Derrière — Restaurant in Paris

Had brunch here and the starter/dessert buffet blew us away. They somehow are able to simultaneously have an incredibly wide selection while also maintaining extremely high quality for each and every item. From smoked salmon, to chocolate mousse, brownies, cream pastries, fruits, cheesecake, etc... everything was outstanding. Each individual item could easily have come from a top-rated local specialty shop and they had them all out on a buffet and we ate until our stomach simply refused to take any more.

Of course, they also offered a hot dish as part of the brunch bundle. I chose gamba risotto, which was also great, but it's spotlight was definitely stolen by the buffet. Service and atmosphere were also wonderful. Overall an incredible value for the flat €45 rate.

Update: Went back for standard lunch which was an absolutely incredible value for €30. For that price, I would have been happy with the insanely delicious lamb entree alone but it also included a decent salmon starter and an amazing cheesecake. As an extra cherry on top, the butter provided with the bread was also extremely well presented.

The decor upstairs and the post card they give you are also great light-hearted additions very fitting of the...

I ate dinner here seven years ago on a solo trip to Paris and knew I wanted to go again the next time I was back! My husband and I had dinner here and the food was absolutely incredible, as was our waiter. He was extremely kind and personable and gave us great recommendations when we weren't quite sure what we wanted to order. It was one of the few restaurants we found in Paris that actually had a few vegetarian options (although not vegan). The French onion soup was the best I've ever had. It's a very quirky, fun restaurant that looks like a retro house inside and there's a ping pong table in the middle. We were sitting right by the ping pong table and I will say that after a while it got a bit annoying to constantly have ping pong balls landing by our feet (a father and very young girl about 4 years old were playing for quite a while, so not a lot of control of the ball!), but we just decided to have fun with it and didn't let it get to us. The upstairs is very interesting and unique; I recommend having a look when you go up for the toilet! Overall this was a great experience and we will definitely be back again the next time...

Amazingly tasty food, worth every cent - Don’t miss the salmon with beetroot and the snails with bacon. Chef was extremely accommodating - we had requested for the beef to be modified after it was sent out and she came out to check if it was acceptable, so kind and friendly! Very edgy decor, interesting atmosphere, nice vibe - there was even a ping pong table in the centre. However, service can be improved tremendously - floor manager appeared stressed and at many times this came across as sheer indignation and arrogance, perhaps because the restaurant was rather understaffed e.g. she seemed unhappy and somewhat chided us when we requested for the meat to be recooked when it was the waiter who miscommunicated the doneness to the kitchen to begin with & when we walked up to her personally to order a few desserts because we were struggling to get the attention of any waiter for 10-15 minutes, she turned us away. Perhaps, this experience was just unique to our table but thought to share nevertheless. Overall, great food by a lovely chef but still rude service by floor manager left a sour taste...
