Le Marais Restaurants

We had an extraordinary evening in a great location. Wonderful art, delicious food and fancy people. The service was very charming and attentive! 💖

When we showed up, they handed us menus instead of the experience. We actually preferred this and didn’t ask about the experience. We had the foie gras and escargot as appetizers. Our first time trying both. Both were delicious, but we preferred the snails slightly more. The snails had a pesto seasoning. For our main course we had the duck and lamb shanks. Once again both were fantastic. To finish it off we had the chocolate and caramel dessert. They made a big deal about how everything was homemade. Supposedly Paris has a lot of restaurants that just reheat stuff, this want one of them. On Saturdays after 8, they had a pianist playing modern pop songs that provides lovely background music. Only speaking English was not a problem.

The wait staff and everyone was very nice and the food was outstanding. The Thai peanut sauce on the chicken is a star and the escargot was a masterpiece.

We made this reservation for our wedding anniversary and when we arrived at the restaurant they could not find our reservation. When I showed the maître D’ my phone with the confirmation he laughed at me and said “oh, open table, haha!” He literally laughed and scoffed at me for using Open Table. We got a table but it was not the greatest table (upstairs) and our service was not very good at all. So disappointed to have spent our 17 year anniversary here! Why have your restaurant on Open Table if you don’t bother paying attention to the reservations? The food was pretty good but I’ve had so much better service at so many other Parisian restaurants I won’t go back to Bofinger.

New Year’s Day dinner. Beautiful restaurant just off Champs Elysees. Great service and the food was tremendous - had the lamb was cooked to perfection.
