Just a superb experience.
The location is in a very nice area, inside a very elegant hotel. The staff were AMAZING. The experience is like watching a performance, everyone moving at just the right speed and showing up at just the right moment. There were 5 of us and we had a bottle of champagne, one white and 2 reds. The total was 350€ per person. Loved every minute!

Does a 2* Michelin need another glowing review? I took my best friend here for his birthday April 2022. We have eaten at many fine restaurants in Paris for almost 40 years now. This place is as good as any. The only experiences that compare were Taillevent under the great Claude Vrinat. That was a different era and style of very fine dining. Gabriel has introduced a more relaxed style which is demanded by the mobile phone age. Still the service is immaculate, but relaxed. Taillevent was immaculate but hidden, the well oiled machine (without Vrinat it is not so good, and feels rather stuffy). I appreciate both. Gabriel's dining room is a nice as any you will visit, exceptionally beautiful. The food is fantastic. I will return.
Be the first to ReplyLe Gabriel is located in La Réserve in a really nice area
Le Gabriel is located in La Réserve in a really nice area - walking there and walking around after dinner were really nice. The main dining room had only maybe 7 tables, so it was a nice intimate experience. There are currently 2 dinner options: Virée with 7 courses for 178€ and Périples with 8 courses for 238€. The Viree is more flavors from the chef's home in Brittany, whereas the Périples has more Japanese influence. There's also an add on cheese course option. I was pregnant and have pretty much been a pescatarian, and they were extremely gracious and conscientious about adapting the menu for me, which I really appreciated. For the raw / undercooked seafood, they were able to sub out the oyster and also cook the fish a little longer for me. I also saw them accommodating a well behaved little girl at a table near us, giving her a special adapted menu. VIRÉE - 1. Amuses - Buckwheat crisp with Parmesan and shaved mushroom - Tapioca rice crisp with lemon for me, and for my husband, raw oyster from Brittany with an interesting nutty sauce - Celery tartlet: wonderfully intense. The regular menu had creamy pork and sweet garlic tart 2. Carrot marinated in limestone water filled with mashed carrot and ginger - this was a very cool texture and presentation, andhe rich flavor was reminiscent of a bolognese. Poured over was a sauce of carrot juice and fermented ginger broth. It was served with a warm crispy brioche for the sopping up the sauce3. Buckwheat flour bread and butter from Brittany 4. Binchotan grilled blue lobster from Brittany: with a light grill/smoke flavor, sitting on top of herbs, topped with almond praline, served with cooked celery in an apple juice infused curry 5. Mackerel on galet: mackerel cooked in the kitchen then finished with white wine on hot stones between cedar wood, potatoes confit with bottarga and sea asparagus, a thicker sauce of a urchin and shallot under the fish, then poured over was a fish-garlic-ginger stock.6a. Artichoke heart roasted in limestone water, sakura vinegar, artichoke chips 6b. Regular menu: crispy pig layered with potatoes and nori like a crispy mille feuille, served with poached shells in cream - described to be like a surf and turf - very interesting and tied together with the nori7a. Whiting from Brittany with morels, super tender razor clams, and spring peas 7b: Regular menu: poultry from Culoiseau: chicken breast marinated in a fermented leaf, with green peas, onion, ham, and garlic in a tart. It came with a sauce of chicken jus in white garlic oil 8. Cheese cart: a great selection with many unique cheeses that we haven't seen elsewhere 9. Meringue, pink grapefruit, oyster leaf and sea asparagus with champagne foam - a light but substantially sized palate cleansing transitional dessert 10. Buckwheat tart with vanilla ice cream, cocoa crisp, cider and caramel sauce for me They also brought a very nice berry tart as a birthday surprise (with a candle!). There were also Mignardaises to go. As you would expect for a Michelin 2 star place, service was on point with coordinated placement and removal of dishes. The dishes were all presented nicely with sauces poured table side, but the mackerel on stones stood out as the highlight for presentation. The food style was a bit more traditional than what j normally seen out. However, the staff truly went above and beyond for accommodations, and service was impeccable.

Expensive Prix fixe surprise menus worth every centime.Wonderful food, beautiful atmosphere, and an attentive staff. Well deserved two Michelin stars.

If you've never had a 2-star Michelin experience, Le Gabriel is a great start. Hefty price but the excellent service, the beautiful platings, and the delicious high-quality food make it all worth it. You have to make a reservation, I don't even think they take walk-ins. It looked like they only accepted one round of guests because I never saw anyone else come in after. It's a really long meal, especially if you choose the 8-course. It took us over 3 hours to finish!Some things I noticed with their excellent service...stains were covered up with a white cloth. If you have multiple people at your table, they always uncover your food at the same time. There's just a lot of synchronized movements with minimal communication. In the beginning, they gave us a menu that lists all the potential ingredients to ask if we needed to modify anything. I'm not really going to describe the dishes we had because they probably change throughout the months. But as you can tell from the pictures, the food is arranged aesthetically...even the plate designs are incorporated. The quality of the food is amazing, everything was delicious. Each dish represented the chef's journey around the world and our waitress described each dish and how to eat them in English. At the very end, they rolled a dessert cart with small bites. I thought it was going to cost us extra so I didn't grab one of everything but it's free! They had these passionfruit caramel chews that were delicious. What an amazing experience. Definitely for special occasions but now my standards for 2-star Michelin restaurants will be compared to Le Gabriel!

