Strongly advise to avoid restaurants in Paris

Bad food, bad decoration, crappy restaurant or altogether..

It happens, even in Paris ;-)

 

Many restaurants are overrated and benefit from their renown to level down the quality of their services while keeping the check high..

So we opened this selection of strongly advise to avoid restaurants in Paris.

 

As things often change in restaurants we will send reviewer back to these places… Or not…

 

 Do not hesitate to post your own review and comment existing ones!

 

And the winners are:

 

Editor's choice : L'Absinthe - Restaurant ( thefork.com )

Address : 24, place du Marché Saint Honoré
Opening hours : 12-2.30pm, 7pm-10.30pm
Phone : 01 49 26 90 04
Metro/Bus : M° Tuileries

Nestled in the very charming Saint Honoré Market, close to the well-known “Triangle” Opera-Vendôme-Palais Royal, L’Absinthe is situated in pleasant quiet surroundings.

 

With its trendy Parisian décor, this restaurant looks both like a New-Yorker loft and an authentic Brasserie. You will appreciate to sunbath or have a drink in its nice, calm terrace.

 

The Chef makes you discover a well-thought French cuisine, with original dishes such as the Crab Cake and its crunchy salad with Turmeric dressing, or the Chopped duck with pickling onions, and to finish, the Granny Waffle with plum marmalade and whipped cream.

 

You will also enjoy their brilliant wine list elaborated by Michel Rostang’s daughters.

Hi all, I have lived ,study and worked in Paris training to be a chef! All the comments I seen so far is rather bias! Again, there are many types of restaurants good, bad and ugly! Every country has these. I have travelled to more than 100 cities and m myself a food obsessed as passionate cook both at home and working in a restaurant and eating my way around Paris and France the past year.

The food at the Michelin starred resto is absolutely great and service. However one can still get amazing great food at a lot of 'bistronomy' started by former Michelin star ex chefs who set up their own restaurant. To name a few....sensing,l'arpege, Alain ducasse, guy matin, guy savoy.

This country is truly a gourmet city and one has to spend the money if you are into fine dining or a regular foodie who loves food and do not mind paying for quality!

A one star Michelin we range from 100 to 150 euros per pax,
A two star... 150 to 250
A 3 star ...300 and above
Not including wine!

If you as a tourist mot willing to pay 35 to 65 euros for a good meal then you should definitely visit Singapore! Indeed Paris is one of the most expensive city in the world
You can expect to pay anything from 35 euros to 65 euros for decently good food in Paris! Anything below that expect mass bistro resto especially if are in tourist area!

So get real that is the price! Go to less expensive cities like Singapore or anywhere in Asia where one can get great food for as low as 2 us dollars!

AVOID THE ROYAL TRINITE RUE DE CHATEAUDUN, 75009: THE FOOD IS BAD - THEY CAN'T EVEN COOK CHIPS PROPERLY, THE SERVICE ATROCIOUS, AND THEY SIMPLY DON'T CARE/

My son thinks we should eat in the ifell Tower resturant for the view...not me. Who is correct. I don't think the price is worth it.

My worst meal of the year! I had invited some friends and felt ashamed and irritated by the quality of the food, the presentation and especially the cooking. We did not get at all what we ordered and expected to eat and I agree that this must be industrial food. At this price it is scandalous and I really recommend NOT TO GO. I will continue my cruisade by writing to the French guides as I feel they should know.
Sorry for you visitors of Paris. Try to make a better choice next time you come.

The food was generally tasteless with only potatoes as a vegetable. The whole eating experience was very disappointing and a complete rip off as the prices for badly cooked meat/fish and potatoes was astronomical. Drinks were also over priced with a cup of tea costing over £4. Paris itself is a lovely city but London and Cardiff beat it hollow for choice of restaurants/eating places, value for money and certainly better service. My hotel The Ampere was excellent with a very good breakfast which set us up for the day. Unfortunately the restuarant was closed for evening meals due to it being the August holiday season. However it was a pleasure to come back from a busy sight-seeing day to such comfortable accommodation and helpful staff.

good restuarants
