Kong

Very easy to do your reservation online. The location is gorgeous and the food does not stay behind. The staff spoke with us in very good english and was very friendly. Service was fast, never had to remind the staff of anything. Music was not loud so we were able to talk and enjoy. Entrees were the things that impressed us the most, dont remember the exact name but one had pop corn and the other prawns. Loved the pavlova, very good size for dessert for two.

I left my first visit to KONG feeling energized and inspired, thanks to the venue's captivating atmosphere and outstanding service! Beginning with a leisurely wine tasting at the bar, I was immediately struck by the refined ambiance and the promise of a special evening ahead. Dinner was a true highlight, with the open ceiling and stunning view melding together to create a truly unforgettable experience. The cuisine and service provided by the lovely Yasmine were, without exception, outstanding.

Went here for lunch, greeted and waited fir our table at the lounge bar area. There were others there waiting as we were all early. As time came, we were taken up to the restaurant. Very pleasant staff attentive and professionally polite. The food was exceptional, awesome tastes and flavours, I would recommend anything you wish to taste, as the combinations are really incredible. Looking forward to returning and trying the dinner menu next time!!!

We had an incredible birthday dinner at Kong! The ambiance was a perfect 10/10, with stunning lighting and a breathtaking glass roof that made the evening feel truly special. The staff were amazing from start to finish. We were greeted warmly, and our waitress, Martine, provided outstanding service—attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The food was exceptional. My wife started with crispy prawns with chili ponzu sauce, followed by pan-fried scallops with truffled artichoke cream, and ended with the Carrément chocolat by Pierre Hermé. I enjoyed prawns and crab ravioli with scampi emulsion, braised octopus with pear teriyaki and shiso sweet potato, and the Cheesecake Suzette by Pierre Hermé. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. To top it off, they brought our desserts with a candle and sang “Happy Birthday” quietly, making the celebration feel intimate and thoughtful. Kong offers fine dining that matches its quality of food and service. I highly recommend it for special occasions.

Interesting restaurant with a cool atmosphere and good Asian-style food. Despite the good food and warming atmosphere, the staff was very disappointing. When first arrived, we had to wait 30 minutes to get our table in the glass room, due to our 10-minute delay. Our table was given away, despite our reservation. Then, during the service, we had to ask for the water 4 times, because the waiter always legit about it. Same story when we had to order the dishes. In addition, some people from staff are only French-speakers, which makes really hard to interact with, if you’re not a French-speaker. The food was good. The only negative point was for the 2000 feuillues Pierre Herme with a weird chocolate flavor. They really

We attended Kong for our wedding anniversary. The restaurant is quite unique in its setting and the atmosphere was warm and nice. The food though was a little disappointing for the price. My wife ordered the Chicken breast with ginger, miso aubergine confit dish and we found the chicken dry, but my Pan-fried scallops, truffled artichoke cream was nice, but not a wow! The staff were very nice and very accommodating as we were late. I would go there once, but would not necessary go there again as we found the food over priced for the quality.

Not worth the money! Too expensive ie. €8 for each coke soda or flat water. Drinks over priced. Duck meat dinner too salty and inedible. Portions are more designed for presentation and jammed 5 people onto a 4 person table even though there were other empty tables nearby and Resturant was not full during the 2.5 hrs we were there. We were celebrating a birthday and anniversary but comment from server of “I’ll do it anyways” because we only ordered 2 desserts was uncalled for - all they do is put a candle on our paid for dessert. Expected much more from this place than overpriced drinks and mediocre food

Amazing place. Classic meets modern in Paris. Service was exellent. Our waitress Martin was so lovely and reccomended us just the right choises.

Do you not come here if you had good Asian food before. Overall, the food was not worth the money, and I expected a lot more from this place. But obviously, in the end, I was disappointed. The food was nothing special, and the quality was not worth the price. They definitely prepare the wagyu wrong even I could've cooked it in my sleep. You know the place is a red flag when the waitress ask you how would you like your wagyu cooked? Also, there was no evidence of what type of grade the Wagyu was. The place was very pretty inside. There was a glass ceiling where you could see above you, but during night it's too dark to enjoy the glass ceiling. The service was very tentative and good. Sadly, the food wasn't good don't go here. This food was not worth the money.

