Le Verre Volé

The worst thing about my experience there was the clam broth I got for my entree. After I enjoyed it to the last clam, I found a lump of black mush inside the clam shell. My friends told me that it is dirt, not something that they put in purposefully. I notified the staff about this and the staff was kindly enough to go ask the kitchen for me. The staff came back to me with an answer "that was black sesame." I hate causing a scene so I just let it go, but to say that the lump in the clam I found was black sesame was BOLD, I mean the ingredient was not even listed on the menu. This ruined my appetite completely and made me disappointed in the restaurant so much. I have photo of the clams before I ate it, the broth was clean at first, by the time I got to the bottom, the broth was blackened 😂😭. The food was mid, dessert was good.

Le Verre Volé is one of those rare gems that perfectly balances the charm of a classic French bistrot with a modern, creative touch. The atmosphere is effortlessly inviting—lively yet intimate, making it the kind of place where you can lose track of time over great food and even better wine. The menu is a celebration of French cuisine, but always with a twist that keeps things exciting. Every dish feels thoughtful, prepared with quality ingredients and just the right amount of boldness. And of course, the wine selection is top-notch, with an ever-changing list that never disappoints. Whether you’re a natural wine enthusiast or just looking for a great bottle to pair with your meal, you’re in good hands here. The team is absolutely friendly and if you sit outside u’d have a great view on canal Saint Martin. I really enjoy going here whenever I am in the area.

Lively, friendly atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was exceptional and the wine selection outstanding. We will be back!

We had the best French food in Paris last night! The dishes were incredible: black pudding, veal, sashimi sea bream, scallops, lamb kebab, squid, and chocolate mousse for dessert. The red wine paired perfectly with the meal. Highly recommend this place!

Very nice bistro and wine cave. Food is simple but delicious. Not overly heavy as tradition French cuisine might be, yet still had some interesting flavor combinations.

delicious, fresh french cuisine! highly recommend!

Where wine meets dine. A wine shop where you can eat, meaning good priced wine, a fun atmosphere and good bistro style food. Some dishes were amazing, like the mussels and stone fish yet others were good at best. There was quite a noticeable difference in level between the dishes, almost like prepared by different chefs. That said, there really is nothing to complain with all these fine wines and lovely staff. Having dishes that don’t meet expectations happens from time to time and wouldn’t discourage me from visiting again. The chefs are creative which grants them room for error over the boring same old same old chefs. Go here for great wines, buy a couple for on the road and hey, grab a bite whilst you’re there. You won’t regret it.

Starters were all epic!! We had canard and fish for mains and were both so tasty dishes. Ok it’s not average in prices but same goes for the taste. Service was excellent and even though we went for the cheapest wine option - since the list is big and also pricey- we were fully satisfied with our time there. Overall one of the expensive meals we had in Paris but definitely recommended!
