Ze Kitchen Galerie

A truly excellent meal. The restaurant is well-deserving of its Michelin star, and I was particularly impressed with the value of their lunch offering. The food was superb from start to finish. Beyond the cuisine, the staff cultivated a welcoming and pleasant environment, contributing significantly to the positive experience. It's a place I would recommend for high-caliber dining that remains accessible.

My wife picked this michelin for lunch. Started with a nice soup that is slightly sour carrying a taste of tom yum, followed by starters of fish and lobster that were impeccably cooked and presented. Our mains were cuttlefish, duck and fish. I love they made my cuttlefish like noodles which are fresh and cooked nicely, the duck is medium rare and tender like heaven. My daughter's fish is equally perfectly made, she's thrilled as a fish lover. The desserts are refreshingly light, and I like them not filling and not too sweet akin to other typical French desserts.

Fascinating fusions and an interesting approach to modern cooking. Somewhat acidic profile that does at times overwhelm the senses. Good value for money if you go for the lunch option. Staff are friendly but a bit superficial

Food and service was amazing! Ever dish was presented beautifully and the flavours were beautifully balanced. Well worth every penny we spent. We chose a vegetarian option due to personal choice and they catered for it beautifully. The staff were attentive and kind and welcoming. I would highly recommend! Thank you for a memorable evening

We absolutely loved our dining experience! The food was not just delicious, but also super creative and full of inspiration. Every course was a delight! The service was outstanding; they really went above and beyond. Even when my wife arrived quite late, they were so accommodating and let her order a main course. Plus, my six-year-old twin boys felt like little princes the whole time! It was such a wonderful experience for our family!

Amazing dishes with the fusion taste introducing some idea from Eastern Asia. Also a great selection of wines.

True to it's Michelin star, this restaurant delivers exquisite dishes on a surprise (not printed) 5 or 7-dish menu based on the freshest ingredients. The chef added s lot of citrus notes to the current menu, which made it light and interesting. Short, but confident wine list. Warm service. Reservation is a must. Very highly recommended

Great experience, the food was delicious and the environment really warm and welcoming. Every dish was an explosion of flavours and a perfect combination of different ingredients, each releasing a different still engaging taste! Strongly recommend!

Such a cool place. They mesh Japanese and French cuisine in creative ways. We were there for lunch and had the three course menu. I had the lobster appetizer, the ibérico pork, and the wasabi ice cream. The lobster may have been my favorite lobster ever. Tender, juicy, citrusy, buttery... just delicious. The pork was good, but not great. The sweet sauce was amazing. They crisped the skin, but not enough for me. The meat was a bit tough. The wasabi ice cream was absolutely fantastic. You could definitely feel the wasabi. Not a huge fan of wasabi, but then combine the flavor with white chocolate in ice cream... well, just fantastic. A spicy ice cream, but not long lasting (wasabi). Such a surprise to me. Very very cool... the chef walked around to greet guests after dinner. A very nice touch. The price was fair, for a high quality meal in my opinion.

The prix-fixe menu here is great! Each bite was wonderful. A lot of Asian flavors are used here, including ones with soy sauce or gojujang. It was fun to experience Asian-French flavors. The progression of the courses were generally good, going from light to heavier courses. For both the pre-dessert and dessert, ice creams were served, which is a little odd to me. I would have expected something different (maybe a cake?) would be served for one of them. Having said that though, both ice creams were enjoyable. The restaurant is also very accommodating for allergies and dietary restrictions. The table next to me did not eat gluten, meat, seafood, and soy...basically, they can drink water...and the staff somehow accommodated them!

My first time at a Michelin Star restaurant and I've never tasted so many new flavor combinations and textures in one sitting! A 3-course meal was about 50 euros whereas a 5-course (omakase-style) was ~80 euros. The service was great. The servers all speak English. The location is easy to find; It's on a small street close to the Seine RIver. Reservation is required to dine here. When we went, they always made sure there was multigrain (?) bread on the table. The bread was delicious.... soft inside, beautiful crust. No toppings were needed - the seeds themselves gave it an abundance of flavor. The experience started with a palate-cleansing soup/drink that tasted different when it touches your lips and when it goes down your throat. The best way to describe it was that it had a clear but vinegary taste/feeling. For appetizers, I recommend the eel, which is probably my favorite dish. The wasabi ice cream was beautifully plated and surprisingly worked. Expect to be at the restaurant for 2 hours (for 4 people starting at 12PM). Would recommend if you're looking for Fresh/Asian inspired food in Paris.

