Les Quatre Saisons 사계절 — Restaurant in Paris

Korean food in Paris today is available pretty much everywhere. Additionally, and surprisingly, it's pretty good no matter where you go and, the prices are normally pretty reasonable.

So myself and a buddy came to Les Quatre Saisons because it was in the middle between where we both lived. Additionally, he chose this place because there was an offer on "The Fork" for 30% off on the menu.

First notable mention goes to the difficulty in finding the place. It seems that it's part of a larger building, tucked away on the first floor near the back, we spent 5/7 minutes searching the area for it.

Once we made it to the restaurant, it was pretty much empty, there was one additional table but beyond that we had the restaurant to ourselves, save the people in the Karaoke room - I didn't know they had Karaoke!

The menu. Well I'm not sure if they have a menu which is priced differently than the normal menu but this place was EXPENSIVE. All starters were minimum 12€. Imagine, 8 raviolis for 12 euros! Plates were more reasonably priced at 15€. In the end we effectively paid double what we would've paid at almost any other Korean restaurant of similar caliber.

Food quality was correct but again, I want to say there was nothing exceptional about the food when compared to any other Korean restaurant.

The staff were great though so nothing wrong there. Until they fix the pricing, I wouldn't...

Server was very kind and welcoming. Food was okay - edible but not what I was expecting of korean food. 100% tasted like it was made for French tastes (saltier, richer than usual, not spicy or sour). I got kimchi jigae and asked the server if it was spicy and sour (that's what I wanted) and she told me it would be very spicy. The kimchi knives tasted like doenjang jigae with a few shakes of chili flakes, it was even orange instead of the usual red color. Banchan were decent, rice was mushy. Very disappointing but edible. I would not recommend this restaurant. Not...

Bon accueil, la serveuse est très souriante et aimable. Les plats sont bons, plutôt goutus. L'entrée au porc, tofu kimchi était très bonne. La galette de kimchi, elle, était assez différente de ce qu'on a l'habitude de manger chez les autres coréens mais très bien. Le bimbipap avec 6 minuscules morceaux de poulet était ridicule mais heureusement le plat était très bon. Pas contre, beaucoup d'attente entre le moment où nous sommes arrivés, le moment où l'on vient prendre la commande et celui où on nous sert juste les boissons, il s'est passé en tout 40 min. Nous sommes restés 2h dans le resto juste avec entrée et plat. Apparemment un problème en cuisine avec le riz mais attention à ne pas servir le plat de l'autre en attendant. On voulait tester ce resto car proche de chez moi et avec une grosse promo The Fork, ça vaut le coup. Par contre, pour la localisation, pas simple à trouver à la base, mais avec les travaux, c'est un délire 😅 Attention aux odeurs désagréables d'égouts dans la première partie du resto, ça donne pas...
