Benoit Paris Reviews
Excellent restaurant
Excellent in every respect. Wonderful food and outstanding service from a well trained, engaged and highly professional team.
Simply not good enough given the prices it charges.
The Positives: 1. the staff are excellent and they really put in a great deal of effort. They are courteous and friendly; 2. The restaurant is unquestionably beautiful and its location is excellent. The Negatives: 1. The food is rather bland and
Disappointing and expensive
Hugely disappointed in the highly overpriced food. While there was a decent piece of sole on the menu, it was âŹ80 per person. The desserts were poor at best. The service was attentive but nothing special. Sorry to say I cannot recommend this restau
Still good but not as good...
This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Paris for many years. Our last dinner was good, but definitely not the level it used to be. Everything we ate was good (dover sole, escargot, desserts), just nothing was mind blowing or very memorab
Food was delicious! Service was attentive and helpful.
Americans speaking little French. We had reservations, arrived on time, and sat upstairs. So cute! Appetizers, dinner, dessert and coffee. Loved all!
Explosion of flavors
Dining at Benoit in Paris was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The flavors were simply exceptional, with every dish crafted to perfection. The sea bass fillet with zucchini was delicate and flavorful, cooked with incredible finesse
Food was wonderful and service was super.
French cuisine was amazing, every single dish was wonderful. Ambiance was a wonderful bistro, and staff was wonderful.

probably worst food experience on our trip.

We booked this reservation with a bit of hesitation due to some of the reviews here but are so glad we did. Unbeknownst to us there was another "Benoit" restaurant close to the Eiffel Tower and our Uber driver took us there instead of this
This used to be our favorite place for escargot.
And I will say it's still fantastic escargot. However my husband got turbot this last time (a white fish) it was not cooked through. Unlike salmon and other fish - white fish needs to be cooked through so that it flakes and is not rubbery. When
Great French restaurant in Paris.
Very old world French. Michelin one star Maison Ducasse. We had the special which was a veal porterhouse. It was pretty amazing. I would have to recommend the cassoulet and of course the profiteroles was a great dessert. Excellent wine list and amazi
No way Michelin star.
Horrible food. How can a French restaurant have bad pastries. Profiterole pastry nasty and chocolate cold. Milleflure had 1 layer!!! Tasted like toast. Ridiculous.
Horrible service for Michelin restaurant.
Servers weren't well trained (some were confused) and rude. I tried to record them doing the garnish on my dish and the guy yelled at me telling to put my phone away. That ruined the dining experience. Food wise, it's pretty good French fo

I went to this restaurant in 2023 with my girlfriend for lunch and had a mixed experience (Just now created a Yelp!). The restaurant's aesthetics were very quaint and charming but some of the dishes were not really what we were expecting. For t
Great experience overall
The service was excellent and fun to experience. The food was of high quality and some of it was delicious. Some could be improved. They were knowledgeable about gluten free needs and had several options.
Belle ĂŠpoque style
Classic traditional bistro style with dishes of historic standards with an eye on nuanced creative touches. Wine to induce a discerning taste to explore with the help of the young, enthusiastic wine steward. Tables are close which can lead to convers
Highly priced superior bistro food
Traditional bistro menu but elevated cooking with elegant service. The patĂŠ en croute excellent and we shared the turbot (had decided to anyway but quite an upsell from the waiter). It was good (the beurre blanc even better) but I suspect the turb
Upscale traditional bistro, worth the Michelin star.
Upscale traditional bistro. Blood pudding was a flavorful standout. Very pretty ambiance in a historical building. Overall the food was slightly disappointing for a Michelin star restaurant, indistinguishable from a hundred other bistros in Paris. Se
Good execution
Traditional menu with good execution, service was efficient and ambience was charming. That said, just couldnât find anything particularly memorable about our dinner. You canât go wrong here but you wonât hit it out of the park either ;)
Had a reservation for 9:45pm.
They cancelled as we walked up saying "kitchen closed at 9:00pm." Maybe update your own booking platform? Just a suggestion. 0 stars.
Good but not Great
The staff was friendly and attentive. Like some of the other reviews we found the food good, but not exceptional. My daughter couldnât eat her filet of beef because it was so tough and tasteless. My wife found her sea bass fair but didnât fini
Incredible food, remarkable service.
Everything you'd expect from a Michelin star restaurant. We will be back for sure!
Sorry but not holding up - the Cassoulet is tired - BENOIT
Sorry but not holding up - the Cassoulet is tired - BENOIT NYC is surprisingly better - staff lovely here - some dishes quite good but CASSOULET in Paris? Try a bit more?
Great inside, beautifully decorated.
Food was pretty great and uniquely made! Service was also very wonderful. Everyone was super nice!
Authentic French cuisine in Paris
I visited Paris first time with my husband, have been recommended from friend who live in Paris that Benoit is one of the very great restaurants to visit. I have lunch menu, includes starter , main and desserts. All dishes were so delicious. Friend
Nothing works in this âinstitutionâ
Benoit supposed to be an institution. Based on the last year Allard experience, which was superb, we came relaxed and being sure that at least we would have nice lunch. To summarize: nothing was not even close to what would you expect from a no name

