Sélune — Restaurant in Paris

I don't like to leave bad reviews but I feel like all of the good reviews on this page misled me to reserve dinner here. We had a less than mediocre experience and food on a Friday night and I would not recommend this restaurant unfortunately.

The ambiance in the evening is not charming or cozy at all - incredibly bright lights on, bad music playing, and an unprofessional overly casual service vibe.

For the food, I ordered a broccoli appetizer and thought it would be a warm soup like dish - instead it was cold (colder than room temp) and not delicious. It is rainy and chilly in Paris so this being a cold dish is not seasonably appropriate at all.

The kitchen sent out the wrong main course for two of us which we sent back - only 2 minutes later we received the duck we ordered. Probably the worst duck I have ever received in a restaurant. It was barely warm, very very tough, and it was served with tomatoes which had no flavor. Nearly inedible. If we were not having a celebration, I would have sent it back but did not want to create a fuss.

The dessert was also disappointing. The madeleines were good but not the best i've ever had, perhaps even a touch over cooked. And there was barely enough chocolate that came with them.

Overall a huge disappointment and I wish I had...

I have now been to Selune several times while visiting Paris and it has always been the most amazing experience. The service, the atmosphere and the wines are top notch. But the food is especially unique. Every dish I tried has made me discover new french ingredients, with a special twist around some from the coastline of Normandy (where the chef is originally from). I can only recommend stopping for lunch or dinner. I can easily say this has become one of my favorite...

We had dinner here yesterday, cute place, nice wine and very nice service. But the food was all together not very inspiring and of mediocre creativity and quality. For starter with trout was quite nice, but the main dishes (lamb and pulpo) were mediocre in terms of combinations of ingredients and flavours and not worth the premium price asked, better restaurants around for this...
