Solstice

WOW just had one of the best meals of my life. every course was a BANGER no flops. every bite was so delightful and interesting while being incredibly flavorful and delicious. i also forgot my purse and the waiter came running out in the freezing cold with it as i got into my uber and was about to leave 🙏🥹

Poor service. Would not recommend. The food was alright. The dessert wasn’t great – too busy, with way too many layers. I’ve been to my fair share of nice restaurants to know there are better options out there that offer more value for your money. BUT THE REAL PROBLEM WAS THEIR SERVICE. The “manager” made random offhand comments throughout our visit, including guessing people’s nationalities (and getting them wrong), which was strange and made us very uncomfortable. I overheard him doing this to other guests and it was just weird. He also kept pouring himself huge glasses of wine from the pairing selection and drinking them in the dining room while chatting loudly with other staff members. Most of the staff seemed clueless and likely did not have much experience working at fine dining restaurants. They struggled to explain the menu properly, and only stopped by once to refill our water. One server spent half the time standing in front of a mirror in the dining hall, playing with her hair. The place is tiny so we could all see her. Overall, the experience was disappointing, overpriced, and nowhere near what I would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. Definitely not worth the hype or the star.

It’s hard to figure out where to start with my review because to be very honest - everything was amazing and honestly exceeded our extremely high expectations! The Maitre De was warm, inviting and first class. He welcomed us, seated us and chatted with us in a manner which made us feel as though we both knew the Chef and that we were at his home for an amazing meal. The Server and the Bus Person were both always available, always fussing over us yet they were never obtrusive or bothersome. Our plates were cleaned away, our glasses were full and they were both charming and knowledgeable. The Sommelier was a true gem. Her wine pairings were perfect - PERFECT! When you go to Solstice, you have to indulge and include the wine pairings with your meal. And finally the Chef and his staff created for us, one of the best meal experiences we’ve ever had. This restaurant oozes with talent and approachability - not a common combination for a restaurant of this caliber. If you’re staying in Paris (especially anywhere in the 5 arrondissement) and you do not go to Solstice, in my opinion you have missed out on one of the best meal experiences possible. Oh, and the cheese dessert paired with the wine at the end was the highlight - make sure to order this when you’re here! Bien joue and merci beaucoup!

I understood this as French classics with a Japanese and Korean touch, and was hoping for much more at the end of the meal. Because French cuisine with its heavy use of butter and cream gets very satiated after a few dishes. Service was attentive and excellent as expected from a Michelin starred restaurant. But at the end of the meal, nothing particularly stood out. Ingredients were fresh, cooking was fantastic, flavours were good and well balanced. Perhaps I expected more excitement with more twists with Japanese and Korean elements. All in all, a really good restaurant to visit.

Had a wonderful experience at Solstice. The food was incredible, my favorite dish was the lobster with kimchi dumpling and kimchi sauce! The staff were lovely and the wine pairings were absolutely perfect! Highly recommend!

Absolutely first-rate produce thoughtfully sourced and beautifully treated. French-Asian fusion at the highest level.

What a treat! The staff will make you feel welcomed from the moment you go through the door, the food will surprise you and, accompanied by the wine pairing, it tells a beautiful story, narrated by the always kind and knowledgeable maître d'

What a wonderful dinner and wine pairing. Im willing to return to Paris just to have dinner here again. Thank you Chef for the experience. I had the 8 course omakase. It’s hard to pick what stood out because it was excellent from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and book a dinner here
