L'Epicure sur Paris

Pinnacle of Haute French. Amazing experience. The food is innovative and sauce is terrific. A lot of attention to flavor details and combinations you can really feel the chef putting in a lot of effort to adjust them. Techniques are impeccable. Less salty than traditional French, feels lively and has some acidity or spiciness whenever it fits. Quite amazing experience even after visiting many many Michelin stars

Impeccable food, service and atmosphere. Each dish is full of taste and precision, meticulously prepared and executed with elegance in taste. Other three star restaurants have dishes that compete with each other, but here, the chef paints a story, with a beginning, crescendo, climax and an ending, all in a very comprehensive way. The pigeon was so perfectly prepared and paired that the only way to describe it is that we tasted what was described at the restaurant scene in Matrix 2, ( if you know, you know). The wine pairing not only elevated each dish, but made each one complete. We look forward to returning soon!

A fantastic team, experience, welcome, and attention to detail! The excellence of French gastronomy; from the dishes to the tableware, the setting, the service, the welcome... everything is superbly orchestrated, and the special care given to guests is exceptional. A huge thank you to Faustine, Celia, Chef Maxence Barbot, and his entire team—the cooks, the servers, all the staff... every note of the orchestra is played to perfection. I must also highlight the outstanding contribution Chef Barbot makes to his desserts. Having a sweet tooth, I am completely captivated by the performances he and his team deliver to this restaurant and its guests. I was already familiar with the Chef before Le Bristol, and it's a pleasure to rediscover him in a 3-Michelin-starred setting, especially at Le Bristol, where the attention to guests is truly exceptional!

An unforgettable experience. The food, the setting, not to mention the service, everything was exceptional.

10/10, a superb culinary experience; the 3 stars are well deserved. We opted for the tasting menu, which was perfect from start to finish, with a special mention for the turbot. It would be great to have a 6-course option instead of 8 for those with smaller appetites!

Great experience. Staff were lovely and recommended some amazing wine and cheese. The food was incredible - I have to say the vanilla ice cream for dessert was one of the best dishes I have ever had. Also accommodating for switching out a dish on the tasting menu based on our preferences, which was much appreciated. Couldn’t recommend more…

5/5 (lunch, July 7th) An exceptional dining experience in one of the most beautiful dining rooms in Paris. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was breathtaking. The elegant dining room, with its refined blue and purple floral arrangements, felt grand yet intimate—a perfect setting for a memorable meal. We decided to try every appetizer on the menu, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the lunch - Every single starter was outstanding. Even the complimentary amuse-bouches immediately awakened our palate. The crab appetizer was incredibly fresh, light and delicate, allowing the natural sweetness and texture of the crab to shine. The mackerel with caviar was beautifully balanced, while the lobster dish showcased the remarkable quality of the seafood with flawless execution. One of the surprises was the “risotto.” Instead of rice, it was a creative interpretation built around generous amounts of black truffle. Rich, intensely savory and wonderfully aromatic, it was one of the most memorable dishes of the meal. For the main courses, we chose the red mullet and the lamb. Both were beautifully cooked, and the sauces were everything you would hope for in classic French haute cuisine—deep, elegant and perfectly matched to the ingredients without overwhelming them. Service throughout the lunch was polished, attentive and effortlessly professional. Every detail reflected the standards expected from one of Paris’ most iconic restaurants. Epicure celebrates the timeless beauty of French gastronomy. Rather than trying to surprise with unusual combinations, it perfects the classics with extraordinary ingredients, impeccable technique and remarkable consistency. It is a restaurant we would gladly return to.

We visited this place yesterday, choosing the restaurant based on reviews. From the moment you step inside, you feel welcome. Amazing service, excellent recommendations, a cozy atmosphere, and a breathtaking view of the garden. The only downside was the food; it was impeccable, but we realized we'd missed the boat 😂 Average bill: 1000+ euros per dinner. Thank you so much to the restaurant for their attention and impeccable service ♥️

The service was underwhelming; I felt it was rather poor, just typical French service. One staff member, because they told me that in France you definitely have to drink French wine, refused to answer my question about Super Tuscan, which left me completely bewildered. The food was alright, very traditional French cuisine, not quite to my taste, but still better than Perse. The most famous dish, the chicken bladder, was just like any other roast chicken, relying mainly on the sauce. The sweet bread was almost too cloying. The desserts were mediocre; the complimentary chocolates weren't as amazing as Jean George or Gabriel Kreuther. The wine selection was excellent, a plus! Ordering by the glass was a pleasant experience.

An absolutely exceptional experience. I have been coming to Epicure at the Bristol for several years, and with each visit, the level of excellence remains simply breathtaking. It's a restaurant where nothing is left to chance: the welcome, the service, the attention to the smallest details, and, of course, the cuisine. Each dish is a true masterpiece, as beautiful as it is delicious. The ingredients are of remarkable quality, the flavor combinations are perfectly mastered, and each plate evokes genuine emotion. You can feel the passion and expertise of the entire team. The service is impeccable: warm, elegant, professional, and always incredibly attentive. You feel valued and welcomed like a privileged guest every time you visit. The atmosphere is refined, soothing, and timeless. It's a place where you take the time to savor every moment and create wonderful memories. Thank you to the entire team for these exceptional moments. In my eyes, L’Épicure remains one of the finest restaurants in Paris, and I will always take great pleasure in returning there.
