Le Germain

Terrible. My girlfriend and I went here for New Years Eve and paid €120 for 3 courses. We ordered salmon which was served with half a lime and 3 cold blinis, and then a ton of salmon without anything else, just dumped on the plate. The rest of the food was also served without any decency. We complained about the standard of the dishes and were met with an arrogant attitude as if they couldn’t do it differently - take it or leave it. Might be the worst restaurant we’ve ever experienced. Would never recommended anyone to go, and will definitely never come back.

This was one of the suggestions for my Birthday after the Crillon so I thought I’d check it out with a few friends beforehand. I’m so glad I did. I would definitely not recommend the place.

From the start the waitresses are very rude, they give off the « mean-girls-we’re-too-good-for-you » vibes. Even for Parisian levels, this was bad. One blond waitress would literally scorn and sigh in your face. It was very unprofessional. At one point I even asked her if something was wrong. We weren’t welcomed, we weren’t seated, we had to look for the barman ourselves.
The clientele is very Kardashian and overall early twenties.

At the end of the night, two people remained on our bill to pay, and we asked for a breakdown of what needed paying - the waitress got very aggressive as if asking for a receipt was a massive inconvenience to her and she actually told us it wasn’t possible. Again, unprofessional.

The two stars is because the decor is cute. It’s a shame there’s an attitude problem, they’ve lost huge business from me but somehow it’s the sort of conceited place, I don’t think they’d even care.

Stopped in for dinner. Had to move inside due to a short lived rain shower. The food was outstanding! I had the Salmon and my friend had the rigatoni. The service was poor in a country where food service is an art. We had to flag down a waitress for a second round of beers and I couldn't get second wine or any water. But the food was good.

So my friend and I decided to check out there area not expecting to spend more than one drink at the initial bar. Then we met Camille who made me the single best Expresso martini and Amaretto Sour I've had in my life. He was both friendly, spoke fluent English and was a reason to stay. One of the best bartenders in Europe IMO.

Pricey for similar selection elsewhere, but good food regardless; I had the burger and was impressed beyond what I would expect from any other burger in Paris (or even the states for that matter). The pasta with shaved truffle was exquisite as well. Seemed kind of dead at dinner time, but maybe it was just a slow night. Our waiter was excellent, professional, and very kind to us as well. Overall an exceptional Dining experience.

The staff was very friendly and the food was good. Green beans were a surprise hit with everyone, including two kids. We ate late night, and had carpaccio, sea bass and the pasta.

Impressive! Food, dessert, wine & atmosphere.
All impressionnant!!!