So disappointed. Came for mother in laws birthday, which was mentioned in the notes. They never brought it up and did nothing for it. I left a folio that contained $2400 along with visas and vaccination cards. They admitted to finding it the same ev

This restaurant has a Michellin star so it has the excellent service you'd expect. You will need to reserve a spot - I don't think they were accepting walkins (on the weekday lunch I went to). I got their lunch special, which had a starter main and

Michelin starred Alain Ducasse restaurant, so when in Paris, you have to try. Food was classic french bistro. Honestly, a little underwhelming in comparison to other highly rated fresh bistros, particularly when you compare against Michelin star plac
Honestly such a meh experience.
The restaurant is cute, very traditional French. They offer an extensive wine list and their sommelier is really knowledgeable/helpful. The food itself was just ok - the escargot was good, but nothing special. Same goes for the fish of the day for 2
Had a lovely time here.
Service was great and everyone was super attentive. I asked for recs and was recommended to try the black pudding, which I've never had before. It was pretty delicious and definitely unexpected. It was super crispy on the outside, which I loved and w
Amazing dinner.
.. escargot was delicious as was the cassoulet!! Service was excellent! Highly recommend!
Went here on the recommendation of a friend.
Were not disappointed. Classic French bistro. 1 Michelin star. Been around since 1912 and now owned by Alain Ducasse. What more could you want? You should know that it is classic in every way, you go in knowing those are the dishes they'll serve. We
Seriously? Why such low rating? Benoit is here since 1912,
Seriously? Why such low rating? Benoit is here since 1912, then acquired and managed by Alain Ducasse since 2022 and boasts a one Michelin star. This is a quintessential French bistro and I guess if you don't like classic French fare, you should not
Good, not great.
Not sure why this place is a Michelin star restaurant. Ordered 6 pieces of escargot as an appetizer and 3 of them were empty... just seasoning inside. Overall the food was very average in comparison to the places around it and I'm unsure why this pla
Party of 4, looked to be first seating.
I gave it 2 stars because it was accommodating to a gluten free member of my party, and some of the food was very good (the sweetbreads and the half calves head). The steak was probably just as good as you could do at home. The wine was very reasonab
Having eaten at a number of Michelin starred
Having eaten at a number of Michelin starred establishments, I can honestly say this was the first one to really disappoint. Food was serviceable, and since this is a bistro themed restaurant, it is not meant to be inventive. Nothing was outstanding
A truly amazing experience
Booked a table at Benoit following a recommendation from my cousin whoâs a professionally trained chef. We werenât disappointed. A truly memorable lunch with the poudin noir and apple with mash and pig juice being the highlight of my visit to Par
Consistently brilliant
We try to visit Benoit every time we are in Paris, and are never disappointed. They maintain consistently high standards. The setting is authentically Parisian, without being flashy or gimmicky. The staff are charming and efficient. But above all it
One of the best out there.....
I tried Benoit on the recommendation of a friend. It did not disappoint. Incredible food and service and yes, the wine selection is second to none.
Warm & cozy place, with excellent food
Each time we're in Paris we go to Benoit. Out of all Ducasse places this is probably one of the easiest to book, and it pays off
Super cute and authentic Michelin star restaurant located
Super cute and authentic Michelin star restaurant located in the heart of Paris. Generous portions and very affordable compared to other restaurants of Michelin caliber. Service was very attentive and the dinning is more of an experience than for the
We love Paris and especially the food.
We have Spent a lot of time here and especially enjoy an occasional Michelin-star treatOn Sunday, we tried Benoit. Sadly, it was disappointing on several levels. This started with the condescending and rude server who refused to let me order the dai
Honestly really unimpressed for the price of this place.
Was really a weird uncomfortable vibe from the staff too like haughty but the food wasn't even good and the server only recommended me like 6 different bottles of wine that were $150 - 300 and said vague things about them? Really didn't even listen t
Connect with users posting reservations for Benoit Paris
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Benoit Paris. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Benoit Paris at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Benoit Paris page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Benoit Paris to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Benoit Paris!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
