Les meilleurs restaurants en Essonne

06/09/2026: I came on September 3rd expecting fast food. It was anything but! It took 40 minutes to get my order... and loads of other customers were leaving before me. I ordered three regular meals and one Happy Meal. When I got home, my son's toy was missing. I do not recommend this McDonald's! They offered no compensation for the wait.

06/09/2026: I only go to McDonald's once every four years, and apparently, that's already too much! This Sunday, passing through Étampes, we were looking for a place to grab a coffee. We stopped at McDonald's since it was close to the N20 highway entrance. We ordered two iced Americanos (with macarons). Nothing special... at first glance! When our order arrived, there wasn't a single ice cube in the cups. They were so warm that we were convinced they'd mixed up our table and/or order. A woman in the dining room came over to our table and asked us what was wrong. We explained that we had ordered iced Americanos and that there must be a mistake with the order. She didn't seem to understand, took the tray back, and returned it a minute later, telling us that her colleague had added ice cubes. To be perfectly honest, I think the tray just went back and forth. Still no ice and the drink was still piping hot. It was surreal! We decided to give up. Besides, the coffees they served were really bad. We left them... In short, what we were served bore no resemblance to what was advertised on the ordering kiosks! See you in four years... or maybe not!

15/07/2026: Disregarding the "STOP PUB" sticker for their flyers, which were thrown into all the mailboxes in the neighborhood.

12/07/2026: Disregards "no junk mail" signs and pollutes people's mailboxes.

18/10/2026: I'm very disappointed by this experience, especially since I've been a customer of this pizzeria for a long time. My family and I used to order from them regularly, and I've even placed several orders for clients at the establishment where I work. Today, I was extremely disappointed: I placed an order, clearly specifying the hotel's name. I was at the reception desk throughout the delivery, but the driver didn't even enter the establishment! In the end, I was told he'd left... Unbelievable! I won't be ordering from them again and I'll be using a more reliable place from now on.

09/10/2026: This is the worst restaurant in the world. I've never had a decent couscous, but I've never found anything like it. I tried a kbeb, and it was truly awful—avoid it!

08/09/2026: The manager greeted us coldly, not a smile, and the waitress barely spoke French. I ordered spring rolls, but they served me egg rolls instead. I refused my starter, and the manager insisted, telling me I was mistaken. She should have accepted her error, so she left, disgruntled, and I was served 15 minutes later. The chicken with pineapple was tasteless. What a decline! This restaurant used to be a benchmark.

31/07/2026: Ordered via Deliveroo, an hour after it was supposed to be ready, the order hadn't been shipped. It was left in warm containers and a bag. When we called, we were spoken to like dogs by what seemed to be the owner, more like the brothel owner, judging by her manner of speaking. Everything arrived cold and unfit for consumption. Everything ended up in the trash as soon as we opened the first container because of the smell. I think the health inspectors should pay a visit to this so-called restaurant, given the various reviews. For me, at least, this is the one and last time they'll ever see my money.

06/09/2026: A very disappointing experience, demonstrating a serious lack of organization and professionalism. We had already dined at this restaurant once before and found the food excellent, despite a particularly long wait. It was precisely because we had such fond memories of the meal that we decided to return today, this time with friends. I had called the day before to reserve a table for 1 p.m. The person I spoke to said "1 p.m./2 p.m." Having run late on the day, I took the trouble to call the restaurant again to let them know that we would be arriving around 2 p.m. rather than 1 p.m. (even though I had been given to understand that it was possible to arrive as late as 2 p.m. the day before). The phone conversation was quite complicated (the person I spoke to that day didn't seem to speak French very well, nor did they seem to understand it), and I had to repeat my request several times, but I was finally told there was no problem with 2 pm. So we arrived at 2 pm: the restaurant was completely empty and there was no one to greet us. We waited 5 minutes at the entrance. After announcing our presence several times, a man finally came out of the kitchen. We explained that we had a reservation, and he then informed us that the restaurant was actually closed and didn't open until 3 pm. This was completely baffling, since the hours listed on Google indicated an opening time of 1 pm, a 1 pm reservation had been accepted the day before, and, most importantly, I had called back that same day to reschedule our arrival for 2 pm without anyone telling me the restaurant would be closed. The man then told us, several times, "Normally it's closed, but it doesn't matter, you're already here, make yourselves comfortable." Except that, in fact, we weren't "already here" by chance. We were there because we had made a reservation and because our 2 p.m. arrival had been confirmed by phone. We even asked him several times if he was sure he wanted to seat us, specifying that if they were truly closed, we would rather leave than be a bother. Despite his "it doesn't matter," his welcome was particularly cold, and the way the situation was presented to us clearly gave us the feeling that our presence was inconvenient and that we were almost being done a favor by being seated. So we decided to leave. What's a shame is that we had come back precisely because we had found the food very good the first time. Unfortunately, between the already significant wait during our first visit and this second experience marked by a real problem with organization, communication, and customer service, we have absolutely no desire to return. A mistake with the time can happen. A misunderstanding too. But when a customer makes a reservation, calls back on the day to change their arrival time, and receives confirmation, they shouldn't discover upon arrival that the establishment is supposed to be closed and then feel like they're bothering them. In these cases, don't accept the reservation. We are committed to supporting businesses and entrepreneurs from the diaspora, and we are always happy to recommend good places in our area. But this support shouldn't prevent us from recognizing when there is a real lack of seriousness and professionalism. It becomes difficult, unfortunately, to support and recommend an establishment when the customer experience is so neglected. This review is therefore intended to be constructive. This restaurant has one real strength: its cuisine, which we found excellent during our first visit. It is precisely for this reason that I find it regrettable that an establishment with such potential can be hampered by organizational, communication and reception problems which are perfectly avoidable.

