Restaurant H
Paris
Kort fortalt
Anmeldelser
Lovely service but menu very light (even for michelin star restaurant where we’re used to the small plates). Dishes were very good but could be more adventurous in mixing flavours. We were happy but expected more suprising flavour combinations. Wine Excellent.
I was looking forward to this meal based on the positive reviews, but oh boy, was it the opposite. The second I walked in, the female waiter greeted me with the most blank expression, zero ounce of excitement to be there. Someone like this shouldn't work in fine dining. A restaurant that earns a Michelin star should know that service is a key factor that differentiates it from other restaurants. The sommelier was a bit cold, but definitely better than the woman. This woman server, I would say from my fine dining adventures, is the worst server and has the worst attitude I have seen. She should stop working there. Now let's talk about the food. Nothing impressive. The veal was the standout, very tender, the sauce was rich but not overly heavy. The dessert was bland, boring. The fish was tender but nothing separating it from just a great brasserie. Overall, Restaurant H is overrated and it does not deserve its one Michelin star. I wouldn't be surprised if Michelin takes the star away in the near future. They need to step up. Also, the kitchen had zero energy. Where is that passion, guys? Come on. This is Paris.
This is what you expect from a Michelin Star restaurant. We did the 7 course tasting menu. There was no menu, so we were told what the food was as it was presented, so I don't remember every component of each dish. The food was delicious every bite was like a party in your mouth. The amuse bouches were scrumptious. I can't remember what they were, but they didn't disappoint. The next course was a foamy creamy mushroom soup kind of dish. Then the razor clams which we were told is their signature dish and is always on the menu. While clams were never high on my favorite seafoods, this is definitely the best way to eat clams!! The next dish was the most perfectly cooked scallop I have ever eaten with hazelnuts in a cream sauce (our favorite dish of the evening). Next was the pollock which was also perfection. The sorbet was the freshest sweetest orange, with cream on top and a sliver of green olive. What an interesting and unique combination!! The main course was chicken. Well cooked but we were surprised to see chicken as the main meat dish. They then brought a cheese course (foamy cheese). It was goat cheese (which I absolutely hate) but my husband and daughter gobbled theirs and mine up. When they set the table for dessert, there were two spoons and a fork. We thought maybe we were supposed to double fist the dessert course, but no, there was a pre-dessert, a vanilla cream type dish, and then actual dessert which has chocolate and ice cream. My daughter wants to make pre-dessert an everyday thing in our house now. They also brought out caramels and chocolates after dessert (a post dessert if you will), but I forgot to take a picture. It was a lovely evening, food was amazing, service was impeccable, So glad we were able to dine here and experience Restaurant H.
We had a wonderful dinner here during our first night in Paris. Restaurant H is a small, intimate restaurant with a fantastic tasting menu. We opted for 7 courses and each dish was accompanied by an excellent wine. Our server was very attentive and explained all the dishes and wines in great detail. Highly recommended.
This was easily one of the best meals we’ve had on this trip to Paris. The dishes were creative and full of surprises - each course came with layers of flavour that evolved as we ate, with thoughtful textures and unexpected combinations that worked beautifully together. Service was warm and professional from start to finish, and the small touches, such as the homemade caramel sweets at the end, made the experience feel complete. Overall, a memorable dining experience that we’d definitely recommend to anyone looking for something refined yet inventive in Paris.
