    Been there twice this week. First time had a pasta special with shrimp. Was very very good. Yesterday, I had the roast chicken, which is always a winner. It’s always juicy and comes with mashed potatoes and a lovely sauce. Wife had the mussels in white wine which she loves. The French fries and bread were excellent. Dessert was profiteroles, which was lovely. It’s a small place with French ambiance and traditional French or bossa nova music playing in the background.

    Consistently good kitchen, nice bistro ambiance, and friendly service from Flora and the entire staff. Standouts include the trout, steak frites, and the duck confit. And, a good selection of French wines.

    My wife and I have been dining here for well over 20 years. It has the look, feel and energy of a Parisian restaurant. The food is extremely well prepared and very flavorful. The service is always spot in. Excellent and reasonable wine selection. We have recommended Le Parisen to many people of the year's and we always get a call thanking us for turning them on to this terrific spot. This time we dined with 2 other couples who were new to this place. They will absolutely be back. I rarely take the time to write a review. Don't miss this little gem in Murray Hill.

    We love this place as a favorite neighborhood gem with consistently amazing food, and a quaint ambience (you feel like you are right out of a hidden bistro in Paris). I had the special cold soup which was outstanding (red pepper, basil, chives goat cheese etc), and the special fish entree. So much flavor! Delicious and surprisingly great prices for quality food in NYC. Every meal I’ve ever had here has been cooked to perfection. And their desserts are to die for, but I didn’t have room this time.
