Everything about this meal was amazing. The attention to detail. The textures. The creativity. The wine pairings. The excellent staff of 5 was attentive and passionate about the food and restaurant. We would definitely go again.

Tamara was a treat. We dined there after a few nights of Michelin-star restaurants (which won't be named) but we enjoyed this night the most. Fantastic service and wonderful food. We particularly liked the "2-dishes in succession" theme made with the same ingredient (eg. Monkfish) and the portions were perfect. They were very communicative beforehand and accommodating during dinner with our dietary intolerances (one gluten, one lactose). The wine pairing was very good, not spectacular, but very reasonably priced (€65). The ambience is nice but not great with quite small tables which are not easy to be comfortable sitting at. All that said, I would recommend Tamara wholeheartedly.

From start to finish the menu was creative and perfectly paired with creative French Wine Selections. Timing of service, and quality and thoughtfulness of each course of tasting menu was compatible to a 2 or 3 star Michelin establishment, without the stuffy tablecloths and pretention. Bravo! We will definitely be back soon!

We chose the paired tasting menu; every course delighted us. Every bite was exquisite, artfully presented, and memorable (it helped that we were compelled to photograph each beautiful course). Service was elegant and impeccable. The simplicity and sparseness of the decor lent intimacy to each table (though we conversed a bit with American diners at the table next to us; we still enjoyed the privacy). One of our favorite dining experiences ever.

Nous avons fêté notre anniversaire de mariage chez Clément Vergeat au restaurant Tamara. Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment, le menu dégustation est splendide plein de surprises en bouche. Les accords softs et vins sont excellents également. Grosse mention au céleri déshydraté recomposé à la crême de langouste, beaucoup de créativité et de travail dans l'assiette, Je recommande !

A l'intérieur, discrètement, une vingtaine de couverts dans une ambiance épurée, détendue, mystérieuse... Pendant que dehors, non loin sur le Rivoli, une odeur piquante de chaos urbain lié à des mouvements sociaux... Et là, c'est la magie qui prend le relais dès notre entrée. 6 personnes pour nous accompagner délicatement vers des terrains gustatifs solides et liquides tout à fait incroyables : tout y est ! de la couleur au monochrome, du sucre à l'acidulé subtil, du salé à l'aigre-doux. Bref, tout ce que la nature nous offre. Où sommes-nous en fait ? Dans un véritable OVNI parisien, Temple de la gentillesse où nos hôtes ont réussi à condenser tout leur savoir faire en 2h30 d'émerveillement. Je n'en dirais pas plus, laissez-vous guider en toute confiance, prenez votre temps, découvrez... Nous étions trois profanes, ce fameux soir magique.

My wife and I had a great meal at Tamara. The gastro cooking was amazing and quite an experience. I am lactose intolerant and they accommodated my needs easily (even though we opted for the tasting menu). It's hard to describe gastro cooking, but needless to say it was a 2.5 hr meal with many small courses and a delight for your taste buds.

What an experience! Tamara is A hidden secret with a wonderfull ambiance and outstanding menu. We were blown away by all the dishes, great ingridients, unique tasting impressions. And also the presentation om the plates was great. We selected downstairs in the cellar 2 great bottles of wine, served in beautiful light-weight glasses. What an evening. We will definitely come back and please don’t tell to much people of Tamara, they have only 24 seats…..
