Taverne Paillette

Food and services were excellent. We had to dine twice in a row during out 3-day visits. You may need to call and make reservations to be safe, but coming late dinner time, staff were friendly to accept walk-ins. Very busy restaurants clearly for a reason! Would highly recommend.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Taverne Paillette! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it perfect for any occasion. The food was exceptional—especially the crème brûlée, which was flavorful and beautifully presented. What truly impressed me was the service. Our server, was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food, great ambiance, and outstanding service! Can't wait to return!

My second time eating here as I love the food here. The wine I had this time was amazing so did the dishes. The snail dish was very tasty and the mussels were delicious. We loved all the dishes and loved the dessert as well. They have their own craft beer which is very tasty. The love the vibe of the waiters and I would like to recommend you to book in advance as they can get really crowded during dinner time . I promise that worth giving your time and money.

Great restaurant, great food and great people work there. This is absolutely and highly recommended if you are looking for good food and experience. Love the oysters!

As a seaman, I've been to thousands of places around the world. But Le Havre Taverne Paillette stays strong in my heart. Excellent food, positive personal, historic building. So, what can I really say more? When my vessel visits beautiful Le Havre port on 6thofJanuary, I rushed the opportunity to be in taverrne. And always try to bring some of my crew there. Our deck cadet tasted oysters for the first time in his life. And the experience was far positive!!! The third officer got mad on snails and crabs. And I personally enjoyed all the food and positive gastronomic reactions of my guys. The price, the bill.........Who really cares about that, when you explode with pleasure. Thank you so much for that one peace of joy in our hard seamen life.

Amazing place with amazing food. We really enjoyed our meal last night and would definitely recommend this place.

Nice atmosphere. Food tasty. Waiters a little distracted.

Great place for a dinner. There was a moment of hesitation at the entrance - we didn't have a reservation. But they seated us on veranda. The service was excellent - good suggestions, with a smile and patient treat us as not-French speakers. The food was very good. Veal liver was superb! The Chateaubriand spent just 15 seconds too much on a grill (asked for medium). The fries were so-so. Both sauces (Roquefort and shallot onions) were good. Prices are reasonable - so very good value for your money. Recommend!

The food was great. I had medium sized oysters and looks like they were slightly bigger than medium. They tasted great and fresh. The nice waitress recommended they curry as the mussels were slightly smaller. She recommended the mussels in mid-July as they are bigger. We got in right before the dinner crowd amd it then got busy!!! Great atmosphere/ambiance.

Fantastic food, historic location, and excellent service! No Americans in sight, staff was helpful with our attempts to order in French! Easily the best meal we had our entire 2-week vacation that happened to bring us to Le Havre. Definitely check this place out if you are in town!

Awesome food, very good service and beautiful place. It's really traditional French food. Highly recommended

Amazing food for a good price. I had the sourkrout with sausages and ham. The horseradish sauce had some kind of cheese in it. So delicious! Will definitely be going back before we leave back home. Highly recommend. Bon Apetite!

Our family, French and American, visited the tavern this evening. We all agreed that it deserves a 5 star rating. I have to say, it is one of the best meals I have ever had when visiting France. My in-laws had the Chef salade, my husband, the steak tartare, my son had the jambon sec et melon & I had the assiette du terrain. All of the dishes had generous portions, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was very convivial. A good time and good meal was had by all, and we, as such a mixed group, are not so easy to please. Chapeau!

The restaurant was very busy. The German food serves is great as well as the seafood platter. Lots of escargot on the platter, so unless you like snails do not oreder

This place is simply amazing! On a Friday night at 11PM, the magic happens with a boisterous bar section and several dining areas all at capacity. It's no small task to keep the 200+ diners happy... The waiters operate like a well-oiled machine, and the kitchen must be firing on all cylinders to deliver the vast amount of menu items with consistency. It's an impressive operation not to missed. NOTE: For those who indulge excessively there's a vomit urinal - a face level urinal - in the men's room. That's no joke!

The food is always good but service varies a lot - the friend and I who went were clearly students and were speaking in English, and did not receive service at par with other customers, having longer wait times, and less responsiveness from servers, even though I speak French and we were paying guests dressed appropriately.