I dined at Ze Kitchen Galerie while on a solo trip in France. I was super excited to experience a one star Michelin star restaurant in Paris and was surprised the lunch set was only €41. The meal began with a Thai broth which tasted heavily like coconut milk and not much else. Then I ordered the appetizer of the day, which was this oyster and caviar dish. The oysters were wrapped in some vegetable that I didn't quite catch. I felt like the flavors weren't very powerful and overall it was extremely underwhelming. Then came the fish of the day. It was half raw, half cooked, making the fish suuuuper unpleasant to eat. The raw bits were chewy and slightly crunchy, and the flavors were Thai again so it felt kind of repetitive. It was so upsetting because I was really looking forward to this meal and I couldn't even eat another bite of my entree. The waiter eventually asked if everything was okay since I wasn't eating and I let him know I was finished. He then came back and insisted that the chef wanted to make me something else which was incredibly kind. They sent me their scallops which were really good. The saving grace to me was the staff but the food was not good enough for their one star distinction. I wouldn't recommend visiting.

Each dish had several ingredients thus my lack of detail with the pictures. The fennel shortbread with one of the desserts was one of the best things I've ever eaten. There were things I would never put together and they were absolutely amazing. We did the five course menu and it was plenty of food. The atmosphere is lively without being too loud. It is beautifully decorated and well lit. The service was if possible, casual in the most professional kind of way. The owner seemed to be reviewing each dish that was brought from the kitchen before being served. We were here a few years ago and it is just as good as I remember. I think it is a good value, not offensively priced and a real experience.

Sublime food and service. Highly recommended if you enjoy Japanese food. Classic ingredients, modern twist.

Let me start but saying that I felt a bit underwhelmed at Ze Kitchen Gallery. The food is good and the overall experience is nice but it didn't feel as "fine dining" as the price would suggest. The mise en bouche, the plates, the service , everything was good but it lacked a bit of magic. I felt the dining room was a bit cold. Or maybe it was just me?

This beautiful restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The service team is charming and knowledgeable, and the menu is tantalizing. Each plate was presented as though it was a work of art. Every bit was completely unique and delicious. While eating our final course, dessert, our minds were blown away with the wasabi Ice Cream. This was our best meal in Paris, and highly recommend it.

Went again in December - loved the meal and was surprised at how different the dishes were. My pics and the descriptions should more than cover why this place has a Michelin star and why I keep coming back.

Most amazing eclectic menu. Five or seven choices on the text price menu. Expensive at the twins €100 and €125. Wait staff outstanding. Kitchen immaculate attention to detail and presentation. Wine list short but tasty and prices accordingly. Ambiance fun and current. Cannot recommend highly enough. Memorable evening of dining.

One of the best dinners during our 2 weeks in France. The reservation process was a bit involved, but completely worth the extra steps for a unique and memorable experience. I made our reservation online before our trip and immediately received an email that my request was received. Confirmation of the reservation came the following day by email. On the morning of our dinner I received another email to either call the restaurant directly or confirm with another email before 4 pm that day to guarantee our table. I sent the email but also had our hotel concierge call to confirm. That afternoon the restaurant called me directly to finalize our reservation (yay!) I unfortunately did not take a photo of the menu, but the option for dinner is either a 6 or 8 course prix-fixe tasting menu. Descriptions of several dishes are provided on the menu, but our server explained that this was only a sample of what could be served. Our server did ask if anyone in our party had food allergies or vegetarian preferences. I took photos of each dish except for the amuse-bouche which was a pork croquette accompanied by a shot of a beet juice concoction that whet the appetite for what was to come. All the dishes were artfully plated and delicious with inventive flavors and textures. The cuisine is described as French-Asian fusion but the Asian influence is subtle. We loved the traditional French dishes we had during our trip, but I have to admit the modern take on French cuisine was most welcome toward the end of our stay in France! Service was excellent and non-obtrusive. All the servers speak English. The restaurant is off a small side street on the left bank by the Seine. This was an amazing experience and one that I hope we can revisit the next time we visit Paris!

