The view is amazing! We went on a Monday night so it was quiet and not too crowded. The staff ist really friendly. The drinks were expensive but worth the view!
Had a fantastic experience at this bar. The ambiance is beyond incredible, the view simply stunning. From this tasty perch, one drinks in Paris from an elusive perspective. The iconic monuments poke above the rooftops like banners above the Armée de Terre. My experience was lifted even higher by the unparalleled skill and charisma of the bartender. This gentleman of legend provided the tastiest of beverages, often of his own creations on my request, while also serving refreshing and hilarious conversation. Get there early and let the night take you.
Would give 0 stars if I could.
Condescending manager and door man. Do not queue for this place.

They did not mention it is a club for LGBT, we went there and came back home because it was not communicated clearly(they created an ad and wrote it is Aryana Grande and Niki Minaj concert)
Tired, hot and thirsty I stopped by for a cool drink and was welcomed like a princess. From the doorman, to the hostess and bar staff, I could not have been made to feel more welcome in this beautiful hotel. Of course going with the vibe the cool drink ended up being a glass of champagne! Worth every cent.
Fabulous hotel and the service was better than 5stars - the staff couldn’t do enough
Beautiful place, good fantastic and service absolutely amazing! It was a Saturday night, and the DJ was also great, her music was fitting for the mood!
Roman was our host for the night, he was respectful, lovely and attentive. I also appreciated their honesty when it came to my desert, the manger came to me and said he doesn’t think their strawberries are good enough and if I could choose something else because he didn’t want to serve me a desert with not so good strawberries!
Over all fabulous experience and that’s all that matter! au revoir
We decided on a special one night stop after a fortnight in Provence and we were blown away with how attentive and kind all of the staff were. They initially thought we were on our honeymoon but only 35 years too late for that, but everyone saw the funny side. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much.
Although the food was good I found the menu very limited, personally I hardly found something to choose( same for the people setting at the table on my side. Very nice staff, great service, pretty setting, nice music.
I had lunch today, August 31, with two friends in the Jardin d'Hiver. We had a very enjoyable experience.
As it was cold and wet outside, we sat at a table in the lovely room, with really unbeatable service. The menu was simple but delicious, and the dessert quite special.Light and very tasty.
Most impressive, was the wine list which has few rivals in Paris, or anywhere.
We spent over three hours with you, and look forward to returning again soon. Perhaps on a sunny day.
Best hotel restaurant I’ve ever been to. Came for lunch and breakfast and was pleasantly impressed. The staff are so warm and welcoming. Food is delicious! We will definitely be returning soon😘
Stunning romantic terrace with great food and beautiful wines. Professional service. Awesome! It’s a pity the roof top bar serves the last drink at 11:00 pm

You have to visit this place!
We had a table in the garden that was lovely. I had been to Sunday Brunch in beginning of June and the food was wonderful. Today August 13 it was dreadful...the menu had changed. Whoever cooked the soft-boiled eggs had no idea how to cook them. We asked for the Carte des Vins at least 4 times and they kept bringing us the food menu that did not included the wine list. Once we got to order the wine the waiter didn't know how to open the wine bottle! And they did not bring the wine till we were into the second course. As this was a special thank you occasion and I had raved about the food...this was a dreadful experience. Let me know if you go back to the the other menu and I will bring my own wine bottle opener!

Great spot - excellent atmosphere, unbeatable prices, speedy service. The place was so busy on a Friday night and still somehow we got served faster than anywhere in Marseille. They take your order in just the first few minutes and bring you your drinks in the next 5! Incredible.
Was a delightful moment. Nice environment, friendly owner. The food was flavourful and tasty. Definitely a go to place since it is near to the famous Eiffel Tower.
Great rooftop with the most stunning views of Paris! Ideal to go to see the sunset and for an apéro with friends and family. Cocktails are delicious. I went there a few times and always had an amazing time thanks to the manager Federico, who’s very friendly and professional!
For 3 years in row it has been my choice !
Every detail in this hotel is amazing and a peace of art.

The service! The small details they take care of, the butler service and their concierge are excellent.

I would definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking for a luxurious stay with excellent service.

If you want to try a Pastis for less than 2€ you should definitely go to this place! Nice atmosphere, nice people :)
My family and I were in the Jardin d'Hiver for Tea Time and we had the experience of a lifetime. We went in with high expectations at such a luxurious hotel, and they were all exceeded by the exceptional atmosphere, food and service we received. We weren't the most special people in the room, but we certainly felt like it.

The venue is great and the music was good, but minus one star for 20 euro cocktails and minus another star for loads of thirsty guys making the girls we were with uncomfortable leading to a worsened atmosphere.

