Caché

Mixed Feelings at a Charming Venue My recent dining experience at a lovely venue in France left me with mixed feelings. The restaurant had a welcoming ambiance with lovely vibes, and the food was notably fresh and well presented. The menu options were diverse and appealing, offering a range of tempting choices to explore. Additionally, the drinks were a highlight, with a selection that was described as "super cool." However, my enthusiasm waned a bit when it came to the pastry dishes. Unfortunately, they did not meet the same high standard set by the other dishes. This discrepancy was a disappointment, as I had high expectations based on the rest of the menu. While the atmosphere at the restaurant was pleasant, it didn't stand out as anything particularly special. The private dining area, where I spent my time, was cozy but overly small, making it difficult to move around comfortably. This aspect detracted from the overall dining experience and left me feeling slightly constrained. Despite these shortcomings, I did have a good time overall at the restaurant. The positives, such as the fresh food, well-presented dishes, and cool drink selection, balanced out some of the less impressive aspects of the experience. With a few adjustments, particularly in the pastry department and the layout of the private dining area, this venue has the potential to elevate its dining experience to a consistently exceptional level.

The food. The service. The place. All perfect. They use excellent ingredients, hence the price: We paid about 100€ per person. Not the place you go to every day, but definitely where you go to impress your guests.

If you like seafood and enough space to sit, this restaurant is a great choice, but be sure to make a reservation in advance. As a resident of Paris, I would like my shoulders not to rub against the shoulders of the side table sometimes when eating or drinking in cafes and restaurants! The staff are very well-behaved, the atmosphere is modern and different from the stereotype of French restaurants, and the food is of very high quality. I just wish more quality and creative starters would be offered.

Amazing dinner! All the dishes were amazing, desserts to die for! Cocktails were very good too!! Highly recommend!

Why oh why can't I put 6 stars. This aptly named restaurant ("Hidden") is one of my best discoveries since Mory Sacko in Paris and Senor Uhva in Lisbon. This seafood place aced every aspect of our experience : - relaxed, fun, helpful, super knowledgeable staff ; - a top notch wine list not solely focused on French wines (ours was a Czech beauty), cocktails also on point ; - food that is creative, surprising, fresh, admirably executed, with honorable portions ; - a setting that is cosy yet just lively enough with chill music ; - and did I mention the food was amazing?? Still drooling over that raw sériole with what looked like mayo but NO it was white asparagus blitzed with other delicacies that I won't spoil!! TL;DR : can't wait to go again. It's not on the cheap side, but definitely worth every penny, and I don't say this lightly.

We managed to get a last minute reservation which was nice because I wanted to take my wife here for her birthday. The table wasn’t the nicest, located at the staff terminal and wine station but it did mean we got impeccable service as our waiter always had to be around our table. The waiter was super friendly and did an amazing job. The general atmosphere here is very nice. It’s a stylish and trendy venue which really gives you that “I’m in a big metropolitan city” vibe. The champagne is good (duh! It’s champers!) and the cocktail of the day was amazing (so amazing I had two). The food is great and very tasty, except the pulpo was a bit of a let down. The Daurade Sashimi is so simple yet so amazing. The Tarama is so delicate yet so full of taste. The broccoli was nice, but not wow. Same goes for the tartare of tomatoes with moules. The tataki of tuna was truely delicious. Finished it off with an espresso and a glass of 10y Laphroaig. Overal we had a very nice evening and a good experience and I would recommend this place to friends and family, heck I would even come back myself.

We started with nice cocktails at the bar done by the welcoming Oscar. Had oysters, all raw items, and an off the menu tuna ventresca steak recommended by the nice and hospitable lady who took our order. They were all excellent. Finished with their cheesecake and delicious fig and its leaf ice cream. Wines were great too. The only disappointment that made us leave on a bitter note, was an extra €160 bottle of wine written as “Bouteille de vin” at the bottom of our bill. I know this was not a mistake because it was done to another table next to us too. As a restaurateur myself, I thought I would share this for senior management / owners to be aware and save their great restaurant’s reputation.

Maybe too much anticipation for that long awaited Caché.... what to say... certainly blown away by the decor and the site, which is more in the line of Sydney or NYC. This is a first for Paris I would say. Service is impeccable, and the sommelier gives really great advice. The list of wines carefully chosen for all types of price and style… nice point Now to the food. The issue with this kind of concept, when mostly everything is raw fish...ceviche like style...is that at some point it can be a little bit samy, to the point where you eat undefinable fish flesh… mixed with various spices, lime juices, and rose pepper. This is to the level that one got added Lobster, the other octopus… you just notice the additional element, sometimes. To that point, the “polpo” was not as good as the one we had a Bonhomie few days before. Shame. And the lobster, such a careful ingredient, with such delicate flavour was simply covered by all the tarty juice. Sorry but at that price and at that trendy fashionable targeted level, I am to be peaky! Not to notice the gambas, completely overcooked to the level of being mushy and almost impossible to take the shell off. Disappointed. One good mark to the inventive Sole done in a kind of skitake maybe or other muchroomy sauce with loads….loads of pepper and that was very nice, or the grilled mackerel with that tomato concasse and garlic saganaki ...fresh! Also on the dessert, one amazing….one failure. The most amazing cheesecake ever, the vanilla flavour was so strong it was choking, to the level of not feeling the flavour of apricots….but who cares when it’s so light and good. On the other side, the pavlova wasn’t a palvo ...but a dry meringue with strawberry coulis mixed with fresh strawberries and a whip cream. What’s wrong… a plavo is an Italian meringue to get foam inside, melting and velvety and a crusty outside. When you’re partner is kiwi, you know those things. So was a french meringue with strawberries! Point made Will I come back? no and will I advise my circle to go, yeah. But I would inform them to not be expecting the grandeur of the expectation we all had and there is a long way to go if that place wants to be on the map of Septime, Bonhomie, Jones, Marso&Co or other sharing plates Paris famous locations. Style over substance, some may say. Another point, notice that the set up is also like London or NYC style - 2 hours time slot and a credit card to secure the table. Insta influencers dropping tables at the last minute without calling the restaurant, and knowing nothing to food are changing this Paris restaurant scene to the worse ...let’s hope we don’t other new places having to engage to that level of security for booking. I understand the credit card, I don’t understand the 2 hours…. But let’s be clear...2 services...fair enough. Maybe I am too old school for those kind of places.