This is a budget-friendly Michelin Star Asian French fusion restaurant. I really enjoyed their unique creations with classic Asian dishes. This 8 course meal was about 100 euros per person for dinner which is a great deal. The service as expected was outstanding and I really enjoyed every dish! I highly recommend you book at least two months in advance so you can lock in a reservation.

Comme se dit "Jazz in your mouth"? This restaurant was stupendous. From the intimate setting and the gracious staff, our every moment there was a thing of beauty. I was so sorry that we were only there for lunch because we had done a rather extensive tasting menu a couple of nights before and my husband wasn't up for more than a short course lunch. We were both feeling like we wished we could return for dinner, it was truly an expression of creativity and beautiful flavors from all over the world. If there is one fine dining experience you choose during your stay in Paris, this is the one I would choose. The courgette with cockles was divine and a revelation of flavors, light and fragrant. Our dessert of wasabi ice cream with white chocolate and berries was like nothing we had enjoyed before. Thank you, Ze Kitchen Galerie for a truly delightful afternoon!

Very underwhelmed by the food, nothing to write home about. It was pretty good, but they had no vegetarian options as entrees. The service was pretty bad in all honesty. The one server was kind, but they would only speak to us in english, got upset when I said I was vegetarian, and I could understand them gossiping about us in French. The ambiance was also pretty underwhelming for a michelin star. It felt kind of like an office space. would probably not go again.

A Michelin starred lunch is the sort of treat you need to give yourself occasionally to remind yourself of what a privilege it is to live here in Paris. Make sure to book ahead as it's normally completely full at lunch time. Very reasonable pricing, including 3 courses for 48 euros. Attentive service. Well-designed plates. Modern decor. Heavily weighted chairs. Experience a modern Michelin lunch in Paris.

Don't believe this is anything less than 5 stars! We went for lunch and what an amazing experience. We decided to do the 5 course menu and they were able to do no meat for me (seafood only) and a mix for my husband. The dishes are amazing- it's French and it's Asian (very Thai inspired) and all around delicious. The cod dish and wasabi ice cream were my favorite! They have a very nice wine menu and will help you make by the glass recommendations so you can try a little bit of everything. We even had a sake with dessert! The service is very nice, and I would highly recommend!! Lunch took us about 2 hours so it's a nice spaced out meal but still gives you plenty of time to explore the city. Go here!!

Excellent food incorporating local & seasonal ingredients to its ever revolving menu. The place billed itself as modern French and it fully lived up to its name. All the creations were substantial & made sense - none of the pretentious modern creations hiding behind high concept or heavy sauces. Trust yourself to the assured hands of the chef/crew & the mission of the restaurant & simply go with the tasting menu. You will be glad you did. My friend & I enjoyed the evening's dinner comprising of the most delicate fish, succulent pork, seafood plate with prawns & the most delectable of dessert capped off with cappuccino. The kitchen staff operated and prepared the food behind glass enclosure which you can view as they ran from station to station. Fun to watch. There was no outdoor seating. The seating was intimate - tables were small & close to each other - typical of most Paris restaurants. The dining room felt a little closed in even though there were some large windows to the street. The host for our table was perfect - he really knew all the dishes, explained them to us in detail and recommended an excellent wine. We did feel bad about one of the servers. He had a really hoarse voice, coughed consistently with sniffles and he tried to explain the dishes in detail even when we dropped hints he didn't need to. He was not wearing a mask either. He was replaced after two dishes at our table but we did see he was still assigned to other tables throughout the evening. It was a bit awkward. We didn't want to bring it up with management in case it impacted his employment. Management should have been more self-aware & took precautions to make sure the server was healthy & minimize the exposure to the diners.

Best tasting menu I've ever had! Friendly staff and kitchen. Fun atmosphere. Lovely but relaxing. The food is amazing! Don't skip this when I'm Paris!

Had a good dinner in this one Michelin Star restaurant. We went with the tasting menu which was budget friendly for a Michelin Star restaurant. Would recommend booking a week or two in advance to avoid disappointment. Everything was great so I won't go into details. My favorite dish would be the shrimp with tomatoes sauce and the blue lobster. For the dessert I wasn't a fan of the ginger ice cream thought the ginger taste was too strong. Overall a good place to spend an evening with a loved one.

