I had made reservations at this restaurant and received a confirmation. in addition restaurant placed a deposit in the case that I don't show up. When I got to the restaurant hostess could not find my reservation. once I showed her email confirmation she said that I am not reserved at this place but at their rotisserie next door which is a crap whole. in addition hostess was so rude that she should not interact with people. At the end of the day I am happy that I didn't contribute to this restaurant with my money. STAY AWAY
Be the first to ReplyAnother Michelin star restaurant in my tasting menu
Another Michelin star restaurant in my tasting menu marathon. This time at the long established 1 star Tour ď Argent. Highlights of the restaurant are the gracious greetings, beautiful decor (sans chairs, the dining chairs are not aesthetically appealing), but they were at least comfortable which is incredibly important when embarking on a tasting menu. And the portions are generous. My recommendation, though, after having the tasting menu would be to order A La Carte. Unless you're really into the fine dining classics of French cuisine. The cadence of the dishes is a little too slow for my liking. I don't like a lot of downtime between dishes, and if you're doing a tasting menu, this downtime can be grueling. The recommendations would be Langostines Royal for starters, the blue lobster for main and for dessert get either or both the Crepes Madamoiselle and the Soufflé. (The Crepes will are prepared tableside with the traditional theater involved in making Crepes Suzzette. The dining room is beautiful and dramatic at the same time being located on the top floor. There is also a rooftop bar with dining options. But it's open only during the spring and summer months. We went with the 6 dish tasting menu, which was €440 per person without wine pairing, and took three and half hours to complete. I don't know if it was because it was winter and because this restaurant is on the top floor, but the dining room was much too cold. We saw several other guests were asking for blankets halfway through our meal. Highlights, beautiful dining room. Incredible wine list. Perhaps the most impressive wine list in all of Paris. Great signature cocktails. This place seems to be an institution amongst Parisians and much beloved by the locals as many people were either in jealous or in awe when we mentioned that we had reservations for dinner there. The not so highpoints. Sadly, there is no small token of appreciation given to you at the end of the evening. The staff, seemed a little too young and inexperienced. Although courteous, they lack the polish that other top establishments have. The dining room was extremely cold.
Be the first to ReplyOur first visit there (not the last time when I reviewed
Our first visit there (not the last time when I reviewed the restaurant) for a decade ago for our milestone birthday. We just hit another milestone so we really wanted to eat here again, but booked our trip very last minute. I emailed the restaurant and asked the concierge at the Park Hyatt to call for us to no avail. The day before, I just checked online and times freed up so I was super excited to book the table. New chef, and truthfully, the cuisine felt refreshed in a good way. They still had the giant portion of the foie, but had a very tasty three preparation of langoustines which I loved. The Marco Polo duckling preparation was very good, but the green pepper sauce didn't quite have the richness and punch that I remembered and was craving. It was too subtle for the gaminess of the duck. By the time the second dish came out of the sautéed parts of duck, I was stuffed. Dessert was fun...we had the black currant soufflé which was huge. Also, had the pear tarte which was good but not great. The chocolate dessert which they comped us, was the best. I knocked a star off for ambiance. They allowed a couple in with a toddler, which I was super annoyed with because we also had a toddler on our first visit and left him at home. When he was old enough to eat properly at a fine dining restaurant using cutlery on his own and having proper table manners was when we allowed him to join us at Tour D'Argent. That kid was so annoying, but it's the parents that I fault...they had no business being that selfish in affecting the experience of the other diners. Either get a babysitter at the hotel or wait until your kid is old enough to sit quietly without crying and screaming. This isn't a family diner...it's a Michelin star restaurant. I feel like the restaurant placed money ahead of their guests and patrons. They should have turned them away since I do remember reading that there was an age minimum somewhere on their website. Clearly they don't enforce it, although I did notice the manager eyeing the table in annoyance when that kid started fussing. I found the younger wait staff to be more energetic and fun...they made the experience for us.
