We had a beautiful dinner, the food was exceptional and full of flavor. We especially loved the pigeon which was incredible. The wines were paired very well, however we would have liked a little greater wine pour for the cost of the tasting and ended up ordering an additional wine by the glass. Overall very pleased.
We had an exceptional meal at Origines. The seasonal menu was inventive and delicious, and the courses served as part of the tasting menu were larger than I would expect…no one left hungry. The dessert featuring fresh berries was as good as anything I’ve ever had. The chef/owner came out to chat with us at the end of the meal, which was a nice touch. The front-of-house staff were extremely professional and knowledgeable. Everyone we were in contact with spoke English well. Highly recommended.
I went on 03/09 for a romantic dinner with my wife. We made reservations ahead of time so we went in when they just open at 07:30. We had their 6 course meal and ordered 2 glasses of wine. The food was excellent and wine was tasty. However I believe they messed up their serving ordering and made us wait for a really long time in the middle. We were genuinely fast eaters so even for Michelin restaurants we finish our courses pretty fast. Since we went in when it first opened and started eating really early, we were the first ones to get to main course in the restaurant (the restaurant is not big so you get an idea that others also ordered the 6 course and where they are at). There were multiple Asian couples in the restaurant and at some point they might have messed up the order and served the next course to the other Asian couple who just finished their previous course while we had already finished our previous course a while back. They were behind because they came in later than us, but by the time they finish, we just got served with our next course. We ended up being the last to finish our courses and it was 3 and half hours. Still I have to say the food was really good, 5 star rating for the food. However it had become too long and draggy so overall I had to give 4 stars.
After four and a half hours behind the wheel from Le Shuttle, Paris doesn’t gently announce itself. It hits you all at once—traffic, light, noise, that familiar, intoxicating sense that something good is about to happen if you choose wisely. This was a weekend built around eating. A few carefully chosen tables in the heart of the city. No sightseeing checklist, no monuments to tick off—just walking, talking, and feeding the mood. That mood led us to Origines restaurant, tucked away on Rue de Ponthieu, close enough to the Champs-Élysées to feel the pulse of the city, far enough to avoid its worst instincts. The name alone suggests intent: origins, fundamentals, a return to why cooking matters in the first place. The room sets the tone immediately. Warm, understated, confident without showing off. You’re not here to be dazzled by chandeliers or intimidated by hushed reverence. You’re here to eat. To settle in. To let someone else do the thinking for a while. After the drive, that matters more than you realise. Chef Julien Boscus has built something quietly serious here. A Michelin star, yes—but not the kind that feels chased or weaponised. This is cooking rooted in product, seasonality, and restraint. The tasting menu unfolds patiently, each course clearly considered, never rushed, never padded. There’s a rhythm to it, the sense that someone understands pacing, not just of dishes, but of appetite and attention. A dish built around mushrooms, earthy, deep, layered, reminds you how much flavour can be coaxed from something humble when treated with respect. Fish arrives perfectly judged, cooked just enough to assert itself, never bullied into submission. Sauces are where the kitchen really speaks: precise, concentrated, confident. Nothing wasted. Nothing overworked. Dessert doesn’t scream for applause. It doesn’t need to. Fruit is handled with restraint, sweetness kept in check, acidity allowed to play its role. You finish feeling satisfied, not bludgeoned. Then there’s the wine. An award-winning cellar that doesn’t exist to intimidate. The sommelier listens. Really listens. Bottles are suggested with purpose, not ego. Pairings lift the food instead of competing with it. This is a collaboration, not a performance. Service throughout is exactly what you want after a long drive and a long week, attentive, calm, genuinely pleased you’ve chosen to spend your evening here. At some point, the chef makes his way through the room, stopping to speak. No theatrics. No self-importance. Just a quiet exchange that reminds you this is a human enterprise, not a brand exercise. Origines isn’t trying to reinvent French cuisine, and that’s its strength. It’s reminding you why it mattered in the first place. Why you drove across borders for a weekend like this. Why Paris, when it gets it right, still feels like the centre of the dining universe. After hours on the road, this was exactly the kind of table you hope to find: thoughtful, grounded, and deeply satisfying. One of those meals that doesn’t just feed you—it resets you for the rest of the weekend.
I was expecting, after so many positive reviews better food. It wasn't bad, but apart from the carrot appetizer and miso ice-cream in dessert, nothing really stood out. There was also an issue that there was buckshot in my food. Unfortunately no one had warned me to be careful while eating and, as a result, I've chipped my tooth slightly. I understand that it is game meat, but one would expect that in a Michelin-starred restaurant there would be no risk of having foreign objects in the food. The waitress said that I was lucky; however, I do not consider damaging my tooth to be lucky.
