Le Valois — Restaurant in Paris

Had a mocktail here with a friend and let me tell you: it wasn‘t good. We had the Iced Mint and another one with pinapple. When the drinks arrived I felt like I was at a kiddy birthday party. They were served with those firework-type of candles and a side of secondhand embarrassement from all the people around us. When the light show in our drinks was over and I was able to take a sip of the neon colored drink filled with two tonnes of ice, I was definitely not suprised that it tasted the way it looked: like crap with a hint of artificial sweeters. We left our half full drinks on the table and left with a sugar rush and disappointment.

I am an adult and do not drink alcohol and that is why I ordered a mocktail. I really wish they‘d thought about that possibility and served me a decent non-kiddy drink like that. Felt like I was 10 years old drinking a sugary drink at the pool on a summer family vacation. Not the vibe I was...

Went to this place to try fondue specifically after I read some reviews, praising it. Was rather disappointed by the overall experience. The restaurant was cold and felt more like a bar than somewhere you'd go to eat. Staff were trying to be friendly, but we had to ask for the bill three times in the end and it wasn't that busy. The food was quite mediocre and we had the unfortunate 'luck' of seeing inside the kitchen, where everyone was handling things with their bare hands after leaving the premises on multiple occasions to smoke outside... Not hygienic at all and it really put me off the food. In terms of the fondue itself, it was nice but I'd argue half of the portion is enough for 2 people. There were also too many potatoes included per person and the bread felt stale. Overall, I would unfortunately not recommend this place as it was a disappointment after many other pleasant food visits to other restaurants...

Loved the experience! I xemt with some friends yesterday, first to the bar part, then to the restaurant part.

The bar part is great, the music is tasteful and groovy, the cocktails are varied and at a great price, the staff is lovely. I got a rhum grog (because I was so cold haha) and the anesthesié (a rhume cocktail 😋) and I loved both!

The restaurant part is great too. I got a raclette (cheese that is heated up to get it to put on potatoes and charcuterie basically) and I am so happy about that!!! Best last minute decision to go eat there. We were lucky to get a table for 3. Only downside was that we had a table next to the door and one person on staff always forgot to close the door, I can tell you that because of the winter cold I didn't appreciate that.

But besides that lovely time at Le Valois! Would completely...