We came here with 4 adults and 3 children (4 and under, crazy right?) to a Michelin Star restaurant hoping they would not kick us out. However, the staff was very nice and attentive for what you would expect at a Michelin star restaurant. The adults had the chef tasting menu (up to 8 items) for 98€ per person, not bad relative to other restaurants in the US. The food is delicious and the best compare to the 9 day eating extravaganza we had on this trip so far. Each plate is carefully crafted, thoughtful and great contrast of flavors that blend together beautifully. Every dish is eye candy worthy of magazine cover so much that you don't want to mess it up with your fork. Each dish appears to have one Asian ingredient making it very interesting for your palate. See the photos I posted for each dishes.

We spent our last night in Paris here, and it was a 5 star experience!! We did the 8 course pairing; they accommodated my pregnancy and gave me no raw fish. Excellent service; couldn't have been faster or more polite. They also speak fluent English! Our favorite courses of the day were the sea bass... incredibly moist and tender. I loved the stuffed squash blossom. It was so unique!! I also loved the mussels in a unique Asian-like broth. I was intimated by the goat but it was actually delicious. They cooked the tuna more for me and it didn't take away from the taste one bit! Getting 3 desserts was also A-okay with us! We could've rolled ourselves home. Such a great experience.

We had a quick lovely lunch here. We picked it mainly by it's location as it's very close to the Louvre. I had the squid starter, the pigeon main, and the famous wasabi ice cream for dessert. It's all very good with the wasabi ice cream and Thai flavored amuse bouche being the most memorable. The Asian fusion aspect of the restaurant wasn't gimicky or forced, the dishes worked quite elegantly. Worth a visit.

It was our last day in Paris and wanted to have something yummy. Struggled to find a place at the last min and somehow I was able to find this restaurant online. Booking reservation was easy but only in French. But it's not hard to do. As we arrived, we were greeted; then immediately seated at the corded table. You have 2 choices - 6 course or 8 course meal. We picked 8 and decided to have a bottle of white wine which a server recommended. From the start to finish, it took us 3 hours; but what was interesting that they didn't not have anyone take the table next to us and kept us with good privacy. Not sure why but we loved the detail and kind consideration. (Must be the dress I wore?!?! LOL) This restaurant is inspired by Asian fusion flavor. It is very unique but it works. My fiancé was really pleased with the place I booked so that made me really happy. If we had another chance to come back to Paris in near future, I would love to revisit here again. Thank you for the wonderful time. And yes everyone speaks English

What the heck is a physilus? Goldenberry in the wasabi desert that was actually something I have never tried being an American and all. Looks like a small cherry tomato but tasted like a passionfruit. With an open kitchen, it's like being in an exclusive club. So much so that actually 2 of the restaurant cooks actually argued a bit causing a bit of confusion and some entertainment. Pasta with pork belly tasted great. Though we had to send it back since the past was way too al dente. These culinary grads are great at what they do. In fact they are so advanced that they couldn't boil the pasta to correct texture! It's okay though, the pork belly was really melt in your mouth tender.

We were in Paris for our honeymoon and I read so many great things about this restaurant. It is off a cute little side street near the Seine. We made reservations about 2 weeks in advance because I heard that they can get booked up. We opted for the 8 course tasting menu. It was about 98 Euros but for a Michelin Star restaurant for dinner that is very reasonable. We were quickly seated in view of the open kitchen. There was artwork around simple design, perfect ambience. We ordered a bottle of pinot noir and out came the amazing array of food. Honestly, we didn't take any photos or even write down what we ate. All I can tell you...it was AMAZING! We were pretty full and I think the 6 course menu would have been perfect for us but nonetheless we rolled out of there very happy! Next time we are in Paris we will definitely be back.

I love lunch in Paris! Dine at an excellent Michelin starred restaurant for a fraction of the cost of dinner, procure reservations much easier, and still have a chance to do a meet-and-greet and photo opp with the head-honcho-starred chef himself. Ze Kitchen Galerie is billed as a French-Thai fusion restaurant. In a few of the dishes that we ordered the Thai and other Asian influence was very prominent. In others it was not. Nothing to complain about, however (just a note), as every dish was delicious and plated artfully. I started with with Tourteaux which consisited of crab, green peas and coral condiment in a very Thai green curry-esque broth. It was quite good, however I found myself eyeing my wife and our friend's dishes of squid and softshell crab pasta and the raw tuna with strawberry (which looked to pretty to eat). For the main I couldn't help but order beef wagyu -- I had ordered a similar dish at Joel Robuchon a couple of days prior and wanted to compare the technique, taste and presentation. ZKG prepared one of the best pieces of steak I've had in my life! For desserts, I must recommend the glace chocolat blanc - wasabi if available. It's white chocolate and wasabi ice cream with pistachio and strawberry. I'm a lover of chocolate and hazelnut so I ordered the Noisette (hazelnut ice cream with coffee, buckwheat and cocoa) instead, but I kept digging into my wife's dessert! Service was excellent and very friendly. In my opinion, this was our best meal in Paris yet!