Now if you're coming to Kong for fine dining, you're in the wrong place. The restaurant is gorgeous, ambiance top tier. Spectacular picture opportunities at every angle. The food however is not amazing. Everything was ok but not great & at the end they charge 30% total in service fees and then ask for a tip on top, NO SIR!

Awful experience, the views were pretty but they kicked us out because we didn't order enough starters and mains to "qualify" to sit in the dinner area. We were happy to order an entree or two, or a few starters but not two of both? After reading how bad the food reviews were and seeing how expensive it was, we didn't want to waste a whole meal here so the manager escorted us out. Very awkward experience! This is very touristy-gimmicky place so probably not a great option if you are looking to enjoy a nice dinner in paris.

Found this place online and I'm so glad we did ! Benjamin was our server and he was so accommodating + helpful. We ordered a bunch of apps for the group so we got to try a lot. I recommend the rock shrimp, spicy edamame, and prawn rav. For mains we had the prawn and asparagus , steak, and lobster udon. Overall the food was delicious. We also stopped on the first floor for a drink with Hugo and Leslie who were so nice and welcoming. Highly recommend if you want a beautiful rooftop in a nice area.

First off, I just want to say how amazing dinner was, the staff and the ambiance. We took my little sister here for her 30th birthday and everything was great from start to finish. The drinks were tasty and colorful, the food was amazing and fresh! The service was top notch and they made everyone feel welcomed. Dinner was back in June of 2023

I just had drinks at the bar: you pay a lot of money for a small drink honestly. Staff was extremely nice great service! But I got a Hana, very good tasted like juice! They have a huge ice cube in it so you don't get that much of a drink for 18 euros but the atmosphere is very nice. Definitely worth it if you are willing to spend some extra money. Too flood where the bathroom was is very pretty.

Bonsoir! It's our first night in the city of lights and Kong was the perfect spot for this group of 10 girlfriends! We loved the all glass dining area which is great for taking photos. I have to say that I was very impressed by their cocktails ! My girlfriends and I tried a variety of cocktails and they were all delicious! Asian Porn Star Martini, Tokyo Spritz, Hara Kiri -- all of them were made just right! We started off with a few starters and the sea bass carpaccio was delicious! I loved the kaffir lime leaf flavors along with yuzu. We had high hopes for the main dish, but the cod was just too salty! The side of jasmine rice was appreciated after the saltiness of the fish. The veal was a disappointment as it was so difficult to cut that we asked for a steak knife but that didn't help either. This was a let down because the veal paired with the dipping sauce tasted great! Overall, this is a very nice venue to experience, the cocktails are amazing but the main dishes were hit or miss.

Loved the drinks, ambiance, & service. We did not have a reservation and told them we are only getting drinks but they were kind enough to still seat us upstairs under the windows. We could not see the view & it was gloomy but it was still really nice being next to the windows and having a lot of light shine on us. The Tokyo Spritz was so delicious! My boyfriend did not like his whiskey choice but that's his fault lol

Asian fusion food in Paris is the best way to describe this place. It gives you another high level view of Paris. Overall the food was good. But the hostess was very rude. We rode up the elevator and no one was on the floor. We stood for a few minutes and then we saw stairs so we decided to go up the stairs. Then halfway u the stairs, hostess comes down and nearly bites our head off for not waiting downstairs. We walk with her back to the elevator, then she ask us how many and do we have a rsvp. Then she takes us back up the stairs to seat us. Then when we left after our meal, that same hostess saw us get on the elevator. But the doors where just opening and closing. My friend ask the hostess is something wrong with the elevator and her response was yes it's not working right now. What I don't understand is why this hostess did not say this prior to us getting on the elevator. I really wanted to enjoy this place but the hostess just made it a miserable experience.

So, it's my BD and I wanted to choose a restaurant with a view to celebrate with family. We have 6 people and to my surprise they tuck us in the back behind the stairs where all views are obstructed. I rather they didn't have the spot available than allowed the reservation. I couldn't leave knowing I'm charged so it was painful stayed there. So if you book make sure of the view. Food was just ok so if you want good food this is not the place. Service was ok besides everything was hella expensive. This place the scammed their guests with additional 20% and 10% tax. Paris has lots of nice restaurants just not here

To start the ambiance is incredible. While waiting for your table you go into the cocktail area where I had the best cocktail of my life! Then we went upstairs to the roof dining area and it was just an amazing experience. Food was great and service was fabulous. Miss this place already!!

