Les Canailles — Restaurant in Paris

Amazing meal and gracious staff. A cozy, cheery place for fine dining, at a reasonable price, on a cold night. They fortunately had an opening at 9:30 pm (we were a party of two who showed up without reservations at 9). Reservations probably lot needed in general, I suspect. We had the set meal options (limited choice of dish options) — one of us had the 3-course option, Entree+Plat+Dessert, for 37E, and the other just the Entree+Plat option for a bit less — this worked out well for us, as the dessert was plenty enough for two to share. They also have a regular menu with other dishes. Fresh ingredients, expertly prepared and presented, with friendly, attentive service. Menu changes often. On the night we dined, the set meal had 4 options for appetizers (“entrees”), from which we chose the seared tuna, and the carrot soup with shrimp. From the 4 options for the mains (“plats”) we picked the seared scallops with cauliflower (chunks of cauliflower, plus a delicious purée of same), and the rum steak (like a medallion of beef) accompanied by grilled leeks and fancy tater tots (puréed potato filling, crispy exterior sprinkled with sea salt). I am usually vegetarian so my partner had most of the scallops, while I ate most of the potato tots, but what I had was still amazing and filling. For dessert we picked a plate with a trio of hazelnut ice cream, mousse, and chocolate ganache-type dessert. And, they even gave us two petite truffles and caramelized cookies (likely a standard complimentary finisher). We left very full and happy. Check their opening hours as we had seen it closed on the previous evening (Thurs) when we thought it might be open then. Besides this Pigalle location, they have another in...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a charming French restaurant in the heart of Paris that left me absolutely enchanted. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to a world of culinary delights and exquisite ambiance.

The atmosphere was a perfect blend of elegance and coziness, with soft candlelight casting a warm glow over the beautifully set tables. The service was impeccable, and the staff's knowledge of the menu and wine selection was truly impressive.

But what truly stole the show was the food. Every dish that graced our table was a masterpiece, a symphony of flavors that danced on the palate. The menu showcased the finest French cuisine, and each bite was a revelation. From the silky, rich foie gras to the perfectly seared duck breast, every dish was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication.

The wine list was a treasure trove of exceptional French wines, perfectly complementing the meal. And of course, the delectable dessert options were the perfect finale to our culinary journey.

In summary, this restaurant provided an unforgettable dining experience. It was a culinary adventure that truly blew us away, a taste explosion that will linger in our memories for years to come. If you find yourself in Paris and seek an extraordinary dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. It's a place where joy and gastronomic excellence come together in...

I'm writing this review in English to make sure it's understood by as many people as possible:

Dining at Les Canailles was the best French dining experience I've ever had. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant team was passionate and confident about their service and dishes, everything. Their down-to-earth dedication took my breath away. The restaurant foreman inspected his territory like a general. He led us into seats, then we ordered two bottles of wine and were served two sets of glasses. After one bottle was finished, the empty bottle and one set of glasses were immediately removed, and no one of the five present even noticed this!

As for the food, there's simply no need to mention the perfection of cooking, the ingenuity of sauces, everything was unparalleled. There were things like the aromatic veal tongue and veal heart, seasonal fresh fish that I've never tasted before, and so much more. I'm pretty sure this could easily be sold for close to double the price at other restaurants, but once again, Les Canailles convinced me with their graciousness and generosity.

There is no doubt that Les Canailles will gain an even bigger success, and I very much hope that all could be maintained in the future. I will always be a loyal customer and support it in...