This was my favorite meal in Paris!!! My boyfriend and I made reservations in advance for the 8 course tasting. We had the wine pairings, as well. The courses consisted of sea bream fish ceviche, escargot, pasta with scallops, yellow cod, whiting, quail, and two desserts. The food has Japanese and French influences with gastronomy. The flavors were amazing. Everything was prepared perfectly. The service was also very attentive and accommodating. I wish I lived closer to Paris just so I can frequent this restaurant!

Many of the brasseries and restaurants in Paris offered a menu that seemed to lack imagination. I'm sorry. There are only so many plain steaks and pomme frites to be had. Coming from Los Angeles where it seems that every restaurant is some kind of fusion and each new restaurant steps up to the plate with serious bravado in hopes to out shine its predecessors, I felt spoiled. I wanted to like the food in Paris. I really did, but I couldn't. The one meal that was truly interesting, unique, well crafted, well executed AND was accompanied by excellent service was my dinner at ZKG. The interior is sort of all over the place vacillating between ultra modern woods and stainless steel and at times feeling a tad 90s with geometric shapes and bright colors, but their food was nothing if not contemporary. I highly recommend the Casareccia, Thai Bouillabaisse,Tuna Bressaola, and Pistou Condiment as an appetizer. It is only mildly fishy, not overly salty, yet the flavors were full and rich. My companion very much enjoyed the tender Suckling Pig, Thai Curry Jus, Quince Condiment. I also liked the confit grilled waygu beef with teriyaki au jus--- although not nearly as noteworthy as the other two items I mentioned. Side note: If you require a two topper request not to be seated at a table on the long wall. Unless you are a munchkin there are just too many tables too close together. Even the most petite Parisians can't easily wiggle in and out of those table. And XKG is not inexpensive. Appetizers average 25 Euros.

Having a meal that leaves you saying "Wowwwwwww" doesn't come along very often. This place definitely left that impression with me. Ate lunch here and it was just an absolute great first meal in Paris. Beef wagyu - tartare was such a nice way to kick off the meal. Obviously with this type of beef, you know you're gettin some good shit. Quail and foie - holy hell. This dish. First, I hate the stupid ban in CA. Everything was fantastic but what really made this dish was the sauce that accompanied the quail and foie. Holy. Just order this. White chocolate and wasabi icecream- THIS DESSERT. so frackin good. The wasabi icecream is really subtle but the wafer cookie that came with this dessert was the perfect compliment to this dish. Geezus. Our server was so friendly and so forgiving of our terrible and non-existent French. It seemed like half the restaurant spoke English. Restaurant is really clean and if you can, get a seat near the kitchen window so you can watch the masters work. FANTASTIC meal. Shoot.

I had to check out Ze Kitchen galerie when multiple people said it was a "must experience." The reviews on this place were very high & I was pleasantly surprised I could get in on a Saturday night. First off, the decor was very modern & the vibe was trendy, but not obnoxious. The service was exceptional, but the food was hit & miss. The dishes are definitely about the presentation as much as it was about the taste. The menu is Asian/French fusion which made for some unique dishes. To be honest, it wasn't my thing. Maybe this place is just cooler than me :-) While I can respect the progressive dishes I prefer more traditional french fair. It was nice to cross this place off the list and happy to have the experience. That being said, the rest of my trip, I stuck with crepes ;-)

2 couples, celebrating my beloved's birthday. We were in Paris, they came from London to celebrate with us. They booked the place in advance. It was ABSOLUTELY superb. We went for a 6 course-menu, and the restaurant accommodated our food preferences beautifully (we don't eat meat, the other couple does). Divinely delicious food, beautiful wines and champagne, superb service - blending professional and personal seamlessly. A truly memorable evening!