You pay for the ambiance and the view basically. Mashed potatoes were good, miso cod wasn't bad. Prawn and crab ravioli were bland, but ate it with the mashed potatoes to add saltiness. Staff was friendly and all spoke English. Be careful when you pay, they add a tip but ask for more. I didn't see that before I added the tip because my friends had the receipt but just be aware to not double tip. That was my fault!

We came to Paris for our 39th anniversary and dined at Kong to celebrate. It was a perfect evening in every way. From the moment we were greeted at the door until we left we could not have asked for a better experience. The view from our table was spectacular. The menu was creative and refreshing. I had the Tuna steak served Japanese style and my husband had the beef filet with pepper sauce. Both entrees were delicious. My husband had the cheesecake Suzette for dessert and I had the 2000 feuilles. Amazing! Really the star of the evening was Lola. Excellent and friendly service! She was very helpful and patient with my A1 level French. I had great service and a French tutor all in one. If you want a night out for special memories of a lifetime, this is the place. Ask for Lola!

food was awful. we asked for medium rare and the meat turned out to be well over cooked which made it super dry and distasteful. the drinks we ordered was only good part to our experience. this restaurant makes japanese look bad and should not be a fusion restaurant at all. the french fries look appealing at first but its really not good either. yes the ambience is nice but i much rather pay for better food.

Kong in Paris was a big disappointment. It started at the hostess desk where they couldn't find my reservation and when I showed them my email they blamed the cancelation on me-- they said I didn't confirm the reservation. The manager was rude and said they could seat us but they needed the table at 9pm. We are here from America celebrating a birthday and the uber had dropped us off so we stayed. The food was small with cute portions that lacked taste. Another pretentious restaurant with nasty food. Expensive nasty food. I found a shell in my ravioli. I don't know what my drink was cause it wasn't a cosmopolitan. One of the other ladies ordered the steak medium and it came to the table well done. She sent it back but it was still on our bill. She has madhed potatoes for dinner. And they had the gall to add 20% service charge. I can't even say the view was good since we got seated in the back. Don't waste your time fine another Paris restaurant-- this ain't it!

Foods good. Dessert by Pierre h is awesome. Trendy happening vibe. Great view. Good service.

The restaurant is beautiful. The food is very good. The service was good The whole experience was ruined when we were asked to tip. A restaurant of this quality does not ASK customers to tip. Customers tip whet they want if they want. Being asked is tacky

Food is great- I had the tuna tartare as a starter. and tuna steak as entre- fabulous. The service is attentive, friendly and English friendly :). The ambiance is the best! Open glass throughout with modern decor depicting large drawings and Asian characters throughout. Views are amazing. This is the second time I've been and would highly recommend.

Terrible service. Food is even worse. Zero stars, honestly. The appetizers are somewhat better than the main courses but both are awful and bland. The cod was drenched in what tasted like old frying oil. The photos of the location are misleading. There is no rooftop view as depicted in pictures. Not worth it.

After watching one of the episode of Sex and the City film in Paris, we had to try this restaurant and boy won't we were disappointed. If the price is a bit steep, it is worth your money. The place is magical, service is exceptional without being obnoxious, actually our waitress was super nice, and the food is excellent! A must do especially at night.

This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to. We had to put down a down payment for dinner and we asked to change the amount of people weeks before our reservation, but they said the down payment was nonrefundable. The food was not up to par with the type of restaurant that they advertise themselves to be and while the glass windows are nice, we have seen better views in Paris.

The most beautiful rooftop restaurant with a view in Paris! Although it can be on the pricey side, it's well worth the splurge with incredible panorama views of the city. The cocktails are some of the best with a unique fusion twist. 10/10!

Decor and location five stars food and four stars, but I am basing this review on the service What is below mediocre for what one would expect and then our young server actually dared to tell us at check out that there should be a 10 to 20% tip, when we said to him that 18% was already included he pretended to not understand! That put a sour taste in our mouths as it was very obvious that the whole situation is a bit of a money grab!