Be the first to ReplyI notice that the "outstanding" reviews of this restaurant
I notice that the "outstanding" reviews of this restaurant that pop up go back a number of years, one more than 13 years ago. They deserve a response. Right before Covid, I took my daughter to Paris for an eating excursion. We hit a Bib Gourmand, a one-star, and a three-star (Arpege), all of which were memorable and very, very friendly to us as Americans. Lest my daughter leave Paris thinking everyone was very friendly and delicious, I booked a table at Tour d'Argent, where her mother and I had shared a (perfectly lovely, if hauty) meal on our honeymoon a quarter century earlier. That was when they'd lost one star, and afterwards, another one. I sent a lovely letter to the restaurant describing this special occasion and asked if we might be able to get a little closer to those beautiful windows looking over Notre Dame. We arrived to indifference, were seated at absolutely the furthest table from the view, where we sat for a half hour awaiting service. We were dressed to the nines, yet there were people in the dining room in prime spots dressed in jeans and dingy shirts. In the meantime, a very vocal fight opened up in the kitchen, with plates and pots being thrown, and while I don't recognize French cursing, there was surely plenty. No one acknowledged it or seemed to do anything about it. Finally the menu appeared with next-to-no bored commentary, and we picked a pretty expensive degustation menu. I asked politely if a wine pairing might be available for the multiple courses, and the server appeared incredulously that I would ask, walked away, and then five minutes later returned with the giant encyclopedia of the restaurant's wine list, and plopped it unceremoniously on the table. I returned the graciousness by finding a village white that I recognized (and was about a hundred bucks), so that probably pissed them off further. I cannot for the life of me understand what we did or said to offend the staff so badly, other than my speaking in American (my daughter, who had seven years of French classes behind her, tried valiently to save me). I regret that I never complained, for fear of an eruption, as we saw egregious, arrogant service all around us and I feared I'd be thrown out. The food was indifferent, nothing special or memorable, and the bill was as expensive as I expected it. It is undoubtedly a beautiful restaurant, filled with history (though dubious, as the restaurant proclaims it the city's oldest, but that doesn't square with historians), and I took perverse pride in showing my daughter how Paris REALLY treats Americans ... not all of the time, but much of the time. Claude Terrail must roll over in his grave. I apologize a little bit for this as I don't doubt that there are haves, and have-nots at this landmark restaurant. I'm just describing the experience of a have-not. So much for being a gracious guest, graciously informing management of a special occasion, and uncomplainingly doing some damage to the AmEx platinum card. Unless you're somebody special, they don't care. We'll see how long their one-star rating will hold up.
Be the first to ReplyWorld class traditional French restaurant.
Indeed lives up to all my expectations. tremendous wine list..
Be the first to ReplyWe took our daughter here for her 12th birthday.
It's absolutely glorious - the very best of everything - duck, osetra caviar, foie gras, langoustines, crepes flambéed table side and all with a view of Notre Dame and the Seine. The lobby is a piece of history with handwritten notes from past guests like JFK and Emperor Hirohito among dozens of other Presidents, kings and emperors who have dined there over the centuries. Jacket required for the men! (We watched someone be turned away at the door)

Foods was good, but the service was exceptionally great with friendly and entertaining spirits by all staff.I really appreciate the experience and do want to come back to the restaurant to enjoy the excellent service.

This is the best restaurant in the World, we had the corner table overlooking Notre Dame, everything was exquisite, from the brioche and butter, to the pate/foies gras, duck, wine, and champagne.There is a reason Tour d'Argent will live forever, certainly in our hearts and minds.Must go!!!

This is one of those restaurants living off of its reputation. The fact that they lost their Michelin stars and had to fight to try to get them back makes a lot of sense after you go here. There are far better Michelin dining experiences in Paris. One of the biggest turn offs is that they have an American girl working as there's Som. As if that wasn't bad enough, she's actually dressed in men's clothes wearing a tux with tails. Pass.
