One of my favorite meals in Paris, this hidden gem (down a ways away on Rue René Boulanger off of Rue Saint Martin in le Marais) is a must-visit (if only for the semi-public bathrooms-I saw one man walk in, use it, and then leave without ordering anything.) 

The reason for 1 Star off? Slightly inattentive and slow service. Servers spoke English and gave me an English menu right off the bat, but I had to flag them down a few times and walked up to the counter at the end to pay.

The menu changes every day or even meal I believe. 

They have a nice deal--you can order a la carte or get a starter, entree, and dessert for around 34 euros (some specific dishes are extra.) 

Oeuf cuit basse (Egg appetizer): The squash puree was creamy and good. The bacon bits worked well as a nice contrast, adding a nice crunch. 
Pork chop entree: The meat had good consistency. Juicy. Side of potatoes burst with flavor upon each chew. 
Black Forest dessert: There were large pieces of tangy cranberry. Creamy with chocolate pieces and tiny pieces of lettuce sprinkled on top so it looked like a Black Forest. 

I'd be back.

I was really looking forward to visiting this restaurant based on reviews, but was a little disappointed by it. To be fair, we weren't as hungry, so skipped an appetizer (none jumped out at us) and stuck with entree and dessert. The entrees were okay. I enjoyed mine, but it didn't wow me. The other entree we ordered was also a white fish, and it was very blah and lacked seasoning. The desserts, however, were creative and tasty. We had the meditation basil cake (like an olive oil cake with basil flavor - if you enjoy non-sweet desserts, this one was great!) and the avocado cremeux with fruit (an interesting mix). Friendly & attentive waitstaff who spoke English and a good amount of elbow room between tables. All in all, a good restaurant, but probably not one I would revisit.

This place was amazing. Best meal we had in Paris. If you are from out of town and want excellent French wine and food, this is the place to go. We went to a couple other places on Yelp and were kind of disappointed because they were too American and not authentic. 

My wife had a line caught fish dish and I had a steak and potatoes dish. Both were great, but the fish ranks in one of the top meals I have ever had. The ceviche was also excellent, it had so much flavor and was so fresh. We also asked for a recommendation on the wine and were given two excellent wines at about 7 Euro a glass which was pretty inexpensive compared to what we had been paying at other restaurants. 

We wish we had time to go again. This is true French dining and the real experience. If you are an American and are looking for that type of place, this place is perfect. The staff spoke English and also had the menu in English which made it much easier. We can't wait to go back next time!

My husband and I went to Paris for a week. I wanted to dine at a place locals go and have a great evening meal.
Our concierge recommended Chameleon. 
The fresh, local ingredients, the staff, the chefs & the owner of Chameleon was all that I wanted out of the "local food experience ".  
The food was clean and honest, the wine was wonderful. If this restaurant was located in my home city, I would be a regular. I will never forget the food and experience that I had at Chameleon. When we return to Paris, we will be making our way to Chameleon to enjoy another meal. Love love love Chameleon! 
I had the Pink mushroom carpaccio, the aged beef tataki, and Rhubarb.

This is my new restaurant crush of the rentrée!

I first heard about it from David Lebovitz who wrote about it with unusual superlatives in his monthly newsletter. Then a scan of fab Yelp reviews supported his claim and I reserved a table for that very night. 

This place checks all of the boxes of what a modern French bistro should be: a spacious, airy restaurant with very friendly staff, and a truly seasonal, evolving menu of inventive but unfussy dishes at affordable prices. 

The evening menu is 37E for entree, plat and dessert, but you could order à la carte, which is what I did since I was heading out dancing afterwards and wanted to be a bit light on my feet. 

My entrée of seared tuna over greens with a tangy plum sauce and pickled onions was heavenly. I'm still dreaming of that sauce and wishing I could slather it over just about anything. My main dish was a more daring choice, thick, juicy slices of grilled marinated pork served over sauteed kale with a light licorice sauce that had a great sweet and sour balance. It was a little greasy, but the waitress warned me so, but not at all heavy in the end. 

On the subject of service, it was all perfect. Our waitress was adorable, super accommodating and had a respectful but pal-around way of chatting with the table. The other staff seemed to have the same attitude with their tables.

One of my top meals in Paris - a 4.5. This place is sort of tucked in a side street full of random eateries. Dinner can be a la carte or a starter/main/dessert for 37 euros. Our server spoke enough English to help and there was an English menu describing the dishes. The owner speaks English as well and is really friendly and stopped by to with us chat a few times. 

Lots of locals with a couple of tables with non-Parisians. Casual environment where you feel relaxed to dine. Food is of good portion and excellent flavours. This is modern French food with a focus on what's in season. There was definitely a layer of interesting yet subtle and complex flavours in every dish. 

Starters: poached oyster with cucumbers was a cold dish - delightful and referring. I love the white asparagus here (it's currently in season in May). Asparagus wasn sweet and paired well with the salty chorizo. 
Mains: veal was seasoned and cooked perfectly and the sides were perfection. The duck breast was also cooked perfectly and delicious. 
Third course, we went with the cheese platter and it was heaven. Couldn't remember all of the names but I particularly loved this goats milk cheese that just oozed so seductively. 

Overall I would recommend this place especially if you're in the 10rh arrondissement. But also worth visiting even if you aren't in the area.

This is a farm to table restaurant in Paris-- one of the few (if not the first) in the city, according to their menu. If you told me that I could eat every meal here, I would seriously consider moving in with the Gypsies down the street. I do hold one thing against this place though. The problem is that whenever somebody says, "Paris," I feel an overwhelming urge to say, "There is this great restaurant there-- farm to table-- blah, blah, blah" but I can't say that because then I would be one of those people who walks around saying things like that. So instead, I keep it bottled-up inside. One of these days, I'm just going to crack, and knowing how these things go, it will happen at the most inopportune time, like at a funeral, or in Ohio.

This restaurant is a real gem and I highly recommend visiting. We went at the recommendation of our B&B owners as it is right around the corner, and I am so glad we did. I called ahead of time and was able to make a reservation even at 10pm (we had late plans that day). Our plans ended at bit early and we showed up around 9:22 and were seated at the table we chose outside. 

The 2 servers (one owner? one waitress) were both very friendly and welcoming. They had an English menu that they offered right away when they heard us speaking (much appreciated). 

The food was excellent! I had a porkchop and potatoes in a pan sauce to die for. It was not fancy, but I would have eaten it 3 more times if I could have. And for dessert, an apple tart with raspberry sauce and cream on top that honestly had me thinking about it for 3 days after. The appetizer is not sticking in my mind as well, I think it was an avocado tartare with an orange mouse. It was fine, but not nearly as memorable as the other 2 courses. 

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, and I will definitely be back the next time I am in Paris (which I think I can only really say about 2 or 3 places out of 30).

Once and a while you have an absolutely perfect meal. Tonight I had that pleasure. If you are anywhere near Paris and don't walk into these doors shame on you.

Stumbled up on this gem, and we were not disappointed!!! Best meal we had in Paris, the food had good quality and tasted like nothing we ever had. They didn't have a lot of waiter staff to help the customers, only one younger lady and her dad took cares of whole restaurant, which was pretty impressive. You can get one appetizer, one main course and one dessert for a set price.
