Le Grand Pan — Restaurant in Paris

Dined here for our last night in Paris. Nice hidden gem in the 15th away from all the tourists. Great ambiance, I would recommend this for couples or a group of friends who want to have a good meal together. We ordered the côte de bœuf for the main course, only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 because my expectation was just too high. The steak itself was just ok nothing special, it was a little tough to be frank even cooked at medium rare. I was kinda disappointed, the steak knives were also giving me a hard time cutting throught the steak. Price is not as high as other establishments in Paris: 3 glasses of wine, 1 entrée, 1 main course for €105. Didn't take a picture of the octupus tentacle, that was cooked to perfection by the way. Side dishes were delicious even though they were a basic salad and potatoe wedges. Would not hesitate to try the other things...

Lovely little gem tucked away on a quiet street. We had reservations (seems like a necessity) for my birthday dinner. The restaurant is crowded like all really good restaurants in Paris but we didn’t mind a bit. The wait staff were kindly patient with us, explaining the menu and what they are known for - the rib steaks. Unfortunately they were out of the veal so we opted for the beef. A huge (maybe 2”?) rib steak done very rare with accompanying frites and salad for 2 to share. We also had two appetizers, octopus on puréed cauliflower and small shrimp on celeriac. Both very nicely done. A chocolate cake finished off dinner. Not bad but pretty much a chocolate lava cake that everyone at home is...

Highly Recommend. I had a great and satisfying French dining experience. The food was a highlight, I ordered a flavourful, rustic terrine paired perfectly with crusty bread and tangy pickles, followed by tender, well-cooked beef accompanied by truly excellent, crispy French fries. A great selection of wine pairings was available.

The service was efficient and friendly, creating a relaxed and unhurried dining experience. The servers were friendly, kind and patient as they were explaining the items in their menu to me (non-French speaker).

The atmosphere felt like a welcoming neighbourhood restaurant, unpretentious and authentic.

ps: this restaurant might be a gem if it...
