Nestled in the charming streets of Paris, L'Agrume was once celebrated as a premier brasserie renowned for its innovative cuisine and warm ambiance. Though it has now closed permanently, its legacy lives on through the memories of those who experienced its culinary artistry. The restaurant was a favorite among food enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated yet approachable dining experience, offering a menu that masterfully balanced tradition and modern gastronomy.

Closed permanently even though you can still make online reservations.
We showed up for our 5/2/2025 reservation, it's boarded up with sign saying "expulsion".
Neighboring restaurants said lease has been sold, restaurant gone for good.

This restaurant never misses the mark.  If you get the chance, sit at the bar and watch chef Franck MARCHESI-GRANDI work his magic.  It is as good as the ballet.  Food is well prepared and presented.  Price is very reasonable.

When you go, reserve in advance and ask for a table on the "terrace" which is really a few tables on the sidewalk. Totally worth it.

The tasting menu was a good value, and we enjoyed beating the heat and staying away from the open kitchen -- too hot to sit near it in the heat of the summer.

The flavors were fresh, combined in interesting ways, and "gastronomique" without being pretentious.

Here are a few items that we had on the tasting menu in July:
- fish on lentil salad
- very soft pork
-  a scoop of marscapone with fresh summer berries

The servers were also very friendly.

Lunch

The starter earned 4 stars; three plates of ham, anchovies salad and an espresso sized soup. Very suttled finishing and hasn't been seasoned a lot so that you'll enjoy the taste of what you eat.
However, main wasn't great. The menu stated bunny with pasta. Some dices of bunny weren't cooked delicately, was chewy and perhaps it was over cooked. Too much pasta, which made it a bit cheap look. Pasta was over cooked but wasn't soggy, thank god.
Mango desert wasn't unique enough. So boring. Mango itself wasn't amazing which was served with whipped cream. I'm sorry this is not deliberated enough. An elementary school girl can do the same. 

Still earned 3 stars as I need to be fair on price I paid; €24 and I didn't have a complain on service - average

Just got to Paris after week in Brussels.  Great change of pace.
Had tasting menu.  Sublime.

The absolute highlight of our first Paris culinary experience! Well worth the effort to experience.

While I'm no food expert, I do know what I like: nicely prepared food that is both familiar and surprising, great service and NO pretension. We were lucky enough to score reservations during the Christmas-New Years week by stopping by one afternoon and asking if they could fit us in at anytime during the week.

The service from the limited staff was great and the food quality astounding, particularly for the price. We sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen (1-man show) and observed the speed, grace and detail of the food preparation from the chef. Given that it was a cold December night in Paris, this was the perfect sitting for my wife and I. Additionally, we requested that the wine was paired to each course.

Menu Degustation (37 Euro) on 12/29/2010:
Roasted Scallop Creamy in its Shell - Dill utter and Celeri Root
- This course changed me from a scallop hater to scallop lover. Amazing.
- Plated in a sea shell on top of sea salt. Simple but elegant.

Creamy Risotto with Truffle Flavour - Cream and Parmigiano
- Perfectly prepared Risotto and simply, but perfectly, plated.

Poached John Dorry - Leeks Coked in Butter and Smoked Foam
- The fish was cooked to perfection, leeks full of a nice subtle flavor complimented by the foam.

Roasted Farm Pork Breast and Carrot Mousseline
- I'm a HUGE pork fan and this was prepared perfectly. Caramelized and crunchy on the outside,  tender and juicy on the inside. Served on the carrot puree with a rich smoky sauce.  

Preserved Quince, Vanilla Whipped Cream and Puff Pastry
- I had low expectations for this, based on how simple it looked. However, the combinations of flavor and texture were just right. 
- This nicely ended the meal with no desires or want for anything else.

What a nice find - okay, I have to give credit to Lonely Planet guidebook.  Normally a skeptic, especially when choosing restaurants from a for-profit guide book, I was humbled and amazed.  My husband and I ordered the set menu of 5 courses:  scallop tartar, john dory (a fish that was perfectly prepared), risotto with oyster, braised lamb shank and dessert.  Amazing.  Our waitress (and likely manager) was incredibly friendly and patient.  Small place - everyone ordered the set menu and seemed incredibly pleased.  You can just tell from the vibe in the room that everyone enjoyed their meal.  An absolute must.

In my opinion, French cuisine is hit or miss; and for the last six months, has been a miss almost every time.  But thankfully a friend sent us Le Figaro's list of best Bistros in Paris.  That's how we found L'Agrume, and it's completely changed our perception of French cuisine.  

My bf and I each ordered the degustation menu, which I'll do my best to accurately recall what it consisted of:

- Halibut tartare w/very thin slices of apple.  It was so refreshing and light, a great starter dish.
- Sea bass risotto w/roasted pine nuts.  This was absolutely amazing, perfect balance of smokiness and citrus.
- Filet of sea bass with leeks cooked in a light chicken infused sauce.  The sauce was a little sweet and just salty enough, it was my favorite dish.
- Magret de canard (duck steak?) was cooked with some type of light soy, and served with an orange sauce that was like nothing I've had before.  It was to die for and the bf's favorite. 
- Whipped egg white foam over banana slices in mango sauce.  My description doesn't do the dessert justice at all..  This was the perfect end to our first REAL bistro experience.  Parisians are always saying that French cuisine is the best in the world, and we've always argued otherwise.  Now we're not so quick to argue.  The staff at L'Agrume was also very friendly and accommodating.

We were recommended to dine at L'agrume while in Paris and were we pleasantly surprised. Prices are very reasonable for a michelin-rated, fine dining establishment. Each course left me wanting more. The food came out so fast and the server was so warm and pleasant. It may have been of the best dining experiences we've ever had

We went here with a small group and each course was better than the last.  Very well thought out menu and the staff was very attentive.  In the summer, it would be very nice to sit outside, only a sidewalk but an opportunity to watch the people.  This is one of the restaurants I recommend on a regular basis.
