Frenchie

Frenchie… the nickname given to Gregory Marchand in the Kitchen of Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen in London stuck. It is that same name that will baptize the restaurant he opens in June 2009 in the 2nd district of Paris animated by generosity and excellent products.

You should get areservation atleast 2 months before going, The food was amazing.Staff was very friendly . Chef Gregory work his magic Advice don,t go there without reservation . And. Enjoy your Diner :)

This cosy nook has well composed dishes, not just a wine bar with snacks . The burrata was incredible! Don't let it being a "cheese " plate fool you, it's a complex dish. Get here early, it fills up!

Baran von Isik

Oyster plant, bottarga and kumquat was incredible. Lobster and German Pinot Pinot pairing was spot on. Be there 15 min before the place opens at 19:00 to secure seats at the bar .

Jesse Brightman

Perhaps the best meal in Paris. Get the five course tasting with h wine pairings and you will not only leave with a full stomach, but your mind blown. The service was incredible and the wine was great

Mafe Sotillo Lairet

This was one of my favorite restaurants in Paris. The food was amazing and the staff super friendly . We had the wine in the picture that was delicious

Chris Messina

One of the best values in Paris for gourmet food. Great set menu that changes nightly. Reservations in advance are a must. If you're winging it, try the Wine Bar across the street.

Bobby Solomon

Nantes-born Gregory Marchand offers a subtle worldly perspective on classic French cooking via a tiny set menu (around 45 euros per person). One of the best places to eat in the city .

Travel + Leisure

Across from impossible-to-book Frenchie lies its edgy sibling, whose 80’s rock playlist and small plates (pulled pork on brioche ) are all the rage. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c

Kate Gold

Both the wine bar and resto serve excellent food. Burrata at wine bar . 3-course prix fixe at restaurant . Everyone here will be American, but don’t let that deter you. It’s incredible.

Glenn Gomes-casseres

Ate at the Bar version. The main restaurant is booked up a month in advance . Even the bar had a 1hr wait at 9pm on a weekday. But it is delicious. Smallish dishes for ~15€. Try the pappardelle !

Elizabeth Lee

Great bar atmosphere, bit pretentious but good food makes up for it. Chicken with potato mash was so fragrant, and wines are smooth. If u can't get a table at the restaurant , the bar 's not too bad.

"Marchand owes a large part of his success to the great-value €48 three-course menu at dinner (prix fixe only)—boldly flavored dishes such as calamari gazpacho...braised lamb . " -Fodors on TripExpert Read more

Sérgio Tavares

Friendliest service , young atmosphere, lots of foreigns but still very atmospheric. Price is harsh, but the visit is worth. Take the burrata as a snack for two and enjoy the wines .

Stephen Tse

showing up at 7p.m when the bar opens. amazing shaved truffles with buttered toast , a lovely brown butter gnocci , beautiful crab salad , melt in your mouth pork belly . Menu changes all the time.

Nik Kovva

Best dinner in Paris so far. Very difficult to find a table. Go around 19:00 or around 21:30 in the bar opposite the restaurant and pray for a cancellation

“I usually secure a reservation before our flights are even booked . Chef Grégory Marchand’s technique blows me away.” - Ford Fry, chef/owner of The Optimist, BeetleCat, and others in Atlanta Read more

Marie-Pier Emery

Amazing tapas and wine list . The Coques with gin sauce were especially tasty. This is one of my favourite places in Paris !!

Anthony

Had one of my best meals in Paris here, wild boar pappardelle and a chocolate pot for dessert . Don't know why they have a lower rating, was delicious with good service .

Anna Tassinari

Anthony Bourdain recommended :) Takes reservations several months ahead, but if you want to test your luck, put your name down and head over to their wine bar across the street for an aperitif :)

Annie Tolochinski

We got the tasting menu and loved everything very good and fresh. The waitresses have a little bit of a 'tude though which was annoying.

Berat YARDIMCI

Oh Jesus! The best meat i have eaten in the world. Try Sweetbread ***** Burrata and Lamb Ragu . Über Delicious!

Paul Farrell

End to end one of the most amazing meals ever. Every dish perfectly balanced. Stunning wine list with Riberach and Le Soula recommendation.

Matt Ryan

Really great! Had whatever they gave me and every dish was on point. Incredibly accommodating as well as I didn't have reservations . Perfect!

shlomit landmann

Great service, great dished except the fois gras which was disappointing. Go for the ragu and the banoffee

Thomas McErlean

Great way to try chief Gregory Marchand’s cooking. Delicious, great atmosphere and staff are super friendly . Highly recommend if you can't get a reservation at Frenchie .

Jessica M.

Cozy , delicious spot. Food and ambiance feel like you could be in any city , which depending on your perspective, might be just fine.

Tomás Pinheiro

A musa go in Paris. Great food and Great wines . Order St. Jacques, wild boar ragu and pork shoulder if they are on the menu

Rita Baltazar

Amazing food experience! Excellent wine menu . All the dishes are special.

Meg Farmer

This place was overflowing with a crowd, and for good reason. With two locations across the street from each other, the food and wine are flowing all night.

Enrico Albanesi

Nice wine bar with a good selection. You have to go really soon to get a table, generally before opening, and it's always petty crowded

Annie Tolochinski

Loved this place, we got a drink here while waiting to be seated at the restaurant place is hopping. Food (small plates ) looked great.

Pam M

One of the BEST restaurants around the world. The food in the wine bar is exquisite, the place and the music quite nice, but nothing like the food... INCREDIBLE

Enrique Nalda

In my top 3 favourite restaurants in Paris. Greg produces original and tasty mediterranean style dishes. Dessert are also fantastic. Great wine bar next to the restaurant .

Ben Drucker

Food's still great and you don't have to book 3 months in advance . If you come around 1900 during the week you'll find room.

Jane Hudson

If you failed to get a reservation at Frenchie , make sure you show up at least 20 minutes before 19:00 opening to secure a table at the wine bar . The food was brilliant and the wines delicious!

Kristen C

My favorite restaurant in Paris. Part of the gastrophile trend in Paris. Go to the wine bar across the street if you can't get a table. I prefer to eat there.

Melon L

Come here if you can't book a reservation across the street. Food is still amazing and you get a much livelier atmosphere.

"[Gregory Marchand (chef )] knew only that he wanted to serve upscale fare at prices affordable to younger diners in a casual setting." http://nyti.ms/1hnrVoy

MarcAntoine Jarry

Nice cooks but playing in a wrong league. A 410 euros tab for 4 people with nice food and a couple of glasses of minor wines nicely associated is just too much of stretch for me.

Heather Rodriguez

Excellent as always. Solid, go-to small plates in Paris.

New York Habitat

Great intimate place for dinner , if you can get in. The place is tiny so make sure you book a table well in advance!

HashtagNYU

The hottest modern collection in the world! Plus, if you need a study spot , the main floor library is open to the public.

E. T.

Chef Austin brings an amazing menu where texture really brightens every impeccable dish he presents!

Erica Wegielewski

Wine paring was exceptional. Absolutely perfect. Such a comfortable environment too.

Ruby N

Don't walk, run here. The food is so special. Flavors are amazing. Menu changes often.

Sydney M

Set menu , phenomenal food, in a small intimate space ! Would definitely come back

Emma Reynieix

come real early or late cause the place gets real packed quickly. dishes come one by one so be careful about that as well !

Lana ING Lana_styling_elegance

The place for a gastronomic orgasms :)))

Justin Kalifowitz

Arrive at 6:45 and get the first seating. Order one from each section to share. Monkfish is outstanding.

Tom Moore