First off, very cool and chic ambiance with open glass ceiling and window panels on the 5th floor overlooking the city streets. Service was good and food was okay. Just so you know , there's a minimum of either an entire or 2 starters which is fine. Beware, the bill already included 10% VAT plus another 20% of VAT, a total of 30% VAT, then the waitress handed us the credit card scanner pad pointing at the 25% tip icon, my partner did not know that service fee have already been added and with the pressure, he added another 25% tip. The food bill was 130 plus 10% VAT, but ended up paying 207 euro! That's 77 in 20% service and tip!

The view was beautiful, the staff was nice up we had a good time up until we asked one of the girls to take a picture of my husband & I, she said ok until we see the manager call her & it looked like she told her not to take a picture of us..we waited for a few minutes until we realized she's not going to come. One of their guests saw us waiting for up from her dinner table to come take a picture of us just because she was a kind person. We had dinner for over 150$ & left a good tip! There was no reason to be rude about taking a photo

Very elegant and beautiful, surrounded by windows and clear chairs. The service was great and the food was wonderful and the drinks were strong and delish.

Only thing good was the mashed potatoes! It serves as an ambience only restaurant in my book.

Worst lunch for the value in a long long time views are great hostess great waiters were slow and aloof. They got my daughter order wrong dropped all the food at one time the du k was over cooked brought out food we didn't order go elsewhere so many better places to try.

Food disappointing for the sky-high prices. Service was good but server leaned in too hard for a tip. The ambience Is nice. This is basically what you are paying for.

Although it is infact a beautiful restaurant with kind staff, I must say Ive never been so dissatisfied with food. I ordered the meat, medium rare, it was flavorless, and hard to cut. I ordered a side of vegetables, they came in a tiny plate, and were basically raw. The rissoto was just rice.. I was very much looking forward to a great experience in this famous restaurant, but the food is just not worth the price, or any price at all. It was annoying to pay such a high price for food that was extremely bad. I think of this bad meal quiete often.

The manager of the hotel was very rude! We made reservations arrived on time and asked for a minor seat adjustment. Not only did it turn into a big deal she blatantly berated and ridiculed us to all of her colleagues as we sat and watched. It became so uncomfortable that we informed our waiter that we were leaving. The manager came to the table and stated that if we leave we would have to pay for the complimentary water that came with our reservation. I told her that's fine and to bring the bill. Our waiter came and apologized and stated he's not charging us for complimentary water. It's sad that post pandemic people are still treating patrons bad. We came out to enjoy a night out in pros and were treated as though we were a bother and a nuisance.

Food: food was good. We got the 3 course lunch menu €45 per person. For the starters, the salmon carpaccio was extremely thinly sliced but I wished the yuzu flavor was more prominent. Overall good ingredients and beautiful plating but lacked flavor. The quinoa and tuna poke also had very fresh ingredients and had a little more flavor than the salmon. For the main course, the truffle risotto was good. I recommend! The portion is a little small. The cod was delicious! Pretty salty so you need to eat it with the rice. But extremely tender and well made. The angus beef was also good. For dessert, the chocolate cake was delicious and the tapioca pudding was also so so good! The desserts were made very well. Interior: very clean and uniquely decorated. It has a modern look and feel with bright colors, icons/imagery, and clean lines. It contrasts well with the rest of Paris. Service: very good service. Food came on time, staff were friendly Overall this place is good. Not life changing, but very solid for a high end meal!

Vous êtes tous des putains de déchets ! Nourriture méchante et personnes méchantes ! Le serveur était impoli et dégoûtant et vous m'avez facturé de la nourriture à qui j'étais allergique. Ils ont dit oh bien, vous auriez dû demander à la serveuse quand il n'y avait aucun signe de produits laitiers dans les nouilles et les champignons japonais ! Si je pouvais noter 0 étoiles, je le ferais !! Endroit très terrible pour les riches Noirs. Ce n'est plus les années 1700 ! Faites preuve de respect ! Ils ont embauché un groupe de sorcières en tant que gestionnaires. Je parlerai de cette poubelle à des millions de personnes.