Very interesting place, if you love music and dance! I was here with POSTHUMAN validator team, and I met here a lot of famous people from Cosmos Ecosystem! Recommend for all people who love to party!
We cannot rate the food, but the drinks were great. We got a bottle of their orange wine and espresso martinis (delicious). The views on Paris are incredible, definitely worth a visit!

Exceptional hotel in all aspects! The staff are very attentive, the family suite very generous and well appointed, and the location was perfect to explore the old town of Nimes. I highly recommend staying at Margaret - Hôtel Chouleur!!

Intimate, old-world charm ambiance, outstanding service and the most divine sauternes I had while in Paris.
Thank you to all of the team at the Hotel de Crillon, for making our stay such a lovely and memorable one. Our 3-night stay in this beautiful property was the grand finale to a wonderful 7-week European holiday. We were particularly touched by the "1973" welcome drawing on our glass top table, as reference to my stay as a 15-year old girl! Our only wish is that your French Government would ban smoking in outdoor areas - particularly restaurants, as we did many years ago in Australia. It is such a shame that people smoke whilst others are eating...and it spoils the lovely ambience of sitting outside in your beautiful courtyards. All public areas (inside & out) should be NO SMOKING!!
Great Mexican food with a French touch. I highly recommend the aguachile dorade; simply sublime. The decor is impeccable, as is the outside space (a little oasis of green and peace). Great service (polite and efficient staff). The value for money could be higher (i.e. I found it slightly overpriced). If you come for the rooftop bar as well, please keep in mind that you won’t have access before 17:00. Also, if you go for lunch and want to return for a drink, the restaurant won’t be able to make a reservation or add you to a waiting list to access the rooftop bar; you will have to queue outside when you return. All in all, recommended.

This restaurant had good food, my mom really enjoyed their fish here. The waitress was super nice, and i think they had great service. My mom said she’ll miss this restaurant.
I have stayed in the majority of outstanding hotels and yours is the best by far! The staff is wonderful, goes out of their way and really seem to "mean it" rather than treating it just as a job. The decorating and comfort are top of the line. I have only one suggestion. I would put a "grab bar" to help someone have stability if lose balance in the shower and one in the bath to help with getting out of the tub. These can be as elegant as your other fixtures and not as wide as the US recommends.
The food was amazing and the people were very friendly. We had the duck and several other dishes that I cannot pronounce their names. Basically, we had the whole menu and every single dish was exceptional!

Excellent! Excellent relation quality/price average 20 - 30 euros per person. Great customer service 🌷
The view was incredible and the drinks were just okay. Staff forgot our food order but I’d give it another shot. The view was truly amazing. Waited in line for over an hour and I’m not sure it was truly worth it to be honest

Are you looking for a reggaeton night? Well this might be the perfect place in Paris for that. There is a live show of the best Latin beats and everyone dances all night. Keep in mind the place is very crowd! And getting a drink from the bar might take you half an hour. Must of the people is on their early twenties.
We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Constance made our first night here a night to remember. She had wonderful recommendations and made us feel like friends by the end of the evening. Camille warmly greeted us every morning for breakfast and was quick to seat us. She was wonderful at making sure our every request was met. The rooftop was amazing as expected, and the rooms were perfect for the length of our stay. We’re certain to stay here again next time we visit
Food was absolutely wonderful! Plates were beautiful and the hosts were very attentive and kind. I wish I took more pictures but was too busy enjoying a delicious meal! The beef cheeks were incredible.
Stumbled upon it on google on first night right after the rain, had an absolute blast. The rooftop is gorgeous with the perfect view of Paris and the Eiffel tower. Arrive early, though. Drinks are nice, prices are expected, and the staff is very friendly. 10/10!!
food was bland, we tried a main dish and some different entrées as well, everything was disappointing and portions insultingly small. waiters didn't know their wine list and had to consult their manager to recommend anything
the only highlight of the evening was going up to see the rooftop, which has an amazing view at night (unfortunately that day it was closed for service due to bad weather)
Had an amazing experience during our stay. We could not have asked for more. Each and every interaction we had with restaurant service team, housekeeping, guest relations, bellboy, butler and various other staff had been fantastic. Over and above, butler and guest service team was very prompt to handle any questions and requests. The little surprise, cake, flowers and balloon this team arranged for my wife birthday made our stay memorable for us. Thank You team

I went there with my grandpa and we were surprise about the taste of the salt and pepper shrimp , so far one of the best we’ve got. The waitress asked if it’s okay that it’s spicy , and if not they can make it less or without , so really good quality price and food ! Definitely recommend !
Amazing boutique hotel in the heart of a wonderful city. Absolutely stunning hotel and delighted we chanced upon it. Will definitely be back again. Staff went out of their way at all times, even helping me improve my language skills. Our evening meal in the reasonably priced bistrot, sitting in the courtyard, was gorgeous. The bedroom was purely luxury. Nîmes, for a smaller city, really packs a punch, and should be on everyone’s list. Thanks! Simone
Quality pillows, robes and towels. A welcome night of luxury after our extensive travels.
Really beautiful rooftop bar with good drinks and snacks. The views from here are absolutely stunning. One can see the Eiffel tower, Notre Dame, and many major sights around the city. Decent wine and drink selection, but personally I would like it if they added a nice non-alcoholic option to the menu, like fresh juice or something, but maybe that's just me. But I really enjoyed the avocado starter which is basically guacamole and chips, but everything tasted really fresh and the chips tasted homemade. What a great new spot! It's only been open for a few weeks, so it wasn't too packed. But I don't know how long that will last.

