The experience was delightful. The ambiance of the place is great, intimate and warm. I went with a friend on a Tuesday night and the small place was not full. The waitress there took care of all of us and gave us great service while also chatting with us. All the patrons were respectful and friendly and given the size of the place that is a great answer. The food excellent and beautifully presented, especially the dessert. The food is very French and I loved it. A beautiful place to retreat to and enjoy a nice dining experience.
This place is a hidden gem in the 17th. The food and ambiance are top notch. Small and cozy. This one star Michelin restaurant rivals many 2 and 3 star establishments that we have visited. And the price is very reasonable. Tonight we had a delicious 6 course meal plus an amuse bouche for only 75.00. Every course was a treat. This place is not to be missed. It’s hands down our favourite Paris resto - and has been for the past 10 years.
A special place. A small quiet restaurant in a lovely area. The food was original and superb. Husband and wife team with great effect. Should be 2 Michelin stars.
A secluded corner in the hustle and bustle city life. Penny-worth cuisines and cordial service. I would definitely like to come back to try more Cher’s master cooking and the genial service.
Excellent value/quality! At least a 1-star Michelin which is not overpriced.. and not to worry the food is really good. Artfully built plenty of perfume dishes, elegant in the palet and just the right size in the plate. The food is French, not too overworked or deconstructed, think more of a much more modernized version of classical and family dishes. The style of the room is a little bit the same, simple, not overworked, yet classy. One of my go-tos for every occasion, you'll not regret it, unless you are a snob :)
I visited "La Fourchette du Printemps" in February and June 2015. At the time the place used to be a gourmet restaurant and I found it very good.There is a counter in the entrance area of the restaurant. On the narrow side of this counter is a tiny door through which members of the team can climb backwards over a ladder or a very steep staircase into a cellar to fetch wines from there. I have watched this delicate operation several times during my visits.The small restaurant was not so easy to reach for tourists at the time, as it is located a little away from the center and also a little away from a metro station. But I suspect that things have gotten better with today's improved public transportation services.13319
Super fab placeBooked this place in last minutes and not disappointed at all. Super cute restaurant with perfect service and delicious food. I have never been in Michelin restaurants before but it was unreal experience. The lady who met us at the entrance was really professional and involved in her business. She provided amazing service and a nice atmosphere, was very attentive to details and looked after us all the time. The food was incredible, the chef Nicolas was really nice and shy, his food ideas and presentation are simply amazing. I’m still fully shocked about one of the starter and dessert, I’m really a big fan of the asparagus but I have never tried smth that simply and the same time good in my life. I still can feel the taste in my mouth, this dish was extremely simple but absolutely fabulous. And the dessert with the sphere was very beautiful, it’s good, impressive show for lovers of beautiful presentation. I was pleasantly surprised and definitely recommend to visit this place. Absolutely needs a second star.
Very good and creative food with fresh products, great service. It is advised to make a reservation before, and plan for a delicate 2 / 3 hour meal :)