The views are horrible, the service is unacceptable and the food was disgusting. I have never in my life been treated more inconsiderately than I have been treated here. The waiter upon arriving told my friends and I we couldn't stay upstairs if we didn't order a main; automatically assuming we couldn't afford their overpriced dog food upon greeting us. Promptly after the waiter asked my friends and I if we know what "tartare" is. So great to know they make assumptions of people based on their ages. From that point on we were treated with nothing but disrespect, had to haggle them over the bill where they attempted to charge us more than we paid for and when we didn't want to tip them for their beyond subpar service they asked us why we are "rude" maybe they were the rude ones. Genuinely in shock at the service alone, and then the food was a complete other issue. The chicken was dryer than the desert, the buratta genuinely tasted like spoiled milk and after taking one bite we couldn't fathom another taste because it was so bad. I hope they work out their obvious age discrimination and take their heads out of their behinds because spoiler alert it's not a hat.

Amazing spot for a date, great view and ambiance, the decoration is fun and the food is really good

I came here with my family for lunch and it was a little hard to find since there was no sign that told you to go to the top floor. The service is a little slow, but the view is quite beautiful. There weren't many options on the menu food wise and many items on the menu weren't available, but they have a wide variety of beverages. I would say that they need the waiters to check in on the tables more often considering we waited quite a long time to have our drinks refilled. I would not recommend for children unless they have a very mature palette. Most of the food was average tasting and was definitely not worth the price you paid. they got our order wrong and burnt the bread we ordered. I would only recommend the salmon or mashed potatoes. Overall I was not satisfied with my meal at this restaurant

This place is good, but it could definitely be better. The food and atmosphere is absolutely 5 stars. I had the Kong Plate to start and steak tartare with a side of mashed potatoes as an entree. They were all incredible. However, the service is AWFUL. Like shockingly bad for a "nice" restaurant. The server was unbelievably condescending, not attentive at all, and honestly just plain rude. If you are older than 40 and wearing over $3,000 then you're probably fine, if not, regardless of how much money you're willing to spend, you will be treated as a lesser patron. They want a modern, young vibe and I honestly don't think you should come here if you're young. There's plenty of cool restaurants in Paris, try those!

I don't usually write reviews ever but had to for this. Would give less than 1 star if possible. They do not care who you are, they will literally treat you like dirt regardless. We ordered an espresso martini & a whiskey sour. After they arrived, we took our first sips only for my "espresso martini" to be a VILE mix of whiskey sour and espresso and for the "whiskey sour" to be a concoction of espresso, whipped cream and other unidentifiable things. I politely tell the manager that these are simply just not the right drinks. He looks at me and goes not possible, looks at the martini and says that is an espresso martini- REGARDLESS IF IT WAS CORRECT, IF I TELL YOU IT DOES NOT TASTE RIGHT YOU SAY OKAY. I then say no it is not, try it. So he does try it and quite frankly GAGS right in front of us, our waiter as well who also tried. After bringing out the correct drinks, their way of "compensating" was to bring 2 shot glasses of the LEFTOVERS of the correct espresso martini. As if they did us a favor As for food, it was equivalent to frozen microwave food, and the icing on the cake was the mochi tasting like old gum. Not sure how this place is in business but sure yeah great views! The one decent thing was the edamame..at least. ALSO BEWARE- the service charge is 20% included. We asked if that was considered a tip and our waiter said no it's not, so like any decent person would after being told no, tipped again. BUT then was only given the option to tip 20, 40, or 60 euro?

I spoke with a former waiter who tells me that the managers are putting pressure on the employees: comments on the physical/outfits of the waitresses, tacit obligation to dress sexy for the customers (it's 2022 guys) , difference between hours worked and hours paid...., contempt for the cooks... Out of curiosity I went there. If the place is nice (nice glass roof over Paris), it is in fact really hot (the sun hits the window) and the decor is kitsch and too much. Not classy, despite the potential of the place. The wter is 8 euros (no tap water). I wanted to take a simple entry + wine, the waiter told me that the note has to be at least 100 euros/client. As for the food, my ceviche was not fresh (it felt) but it was still good. In fact, according to my source, a good number of products are frozen. To sum up, go your way so as not to inflate the pockets of those businessmen who scam the staff and are not nice and true restaurateurs as we find many in Paris.

