A beautiful place recently renovated, where art, generosity, finess, attention to details, are a religion. An amazing experience in our short overall horrible stay in dirty and dangerous Paris.

The worst part of the meal (which was on our engagement) was being clearly discriminated against. They sat us in the very back of the restaurant next to the door to the kitchen and bathroom in a cramped space despite there being plenty of open seating throughout the restaurant (which remained open the entire time we were there). I don't know if it is because we are American or because one of us is Asian, but this left a very poor impression in my mind of this place and the people who run it.

To Hervè and his most excellent waiting staff. To Philippe the chef for is incredible cooking. Congratulations to Matteo and Pierre who looked after us throughout our wonderful lunch. My wife abd I were again blown away by this superb restaurant. If it could be awarded four stars, they would definitely deserve it. The new decoration to this beautiful restaurant is perfect. I look forward to seeing you for my next big birthday. A big thank you must go to Francis from the Belzac Hotel as well. Merci Mark et Christine

My husband and I visited Paris for the first time and decided to book a 3 Michelin star restaurant to celebrate Christmas. After researching multiple, we booked PG since others are fully booked. * Nice things - We like the ambiance. Cozy vibe with lots of cool paintings. - Staff are observant and attentive to your needs - Bread and butter are delicious * Now let's get to the food part cos that's what we all care about: - We both get a la carte option. I have Adel option as Entree and Veal as Main course. My husband got Jardin Marin as Entree and Venison as Main course. We also get a bottle of while wine (Chablis). All of the dishes are mediocre and there's no harmony among them. Each "main" dish comes with a couple other smaller dishes. - For my dishes, the entree was so bland that I honestly can't remember what I had. Duck foie gras is supposed to be fatty, buttery and full of flavor but it's not. I look forward to the Veal dish but it's a huge disappointment. It tastes like a piece of pork chop that I can cook it better myself. It was dry, overcooked. The sauce has nothing to do with the meat. Nothing is cohesive about this dish. The veg is cooked to death cos why not? It's just a soggy mess on the plate. I get it, it's not spring, it's god damn gloomy winter, no one cares about lettuce but I think it's nice to have some freshness and contrasting texture. But who am I to say, I'm not a chef. Along with my main course is a pasta dish, which I found a bit disconnected. At this point, I'm already so full and not super excited about any other dishes. That brings me to a next point is the portion, I get the idea of "I want to get what I pay for" and this is an art to balance everything. I come to 3 michelin star restaurant for an art/theatrical experience beyond just shoving food in my mouth. I didn't get that here. I felt like a stuff chicken, or shall I say fat duck! At the end of dinner, I was so uncomfortable and I had to quickly went to Le Toilette to throw up. It never happened to me in any of my fine dining experience. Idk if it's the odd combination of some dishes or I'm just too full. Either way it was a ghetto experience. I wanted to leave asap. - Same thing with my husband's dishes. Venison and chocolate sauce were nothing spectacular. I get the idea of veal, chocolate and red wine because it's a classic combo but it's so disconnected. Like these three want to have a threesome but instead they sleep in 3 separate bedrooms. Also, there was a small side dish with 4 pieces of soggy french fries. They look sad, just sad. McDonald did better. The dish looks more like an after-thought and has no place to be on the table. I'm not sure when went inside the chef's head when he created the menu. - Dessert was vanilla souffle and it's just meh! At this point, we just wanna get the check and go home. We didn't finish that and I notice other tables didn't finish their food either, which also said something about the portion. And mind you, my husband and I can eat! I notice the waiters and managers come to other tables and ask why they can't finish the dishes. - We have been to a whole bunch of Michelin star restaurants in NYC, Barcelona and they are just living up to the high bar. For example, Chef table at Brooklyn Fare or Masa are must try. To me, dining at these restaurants are more than just an eating experience, it's like a show that every components needs to work. Here at PG, I can't name a single thing about the food that I love. I don't know why it has 3 stars, maybe it's time to reevaluate the whole Michelin star rating system. I read the reviews before I booked it and it's like "oh the experience might be a hit or miss". This is a 3 Michelin Star restaurant, not a god damn food card that your stove just doesn't work sometimes. I think food carts in NYC are better tbh. If you have money to throw out of the window and want to have disappointment in your life, feel free to book it. Otherwise, I'd say find a different one.

So, this was indeed a memorable trip. The word unbelievable comes to mind to describe my meal. It was one of the nicest meals I've had. The food was extraordinary and it just kept coming. There were tons of little bites and various pallet cleansers between dishes. Each little bite looked like it would have taken a tremendous amount of work and time to prepare. Meanwhile, there were probably 7-8 staff members at any given time serving our table. You'd think the staff were trained by ninja's. Never once did the staff make us feel like they were hovering or overbearing. Yet, if my drink was getting low, I'd turn around to discover it was once again full, like magic. Empty dishes? They'd disappear before you got a chance to look at them a second time. Truly a fabulous experience and meal!I wish I could tell you specifically what I liked the most but I honestly cannot remember, only that there wasn't a single disappointing dish or morsel of food.
