Chez Dumonet

Textbook place. It's really an examplary old school place with technical excellence Pate is the best I've had, very clean flavours and super well packed, it doesn't crumble at all. Texture was firm and harkens to hard jelly Beef bourguignon was alright, it's very particular. The sauce is strong w wine and also chunky, it's really not for everyone. But beef was fine Confit duck flavour was impeccable, not the most crispy but the fats had the proper strong caramelised aroma. Very good And the dish that stunned: mille feuille pigeon. A dish that's a flex, the thinly sliced potatoes were superbly crispy and well caramelised, rare pigeon was tender and well charred too. Jus was thick. All around winner, this is a must try Souffle was super fluffy, light, sweet and well crusted. Flavour was great, although it's really quite sweet An institution not to be missed, get the pate, pigeon and souffle. They're expensive but for good reason, it's definitely value for money in terms of the technical precision as well as it translating to actual taste

I am a vegetarian which basically means I could only have a salad. I asked the waiter if the chef could make me something, and he suggested a veggie dish. I was pleasantly surprised by what he had prepared. It was delicious! My husband tried the mashed potatoes that were on my plate and went ga ga for them. He told the waiter they were excellent and about 5 mins later, the chef had sent out a bowl of them for my husband! The apple tart was amazing! Great experience!

Huge portions(especially the desserts), surprisingly friendly service and very, VERY good food! Highly recommend: -pan fried foie gras -pigeon millefeuille

Small cosy restaurant that serves very good duck config and if you are there on Wed Lunch, there is a roasted lamp which is amazing. Staff is very warm and service oriented. Great experience overall.

We were a bit intimidated at first since this was the first restaurant we came to in Paris. A small restaurant with a lot of character. We soon felt right at ease and like we found a neighborhood gem. We started with the morel mushrooms and wow they were tasty. Wine was also good. I ordered the beef burignon with pasta and my husband got the confit duck. Both dishes were super delicious and filling. We had to end our meal with their famous grand marnier soufflé, it is massive and delicious. They ended it all off with a fabulous tray of treats with an almond twill that was wonderful. Espresso was also great.

Great beef bourguignon! Tasty, succulent and extremely tender! Taste like it’s been boiling on the stove for a week to get this flavour. One of the best in Paris after tasting so many! Veal chop is very tender and juicy but could do with a bit more seasoning. Fantastic Mille feuille! Crispy, delicate and just the right amount of sweetness. Probably one of the best in this restaurant class in Paris! Don’t order wine by the glass though as it’s not worth the money for the tiny glass you get. If there is a party of 2, get a bottle instead. At the end of the day and more importantly, will I go back to eat there again? Absolutely sans the small wines by the glass! Treat yourself to one of the best beef bourguignon meals in Paris! It’s a must-visit!

A traditional place. Delicious food and fast, kind service. Feels like half locals and half tourists because of its mention on Eater. Had incredible langoustines and duck leg confit.

Very authentic French taste. Foie gras pate very rich and smooth. Tomato salad fresh and sauce well mixed. Beef tartar portion big and tasty, restaurant manager prepared it nicely on table, everything perfect! The menu price looks expensive (vs environment) but it is very high quality food. Highly recommend and will visit and do dinner with a bottle of wine next time!
