Le B sur Belleville

We went in August to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and I must say that choosing a really good Michelin one-star restaurant is not always easy. There are so many options in Paris, and we have sometimes ended up in very fancy places serving rather insipid broths and food that, ultimately, was nothing particularly memorable. This time, we were not disappointed: we loved Nhome. I loved the setting: one single square table shared by all the guests, which naturally limits the number of people and makes the whole experience feel quite intimate and special. Most importantly, the food was genuinely full of flavour. You could really taste the ingredients and the different flavours in each dish. We also loved the fact that they showed us some of the ingredients beforehand — sunflowers, beans, etc. — which made the experience even more interesting. Overall, we had a wonderful evening and felt that the experience was absolutely worth it. My only downside was the hygiene aspect. I know that hair coverings are not compulsory in restaurants in France, but I personally think that kitchen staff with long hair should wear one. I understand that the cooking team also comes to the table to present the dishes, but I really think you can have both: a great experience and great hygiene that reassures the customer. I am really scare with hair due to several experiences.

A wonderful discovery at NHOMe! ⭐️ We had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Overall, everything was delicious, with beautiful flavor combinations and perfectly executed cooking. We were particularly impressed by the eel, which was truly excellent, and especially by the blue lobster: incredible! It was cooked to perfection, the meat tender and flavorful. These were definitely the two dishes that stood out the most. We also really appreciated the concept and the presentation of the dishes. The chefs take the time to present and explain the dishes, which makes the experience even more engaging. Special mention goes to Chef Matan Zaken, who was very welcoming, friendly, and approachable. You can really feel his passion, and it was a pleasure to chat with him. The only slight disappointment was the service. For a restaurant of this caliber and with a Michelin star, we expected a bit more attention to detail. When we asked the waitress, who was in charge of bread and water, a few questions, she unfortunately seemed unfamiliar with some of the information. For example, we asked two or three times if the restaurant offered cocktails, but she simply handed us the menu of non-alcoholic drinks without really answering our question. Similarly, when we asked her for details about some of the drinks on the menu, she couldn't provide any information. It's a shame because this slight lack of expertise contrasts sharply with the quality of the food and the very professional explanations given by the chefs. Nevertheless, it remains a very enjoyable gastronomic experience, with creative cuisine and remarkably well-prepared ingredients.

A truly exceptional and wonderful evening at Nhome! The cuisine was outstanding – creative, surprising, and of a very high standard. Every course was carefully composed and presented, and the entire evening felt less like a typical restaurant visit and more like a special culinary experience. I would particularly like to highlight the concept of the large communal table. I simply cannot understand some of the more critical reviews that criticize this aspect. Of course, it's important to know that at Nhome you don't sit at traditional individual tables – but for me, this was a key part of the evening's charm. I had wonderful and exceptionally pleasant conversations with other guests whom I otherwise would never have met. The atmosphere was by no means intrusive or hectic, but rather relaxed, convivial, and very enjoyable. The communal table transforms an already excellent dinner into a special, almost shared experience. The wine pairings were also fantastic. It was surprisingly different from the classic wine pairings one finds in many fine-dining restaurants: excitingly selected, sometimes unexpected, and perfectly matched to each course. This somewhat unconventional selection, in particular, suited the entire concept of Nhome very well for me. The service also contributed significantly to this successful evening: attentive, friendly, and professional, without being stiff. For me, Nhome was not only culinarily outstanding, but the overall experience was truly special. Those solely seeking a secluded table for two will certainly find other restaurants in Paris. However, those who embrace Nhome's unique concept can experience a truly unforgettable evening. I would return in a heartbeat. A definite recommendation!

The setting, atmosphere, and food were incredible. A shared table with a set menu and enthusiastic, passionate chefs who take pride in presenting each of their signature dishes and plating them at the table. However, there was a major drawback: the quality of service spoiled the experience. It's unfortunate, but in this type of restaurant, one expects quality service. Here, the water wasn't replenished regularly (my partner and I had to refill it ourselves), and the waiter strongly insisted we order alcohol even though I made it clear we didn't want to drink. He persisted several times, suggesting we "start with something festive, like champagne," then a "very light wine." The second waiter offered to bring me more butter and bread—a thoughtful gesture—but I had to ask the other waiter since neither of them ever arrived. To top it all off, when the waiter brought the new knives, he hit my partner on the head with the handle. After that, when it came time to pay the bill, the waiter insisted on the tip being "at your discretion," which, of course, he didn't receive. We always leave a tip, but this was really excessive. With that, the waiter escorted us out, saying, "You're leaving with the madeleines anyway," with all the innuendo you can imagine. I've never felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant like this. Just because you don't order alcohol or pay extra doesn't mean you should be treated differently. It's a shame because the dishes are exquisite and original (peppers, eel, lobster, herb granita, oysters…) and the chefs are lovely.

Incredible! This meal felt almost unreal. The cuisine was exquisite, an explosion of flavors and textures. Chef Matan Zaken's influences range from the Middle East and Asia. The wine pairings were perfectly coordinated with each course and of excellent quality. Thank you to Alexandre for educating us about his wines, and thank you to Jade for her impeccable service and ever-present smile. What an evening! I loved it! 🤩

It's been a year since I went and I still think about it. A memorable evening. I live in Quebec and I swear I'll go back.

Truly creative cuisine. Delicious. Superb service, very friendly and unpretentious. Not to be missed.

First of all, thank you for this warm moment shared with my loved ones and with you. And yes! A gourmet restaurant with genuine warmth. From the welcome, the servers, the sommelier, the pastry chef, the cooks, and the head chef, we (the entire table) felt the same warmth and perceived undeniable professionalism. The beautiful decor of the dining room, the cutlery, the plates (very original, even), and the glasses is truly appreciated. The technical skill of the dishes is beyond praise, as so many others have already demonstrated, and the Michelin star only confirms the finesse of the dishes we enjoyed so much. All in all, a huge congratulations; we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves from beginning to end. The wine we drank was excellent. To give you a little taste of the kindness we experienced during our visit, we asked a question that might seem naive: "Chef, how can you recognize good caviar?" After providing a clear explanation, he didn't hesitate to offer us a tasting, and then, a generous spoonful of caviar was placed in the palm of each guest's hand. And mmm! It was delicious. Whereas before, I'd never enjoyed caviar. For that, a huge thank you. We felt that this restaurant has a soul.

Everything was perfect, absolutely top-notch. The welcome and the entire team were outstanding, flawless. From the architecture to the tableware, even the music in the dining room… truly. And of course, the food was incredible, with amazing flavors. I will be back. Thank you, Chef, and thank you to everyone.

Wonderful restaurant! The chef and staff were very attentive! Truly exceptional.