I went last week with my friends and at the line of the bathroom the guard was violent towards us and hold me strong by the neck while pushing me because the people behind was moving a lot. Tried to talk with the other staff but they just laughed about it. I don't recommend going and less alone.

I went there by mistake thinking I was going to ZHONG next door, that’s probably the trap many people fall in.
The place is not clean and messy, the manager helps in kitchen with his coat on, food is not good.
Everything is overcooked with the same sauce for all the dishes we ordered, dim sum are certainly frozen, not something to do in a restaurant.
Very desapointing.
Tried couple of starters like sifiha, falafel, manakish and sambusa, delicious 😋
This is a nice hotel and would probably stay again. I thought it was a little weird that they’re still offering mini toiletries (seems outdated because of the plastic waste). They also had a hard time understanding what to serve a vegetarian for breakfast.
Chicken skewer is really good and owners are super nice.

We were walking towards Arc de Triomphe and stumbled upon this Chinese restaurant. Since we were craving for some Chinese food, we decided to check it out. Our lady waitress was nice but there’s an old Chinese dude yelling at the chef. We assumed he was the boss. We proceeded to eat our meal in peace which is ok for Chinese food but we noticed the old guy was rude to other customers. There was a family trying to get inside with a stroller but won’t fit in the door so he yelled at them in Chinese and slammed the door closed. He also grabbed stuff from our table without saying excuse me or anything. We asked our waitress if he was the owner and she said yes. I think if this restaurant was not in a good location, people will avoid it. Overall, the food is ok but if you decide to check this place out, make sure the old Chinese guy is not there or it will ruin your meal.

60 euros on the door. Old, poor quality sound system. Budget lighting. Huge ‘ViP’ with nowhere to dance. Aggressive staff. Overcrowded. 10 euro for a bottle of water. I left within 5 minutes. Criminal.

What the heck with this Restaurant?? Owner is nasty, not helpful, and must not want to be in customer service as he certainly did not act like it. I really don’t like to pan a Restaurant, as I try to pick really good places to go to. This owner (only waiter there tonight) was not even remotely nice. The food was quite below average - shrimp was tasteless and the sweet and sour sauce I can make better at home. It was truly sad. I didn’t even complain about the food. The shrimp dumplings were just “ok” - had them better at a neighboring restaurant. The owner was also giving another couple a rough time when they were asking for a dessert menu in English.
Anyway, he gets my pan for nastiness and non helpfulness.

If it were an employee, fire him immediately…….
We loved it. Serviceminded people.
A 'bit' extra all the time to surprise us

We chance upon the restaurant and it was quite full. Food is fine but waitress not very friendly initially. Their sweet and sour pork overly fried. Everything else is fine.
At first we were impressed - a typical Chinese restaurant, with dark wood furniture and a pleasant atmosphere. The appetizers arrived quickly and were delicious. But then people who came for take away got everything quickly, even though they didn't order in advance, while we waited for an whole hour for the main course!! The dishes themselves were mediocre, especially the sweet and sower meat . We were very disappointed.

Truly disappointing experience. I went there to get a birthday cocktail this evening. I wasn’t in a suit but not particularly underdressed either. I wasn’t offered entry into the bar although there were plenty of seats. The barman whisked me out rather impolitely saying they were full. Another couple that showed up as I was leaving and was offered entry right away. At the exit as well, the concierge didn’t even speak to me but was attending to other people. Conclusion : I felt discriminated against based on the colour of my skin.

We popped by Bar 228 walking home from dinner at the suggestion of a local guide. Shout out to the staff at Le Maurice! Everyone we encountered was so nice. The bar and cocktails, albeit pricey, were incredible. We were fortunate to visit while live music was being played, that with the moody decor made for the perfect ambiance.
Amazing food and excellent service, would definitely recommend and go back again when me and my wife are in Paris

I’m fine with expensive bars - but not OK with dishonest bars. I ordered a special Grand Marnier 150. A pricey special treat that is rare and hard to find but was pleased to see it on the menu. After drinks - I was curious and went to the bar to see the bottle - and saw it was the 100 (more common). I was with my wife and not about to ask for a refund and make a scene. If the manager is reading this - train your team to simply be honest. If you don’t have it - no problem. But don’t charge me and pour me something else. That’s fraud.

