Le Percolateur — Restaurant in Paris

My husband and I recently dined at Le Percolateur with modest expectations, but unfortunately, the meal fell far short.

For starters, we ordered the chicken liver pâté and cod tartare. These were decent—fairly flavorful and well-presented, though nothing extraordinary.

The main courses, however, were a disaster. I ordered the steak medium rare, but it arrived completely well-done. When I sent it back, the kitchen returned it medium-well at best—still overcooked. Worse yet, the meat was tough, gristly, and full of sinew, making it nearly inedible. At this point, it became painfully clear why this restaurant lost its Michelin star after 2018.

My husband’s roast spring chicken was no better—dry, chewy, and utterly lacking in flavor. It was hard to believe we were eating the same dish described on the menu.

For €48 per person, this meal was absolutely not worth it. Save your money and avoid this place—there are far better dining...

The menu is very creative We had a delicious gazpacho with feta cheese…outstanding. Followed up with their signature dish WHISMAPSOSE Whisky Maple Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil It was fantastic, best ordered on the rarer side. My companion had risotto with baby spinach, ricotta cheese and pine nuts. They have an excellent selection of wines, hard alcohol is available too. When I was there, I didn’t feel like drinking, so they made me a Panachè. Two thirds beer, one third lemonade. I loved it, it’s become my new drink! For dessert we had a very good crème brulèe and a superb panna cotta. Your hosts are the Madamour brothers, David and Philippe. The ambience is warm and welcoming. And the restaurant itself has a modern look. Make sure to see the antique Percolateurs that are...

We arrived little early but the manager invited us to seat and start with drinks while they were getting ready. Enjoyable, relaxing, definitely is not for kids or casual(shorts, flip/flops) dressing. There is an ATM machine a block down from the restaurant but don’t worry, they accept credit cards.

Food wise, my appetizer chicken liver/pate was excellent. I am not a organ eater but I figure, why not give a chance? ... and glad I did, because it was delicious! My main dish was Salmon with maple syrup glaze, the salmon’s peculiar taste and the sweetness of of maple syrup was very enjoyable to my pallet, plus the way they cooked the rice gave this dish a wonderful...