We had a fabulous dinner here this past week. The flavors and textures were remarkable. For me the most memorable dish was lobster and white beans served in a seafood coconut milk broth. A white chocolate and citrus dessert with matchsticks of orange flower meringue was memorable. For wines we had a saumur,an Ostertag Riesling and a glass of Crozes Hermitage. The service was efficient and friendly.

We were lucky to be able to reserve a table with little warning at this highly recommended restaurant. Full of hope I asked for a table near the kitchen (so we could spy on the great artwork being made in there), and luckily the pleasent staff complied. As for introductions to our waiter and our second waiter (!), everything went smoothely. And it only got better from that point on. We were asked how we would like our 7 course menu served and if there were any allergies or preferences we might have. We kindly replied that we were vegetarians. The waiter smiled knowingly and made sure our menu would be served accordingly. The dishes themselves were heaven, but the attention to detail blew my mind. I know that the visual experience to any meal is important, but this 7 course menu was borderline ridiculous. All the dishes had their own signature and tasted as if they had been perfected through milions of trials and errors. It was heaven. We were offered some great bottles of wine and when we admitted that we knew nothing about wine in general, we were adviced in a very trustworthy and friendly way. Together with the waiter we picked out 3 sorts of wine that would suit the vegetarian menu, and we were very happy with our choices. I complimented the waiter on his knowledge, and he replied that someliers usually know a thing or two about grapes. Well then, i said, touche. The service was so good in fact, that when we were leaving, our watier handed my girlfriend a present (that I had given him at the beginning of our endeavour) and he played along very nicely. He only said, that the present had just arrived with a courrier from overseas. My girlfriend shockingly looked at me whilst I gave her my bravest stoneface and looked back at the waiter, who just stood there. Thrustworthy. What a trooper! Seconds later the waiter just wished us a good evening and wished we would return for another visit - and after an evening like this it is higly likely we will return for another adventure very soon. Oddly enough the price for it all was way less than I had expected. All of the above was only around 250Euro, which, for a Michelin restaurant, is in the low end. I'm still baffled about how they did all that for that little.

One of the best meals and experiences in Paris! The food was delicious, colorful, and fun. The location and staff superb. A local shared this Restrurant spot as a hidden jewel for favor and flare! In fact it was so good I was going Saturday too, but they are closed.

Two of you can get out of here during lunch for less than 100€. We walked in with no reservations and were seated immediately. Coming from the SF bay area, this might be alarming, but Paris might just have too many good restaurants. We ate at another M-star place during our stay in Paris and paid 220€. Ze Kitchen turned out to be the much cheaper and better meal.

This was the best dining place I ate at during my last visit to France. Service impeccable. Nice airy ambience with art. You just never want to leave. There were some Japanese documentary filmmakers that day, but not intrusive. Every dish was artistically presented, and tasted delicious. The lunch tasting menu is the best bargain. I had the mussel soup, roast quail on the bone, fig tart. DH also enjoyed his meal immensely. He had the grilled octopus, roast suckling pig and raspberries with white chocolate ice cream. They have a Kitchen Galerie Bis on the same street, in the same vein as Alice Waters Chez Panisse and Chez Panisse Cafe.

Our last night in Paris and one of our most anticipated dinner reservations set weeks in advance, and I have to say that we were a little disappointed. My husband and I have been to Paris three times together and every time we've returned, we have made a conscious effort to plan a Ze Kitchen dinner. The food is out of this world, and even this time it was pretty magical. However, on dish number two, I almost lost my appetite. Just one mussel over the midpoint of the wonderfully prepared "moules de bouchot" with various-sized mussels, saffron-sobressada juice and tomato-ginger sauce, I found two strands of hair wrapped around a cherry tomato. I am an understanding person when it comes to accidents and mistakes...as long as the mistake is acknowledged. I do not judge the mistake, I just the response to the mistake. However, the waiter just took the plate without either an apology or any follow up. We thought they light "make up" for it later in the eight-course tasting menu but no such luck. All in all, delicious food (again!) almost ruined by an unfortunate service mishap.

