My wife and I had dinner here the other night. My wife has a unique allergy and we had a modified 5 course dégustation. We also chose the wine pairing option from France to go with it.
This 2-Michelin star was good but wasn’t exceptional. Their presentation was immaculate and our service was good, also not exceptional. However I noticed a few things which other 1-Michelin star restaurants were more switched onto. Delivering food to a table whilst 1 person was walking back to the table was a little shocking to see. Also when they cleared all of the dirty plates from our table one was missed and only collected once we had started eating our next course.
Yes they gave us each a unique knife for the night and they were lovely, however it was blunt and cut like a butter knife and also never changed so every dish was mixed together with flavours from the last dish.
The other issue I found they gave the smallest bit of bread I’ve ever seen. I would’ve liked more as I like to soak up the remaining sauce with bread. I did asked for more and they gave an equally small piece again. I left a little piece for the chicken dish but when I returned to the table the bread was gone. Rather disappointing and I didn’t feel comfortable asking for it back.
Their food was presented exceptionally, and the mushroom reduction we had in the kitchen was phenomenal. I feel they did miss the mark with a couple of dishes and the flavours just didn’t go. I feel the sommelier has missed mismatched our wines (possibly because we had a modified menu and the wines weren’t modified). We had all white dishes (seafood and chicken) and they chose a couple of reds, alone they were exceptional, however together with the dish just didn’t work for our palette.
This was the most expensive restaurant we have ever been to and to see a few avoidable mistakes which you would expect from a normal restaurant not a 2-star Michelin is disappointing. 2x wine pairing and 5 course degustation total of €1236.00
We were on our honeymoon and are very grateful for the Polaroid photo they took of us which was signed by the chef.

I’m genuinely unsure how this restaurant maintains two Michelin stars. We chose the five-course “Trip Around France” menu, expecting an exceptional culinary journey. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of those expectations.
Amuse-bouche – Bland and uninspiring.
Dandelion dish – Creative presentation with a pleasant sauce, but overall unremarkable.
Blue lobster – A signature ingredient, yet the meat was chewy. Once again, the sauce outshone the main element.
Fish course – Acceptable, but nothing distinctive – certainly not what you’d anticipate at this level.
Sweetbread – Served as a large, fatty portion that we found unpleasant. My wife left hers untouched. When the waitress noticed, she questioned us, remarking that others enjoy it and that she had warned us. Her tone became noticeably abrupt afterward. They replaced the dish with chicken, but unfortunately, it was also fatty and lacked flavor.
Dessert – Imaginative in concept (16 mini desserts), yet uninspiring in execution. The clementine dish was extremely sour- where a touch of sweetness would have been expected. When we mentioned this, the waitress again responded curtly, saying it was meant to be “a little sour.” We left most of the desserts untouched.
Wine pairing – The sommelier was knowledgeable, as expected, but I questioned the logic behind selecting two consecutive wines from neighboring villages in Alsace for a menu themed “Trip Around France.” It felt inconsistent with the concept.
Overall, while the first few courses were “good,” none were memorable, and the service after the sweetbread incident made us uncomfortable. For a restaurant with two Michelin stars, this was a disappointing experience. Having spent over €1,300 no refund was offered as compensation for the dissapointment expressed.

My boyfriend treated me to this 2-star Michelin restaurant for my birthday lunch. Everything we had was incredible, the service was top-tier, the staff were so friendly, and the restaurant and everything that comes with it was so eloquently designed- simple yet elegant. Overall, it was an exceptional experience. 15/10 would definitely come back.
Thank you so much for making my birthday extra special.

Location in reality looks less bold, table arrangement a bit boring, service sometimes hectic. Food was too experimental for my taste, I couldn’t entirely enjoy. It seemed as if the menu was fully designed to follow a cause, and the food taste got lost on its way. Presentation was beautiful though – and different.

Wow – OUTSTANDING – maybe top 2 in the world together with Per Se in New York. Both creative and yet accessible and warm. Close to my heart. Amazing flavors and very well assembled . Makes your heart happy and your stomach too. Can’t wait to be back !

This is a nice restaurant that hits the marks expected of a fine dining experience.
To address a few comments –
– as you would expect, most will go for, and review, a tasting menu of some sort. By definition, not every course will be to every person’s taste. But there is a good mix there – some surprises, some contrasts, plenty of classics, sharper flavours and more comfortable ones too. The key thing is it is all well cooked, and presented with flair and imagination. The flavours are subjective, but we thought excellent.
– on the photos the atmosphere looks a little austere / cold. Actually, it is surprisingly warm and intimate without being stuffy. A bit of a 70s vibe going on if you want to embrace your inner Burt Lancaster / Farah Fawcett.
– some fine dining places can be a little stuffy, and then when confronted with slightly more relaxed guests things can get a little awkward. Not so here – the staff are knowledgeable without being condescending, friendly without being informal and are confident in themselves to relax into the service. The same goes for the kitchen crew. There was a difficult table when we went, and they were nicely dealt with.
– it is a big (very big) wine list, and there are pairing options ranging from 150 ish to 1,500 ish. So you can spend a lot of money on them. Frankly, pairing an 8 course meal for me is pointless, as I would be on the floor by the end, so my suggestion, as the food flavours are already so good, is to have a couple of glasses of wine flavours you like and don’t be shy to confirm the price.
So top marks. You won’t be disappointed.

Very nice place excellent service but overall the food experience was not good enough for a 2 star Michelin restaurant. Certainly not for its high end pricing. The 12 dishes menu included more than 20 different items. Each of them was a piece of art. Complex portions from the best ingredients cooked to perfection, and served beautifully.
But the end result which is the taste, was a little disappointing.
Some dishes were very good, others were only good, But on none of them we could say WOW.
That WOW for which one dines in a Michelin stared restaurant. This WOW for which one is willing to pay so much for a meal was missing this evening.

My favorite fine dining restaurant in Paris. Should have gotten 3 Michelin stars many years ago already. Everything is cooked to perfection with a good mix of classicism and innovation. The chef is real hard working and extremely talented. The wine list is very impressive with impossible to find wine and vintages. If you want to splurge while exploring the city of light, don’t look any further.

I had the pleasure of dining at Le Grand Restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience that transported me through the flavors of France. Each dish was a delightful surprise. The food quality was outstanding, the attention to detail was remarkable, and the presentation was a work of art. I couldn’t help but appreciate the creativity and passion that went into every course. I highly recommend!

The pros : great cuisine, great service. An effort to innovate in the presentation, an impressive variety of products, all carefully sourced, prepared and presented. Bringing to your table the authentic flavors of nature, with dishes evoking the sea and the earth. Chef was present in the kitchen as we left.
The cons : on the pricey side, a glass of champagne for fifty four represents a very high multiple.