Be the first to ReplyWhen my wife and I ate at La Tour d'Argent almost 28 years
When my wife and I ate at La Tour d'Argent almost 28 years ago, I didn't know anything about the restaurant and didn't try its famous pressed duck. After almost 28 years of regret, my wife and I finally returned to La Tour d'Argent, this time with our daughter, to finally try it.After we arrived at the restaurant, we took a tiny elevator up to the dining room in the tower. When we walked into the dining room, it was even more beautiful than I had remembered. The glass domed ceiling impressive and Paris IS, after all, The City of Lights; the nighttime view out of the windows is spectacular.We were seated at a table next to a window overlooking the Seine, Pont de la Tournelle and Île Saint-Louis. I think that it was one of the best tables in the house.We started dinner with a glass of La Tour d'Argent's house rosé champagne. Santé!The pressed duck is served only for two. I had pre-ordered it when I made our reservation and planned to share it with our daughter, while my wife ordered a more traditionally prepared duck. My daughter also ordered the langoustine appetizer and I ordered the mystery egg appetizer.The food service started with a trio of amuse-bouches. I'm not entirely sure what they were; the first was a cheese-filled ball of pastry topped with more cheese, the second was a tiny tart filled with acorn squash purée and nuts, and the third was a mystery cube on a cracker. My wife does not have a taste for cheese, but even she enjoyed the cheese ball.After our bouches had been amused, I was presented with THE BIG BOOK OF WINE, which is the biggest and heaviest wine list that I have ever hefted. Fortunately, I had remembered to bring my reading glasses with me and after 10 minutes of trying to pick a bottle of French burgundy, an American sommelier appeared at my side to rescue me. I told her that we liked pinot noirs and wanted a duck-friendly bottle of burgundy in the €250 range. She suggested a bottle of the 2002 Claude Dugat Chevrey-Chambertin, which was perfect.After I was relieved of the BIG BOOK and it was returned to its trolley, we were all introduced to our duck. La Tour d'Argent began counting the ducks it serves in the 1890s. Ours was number 1,175,561. A couple of waiters came by to dismember and skin it, then slice the breast, before returning it to the kitchen for its final preparation. Although I was slightly disappointed to miss the actual pressing of the duck carcass, I think that modern western sensibilities require it to be done in the kitchen.After our duck departed, the next food course of duck consommé with a duck dumpling was served. The presentation felt almost Chinese to me, but the flavors were purely duck.Next, my daughter was presented with her langoustine appetizer and I with my mystery egg appetizer. We had enjoyed some simply prepared langoustines on a cold seafood platter at lunch and she declared the langoustine appetizer to be much tastier and richer. My mystery egg was a sphere served in a purée of green vegetables. I guess that the mystery was how the heck they got a perfectly soft boiled egg into the center of the sphere. When I cut into it with a spoon, the liquid golden yellow yolk ran into the bright green puree. It was delicious and fun.When the main courses were served, my wife received her more traditionally prepared duck breast, while my daughter and I received the first pressed duck course of duck breast in blood sauce. The breast was extremely rare and sliced very thinp. The sauce was made from the bloody juices that had been pressed from the carcass of the duck. Although the presentation was quite plain, the breast was tender, and the sauce was richly flavored with an unexpected hint of sweetness. After we polished off the breast, the second pressed duck course of crispy thigh with accompaniments was brought out. The thigh was the best bite of food that I enjoyed during our week of gorging on food in Paris. Yum!For dessert, our daughter chose the Crêpes Mademoiselle for the table. It was prepared tableside by a waiter with quite a bit of flair. It had been years since I had seen anything flambéed in a restaurant and the fireball was epic.After dessert, we were treated to a trio of sweets, which were a couple of cookies and an intensely flavored fruit jelly.My wife, daughter and I enjoyed many terrific meals during our trip to Paris, but our meal at La Tour d'Argent was my favorite. I won't permit another 28 years to pass before we return. In fact, I'm already planning to dine there again next year. 2022 cannot come soon enough.
