Reviews
I ordered the English egg muffin and it was so dry, no sauces or anything added. Just 2 fried eggs put between the muffin. At 33 euro for a coffee and an egg muffin, it was truly not worth it. Would never go back!
Service was fine throughout the meal until the check arrived. The experience ended on a sour note when the waitress was uncomfortably aggressive, boldly asking if I wanted to include the tip in the payment. It felt entitled and unprofessional. It’s a nice spot for a quick bite but the service attitude needs improvement.
A great spot for a relaxed yet upscale Parisian dinner. Highly recommend.
While the location is central and the outdoor seating area is nice, the overall atmosphere feels quite run-down, and the place has lost the charm it had seven years ago. It’s completely overpriced for what is, at best, average quality. There are very few vegetarian options, the pommes allumettes are just regular fries, and the staff seem more focused on their looks than on providing good service. If you’re simply looking to watch a few young models while paying too much for mediocre food, then this might be the place for you. The restrooms are old and poorly maintained.
Each course was a harmonious blend of French tradition and culinary artistry:
Drinks
• A refined start with a glass of Meursault JD and Chablis LP, both exceptional selections for Burgundy lovers.
• A crisp 1664 and refreshing Badoit Verte kept the ambiance fresh and classic.
️ Entrées
• The Spicy Catica was a standout—vibrant flavors with a perfect balance of heat and depth.
• Nems Poulet brought a playful twist to the appetizer menu, marrying French and Asian influences with finesse.
• Escargots Extra—a quintessential French dish—were beautifully executed and rich in garlic herb butter.
Desserts
• The Brioche Perdu with Framboise was decadent, nostalgic, and perfectly balanced.
• The Petit Pot Vanille offered a delicate finish—subtle, creamy, and luxurious.
L’Avenue remains one of Paris’ finest tables for those who value world-class hospitality, haute cuisine, and a timeless setting just steps from the fashion houses of Avenue Montaigne.
The service was attentive and friendly without being pushy, our server was very nice, made great wine suggestions amd somehow kept everything smooth the whole evening.
The food was excellent, perfectl cooked.
What I loved most was the overall experience!
Absolutely worth it
As for the food, I ordered their famous pasta, but honestly, I expected a bit more.
What I really enjoyed was the atmosphere — the vibe of this place is what makes it special.
This applies not only to the Paris location, but also Hôtel Costes, Café de l’Esplanade, and even their NYC branch. They all seem to share the same concept: great food, but very poor and selective hospitality.
Today we came with a baby stroller. Instead of being welcoming, the host immediately said, “No strollers downstairs, only upstairs.” What made it worse is that last time we sat downstairs by the window with the stroller and it wasn’t blocking circulation or disturbing anyone.
When I mentioned that, suddenly the excuse changed to “no available tables.” It felt like another reason being added instead of honest communication. If she had simply said, “Sorry, we’re fully booked right now,” with a kind tone, it would have been fine. But instead the attitude was rude and dismissive: “I told you there is no availability.” And she was ignoring me when I talked to her and looking at her phone.
Hospitality isn’t just about food — it’s about how guests are treated. Unfortunately, these places often give the feeling that certain guests are judged or targeted, especially Arabs, even though we are loyal customers who support and contribute to their success.
Great cuisine, but inconsistent service, unnecessary attitude, and a lack of basic warmth. A place like this should treat every guest with respect, not based on mood, looks, or background
