Semilla sur Paris

Excellent meal with well-crafted dishes and service that is both relaxed and professional. Beautiful establishment in the heart of Saint Germain des Prés.

Amazing! One of the best meals we had in Paris, and so very reasonably priced for their five course with or without wine pairings, or set menu options of which you could do starter/main €55, main/dessert €55, or starter/main/dessert €65. As the menu probably changes here and there dependent on season and what’s in season (like peas now in spring,) just know that the food was delicate and delicious. Service was equally lovely. Staff explained the dishes as they came out. Bread was even given its own little holder when the table was too full with food. They have a sommelier (OK, I know it’s Paris, but still!) and he’ll walk you through their offerings. Make that reservation. We just got lucky with an early walk-in for dinner (7:30pm).

I really cannot say enough fantastic things about this restaurant! It's a charming little part of town, the buildings and the area are just lovely, and the people working in the restaurant are so kind and attentive. Food was equally brilliant - the scallop, the soup, just beautiful starters! Mains - the lamb and the duck! Perfectly presented, beautifully cooked, I could eat this every day (but then I would definitely need to buy bigger pants, even with all the walking around in Paris)... The lemon tart and the ice cream to finish it off. Yes, I'll take another please :)

Superb! We were a group for a special occasion so had the set menu and it was so wonderful and memorable. Thank you to the great staff who explained each dish to us, suggested the excellent - and not expensive - wine. The food was wonderful. Apologies for not having a photo of dessert - crepes Suzette- they were too delicious. Thanks also to the head chef who came and said hello to us after our meal. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Excellent cuisine! What a pleasure...

The food here, to put it simply, was boring. The most interesting dish was the Jerusalem artichoke, cooked in a risotto style - nice flavors! The sashimi starter was also well made, although to be fair, the lions share of the flavor was just the raw fish. The mains were uninspiring. We had the duck and the fish. It tasted nice, and was cooked well. But there was little imagination or complexity of flavor - well cooked duck, in a nice tasting brown sauce, and white fish in a white sauce.

We can say it to ourselves, straightforwardly: It’s good, and good. Very good even. Very pleasant team, efficient sommelier, beautiful wine list: Great dinner. On the other hand, the reservation process involves border control, notifications of confirmation requests and reservation reminders border on harassment and, quite frankly, make you want to cancel as quickly as possible. Some people's lack of know-how must not become the excuse for a process at the limit of knowing how to receive. Add to this the application of the "American" method of adding tips (10/15/20%) on the credit card machine, we border on a lack of "French" way of life. So honestly it's good, good, nice, but I'm not sure I would recommend it, nor would I come back because of all that. Going to dinner should remain something pleasant and simple.

Maybe it was an off night but we were unimpressed. The food was good, not great. Service, while friendly, was disjointed, inattentive, and slow. Servers lacked leadership and direction. We loved every other restaurant we went to in Paris, but here. As an update - the general manager did reach out and apologize and agreed that it was an off night. Her response was thoughtful and would help me to try it again should we find ourselves in Paris in the near future.

The food was just ok - my friend and I got the same meal and hers was cooked perfectly while mine was overcooked. No offer for a free drink, dessert, etc to comp the meal I barely touched. The waitstaff are friendly but there are not enough people - long stretches with no one coming by. Overhyped

Incredible tasting menu and wine pairing! A meal to remember!
