This was a good restaurant, a long time ago. Now, their food and service have taken a major dive. Ordered a bottle of wine - they placed it on the table with glasses & didn't even pour any for us. Tuna tartare was brown in color!!!!   Wouldn't feed that to a cat. 

Other dishes not good & service HORRIBLE

AVOID THIS PLACE - Americans are not welcome here.

We liked this place so much we went back a second time. The mussels were an amazing starter, and the lamb in a puff pastry was great, and unlike anything that I've had before. The staff were nice and super efficient.

I love food. I've eaten a lot of food. I've eaten all sorts of food.

But my dinner at La Maison du Jardin was one of the BEST meals I have ever had. 
It's been 3 days and I still salivate thinking about it. 

Husband and I went on the recommendation of a friend of mine and boy were we impressed!

It's on a quiet stretch last the Luxembourg Jardin and it's not a huge space so make reservations for dinner if you can. It was easy over email a week in advance and they knew who I was when we walked in.

We both ordered the house special. A lamb stew encased in puff pastry sitting on a bed of thin grilled eggplant. 

*excuse moi while I wipe the drool off my face*

The lamb was tender and juicy and flavorful, the puff pastry adding a nice crunchy texture to the soft meat. The eggplant was prepared in such a way that it complimented the savoriness of the meat. Unlike most lamb this was not gamy in the least. It was very subtle and almost shredded. 

We had a salmon tartare for the starter and finished with the poached pear with chocolate ganache. 

Everything was simple and elegant and one of the most amazing meals we have had.
They had other dishes that looked glorious but if you go, I can't recommend the lamb special enough!

Service was friendly and fast and our waitress was lovely and spoke English well so we didn't have to awkwardly butcher our order in French.

Very high quality food, small menu but everything is fantastic. Great wine quality and prices. Most patrons are locals. Very French with stereotypical service (just do it the French way and no one gets hurt).

I have been to Paris many times and this place might be the best, a must try!!

c82e7430-8ac4-4ca9-8253-21fb61983341

Great restaurant. This is the perfect bistro. The lamb in puff pastry and duck were wonderful. This is an underrated restaurant and surpassed our next dinner at a restaurant with twice the price on Saint-Honore.
We would recommend this restaurant and are sure that you will have a great authentic experience.

As an American food snob visiting Paris for the first time, I had day after day of just really crappy and expensive french food. While having wine at a tapas bar, I expressed my frustration to one of the chefs there (Christopher). Christopher suggested that I try La Maison du Jardin and highly recommended them. He also mentioned that this is the restaurant where he first learned how to cook and that they do an fantastic job on traditional french food. Well, I took the advice of a native and I am so thankful for it!

The food here is absolutely divine. My fiance and I both ordered a glass of red wine (amazing). I started with the foie gras and he had the split pea soup. I have no idea what special ingredient they're putting in the soup, but it was so smooth and flavorful. Hands down, best split pea soup we've ever had. We both ordered the braised lamb entree and it was to die for. The lamb was stuffed in a very thin pastry puff and surrounded with thinly sliced eggplant dressed in balsamic. So many different flavors  and such a good balance with different textures. We finished with dessert, which was presented beautifully. By now, we were pretty stuffed and my fiance found that his dessert was too sweet for his liking. The meal came out to be just under 100 euros, which is a bit high, but we have no regrets. This was our best meal in Paris, and we were sad to have to fly home the next day.

One of the best meals I have had in Paris.  I had flank steak, others at the table had lamb and veal.  The prices are for 2or 3 courses.  We had been at a wine tasting so we all opted for 2 courses.  I went for my first course of avocado with lobster and the others went for dessert, creme brulee and floating island, which was meringue with accompanying creme anglaise.  Everyone pronounced everything as magnificent.  It was easy to communicate in English as well.    Don't miss this small restaurant, I assume reservations are a must as it is very small.

Outstanding meal! We thoroughly enjoyed the lamb in pastry puff. We listened to the reviews and they were right. We also had the merengue and hazelnut Creme brûlée for dessert. Was delicious! Highly recommend.

My husband and I came here for dinner after our hotel staff recommended it (you have to make a reservation, place is small and gets packed). Place is quaint, warm and filled with locals (that is already a great sign), food is a pre fix menu  with options of 37euro for three courses  or 30 for two. We picked different options of the fish and the pate for appetizers. My husband had fish risotto and that was delicious, but all was very good and light. I am taking   off one star for bad dessert, neither the crumble  was good or a Carmel float (maybe that is why all locals went with ice cream).

Our last night of dining in Paris turned out to be one of the best thanks to La Maison du Jardin. We had originally sought reservations at another establishment only to discover that that place was no longer open for business. After consulting Yelp, we chose La Maison du Jardin because of all the high star ratings. What a fantastic discovery! 

On stepping inside we were immediately struck by the tasteful, simple elegance of the interior, its quiet ambiance and soft lighting. Our waiter, too, was an absolute treasure. He presented just about the most professional, attentive and personable service we'd experienced during our entire two week stay in Paris. This is saying a lot as we had exceptionally friendly service in absolutely every restaurant that we dined. (In fact, we have never once experienced anything in France that could even remotely be construed as "rude". I have never understood this myth that the French are not friendly to Americans. If anything, I suspect it's the reverse.)

Our reservation was at 7:30 and we were one of only three tables present. This concerned me for only a minute because by 8pm the restaurant was filled to capacity with customers, many of whom were locals. That, to me, is always a reassuring sign. 

For entrées we began with a fabulous chilled gazpacho, accompanied by croutons with fresh chèvre and herbs; arugula salad with warm poached egg and Parmesan crisps; and tuna carpaccio with croutons and black olive tapenade. The dressing on the extremely fresh arugula was subtle and delicious, but the tuna was truly exceptional. 

Our main courses were lamb with thyme stew, cooked for seven hours and serve in a puff pastry bowl atop thinly sliced and roasted eggplant. This was one of the most delicious tasting stews I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Every bite was a savory ambrosia. The other main course was beef cheeks in a burgundy wine sauce that was so rich and delicious it's hard describe it in words. It was accompanied by a small casserole of white beans, fava beans, carrots, onion, and bits of ham in an equally rich and savory sauce. We lingered over every forkful of both, and cleaned our plates of every drop of sauce. We paired the mains with an exquisite, full bodied burgundy red. 

The meal ended with red berry profiteroles and vanilla ice cream and a plate of assorted chocolate delights that included mousse, flourless cake, and ice cream. All unbelievably delicious.

We left our table around 10pm, after engaging in a friendly conversation with our neighboring table about the joys and delights of Paris, and of this wonderful restaurant, La Maison du Jardin!
