Authentic Stories from Diners
One of our favorite experiences in Paris thus far. Food was incredible! Our group of four people left nothing behind on our plates. We also absolutely loved the chocolate lava cake. We will be having dreams about that dessert! The foie gras with the fig jam + pink peppercorns… will also be in my dreams at night. Highly recommend!
Highly personal and traditional French dining experience. The food is fantastic and the service is excellent. Wide variety of food and wine/cocktails. The food was a farm to table type experience. You cannot go wrong with any item in this restaurant. I do recommend a reservation.
Exquisite dinner, modern relaxed atmosphere. Not the cheapest place but certainly enjoyed more vegetables with my meal than I have ever been served in Paris before, which was very welcome. I tried the snails which were very delicious (and didn’t look like snails at all 😅) which I would recommend. It was a special place for a special occasion and we enjoyed our evening and food very much. Make sure you book if you want to ensure you get a table. The service is fairly quick so there may be more than 1 or even 2 sittings so you might be lucky. Family friendly if you can afford to take the whole family.
I have been wanting to dine here for some time. We finally did on December 20. We sat upstairs and it was a great environment. Our server was fantastic and attentive. The foie gras French toast was outstanding! I can’t stop talking about it! All of our dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! The wine list is remarkably well priced. It was one of the finest, if not the finest, meals and experiences that I have had in my 6 or 7 trips to Paris. I have been recommending it to friends ever since. We will gladly return to Le Colimaçon when we return to Paris. Thank you for such a lovely evening!
A Paris gem! Our group dined here, and it was superb! Small, intimate & cozy. The food was delicious, and service very good. Being vegetarian, I enjoyed the Vegetable Curry dish. It was really good, and very satisfying. Nice variety of dishes to choose from, and also excellent wine & cocktail selection. Perfect charming place to relax.. and dine, while in Paris 🇫🇷 oh, and the Stuffed Peppers are sooo yummy!! Best to make a reservation..very popular place
