Fabulous experience and overall the best restaurant experience I've ever had (despite this not being my first time at a Michelin star restaurant). The highlight was the first entree (the yellowtail), and the vanilla marinated radish that was part of this (pictured) was particularly divine. Really excellent and would recommend to others. Thank you to the staff and chefs.

#8th in my public list on Googlemaps.
An improbable balance between delicate flavors. A small miracle, like a summer snow (Neige d’été)

There’s a lot of competition when you’re a Japanese Chef in Paris. It’s by far the most represented nationality in the Étoilés Kitchens (French aside, and I’m not even sure). This chef (worked in George V) is in the leading one star group.
Two interesting things here. First, and you shouldn’t be surprised, it’s the quality of execution. Superbe. Second, it’s the balance and the width (in taste) of its dishes. He does not hesitate to use a large spectrum in a dish and manages to balance it. Like feeling a snowflake in summer. A striking contrast delicately balanced.

The service is of a good étoilé with its formalism.
The crowd was family, friends and couples. I did not see business but I would have a business lunch here. I guess the location is not the best for that crowd.
A top tiers one star

Update 2022:
Went back. The crowd was roughly the same.
The service was still excellent which is consistent with the previous visit.
Some element of the menu were still there but most were new or changed. You can check my pictures/videos to see the 21 and the 22 (although the pics may not be attached to the review but just uploaded). I ve also noticed some Spanish flavors, which is also consistent with the last visit.

A very solid one star.

Four stars for the pleasant staff and consistent execution in various techniques.

Not all of the dishes "hit" and in some instances the flavors were indistinct. There wasn't a natural theme or flow in flavors from one dish to another that you might expect in a 2+ hour tasting menu.

Service wasn't perfect - empty wine glasses sat on our table for most of the meal after we had finished our first glass.

The Japanese influence seemed minimal, aside from a couple perfunctory references (such as use of binchotan on a couple items).

We had a pleasant experience at Neige d’été today. The food was nice overall and the staff service was exceptional. The only complaint I would have was the mussel aperitif (it wasn’t too fresh or it had a really strong taste). But that’s just my opinion with my particular taste. Maybe it’s perfectly fine for other guests. We are excited to try their sister restaurant Pilgrim another time and will definitely return to Neige d’été as we live around the corner. Thanks to the head chef, the many sous chefs, and the entire staff at Neige d’été for today’s experience.