A superb dinner! My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here tonight. Ze Kitchen Galerie offers a French Asian fusion menu and we ordered the 8 course dinner. Our amused bouche was asparagus coconut milk Thai soup, an excellent start. Next up was succulent raw sea bream marinated in celery juice with apple and fennel and wasabi. The highlight of our meal was the haddock in a Thai bouillon of light coconut milk with lemon grass and thyme and parsley. (The sauce was amazingly good!) Then we were served pasta with grilled lamb, olives, and a little goat cheese. Our next fish course was yellowtail cooked with fennel and grapefruit with a deep green watercress sauce. An additional fish was sea bass in a red curry foam with baby leeks and broccoli. Next we had duck times 3: a slice of duck breast with little fat and a super crispy skin, a small roasted duck leg, and a duck filled spring roll, along with parsnip and carrot and potato in a rich blood orange sauce. We finished with 3 dessert. First a white chocolate wasabi ice cream with mango passion sauce. Second a vanilla ice cream with chestnut sauce and an orange financier. Third a coconut sorbet with pineapple cake. The service was terrific. An outstanding meal!

French Technique and Asian inspired ingredients and flavours produces fusion at it's very best A Thai curry inspired Bouillabse with sweetbreads was really amazing. The food was so good I even bought Chef William Ledeui's book (even though I cannot read French!!) Quite simply. One of the best meals I have ever had :-}} Bravo William for a really exciting dining experience.

This was the best gourmet meal of our trip to Paris. As spoiled San Francisco foodies our standards are high but this place exceeded them. A tasting menu takes all of the guesswork out of picking the best dishes, and allowed us to sit back and enjoy each and every creative, expertly-crafted course. The friendly, attentive service matched the food in quality, and there wasn't a single course that missed the mark.

8 course surprise was my choice tonight..,, every course had perfect presentation the staff all spoke English and was friendly and attentive. I'm not a fan of foi gras (duck liver) but I decided to go with the flow.... it had a good mixture of flavors from Asia, France and portions were perfect. The ambiance is very artsy and modern. This is actually a 4.5

Good food and innovative. Nice happy atmosphere. The waiters did not seem attentive at the beginning. It took them a while to come back and serve us. We had six course dinner. Each dish was inventive and arrived at the good time ( well timed) . Wine was a bit light from the recommendation but was easy to pair with the the food. I think enough to try once and recommend to go.

Loved the lunch. Very popular and wonderful service, with exquisitely prepared dishes

This would have a been a 5-star review if it was solely based on the food. It lost two stars because of the champaign scam at the front door. Beware and read on! The good: This was the best meal we had on our trip to Paris. It was an especially good way to end our trip because the Asian fusion menu is a nice change after a week's worth of classic French cuisine. High priced but worth it for the food. I had the white bean thai broth for an appetizer and it was a work of art. Beautiful on the plate and fantastic on the palate. I had the fish of the day (sea bass) and the wasabi ice cream for dessert. I can't say enough about the quality of the food. This was a wonderful meal up to the point that our bill arrived and we discovered we were victims of an unnecessary "gotcha". When we arrived, a host was giving glasses of champagne to all guests as they were removing their coats. We thought "Gee, this is nice!" Little did we know that each glass was billed at 16.5 Euros PER GLASS on our bill! 33 Euros added on to the bill for what we thought was a complimentary courtesy is beneath the quality of the food at this restaurant. It was hard to do after a wonderful meal but this left a bad taste in our mouths. They don't need to do that. The food was worth the price and maybe a little bit more. Shame on them for resorting to a trick like that. Beware . . . (that's why it's not five stars)

Delicious restaurant, offering a mix of French and Asian fusion cuisine. At this point, preparing the meals is a mixture of art and science, where the cooks try to achieve perfect balance of flavors and tastes for best experience. I have tried several meals on the menu. Couldn't resist to taste what family had in their plates. There's nothing I can recommend specifically. Or more precisely, I could recommend anything. One slight suggestion: most meals are quite tasty, so if you want to order some wine, don't hesitate to taste a rather strong one. Also, impeccable service, just perfect. That restaurant fully deserves its Michelin star!

