LE CHRISTINE

Cuisine inventive et maîtrisée. Service souriant et avec beaucoup d’efficacité et de simplicité. Cadre cosy et raffiné. Menu en 5 temps au prix mérité. Je regrette juste les tarifs des vins au verre trop élevé. Presque rédhibitoire pour la quantité versée…

Unfortunately, I was very, very disappointed by this experience. Having grown up in a household with a French chef (who worked at Troisgros and Maxim's de Paris to name a few) , I know I have a high bar for expecting quality. That said, the food presentation was truly amazing. The flavors unique and surprising at times. However, some of the dishes were extremely salty and not to my liking. The service was horrible to mediocre and not what I would expect of a restaurant of this caliber. The waiter was so-called nice enough, but he kept serving and picking up food across my face and that of my family. He even bumped the head of my cousin when picking up some of the dishes at the end of the meal. He apologized, but seriously not professional. The serving pace was extremely slow (ridiculously slow). The waiter did not "read the room". And there were very few customers, so I don't know why each presentation lingered for so long. Additionally, we were never offered more to drink. An additional carafe of water would have even been appreciated. And before I forget, the sommelier said he preferred to be a called a "winest"... just weird honestly. The drink selections were awful. Two apertifs... no, make that one because they didn't have the makings for the other at 7:30pm. And just overpriced wine. Maybe we were treated differently because we chose not to do the pairing with the meal (?). We had the "Menu en 5 temps". It was too much for me, but that was not the fault of the restaurant. The fact that I expected (and was told) that it should be an approximate 2-hour experience that ended up being 3+ hours was a big part of the problem. And even though the ambience was nice, the seating was very uncomfortable for such a long, long dinner.

This was supposed to be a gift to my family, but it ended up being a waste of money and time. Last but not least to make this a most dreadful experience for me, I made the mistake of adding a tip when the tip was already included in the final bill. It was my first night in Paris, and I forgot that most simple custom. I can only hope that the extra 132 euros went to the kitchen who deserved that "appreciation" more than anyone else in that restaurant.

Tout, absolument TOUT y était bon comme beau ! À ne pas omettre en mention un excellent service - tout en délicatesse - et une carte des vins en accord tout bonnement parfait ! Merci Thibaut, Camille, Erwan et Rodolphe ! ❤️

Le christine was outstanding. The food, the wine pairings, the ambience and decor and the hospitality. Everything was flawless. Pricing for a 7 course tasting was very reasonable. Our favorite restaurant by far on our first trip to Paris.

One of my favourite restaurants in town! I went with my partner last night to celebrate his birthday and everything was just top notch. We ordered 5 course menu and everything was seasonal and full of creativity. The wine pairing was a cheery on top and the desserts were magnificent. Thank you for a great experience.
