The prestigious Goncourt Book Prize has been awarded in this mythical establishment since 1914 and the Renaudot since 1926! Meticulously revamped, the smart brasserie interior now provides a backdrop for traditional French staples (pork pie, vol-au-vent), together with more inventive creations. The wine list has also been dusted off by an MOF sommelier.

a month agoThis restaurant is a beautiful setting, with excellent food and service. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. It does not have a bar but you are seated when you arrive and can order drinks from the table. An excellent experience a must when visiting Paris

11 months agoThis was my second trip to this restaurant because a friend who I respect had raved about it and I thought my first visit, for lunch, was very average. So I thought I’d give them a second try. Unfortunately what I’ll remember most about this restaurant was, first, the arrogance with which we were treated by the captain who seems not to understand that making customers feel welcome is the most important thing a restaurant can do and, second, the lack of competence he and his staffed demonstrated. I visited many better places in this trip where the food and service excelled and at Drouant neither does. The restaurant is nice in a residential neighborhood and serves a classic French menu. The service is spotty and often we had to make the same request several times. We also heard other tables doing the same. Sometimes the captain acknowledged our request and did nothing, like ordering a glass of wine with our meal which, after multiple requests, came at the end of our meal. The food was OK, heavy, somewhat salty, and certainly not up to snuff for what is considered a good French restaurant. The fried shrimp were just that. The vol au vant was heavy, salty, had little shrimp and was a disappointment. All in all a real disappointment, twice. I felt no connection to this place, and would not return or recommend it.
