CHEZ MILO — Restaurant in Paris

An Absolutely Impeccable French Culinary Journey! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My recent dinner at this restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. From the ambiance to the service, and most importantly, the food, every detail was perfect. It was a truly authentic and luxurious French experience.

We started with the Escargots de Bourgogne. They were sublime! The snails were incredibly tender, not at all rubbery, and baked in the most exquisite garlic and parsley butter. The aroma alone was heavenly, and we used the warm, crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that magnificent sauce. A classic dish executed flawlessly.

Next came the French Onion Soup. This was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. Deeply flavorful, rich, and savory, with a profound sweetness from the caramelized onions. It was topped with a thick, beautifully browned layer of gruyère cheese that stretched for miles. Absolute perfection in a bowl.

For the main course, I had the Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb with French Fries. The lamb was cooked to a perfect medium-rare – incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The herb crust provided a wonderful aromatic crunch. The "French Fries" were a delightful surprise; thin, crisp, golden, and perfectly salted. They were the ideal, indulgent companion to the luxurious lamb.

We also shared the Moules Marinières. The pot was brimming with plump, fresh mussels in a creamy, white wine, garlic, and herb broth that was so delicious, I could have drunk it by the spoonful. Again, more bread was essential to enjoy every last bit of that incredible sauce.

This meal was a masterpiece from start to finish. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, perfectly pacing our courses. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. It is a must-visit for anyone seeking a genuine and world-class French dining experience. We will definitely be...

A complete tourist trap. This place has nothing in common with an Italian restaurant, no matter how you look at it. The dishes are cheap imitations of the original. The onion soup is a prime example. It's definitely the worst we had in Paris, and the worst we've ever had. It's a vague broth, probably made from some pre-made cube, with onion slices and something pretending to be croutons. I won't even mention the lack of Gruyère cheese, but even if it were there, it would probably burn with embarrassment swimming in that broth. Add to that the astronomical price of 20 euros for a Pizza Margherita (probably the highest price in all of Paris), and all this just to offer a virtual 50% discount through The Fork and perhaps other platforms. It wouldn't be a problem – it's the owner's strategy to double the prices to give a 50% discount on the entire menu, but let these dishes represent something. We ate four different dishes, and all four were a complete waste of our time and money. It was the worst place we ate in Paris, and we've been here for a month and eat almost every day at bistros, restaurants, and other places in different neighborhoods. They were all either good or excellent. This place is simply a huge mistake that should disappear from the culinary map of this city as soon as possible. Don't be fooled. There are hundreds of other places in Paris with discounts that will...

The food is ok, the best plate is a steak with fries, while plates like the pasta and pizza are OK. I wouldn't leave this review if it wasn't for the bad service. We (3 people) had a reservation for 12:30, we got there, and we had to sit in different tables, as there were no tables available for all of us to sit together. There was a couple next to us, which if the waiters gave a single bit of attention would put into another table for 2 so me and my family could sit together. Not only that but they were rude, while we all asked nicely for everything. We weren't the only ones which had bad service, there were about 3 groups waiting outside (with reservation) while lots of others who also had reservations just left as there were no tables instead of waiting. There are definitely better places to eat, considering it's near nothing aside from the station nearby. If you're going here, you're probably going/went to the museum, there are better places nearby. The prices aren't bad though, so at least that.

TL;DR: Eat somewhere else if you don't want to get stressed out, the food there isn't...