I was definitely more along the lines of a 3.5 with my review. The look of the restaurant and the view are what I was after. It didn't hurt that it was featured on Sex and the City years ago. We were there right when the restaurant opened, had reservations and dressed really nice and got really great seats. The drinks downstairs at the bar were good, albeit expensive (not surprising in Paris). The service upstairs was very good to start but then got to be very lackluster. We kept waiting for our bill but the server did not come back by FOREVER. The place was packed - you would think they would want to free up our table. The food was interesting. It was good but I did have to send back my main dish as it was freezing. This was our most expensive dinner in Paris so it was a little sad. I wouldn't go back but I enjoyed it for the most part and would not recommend against it.

Ambiance is a plus. Cocktails are tasteful but super pricy. Service was okay for such an expensive place. We had cod and rib eye and it was okay. The bar area is very cozy. Great place for pictures. Trendy place.

This place is awful. Not even close to a "vibe" of any sort. If you walk into a place, see plastic chairs with Geishas plastered on the back of them, you should turn around and leave. The experience was just that, It felt callous and not even remotely warm. The food was mediocre but priced as if you're eating at La Tour D'Argent, L'Arpege or elsewhere. Paid 20+ Euros for 4 "peking duck" spring rolls that could've basically been out of a cardboard box. The duck we ordered was cold, inedible, and took 10 min to chew 1 cut. Got a margarita that was basically orange juice, and didn't remotely resemble any sort of margarita. No idea how this place is popular. Was recommended by a friend, and quickly took all his recommendations of my list. Run away, fast, go anywhere else. Ended the night at Balagan, now that a vibe!

Kong is a fantastically fashionable bar at the top of the LVMH building. Its name, manga-inspired prints, and menu - a haute French / southeast Asian fusion - show its Asian influences. Slink around the lounge bar, or hit up the airy upstairs dining room to take in a view of the Seine. Lit partitions, a florescent stairwell, and table-lighting combine to form a visually active space. Plasma screens grace the restaurant's perimeter, flashing images of geishas and Kong's logo. Upbeat lounge music completes the picture. Presentation-wise, plating was excellent. Flavor-wise, our plates were more hit than miss. The agneau roti was a good try: sweet potatoes and tender pork (prepared medium) sat on a bed of violently strong spinach, artichokes, and red curry. Alas, there wasn't enough curry or spinach to rescue the plain meat. On a more positive note, the carpaccio de bar sauvage et daraude, sushi de pomme verte was tasty, the fish had a faint saltiness, a citrus accent of sorts. The beef tartare was delicious, with a soft texture, the raw taste kept to a minimum. A quail egg topped this dish's whimsical presentation. For dessert, the signature Pierre Hermé deux mille feuille (11 E) was decadent and not cloyingly sweet. The contrast between the chocolate and hazelnut mousse was incredible. Our server spoke English to us when he caught on that we weren't native French speakers. He paid so much attention to us that we gladly left an extra tip. Book in advance, especially for dinner.

This restaurant came recommended to me but I didn't leave totally impressed. We had made a reservation but for a midweek lunch, it really wasn't necessary as it was really about 30-40% full The restaurant architecture itself is marvelous and was very fun to people-watch through. It was very much like a greenhouse feel with floor-to-ceiling windows which allow you to gaze out at the beautiful skyline of Paris and the River Seine. The décor of the restaurant had an Asian touch with a modern feel as well to it. We got the 3 course lunch menu at 35 euros a person. The food itself was mediocre and somewhat disappointing but the presentation of the food and the dining experience was lovely. The food didn't quite live up to what one would expect with the actual dining experience and décor presented. The service was good and the price was worth it but more for the view than the food. Service was fine. Overall- glad I tried but I don't feel the need to come back again.

Awesome vibe and atmosphere for lunch. I have been two different times. The first time I went the dining room upstairs was not full that day, this made the restaurant so beautiful! All of the acrylic chairs shined in the sunlight. The dining room is wrapped in glass and gives you a great view of Paris. I also love all the pops of color throughout the restaurant. Very unique spot. The second time I went, the restaurant was very full and we had to wait for a table because we were late to our reservation. It was no problem they still sat us quickly and the service was very friendly. The food was good. The first time I had a udon noodle shiitake mushroom dish. The second time I had crab ravioli. Both great! However the restaurant is definitely on the more expensive side. The portion sizes are not large, so I would recommend an appetizer if going for dinner or lunch if you're hungry. The drink menu is also pretty expensive. But the location is in the heart of Paris with an amazing view, so I can see why they charge the prices they do. I have not been at night yet, but would like to try during sunset for cocktails.

