La Fontaine de Jade sur Paris

06/04/2026: I chose this restaurant hoping to enjoy Chinese cuisine after spending several weeks in China: the experience was disappointing, especially with the €118 per person set menu. There weren't many Chinese dishes on the menu, and what was offered was rather bland and lacking in flavor (except for the pork dumpling). The service was decent and friendly, although the waiter tapped the back of my chair two or three times without apologizing or even noticing.

04/04/2026: Had such a fantastic meal here. There is such a flavour explosion in every single dish. Many of the dishes felt unique. They gave you many amuse-bouches on the house to start the meal which were all delicious. These plus the appetizers were the stars of the show. Staff are super nice but there was a 40 min gap in the service at one point which was unfortunate. Otherwise the pacing was great. Food can’t be faulted though, was a special meal. Would come back again and again.
