Le Gentil — Restaurant in Paris

A little French restaurant with japanese inspiration next to the rue Saint Dominique.

The resto seems to set itself as mid-range. The price is around 50 euros per person (dishes + drinks), which is not expensive in the city center. The taste is interesting since the seasoning is obviously japanese style. But the raw materials are rather mediocre. The entrées are really surprised me for it's texture and flavor.

We feel so lucky we came across this gem of a restaurant!...

Paris, especially by the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe, seems to be full of restaurants that have no qualms taking advantage of the ignorance of wandering tourists - charging exorbitant amounts for meals with a location based premium. This is not one of those places. Just 15 minutes from the Eiffel Tower tucked away on a quiet side street, this intimate family owned restaurant offers a delicious 3 course lunch for just €26. With just one person in the kitchen and fewer than 10 tables, the quality and speed of the dishes offered was beyond my expectations. The owner/host was very kind, and they were very accommodating of allergies/intolerances. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and looking for...