My friend was very set on going to this restaurant called "Kong." I wasn't sure why? So right as we were walking up to the restaurant, I asked her and she said that she saw it on "Sex and the City." Haha! I was game, because I don't know where to eat in Paris. The building is super hard to find if you didn't know where to go, but her cousin helped us find the place. He is a local. The upstairs dinning area is very breathtaking. That alone is what you are paying for. Plus I thought the clear plastic seats, imprinted with the heads of the 3 Kong girls were unique. Staff were pleasant and spoke English to us, since we lack any language skills (thanks America!). My meal was 17 euro and I also ordered a 4 euro tea. Not too bad. But we went during lunch and that is how we were able to sit upstairs in the viewing area, otherwise I heard it is near impossible for the dinner hour to sit upstairs. This is a great tourist place to hit up, but come for lunch!

I think the vibe is cool. I've been here quite a few times and i wanna share with you because this place is hip and cool. Excellent roof surrounded by glasses, fabulous view, nice people here. Everything looks perfect.

Says to dress smart and intelligent but everyone was dressed super casual, food was alright, over priced and super small servings but over all super cool experience

When our family friend first told us she would be taking us out for dinner to KONG, I immediately thought of King Kong (Peter Jackson's film starring Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody and Jack Black) and then my mind drifted to Donkey Kong, the game I used to play as a kid, and finally, I just thought there would be a giant gorilla inside the restaurant! Boy, was I wrong. KONG, which opened in 2003, is a South-east Asian/French inspired restaurant (complete with a cocktail bar and club) and sprawls over two levels in the Kenzo building. Walking in, you feel like you are in a fashionista's house - there are massive art prints on the wall (above), the lighting is fuchsia/purple and there is a lot of fancy furniture. Ride the elevator to the top where you enter the bar and restaurant. We first started the night with cocktails. I loved the 'Cancun' cocktail - seriously the best I have ever had. It consisted of tequila, grenade liquor, raspberry jam, ginger ale and apple juice. It was strong, flavourful and lasted the whole night! They have a range of cocktails, from KONG specialties, to short, martini, exotic and champagne ones. Mocktails are also available. Onto the food. Which was spectacular! All the dishes were presented well and tasted heavenly. The escargot dim sum were definitely the highlight of the night. You may be thinking, snails? as dumplings? Yes a bit strange, but the dish looked appetising, partly due to it being served in a bamboo steamer! The snails were cooked perfectly and it really worked! I ordered the prawn and crab ravioli for a starter - three foods I love, but I have never eaten them together. It was a great dish - creamy and filling. Other dishes we enjoyed were the black cod with miso and wok vegetables, the Wagyu beef with sauteed vegetables and the tuna steak with soy and spices sauce and mashed potatoes, the latter of which they forgot to bring out! After a 20 minute wait, a small bowl arrived at our table. It was probably laden with cream and butter, but it was melt in your mouth amazing and I would have happily eaten another bowl! We finished the night off with a salted butter eclair from E'clair de Genie (which I previously posted about here) and salted caramel ice cream, plus a chocolate cake from Pierre Herme. We probably should have just ordered one thing, because they were both decadently rich... but still heavenly! The restaurant itself is all glass and has an amazing view over the River Siene and Pont Neuf bridge. I guess you are really paying for the view, because, well, the food is incredibly expensive! The most disappointing (and I will add in strange too) thing about KONG were the waitresses. They wore the most skimpiest outfits, like they spend their whole lives in nightclubs. They also each wore a small shoulder bag, which did not make any sense because we never saw one being opened. Maybe they kept their dockets in there? Mystery... Another problem was that, I hate to say it, they were a bit thick, and forgetful. An example would be when they forgot our cocktails at the bar or when they forgot my mashed potato which was in fact meant to be served with my main dish. The waitress looked dumbfounded when I told her she had forgotten it. For these mishaps, I could not give KONG the 5 star rating it really deserved. I really enjoyed our dining experience at KONG, but as I mentioned earlier, it is ridiculously expensive. One that you would have to budget for. I recommend booking way ahead, ordering a few cocktails (and maybe an entree), sitting back and enjoying the beautiful views.
