Very refined food and wine selection in one of the most beautiful "art nouveau" decor, and with a view on the imposing Madeleine monument. For smaller budgets the Marché Lucas Carton restaurant above this one offers one of the best value for money options in Paris (Menu is 45€). I really recommend both!

Friendly service, wonderful food well presented.

I cannot speak to the "true" dining room at Lucas Carton - and will certainly not take the risk of attending it after this experience but I'd strongly advise any diner to prefer a kitchen that respects all of their clientele - regardless of what they order, spend, or wear. Lucas Carton is clearly no such a place.

From an attitude perspective if you are there for the lunch menu at the Marche you will be treated as an inconvenience at best. They literally sent us out a back door after we finished so that the patrons in the main dining room would not have to suffer the sight of impoverished clientele who had only paid 100 euro for their lackluster meal.

Excellent food (they made me like cauliflower, which I usually hate) and great friendly service. My first time after it changed owner, but still great place to have a fine meal in Paris

This review is specifically for the "Marche" eatery upstairs at lunch. If you're coming here in hopes of a good value Michelin dining experience in Paris I'd highly discourage it. Not only was this among the most disappointing 1-star or even bib-gourmand restaurants I've encountered, but the attitude, menu, and attention to detail were egregiously lacking for a 100 euro meal.

From a pacing, creativity, ingredient quality, and service perspective this place rates far lower than any other Michelin honored kitchen I have visited across three continents - be it 3-star or bib gourmand.

Top of the top. 10. Perfection.

We cannot drink alcohol but the waiter seemed to take personal offense to our decision to order water (at 6 euros mind you) and cooled noticably towards us. Perhaps due to our wine choice, language/accents, or attire we were regularly served after other patrons who had arrived later or finished their courses later than ourselves. This left absurd 15+ minute gaps between our courses. Even paying for the travesty took a good half hour of staring absently at our empty water jug while more important patrons were attended to by the lone and overworked waiter on the upper floor.

The food was fine to decent - not much better than your typical brasserie fare anywhere in Paris, the best part of the meal probably the bacon and egg appetizer.

Beautiful food as you'd expect from a Michelin restaurant. Fois gras was amazing!

The biggest hitch was the game pie which was not only disgustingly salty, but also had literal buckshot (as in bullet shrapnel) in the meat filling. The spectre of lead poisoning is not something one should pay 50 euros a person to confront and a Michelin restaurant should be able to source a half-decent butcher if they could be bothered. The fish course my companion ordered appeared adequate but was literally a square of fish on a plate with a single decorative pastry on top. Perhaps cooked decently but hardly inspired or worthy of any reputation whatsoever. Anyone with a stove and seven minutes time could've come pretty close to matching the kitchen on it.
