The service here was the only highlight of our experience. Our waitress was friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the evening, which we really appreciated. However, everything else left a lot to be desired.
We were seated at the large table prominently featured on their website. While it looks great, it’s incredibly impractical. Anytime someone seated in the middle against the wall needed to get up, the entire group had to shuffle around to let them out.
On top of that, making the reservation was a hassle. My friend had to call eight times during their opening hours, with no answer. In the end, he had to go in person just to confirm the booking, which is unacceptable for a restaurant at this price point.
As for the food, it was overpriced and underwhelming. We ordered the Shawarma Salon (€27), which featured dry marinated chicken, barely any hummus, and a small Mediterranean salad. It felt like assembling mini sandwiches that were unsatisfying, especially for the price. Honestly, it wasn’t worth more than €10. The carpaccio (€16) tasted fine but was tiny and lacked any wow factor. For dessert, my girlfriend tried the ganache au chocolat, which was average at best.
The wines were the worst part. We tried five different reds, ranging from €33-45+. The cheapest one was just okay, but the rest were terrible—some of the worst wines we’ve had. Everyone at the table complained about both the wine and the portion sizes.
Overall, it feels like this restaurant is riding on its online popularity, with inflated prices and declining quality. Unless you’re willing to pay a lot for very little and value atmosphere over substance, I wouldn’t recommend it. Two stars, solely for the...
Read moreI’ve visited this place twice. The first time, I’ve been there it was for lunch and I really appreciated everything! The food was good and tasty even if it is a little bit too expensive. The waiter (the tallest guy) was really kind and tried to take care of all the customers. After that, I’ve decided to show this place at a friend, letting him know that it may be part of the best places I’ve been in 2019. Yesterday at Salōn Marais was a great disappointment to me! The food was still great but the thing that I want to highlight is the waiter’s behavior (this waiter is different from the first one). If he has never seen you or does not know you (it looks like a lot of his friends were visiting the restaurant yesterday), he’ll not spend some time with you to explain you the menu or even ask if everything is ok. And, please, if you don’t drink alcool don’t ask for an alcohol-free cocktail, he’ll definitely not appreciate it! Pretty weird for a restaurant where the purpose is to satisfy customers. After payement, he has been totally disrespectful for not saying bye. In their website, they’ve written ‘every guest who enters the Salōn must leave with a smile on his face!‘. None of that has been respected! I’m giving at least 2 stars for Ben who was the first waiter when I came for a lunch. But I’ll definitely not go back at Salōn Marais and if you want to spend a great time, there are plenty of restaurants at Le Marais where waiters will not...
Read moreSalon is a truly unique yet authentic Greek restaurant that offers delicacies from the wonderful mediteranian country that will leave you delighted.
We ordered many of their plates for sharing and from someone who have had greek food in Greece and everywhere else around the globe, salon offered delicious, balanced and fresh plates that will leave you wanting to come back for a greek fix when around the city center of Paris.
The customer service was super friendly and prompt and caters really well to foreigners who don't necessarily speak much French which is a huge plus for the international travelers visiting the city and looking for an authentic yet innovative greek dinning experience.
We went there for lunch with a bigger group of friends and had made a reservation prior to coming which is always recommended especially when visiting with a bigger group, as the space is a bit on the cosy side.
We were seated at a somehow private dining area and just made our entire experience the more special and memorable.
One of our friends who dined with us actually lives in Paris and said that this place is truly a hidden gem and deserves a visit or more, be it by locals or visitors to...