Exquisite bar, romantic setting, excellent service. The pianist and the saxophonist’s performance truly enhanced the whole experience.
Very nice cafe-bar in the subcultural center of Marseille!
You can seat outside of bar, or inside, and always a lot of people there!
Very comfortable place!

Compared to other palaces this one offered us most probably the best experience. The cocktails are incredible, the ancient chic Parisian atmosphere can be felt everywhere. Having live music makes it all the more enjoyable. Cherry on the cake, the staff is incredibly nice. Will make sure to come back soon.

Lovely cozy place with live music and comfy leather chairs
We had a wonderful stay. The hotel staff was kind, professional but not at all intrusive. The hotel itself is a gem, beautifully restored and ideally situated. Our room was spacious and well appointed (and the receptionist let us in even though we arrived early morning). I strongly recommend the hotel’s restaurant too.
The only slight disappointment during our whole stay of 3 days was the loud music played till 1am on our last night as they rented the hotel lobby for a private soirée. But even with that, we already look forward to coming back for our next trip to Nimes!
Went there for they Beijing Duck, the so called speciality of the house.

Well, if you don't know, how Beijing Duck is done and served, you should not offer it as speciality.

My wife, originally from China, was more then disappointed and so was I. Tried it a few times in Beijing and Tianjin but this was nowhere close.

The Duck skin was offered with pancakes but cucumber was missing. Only onions and sauce. Pancakes way to small to form a roll or picket.

Then they took away the pancakes and served the meat cooked with sauce. This is a absolut no go.

My wife refused to eat it that way and only ate rice which we had to order as side dish.

Might be good for Europeans who never been to China, but if you expect authentic Chinese cuisine, that is not the place to go to.

Sorry, but we are really disappointed.

A true boutique luxury in the heart of Nîmes old town, within easy walking distance of all the sites. We stayed in the Suite Georges, à total treat! Super high ceilings, terrace and sitting room. Loved the bed, the towels, the decor - top attention to detail. The staff were attentive and charming. A beautiful hotel for a special stay!

C'est plus avantageux de privilégier certains clients 😠😡 à chaque fois c'est les même un groupe qui picole
Expensive and quality of the meat could have been much better. The owner also kept talking to us in English even though we were speaking French. The vegetarian dishes were good, the lady that served us was very pleasant but a dish was forgotten and the bill was surprisingly inflated
Super pmu voisins leclerc donc grand parking avec patronne mignonne.
Not tasty satay sauce, small portions, vegitables under cooked, salty, more expensive than others in Strasbourg.

Nice and cheap place to drop by your friends and enjoy beers. People really commited to the clients and funny. You can stay inside or outside in a huge terrace. I pretty much enjoy the place. Bring cash, no cards allowed for payment.
Very friendly service and excellent food, perfect to share a meal for big groups!!

Elegant and sophisticated bar with prices to match. They very kindly split a salad for us, and we then felt happier to splurge on wine. Lovely selection- try the croze hermitage. Waitstaff very polite and friendly, too. Not your typical Parisian bar. Feels more like New York replete with smiling people and high ceilings.

Good place for take out. We went to pick up food late in the evening. Nice gentleman helped us out with the menu and prepared platters for us. Great service.

Small two people operation. The restaurant can accomodate no more than 15-20 patrons. This being said, it is a great place for asian food and off the beaten path in Montpellier. The owner/waiter is extremely helpful and nice. The prices are in within the norm for the area. Highly recommend the place.

Wonderful chef & cozy space & tasty food with reasonable price
The best and most delicious lebanese food you could find in Paris and indeed in Lebanon itself. It is run by the family owners themselves thus the warm and authentic atmosphere and top quality of food and service.

I would rate this home restaurant at 5/5 without hesitation.
I lived in Paris for a year and this was my regular restaurant, close to my house. The food is amazing, the price is good for an amazing quality and the people who own it are wonderful. Amazing taste of the Middle East. Every time I return to Paris, I go there and eat something. It's a must.

I am writing this review from the perspective of a foreigner who recently moved to france.

This is a great place to have a drink on the weekends. It is full of colour and charm, guaranteed to lift your spirits up. The drinks are much cheaper than other places, and it feels like you are part of the city instead of a tourist.
The place can get VERY busy and surprisingly loud for a place without bacround music, but it's part of the atmosphere.

This had is fab. Fun, welcoming staff, reasonably priced drinks and a laid back atmosphere.
A major plus is that there is never any trouble there. The team meticulously drive off pickpockets and other sundry scallywags.
Enjoy all year round, but shut on mondays I think.
