La Tour d'Argent Paris Reviews
Special Dinner at Tour d'Argent
This is a special experience from the moment the door is opened for you when you arrive. This is a historic restaurant that is also modern and fresh. The staff is attentive, professional and knowledgeable. We were made to feel comfortable and important, even though dining at a restaurant such as this can be a daunting experience. The food is amazing, beautiful and creative (and delicious). The sommelier guided me through the (to be honest, the overwhelmingly large) wine list and distilled the list simply. At the end of the evening, the roof top was not busy. We were invite up to see the Eiffel tower light up and sparkle. Our evening at La Tour d'Aargent was a wonderful dining experience from start to finish.
Magnifique
It was a remarkable experience for a notable event. We both enjoyed immensely. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and found a matching burgundy white from 2004. Food and wine pairing was immaculate. We would love to get a holder for the cork and buy the silver glass (with engraving) to keep the memory of the visit.
Celebrating a anniversary
We received a gift (2 x 150 Euro) for a lunch at the Tour d'Argent. Drinks and a "supplement" cheese were not included. I was not surprised about that, but I was surprised about the cost of that being 128% of the value of the gift. Fine place, great service, but over-priced.
Incredible meal and setting
Lunch at Tour d’Argent is not just about the meal but for the incredible service. The quality of the food is excellent. Even the butter is the best I have ever tasted. It is not a cheap place to go but for that one special occasion, it’s worth every penny.
The food was wonderful and the service was fabulous.
Everyone was friendly and helpful, especially the sommelier, who provided my husband with a variety of non-alcoholic drinks which were superb. The atmosphere, food, and service all combine to make this restaurant one of the best dining experiences.

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
Another 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.
Our 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.
I 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.
World class traditional French restaurant.
Indeed lives up to all my expectations. tremendous wine list..
SURFAIT: Tourist-trap, overrated, pretentious and OVERpriced
Dreadful experience the minute we set foot in this renowned establishment with the Maitre d' refusing to give us a table in the middle when the restaurant was pretty empty: he insisted on sitting us at the very back (with zero view yet the same extortionate prices!) on the basis that we had not booked several months ahead!! He was snooty and unhelpful. The food was nice but standard boring classical French, nothing to excite the pallet. The waiters were lovely but the atmosphere was zero except for some obsequious manager turning up to say Hi. "SURFAIT" is the word to describe this place, an expensive old-fashioned tourist-trap. Totally uncreative and unexciting food: the silver came out as pure theatre. None of the flair, ingenuity or sense of surprise of Marsan by Helene Darroze for example which is simply terrific.
We 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)