Absolutely amazing!!! Amazing amazing amazing! What a phenomenal meal and what amazing service. My favorite place in France from now on.
Be the first to ReplyWhy this strange title about a restaurant? Because both
Why this strange title about a restaurant? Because both chef Jérôme Banctel and director Marco Tognon make us a superb show of what modern French cuisine is but not losing its roots.But let's begin at the beginning. (Epanadiplose and pleonasm I must calm down!)The appetizers are far from basic with a tart of foie gras and Shitake mashed potatoes, then a thin compote of onion and red pepper mousse and finally a yuzu meringue with crabmeat and Granny Smith apple. Some plum-flavored rice chips. Here we recognize the Korean influence where dry plum is commonly used.The three pieces are really worked while being in a taste approach fairly neutral so as not to disturb the mouth at the beginning of the meal.With the artichoke, Jerome Banctel reminds us of his native Brittany.The flower (yes, this big green ball is a flower!) is cooked in limestone. This operation has no real taste effect but causes a molecular reaction that will prevent the artichoke heart from breaking up during cooking. It will maintain a beautiful appearance while being perfectly cooked.After a tour in Gironde (since the artichoke is from Macau), we travel to Japan with Japanese cherry vinegar deglazing. Some artichoke chips and fresh coriander, artichoke puree, cherry vinegar gel. And back in France with an emulsion of barigoule, Provencal accompaniment.This starer is powerful, toned. No misguidance in vaporous tastes. The taste balance is really perfect.The student of Alain Senderens is perfectly recognizable with an absolutely fantastic food and wine pairing with La Goulée of Cos d'Estournel. With touches that can almost be described as salty.We come back to much more appeasement with salmon marinated in yuzu, daikon, aubergine mousse. Even if the final pollen emulsion brings a disconcerting but understandable bitterness. It is true that I am very sensitive to bitter. The nasturtium leaves bring the peppery tip.The piece of salmon is barely grasped unilaterally, without coloration of heat.Then comes the ultra-classic piece, the veal chop. No particular work on the baking itself but a cut in the dining room by the director Marco Tognon who magnifies so much this calf which is not dead for nothing, with the superb carving trolley, unique piece made for the restaurant by the House Ercuis, with Cos's elephant engraved on the cover.But we would not be in a 2 star if it was not accompanied by a "simple" but subtle ravioli cress and watercress. A small veal stock will moisten the whole.Obviously, I will raid on the bone... One more that the cooks will not have!The only (small) disappointment will come from the wine served with the veal chop, a Pagodes de Cos 2012. Good but which did not have its coherence with the dish, contrary to the white one.If I had to sum up the effect this dessert makes, it would be in the squeaking of the knife on the meringue. This plunges back into the (almost!) inimitable crunch of the Ovaltine bar of the snacks of our childhood.And of course it's excellent. There is very little bitterness in coffee that is weighted by plain ice cream and cherry syrup.The other dessert is comparatively a little absent even if the multiplicity of vanilla seeds augur the fragrance of the islands. But I will not give up because it allowed me to leave the coffee so much hated!To sum up, apart from the obvious taste interest of this table emeritus, the menu offers a nice balance between a very good technique and a simplicity of products. The artichoke is really the masterpiece with a strong but subtly muted taste.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing food and service.
Top notch. The epitome of a fine dining restaurant where the chef takes simple ingredients, something that you'll have heard of, and turn them into innovative, appealing and mouth-watering dishes. Of course, in haute cuisine you'll always encounter fancy ingredients like caviar and foie gras, etc., but a true talented chef doesn't need to rely on expensive elements to make a dish to wow his customers.Due to my dietary restrictions at that time, I had to contact the manager about my requirements. I originally wanted to try their prix fixe menu but realized it might not be practical because that would change too much of the chef's ideas. Upon arrival, the wait staff were all aware of the restriction and recommended us going a la carte for our dinner. We got the green asparagus and the morels for our appetizers, fish and pigeon for our main courses and passion fruit souffle to end our dinner.EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT. The taste, the texture, the portions (we were so full), the service, the details... I've never had asparagus cooked like this, never knew mushrooms and vegetables could be elevated to this level. The meat and fish of course were cooked perfectly with flavor and juiciness. On top of the stuff we ordered, we got generous amount of amuse bouche and they even prepared something special for our anniversary. I loved the candles they put there and asked where I can find them. The manager ended up giving me a box of candles to take home along with some goodies in a bag!You would think a Michelin star restaurant would nickel and dime you. No, these people really want to please you and make sure you have a great time! It was not an inexpensive meal but my husband and I both thought it's worth every of our penny! If you want to pick Michelin French restaurant in Paris to try, among the many others, look no further, this is it!
Be the first to ReplyWow, it doesn't get any better than this.
I have had dinners at ALL of the Michelin three star restaurants in Paris, and this two star restaurant is better that the other three star restaurants. Everything was perfect from starter to dessert. The service is impeccable. Atmosphere is beautiful. It is a real treat.