Be the first to ReplyMy husband, son and I made reservations months in advance
My husband, son and I made reservations months in advance to celebrate a milestone birthday at this famous restaurant. We immediately received an email asking for a credit card reserve of €200 per person. We were called at least 3 times to reconfirm that we were coming, including a call on the day before. We traveled to Paris from our home in Switzerland and dressed in our finest for the long-anticipated meal. Our reservation was for 19:00. Exactly one hour before we were due to arrive for dinner, we received a call saying that there was a problem in the kitchen and the restaurant would not be able to open that evening. The next time we came for dinner the restaurant would give us a free bottle of champagne. No alternate arrangements or dates were offered. We were left hanging on a Saturday evening at 18:00 with an important birthday to celebrate and nowhere to go. The management of this restaurant doesn't seem to care about its customers.

Eating at Tour d'Argent was a dream for many years and I don't know why it took me so long to fit it ?!Over 400 years of existence and visited by the most famous personalities in the human history it was an incredible experience and outstanding environment in every aspect and every corner of this monument The food also was very good and the wine we choose from the biggest wine list in the planet was amazing We enjoyed our sitting, dinner, service and timeWe simply love it and we will do it again
Be the first to ReplyI really enjoyed dining here, from the elevator ride that's
I really enjoyed dining here, from the elevator ride that's covered with pictures of all the famous people that have dined (Former Presidents, Michael Jackson, Queen Elizabeth, etc etc), to drinking out of the exact same 500 year old cups I saw in the museum it was an adventure well enjoyed. The staff seemed to know exactly when to pour me up (my glass was never empty), and were nice even though we were the youngest couple in there. The food was good and I do understand where a lot of the positive and negative reviews come from. I say drink and enjoy !
Be the first to ReplyWe were so pleased with our experience that I just had to
We were so pleased with our experience that I just had to write a review.We were a little early and were told to sit in the lobby(just beautiful)where we were met by the "elevator operator" who took us to the 5th floorrestaurant. We were greeted with "Bonjours" from EVERYONE,seated at our table and greeted by a host of people. The waiter,busboy,sommelier etc.,all of whom could not do enough for us! They literally walked my husband to the restroom,folded his napkin when he left,and were VERY attentive throughout out dining experience!We asked for the wine list...be prepared,it is a BOOK weighing at least 7 lbs.My advice, have an idea before you go to avoid sitting for a very,very long time thumbing thru this extraordinary voluminous book of wines.The service was beyond compare(and we have eaten in some very upscale restaurants around the world)we both agreed,probably the best service we've ever experienced.Now the food... when we booked we weren't aware you need to order the famous DUCK 2 days in advance....thank goodness my hubby was reading the menu prior to our reservation & called the restaurant to inquire....sure enough NOT on the lunch menu. Luckily we were able to pre order.Before the main course we had a few appetizers (little finger foods) that were delish,and very unexpected as we didn't order appetizers. 2 different bread choices,pressed duck with what they call potatoes, more like potato chips,but excellent!,THEN they took the thigh & leg of the duck & served it in a fabulous sauce AFTER we finished the duck breast!!!! We ordered the crepe for dessert and were told the price was for two...unfortunately when the bill arrived that wasn't so... a lil pricey for a crepe,but what the heck,it's silly to nickel & dime when you're paying SO much for lunch,so we let it go. After the crepe they brought us a plate withlittle pastries....AND then,a plate with delicious chocolates!I've read some of the negative reviews,and as we are real foodies are baffled at some of the experiences people have had.The view,service,food,& experience will remain with us for years to come!
Be the first to ReplyLet's just say it was not what I expected.
