Nestled in the heart of Paris at 111 rue Saint Lazare, Garnier was once celebrated as one of the city's premier seafood restaurants, renowned for its exquisite French cuisine and elegant ambiance. Although it closed its doors in August 2023, its legacy as a culinary gem continues to inspire food lovers and culinary explorers. Garnier's rich history is woven into the fabric of Parisian gastronomy, making it a must-remember name among seafood aficionados and fine dining enthusiasts.

After a busy day seeing the sights of Paris, this was the perfect spot for dinner, as it was literally across the street from our Hilton Paris Opera hotel. There were 6 in our party, and we did have reservations. Service was very good, and everyone at the table enjoyed what they had. I went with the beef fillet, and it was awesome. Cooked just right, and the hash brown-like potato cake it was on was great. Also had the house Cotes du Rhone red wine, which was very good. Our group had a very bad experience with steaks at another restaurant nearby, but not so here. This is the place to go if you want a great steak in Paris.

The worst seafood platter I have never had, period!  The lobster was dried out and over cooked, sad sad sad.  Very surprised it was a 4 star yelp and I felt we wasted a meal here.  Full disclosure I don't write 1 star reviews but this is it!

Service was meh - our server truly don't want to be here.  

We left our lobster untouched, coz it was so dry.   If you want some great seafood I would recommend Clamato (sister restaurant of Septime)

We happened to take a wrong turn and found this delightful restaurant with really good French food. 
White table cloths, polite staff and quick service. We enjoyed an excellent steak with a perfectly crisped potato base. A butter scallop dish over spinach topped with citrus sprouts. Both dishes were melt in your mouth delicious. We only had room for a creme brûlé which was a perfectly creamy end to the meal. I would loved to hit repeat with this meal.

⁣Restaurant Garnier has multiple seafood platters to choose from. ⁣
The best discovery is Crevettes Grises! Small grey shrimp that is supposedly widely used in Belgium. It is packed with flavor on its own and difficult to stop eating it!⁣
The crab is also filled with crab roe!⁣
Soooo good!⁣

We came here twice for breakfast because our hotel was right around the corner, we ordered 4 omelettes total and got literally 4 different omelettes. Both times the server, different people got our order wrong despite us literally pointing at the menu.

I asked my concierge at the Hilton Opera where to eat. My two criteria were that it had to be great food and relatively close. She recommended this restaurant saying it is the best seafood in Paris. It did not disappoint and turned out to be the best meal of the trip. So good I kept forgetting to take pictures. Sorry!
We started with 3 appetizers, one of which was a main dish divided between us. It was the grilled prawns. He said there were 5 to an order, but if we decided on it, he would put 6 prawns - 3 each. Done deal. They were served in the shell with heads on and so sweet. I could have had a bushel more! We also got the escargot (we are in Paris so it seemed a requirement). They were garlicky and juicy and delicious. They were served classic style in the shell. We also got the fish soup which was puréed. It was a deep dark color between red and maroon. It was thick. The flavor was unforgettable. Wow. All three choices were good.
For my main, I got the John Dory. According to the menu, the John Dory came with fried vegetables. After receiving it and some discussion, it was obvious this was a mis translation. They were julienned and Sautéed in butter; the fish was on top. I asked about the mashed potatoes having once been told by a famous chef in NY that he always judged a French restaurant by the mashed potatoes. I ordered it as a substitute side. Wow! They stole the show. They were served in a separate copper mini pot, creamy, and glided down my throat. I will never forget them. 
For dessert, I asked about the cherries in liquor. Instead of describing them, he asked if I wanted to try them first before ordering. Duh- yes! They were great and I ordered it. 
The service was perfect and everyone was so nice.
The evening started off weird because a couple next to us were taking a phone call on a speaker phone. They were loud and a noxious. Not sure what the waiter said to them, but they left almost immediately like they just realized they were in public. 
I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Super dry lobster! Was here for a snack and super disappointed after reading other reviews. Service is also slow and not attentive. Look somewhere else for fresh seafood.

Nice place friendly staff but the chief was not on the mark.  Oysters we good bit the scallops came out cold and under cooked.  When I told the staff they said sorry it was the backup chief lol.  They still charged me.

Not good

Friendly casual place with amazing (non-tourist) proper French food

Check out their menu - it has a lot of the French fine dining staples and a great wine list. We got a ton of seafood and steak dishes, and pretty much all of them were world class. Can't go wrong.

Also great service and a proper wine list. Upscale but down to earth

Would highly recommend this place
