Frog XVI sur Paris

19/04/2026: We celebrated a birthday with a group of 10 people. We had a wonderful time in the wine cellar; the food was delicious and reasonably priced, and Natalia was very welcoming. A big thank you!

18/04/2026: Finally, a truly authentic Sicilian restaurant in Paris! Being Sicilian myself, I've spent a fair amount of time in the region, and this restaurant truly does justice to its cuisine, and more generally, to Italian food. The dishes were all very good and in generous portions, including an excellent sfincione. The Margherita was really good, and the topped focaccias were bursting with flavor! On that point, no complaints whatsoever. The tiramisu and ice cream were also excellent. In terms of value for money, €160 for four people, including drinks for everything we ordered (plus antipasti and small tasting plates—this concept of small plates is a real plus because it allows you to try a lot of things!), places it among the best Italian restaurants in terms of quality/price ratio. As for the atmosphere and service, there are many positive points. The place is charming, the tables are large, and you don't feel cramped. The atmosphere was lively, which meant it was quite noisy, but that's not surprising for a Sicilian restaurant. It was sometimes difficult to hear each other, but you can't always control the noise others are making, so it wasn't too bothersome in the end. The service was excellent! All the servers spoke Italian and were professional. They were friendly, kept the conversation going, and even the chef came to chat with us, which was a nice touch. The only slight drawback was the long wait to be served (over an hour, including antipasti and main courses), but this could have been due to the large tables there that evening, making organization a bit complicated. Therefore, I won't hold this minor inconvenience against them, as the service seemed very efficient overall. In short, a very pleasant evening enhanced by authentic flavors and a lively, welcoming atmosphere! We'll be back!
