La Cantine de Samuel — Restaurant in Paris

The experience at this restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag. While the food itself was well cooked and nicely presented, several details left us disappointed.

First, the prices listed on the official website were noticeably lower than the actual prices at the restaurant. This was frustrating and felt a bit misleading. On top of that, we were hoping to try the menu du jour, but were told it wasn’t available — with no alternatives suggested. Unfortunately, we only found this out after we had already ordered drinks.

Another issue was with the water. We asked for a carafe d’eau (as is common in France), but were brought — and charged for — a bottle of still water instead. It’s hard not to feel like this happened because we were tourists.

As for the food, everything was cooked well and looked great, but in our opinion, every dish was missing a bit of salt. Of course, that’s a personal taste thing, but it was consistent across all plates.

Overall, this could have been a really good experience. With a more up-to-date website, a quick heads-up about unavailable items, and more honest service around things like water, it would have made a...

Very nice French restaurant. Friendly owner and staff, good French food Parisian style :simple fresh ingredients with a twist. I had onglet with truffle mas potatoes it was really nice perfectly cooked meat and beautiful ash. My friend had pasta it definitely did the trick.

Expérience vraiment super sympa tant sur l'accueil, le cadre, l'assiette et l'addition. Sans faute. L'accueil de Samuel est parfait plein de petites attentions qui rendent le moment magique, un accueil chaleureux à l'image du lieu qui est joli tout en étant sobre et convivial. Dans l'assiette je ne trouve pas que les quantités soient petites comme d'autres commentaires, quand on peut avoir cette qualité de saveurs, entrée plat demi-dessert à 30€ pp, je dis MERCI. Nous étions 4, avons pris une belle bouteille (toutes sont très bonnes et bien notées sur Vivino, le Margaux à 42€ était divin), nous n'avons pas tout fini ; tout était savoureux, le foie gras, les ravioles, le poulet du jour, les pennes carbonara, qqch façon risotto, ils ont une Pata Negra qui relève admirablement les plats ; l'assiette de charcuterie était plus "normale" mais dans tous les cas qqch vous fera frétiller ; bref, merci et c'est une adresse sûre et en or. Soyez sûrs de réserver, un petit coup de fil est c'est une soirée exquise en vue !...
