Waknine

Over presentation better than food. Service was “ok” with highlight of the waitress dropping silverware on us and staining our clothes. The desserts were below average, definitely skip the crepe and crème brûlée which we had one bite. On top of it, check was incorrect and we got charged for cocktails we didn’t have. After 2.5 hours at this restaurant, we watched the owner/ manager go from table to table, greeting everyone but us. With all the options of Paris, why come here.

Great place loved by many movie stars. Unique tableware adds to the charm. Exquisite cuisine.

Total disappointment with cocktails - priced 13€ each (?!). Do not order cocktails! Margarita was not shaken; no salt rim, loads of crushed ice (?!) and whiskey sour had no egg white, wasn’t shaken, with seeds floating around… Both cocktails served with straws…. Ahhhh.

Very friendly staff and great atmosphere! The manager Samuel helped us with charging our phones even putting effort into finding a suitable charger. Deserts were very delicious too!

As you explore the streets of Paris, there are many hidden gems that populate the landscape. This is one of those such gems! As a food critic that meets with the best chefs around the world you begin to understand the simplicity of food is what can make it so special. That is the secret of Waknine - simple, elegant and subtle with a splash of french flair that sets this menu and ambiance well above most. Sit-back and enjoy!

Very good restaurant, we came in at around noon and by 12:30 it was packed with mostly locals. Food was very good, service was also good considering the crowd. Waitress became much nicer after some conversation. Nice menu. I had grilled scallops and my wife had the Asian salad, somewhat expensive but wine prices very good. We would return. It's located in a beautiful part of Paris.

My friend and I had dinner here this week. It was our last night in Paris and we couldn't have asked for a nicer experience. They do have a menu in English. The staff was lovely, our waiter was charming and the food was great, simple, in the best sense, and nicely prepared. I ordered steak and asked if it came with any sides. Our waiter said it came with a salad, but then also brought me a bowl of roasted potatoes, without charge, which were wonderful. He asked if I wanted ketchup, I guess he thinks all Americans like ketchup. I said no, of course! The only thing I'd point out is their options for vegetarians, my friend is a vegetarian, is extremely limited, but our waiter made it work. If I'm fortunate enough to travel to Paris again, I'll definitely go back.

I sat outside at a table while my wife went to use the toilet. Whilst sat down I was told by staff it was reservation only, unless we sit in a back room. That's fine. I was polite said we would leave. My wife came out quickly and was told she could not use the toilet because she was not eating there. I would not go back in a million years.
