Le Sébillon — Restaurant in Arrondissement of Nanterre

Absolutely recommend this place. If you are in the city please come here. I don’t usually write reviews but this place was everything I was looking for in a perfect casual dinner in Paris and felt compelled to write one.

Appetizers 5/5 Escargot: Smooth and velvety with delicious herb butter

Sea Bream Tartare: Very inspired dish, they use citrus to cut through the buttery and rich bream.

Beef Bone Marrow: Perfect level of richness, they provide a salt which complements it well. Serves on crunchy butter toast.

Mains 5/5 Beef Tenderloin: Asked for medium rare, not many steakhouses serve one as spot on the temperature. Frites were crispy on the outside and

Leg of Lamb: Carved fresh tableside, all you can eat. We were encouraged to eat more at the end but were already stuffed!

Service 5/5 Our waiter spoke perfect English, was funny, and very hospitable. Quite rare...

The concierge suggested this place for our 15th wedding anniversary. We had lunch here. The place wasn’t cramped (which is always the case in Paris). The manager was friendly and warm (again, not always the case in Paris).

I had the set menu of oysters, fish, and “floating island” dessert (which I think is akin to Baked Alaska).

My wife had the octopus and profiteroles (was good too, but to be honest, the one in Closerie des Lilas was better).

We ordered the burger steak and frites for our son from the kid’s menu - and this was FREE. Yes, free for those under 3 years old (or 6 years old) I think? And the portion was generous. This is where Sebillon impressed us. Most restaurants in Paris don’t offer food for kids, and if they do, it isn’t free.

Service was fast. Staff was good. Food was delicious. Yes, it is expensive but if for special occasions, then...

Sebillon is an institution; That should suffice, but they are not complacent with the standing. From the minute you enter the place you feel welcome, attended, your desires taken into consideration, they take care of your overcoat and inquire what type of table you would prefer, inside on the terrace? The À la cart menu is extensive but surprisingly affordable : Oysters are a plenty, Different sizes, different origins, And of course, the high point is the “gigot” Served from a silver and mahogany rolling table, you can choose how you like it cooked, and you can re-order as many times as you wish. To top it all, SERVICE is outstanding and we were lucky to be attended by Quentin, Who went the extra mile to make sure we were 100% satisfied. Only possible conclusion: WE...