I expected the best duck in the world, a half of a pressed roasted duck for which they are famous. What I got instead was two slices - of decent size - duck breast, undercooked (I requested medium). Apparently, their famous dish, which they have been making for centuries, is no longer on the menu. Inexplicable. In addition, the menu is VERY limited - like 7 entrees or so. However, when we arrived for dinner on Saturday night, they were out of beef, lamb, and the vegetarian main dish. The appetizers were also limited - again, they were out of things - so we settled on the wild pike dumpling. Very bizarre, not something I would ever order again, and did not finish. The waiter told us at the beginning that we would not be able to have their crepes Mademoiselle because it would be too late when we finished. How can you have a 9 pm reservation, if that time is too late to serve your famous dessert?My husband and I had planned this meal as a "once in a lifetime" splurge, thinking it would be the most romantic, most delicious meal we ever had. Instead, the staff was very aloof and unwelcoming, the food was ridiculous, our table was in the middle of the room with none of the famous view, and I was so disappointed that I left in tears. And the bill was hundreds of dollars. My advice: read the menu first! It's no longer what it was, they don't have their famous roast duck, escargot, or lobster bisque. What has replaced it is much too pretentious for my taste. Trust your own if you're considering a meal here.
Be the first to ReplyWhat a let down! Stuffy, old fashioned, past it's prime!
What a let down! Stuffy, old fashioned, past it's prime! Looks like they haven't spent a dime on the place since the 1950s. Like the Jules Verne it has the views but little else going for it. Waiters were pretentious and the service was painfully slow. I thought OK the food will be well worth the wait.... wrong! The food was mediocre, served lukewarm and was not of a quality one would expect from such a legendary restaurant. We left disappointed, hungry and about €980 lighter! That was two of us and two bottles of wine.Once again the moral of the story here is to avoid the restaurants in central Paris and venture out to the neighborhoods where local people live and eat! I've had better meals in some very humble bistros for under €50 than I have in these overrated, overpriced dumps that only stay in business because uneducated tourists don't know any better!
Be the first to ReplyMy husband and I considered Le Tour D'Argent one of our
My husband and I considered Le Tour D'Argent one of our favorite restaurants in the world; until last night that is. Literally, I introduced him to foie gras there decades ago. So a few weeks ago when we knew we would be here celebrating our 28th anniversary, he called to make a reservation.For the first time ever, that privilege-- making the reservation-- cost $400! When we arrived at 8;45 pm it was hopping with tons of tourists and a few French guests. That said, It took nearly 45 minutes to be served water. Yes, I said water. I had to ask twice. For dinner, we ordered the famous pressed duck for an entree and were told they were sold out?!?!?! I literally said, but you are Tour D'Argent? They smiled politely and said what a busy lunch crowd they'd had. Weird. Beyond weird, it was like an oxymoron. They did still have foie gras in the pantry, however, thank God. It arrived in a timely manner but seared to the point of if tastelessness. Also When it arrived, I asked the waiter for toast points to have with it. He said that was not a problem. Twenty minutes, and cold/seared--enormously expensive foie gras later, when the toast points still had not arrived, I flagged down another waiter, who quickly--YEAH!!!--went to check with the chef for toast points. He returned saying they didn't have any. Seriously? This is Le Tour D'Argent? Supposedly, one of the best of the best. It's not a huge deal if you don't have toast points, but don't say they are on the way only to recant twenty minutes later when the food has Gone cold. The entree we did have, the sole, was fine, not amazing, but fine. In fairness, the view of Notre Dame and the Seine is spectacular, the waiters very kind, and the presentation lovely. For $1000 for a dinner, however, the cheese and champagne should not be the highlight of the food portion of the experience. So sad, but we won't be back any time soon.

My husband and I celebrated our 35 wedding anniversary at Tour d' Argent and enjoyed the food and amazing service! Attention is paid to every detail and the food is delicious. I recommend the Pike Dumpling appetizer, Skate Wing, Lemon from Melton entree and Ciflorette Strawberry to finish. Our servers could not have been more attentive or helpful. The dining room and views of the city are spectacular. Thank you, Tour d' Argent, for making this a memorable experience.