This meal was amazing and (literally) life-changing! My boyfriend gifted me with a reservation here for Christmas last year -- we were about to go on our first trip to Paris, and he wanted to experience real fine dining to celebrate.We actually missed our reservation thinking it was 30 minutes later, but a call between them and our hotel's concierge remedied that. The restaurant offered to move our reservation 30 minutes later to allow us time to arrive.The staff was very kind and courteous, especially since we spoke English and were clearly American. We were escorted into the building and had our coats taken to be hung up. We sat by a large window in the dining room, and they even had a pedestal for my purse. We chose the 5-course meal and paired it with some delicious champagne. All of the food was to die for. The flavors, the creativity, the presentation -- all of it was wrapped up in one really lovely experience.Halfway through our meal, my boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed to me! Little to my knowledge, the staff had known this was planned and were helping him take photos of the occasion. They were very sweet and brought me tissues when I couldn't stop crying too. (For the record, I said yes!)The chef and staff absolutely spoiled us and brought multiple rounds of dessert following our meal, including a Congratulations plate with a special treat on it. I was sent home with a pastry to enjoy on the following morning as well. The dining room was very beautiful, and we walked through a library-like bar on the way in and out. I would have loved to check that out, but we finished our meal relatively late and wanted to return home.The experience was extremely memorable for many reasons, and we are still dreaming about all of the delicious food. We already plan on returning whenever our next trip to France happens!
Be the first to ReplyThe best dining experience we had in our trip to Paris.
We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. The food was classy and expertly prepared. The wine was fantastic. The service was what you expect at a Michelin rated restaurant. They were funny, friendly, attentive, and were super helpful since our French isn't the best. Ambiance is elegant and high class. I would recommend wearing a jacket when dining here, unlike places such as Joel Robuchon where they're more modern. It was a full experience and we both had a lot of fun, would absolutely do it again!
Be the first to ReplyMy husband and I had the occasion to dine at Le Gabriel for
My husband and I had the occasion to dine at Le Gabriel for lunch in early December 2018. The restaurant is situated inside La Reserve hotel, overlooking a courtyard near Le Grand Palais, Le Petit Palais, and the Avenue des Champs-Elysées. The restaurant room itself is stunning, and a nod to high French artistocratic design and culture. Gold bedazzles the ceilings and antique mirrors line the walls. The servers are dressed in black suits, perhaps to The lunch menu is cheaper than the dinner menu and also offers several menu options depending on your budget. The lunch menu provides high level descriptions of the courses without actually providing details of the courses themselves. They call it a "blind menu."I chose the "market menu" lunch and my husband chose the "hunting menu" lunch which was a bit more expensive. All we knew was that the ingredients would represent either the local market availability or what someone might hunt, such as venison. My husband is not the biggest fan of some classic French dishes such as paté and foie gras. He also doesn't like poultry. So we should have known that a blind menu at a French restaurant could result in him getting some dishes he did not fancy.Unfortunately, that is precisely what happened. I think my husband was hoping for a slab of venison with some side dishes. But no, he got paté for his appetizer, and squab for his entrée. I had mentioned to the water in the beginning that my husband "doesn't like chicken," so when the planned dish was a close cousin to chicken, I wish they would have clarified and accommodated. This is the risk of a blind menu. For my market menu lunch, on the other hand, I was served three dishes which absolutely fancied my tastes. The lunch began with an asparagus soup, followed by a delectable scallop dish, and finished with a coconut meringue dessert. Each of my dishes was artfully presented and carefully crafted to make my mouth and soul satisfied for weeks.Le Gabriel is an excellent restaurant. I see why it has 2 Michelin stars. The service is like watching a ballet, except in a restaurant. The servers cover up the stains on your table cloth like ninjas--blink and you'll miss the action. I certainly felt as though I spoiled myself on this lunch, but I felt bad that my husband got a whole lunch that he hated. The 4 stars is not for quality of food or drinks or ambiance or the service; it is for the choice of a blind menu that can result in a diner's unhappiness. My advice to would-be Le Gabriel visitors is to be very detailed in taste preferences off the bat. Hopefully, they will accommodate you.
Be the first to ReplyUnbelievable experience at Le Gabriel.
Dinner was well put together (even had a dish paired with Sake!). I was also blown away by the service. Extremely attentive staff. I will be back during my next visit to Paris!