17/08/2026: The same old problem persists in our African restaurants: the customer experience. You can post all the beautiful photos you want on Instagram, but if you don't respect your customers' time, you won't build loyalty or be able to grow your business. It's a very promising project, and the diverse menu is certainly appreciated, but waiting an hour for each course is outrageous, with no apology whatsoever. Also, chikwangue is the equivalent of bread in French restaurants: why do you charge extra for it? It's a shame because there's been absolutely no improvement since my first visit in 2021. It's as if you're not even trying to succeed, or your pride prevents you from understanding that there's a serious lack of consideration. It's a shame because you could have contributed to the growth and expansion of REAL African cuisine in France, but no, we wonder what you really want. In short, it needs improvement; I won't be returning to avoid being disappointed again.

29/07/2026: This pizzeria isn't all that great, the food isn't terrible, but it's not great either (for what it is). My mom and I were really disappointed with the fries in the My Domino's Box. So disappointing that we didn't even eat them. Before, the fries had spices on them and were cooked properly, now they're just undercooked. In short, it's just disappointing.

07/04/2026: If I could give zero or even double zero, I would. The person on the phone hung up on me when I explained that the delivery driver hadn't arrived, but before that, they politely told me to sort it out myself. Not to mention the number of times delivery drivers refuse to come up to the door even when we order home delivery (I live on the first floor, please make the effort).

25/09/2026: Since I work right next door, I order regularly (at least twice a week), and my niece, who goes to high school nearby, has made it her go-to spot, LOL. The food is good, and for the record, I've never gotten sick. I have trouble understanding the negative comments. Anyway, I highly recommend it.

06/08/2026: The kebab is good but not very full. The homemade white sauce is good. It saves the day at lunchtime.

02/09/2026: Today I went to this bakery... once again, I thought to myself, after hygiene, it's the accounting... A menu shows the price... I pointed out to the cashier that the price wasn't correct, that it was one euro more... she explained why, I said okay, but even so, it was still one euro more expensive... she asked me to pay... I didn't want to make a fuss, but I want to say please, managers, do something about all the complaints, please. Thank you.

18/08/2026: It's true that this Paul in the VDB shopping center could use a refresh; it's getting a bit shabby, especially the tables. The staff don't come around very often to clean them, but to be fair, people aren't very respectful of the place—some don't even clear their trays. Otherwise, the breakfast was decent, still a bit pricey, but that's the case with all Pauls, and this one is in a shopping center, so the prices are a bit lower than at a Paul in a dedicated shop in the city center.

08/11/2026: A very positive experience at the McDonald's in Morangis! We were served at the drive-thru by a truly kind, smiling, and pleasant person. It's always nice to encounter someone so friendly, as it makes the experience much more enjoyable. The service was efficient and everything went very smoothly. A big thank you to this person for their warm welcome and kindness; it's exactly the kind of service that makes you want to come back!

30/10/2026: Way too long a wait, plus the poorly prepared sandwiches and half-hot fries – a disaster!

26/10/2026: It's been several weeks since there was any gas in the machines, and they keep saying that if there is... it's really bad. The service is deplorable. The potatoes are green, the steaks are black, and they're haphazardly assembled. Not to mention they forgot the nuggets again...

20/10/2026: Far too many incomplete orders at the Drive-Thru. If it were rare, I wouldn't mind, but honestly, it's constant. A Happy Meal toy was missing, noticed while I was there, and when I got home, the fries from a meal were also missing, and I only had 8 nuggets instead of the 9 I paid for. Basically, at the Drive-Thru, you have to check everything every single time, it's annoying, and on top of that, you pay for things you don't even get...

11/04/2026: The loaves of bread I wanted to buy were placed next to a cleaning cloth, which doesn't inspire confidence in terms of hygiene. Furthermore, the service was lacking. A disappointing experience.

31/03/2026: I highly recommend their sandwiches and their lunch special, which are very reasonably priced. The baker was lovely, and the opening hours are particularly convenient for travelers waiting for their connecting train at the nearby station.

01/11/2026: Long, noisy, and depressing inside. Doesn't make you want to go back. First experience, and nothing special. Not that the kids loved it, but it's definitely not worth going back to.

20/09/2026: Always satisfied with my tacos, I recommend them!

10/07/2026: Friendly staff and excellent service. :) It's a shame, however, that they don't accept restaurant cards, especially considering the prices.

24/04/2026: Breakfast: no savory options, no bread, frozen pastries… all at Ladurée prices. Avoid at all costs! Go to Paul's!
