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.

4 months agoWe had a lovely dinner there on Saturday night. Excellent food and their staff members are efficient and helpful. Hostesses were really nice as well and went out of their way to help me with my child. Every dish was fantastic! I really enjoyed my steak tartar. We will be coming back to dine there again.

2 months agoA restaurant with a tradition spanning over 140 years, it has undergone various transformations depending on changes in ownership. Today, it holds the Michelin recommendation status, aligning with its current reach. Offering a correct and quality French classical cuisine with a few interesting excursions, using high-quality ingredients and staff who are courteous and well-educated. Noteworthy dishes include scallops wrapped in spinach parcels on cauliflower puree with a carpaccio of fresh cauliflower. The redesigned Mont Blanc dessert features a prominent clementine sorbet that complements the delicate flavor of chestnut puree. It presents an upscaled version of a French bistro deserving a spot on the list!

6 months agoDining at this restaurant was probably the best decision ever! The service was absolutely lovely, the food was amazing, I can‘t even begin to describe it. The restaurant is very classy, but not uptight. If you‘re looking for an affordable fine dining restaurant with good service, this is it! As soon as we get back to Paris, we‘ll definitely pay them another visit!

7 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.