Words can't convey how much I love Ze Kitchen Galerie, but I'll try. In planning our recent trip to Paris, we endlessly researched restaurants and kept hearing about Ze Kitchen. Luckily, I was able to snag a reservation. Things went a little awry once the date neared, as my international phone plan turned out to be a bust and I had no means of confirming my reservation (a must, according to restaurant policy--understandable). Alas, we showed up for a reservation that had been cancelled. But it was under these unfortunate circumstances that Ze Kitchen won my heart. The kindly gentleman at the front desk was able to fit us in later in the evening, and sent us on his recommendation to a nearby wine bar (Chez Nous--also wonderful). One glass in and about to order another, another gentleman from Ze Kitchen ran over to notify us that there was an even earlier opening, and escorted us back to the restaurant! This sort of service doesn't happen just anywhere. And for the rest of the night, the entire staff treated us like royalty. This would have been enough to earn five stars in my book, but the food--oh, the food. A perfectly calibrated tasting menu, outstanding (even mind-boggling) flavors that expertly, delicately blend French and Asian cuisine. We loved every course. And not a single misstep in the service for the entire 2.5-hour meal. By the time we left, we were walking on air along the Seine. Ze Kitchen earns every inch of their Michelin rating. It was probably my favorite meal of our trip, and by far my favorite experience. Merci beaucoup, Ze Kitchen Galerie!

Our last trip to Paris was more budget friendly. On this trip, my husband and I were determined to eat well. We did extensive internet research before we came and had a few must tries in mind. Ze Kitchen Galerie was on top of our list. I tried making dinner reservations a couple weeks before our arrival and it was all booked up! So, definitely make dinner reservations well in advanced. We settled for a lunch reservation instead. The restaurant was not hard to find. Inside, the dining room was very modern with a minimalistic approach to the decor. We sat at a table right near the window that looked into the kitchen. I was impressed that such a small and cramped looking kitchen was able to churn out the amazing dishes we had. We went for the 3 course menu that includesd a starter, main and dessert for 48€. I ordered thusly: Paccheri (pasta, squid, soft shell crab, Thai bouillabaisse) - excellent start to my meal. The pasta was wonderfully al dente, the squid had the perfect texture and the bouillabaisse with the slight Thai flavor and aroma tied it all together so well. Péche du Jour (fish of the day, Thai artichoke juice, citrus condiment) - I now forget what kind of white fish this was but it was cooked just right--nicely tender and flakey. I didn't taste much Thai in the artichoke juice and the fish was a bit bland for my taste. Overall though, it was a delicious dish. I think it was tasting what my husband ordered that made my fish pale in comparison. He ordered the bœf wagyu--the best thing I tasted on this trip to Paris I dare say. Glacé Chocolat Blanc - Wasabi - yes, wasabi ice cream. I ordered this dessert mainly out of curiosity and it paid off because it was great! The wasabi flavor was slight but still notable. The ice cream sat atop this wonderful syrup made of berries and underneath were crumbles of granola which added a very nice crunchy texture. The service was great and nearing the end of our meal William Ledeuil, the chef himself, came out to greet all the tables. He was very kind and even took a picture with us. All in all, I really enjoyed my dining experience at Ze Kitchen Galerie. Next time we visit Paris, we are definitely coming back!

An unassuming yet excellent restaurant like this speaks of the level of overall restaurants in this city. My experience was comparable or even better than many of the Micheline starred restaurants I've been to in NYC. I was extremely impressed with each dish, loved the variations of purée and sauces. There was an abundant use of coconut milk and lemon grass. We had the tasting menu that included: Appetizers: - Shrimp and lobster salad with mango purée - Escargot with baby asparagus in lemongrass and coconut soup - Polenta with lemon grass and coconut foam, scallion, bread crumbs (excellent) Entree: - Grilled mullet in bouillabaisse sauce - Kobe beef (they said wagyu beef imported from Spain) steak with yuzu. Dessert: - Wasabi and coconut ice cream with miso, black and jasmin tea foam (this is the only dish the restaurant does not change every 5 weeks) - Kabocha ice cram The waiter recommended a very good and reasonable wine. Excellent food, service and ambiance.

Each time I'm in Paris, this is one meal I always put on my to-eat list. Beautiful fusion dishes -- this chef knows how to marry clean Asian flavors and flawless French technique. Despite weeks in Italy, the best ravioli I've ever consumed came from here stuffed with succulent lapereaux. The 39-euro three-course lunch is a nice deal if you're looking for a meal that is off the beaten path of classic French and will be memorable for its creativity. The farcis chou and the glace chocolat blanc-wasabi are musts. (One dessert is definitely enough for two.) As is the case with the first reviewer of this restaurant, if fusion and/or foams don't fire up your palate, take a pass. I'd give Ze Kitchen five stars if not for the borderline smug waiter.
