Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Metz

09/12/2025: What a fantastic find! It was my first time at this restaurant and honestly, I loved it! The food is excellent, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I highly recommend it!

30/11/2025: La Popote is a restaurant everyone in Metz knows, and rightly so. Having tried it twice already, there's no doubt about it: it's the best restaurant in Metz if you enjoy old-fashioned bistro fare. The service is quick, yet the servers still have time to chat, joke, and ask questions. The food is high-quality, well-balanced, and reasonably priced. The dishes are classic but often given a modern twist, always maintaining a perfect balance. Of course, the atmosphere is that of a small, intimate restaurant where you shouldn't be afraid of conversation, but this only reinforces the "old-fashioned bistro" feel.

12/12/2025: In my opinion, this is one of the best restaurants in Metz! Everything is there for a perfect experience: an ideal location with a magnificent view, dishes always prepared exactly as requested, served hot, and of consistent quality. The service is impeccable: the team is incredibly attentive and always smiling, which is becoming rare these days. You can tell they truly understand how to run a successful restaurant. I'm always delighted to go there when I'm in Metz, and I highly recommend this place. Keep up the good work; it's a real pleasure!

11/12/2025: Beautiful setting and the meal was good. I recommend it.

08/09/2024: Repas du midi à deux, le cadre et le local sont un peu en-dessous de ce que devrait proposer un restaurant qui se veut dans cette tranche de prix (85€ à deux, menu entrée/plat/dessert sans alcool) La cuisine : excellente et qualitative, 90% des produits viennent des environs et c'est très bien. Les plats sont beaux et bons (dos de cabillaud et tempura de legumes, cheesecake de legumes et crevetes et fondant au chocolat), les desserts sont d'ailleurs massifs. Bref on y mange très bien ! Le service : beaucoup d'incompréhensions avce le serveur quand nous l'avons questionné sur les plats mais très gentil et souriant. Attention, ça a traîné un peu en longueur pour prendre notre commande et servir les premiers plats L'ambiance : dommage que ce soit ce local que vous ayez pour votre cuisine, il est petit et c'était assez bruyant le jour de notre repas. S'il vous plaît, enlevez la table à l'entrée ce n'est pas du tout agréable d'être dans le passage des va-et-vient Restaurant de qualité qui gagnerait à être dans un endroit un peu plus grand ou qui devrait refaire le plan de table et la salle car il y a matière à en faire une très belle adresse !

12/08/2024: The owner (who we disturbed enjoying a brief break between the end of his prep and the start of service) managed to accomodate us at no notice, and we are so glad that he did! The food was simply amazing (we had the pig's trotters/ scallops to start and both opted for the truffled chicken, as part of the brilliant value fixed-price menu (which also included a cheese course and desert, as well as an amuse bouche). This was the final meal of our holiday, having eaten at various places in France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland and it was by far the best. The waiting staff were helpful and just-the-right-amount of attentive. As a small chef-owned place, the quality and care shine through. We'll be back the next time we are in Metz, don't miss the chance if you're planning to be there!

09/12/2025: First, there's the warm and friendly welcome, and it's absolutely perfect. Then comes the relaxed atmosphere, which is a success; you immediately feel at ease. And what about the food? It's perfect from appetizer to dessert. The portions are generous with every course, and the gentleman who brings the plates is very friendly. A wonderful discovery in the heart of Metz. A truly lovely memory.

03/07/2025: The lovely waitress at Loulou was incredibly kind and patient with my family when our inability to speak any passable French threatened to complicate the evening. I ordered the seared tuna and it was fantastic, the service was great, and the restaurant is in a perfect location nearly under the grand cathedral's shadow.

10/07/2025: Everything is mastered and impeccable. The young woman who served us was very kind and pleasant!

06/07/2025: A must-visit restaurant Service full of pep Refined cuisine

08/12/2025: We had a wonderful time. The setting is beautifully decorated, and the staff are very helpful and friendly, especially considering we came on a Sunday lunchtime during the Saint Nicholas weekend when it was extremely busy. A great, responsive team—your boss must be proud of you for managing stress so well. There was little waiting and the service was impeccable. Well done! And the food was top-notch, made with excellent ingredients.

07/12/2025: Respect to the front-of-house and kitchen staff for their professionalism and their kind and dedicated nature. First visit to this restaurant during the Christmas market festivities. We noticed a huge influx of customers, and despite the challenging circumstances, we were welcomed with a level of commitment that commands respect. The meal was delicious and generous, with very large and high-quality portions. Highly recommended!

16/12/2024: Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. On such a cold day, the lentil soup was perfect to calm the chill. Enjoyed the koufta and the vegetable medley. Owner and chef was a delight. Looking for a great meal, stop on by.

25/11/2024: A charming restaurant. The dishes are tasty and the service is most pleasant.

15/09/2024: The best restaurant in Moselle, in my opinion, for years. It's faultless, every time, from starter to dessert including the attentive and impeccable service. A real treat for our taste buds and a place of sharing where we feel good. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

04/09/2024: Very fine little restaurant 3 course menu for 58. everything lovingly and deliciously prepared. 4 small intermediate courses without charge. Plus a great wine. Thanks for the perfect evening

07/12/2025: We had lunch here with my husband and two children during a visit to Metz. We received a very warm welcome and the waiters were friendly. The menu was varied, and all the products were sourced from local producers. The ribeye steak was the best I've had in a long time in a restaurant—perfectly cooked. The revisited steak tartare was delicious, and the burgers were generous. The desserts are a real highlight, with many homemade options! The tarte Tatin was delicious, and the little pistachio and raspberry financiers were equally delightful. We highly recommend it!

02/12/2025: Very good brasserie and friendly service

29/08/2024: With more than 900 reviews, we let ourselves be tempted and we were not disappointed🤯 Welcomed warmly and with a smile by the manager, it seems, we took our place in a warm and soothing atmosphere.😇 The map offered is short, which is often correlated with good quality. There were 2 of us and we were seduced by the entrecôte served with fries (homemade), and the duck breast served with potatoes (also homemade) Everything was really very good. 😋 The price seems fair for the quantities and quality (around 25/30 euros per dish). I recommend if you want to eat in a typically French restaurant and want to enjoy yourself🤗😋

22/08/2024: First visit to this restaurant and we found our dishes delicious. Very pleasant atmosphere and service.

16/09/2024: Really loved the kitchen, the service and the quality of the dishes

05/09/2024: Top In the Top 3 of the city Generous, exquisite The meats and fish are of first choice Divine desserts More than conclusive
