Le Zimmer

We went here for a birthday dinner after reading the ratings. Started with a Kir Royale, which tasted off. I had the steak, which was too raw for medium or medium/rare. Mom had the fish which was average.

Service was very slow considering there were only a few tables. Restaurant was clean but fruit flies everywhere. Severely disappointing.

We had dinner there and my god, the food was delicious. Our server was friendly, helpful and courteous. We were seated quickly. Drinks were great and food was excellent. So pleased with the experience!!!

Given its location and flash, this could have been a tourist trap, and certainly was not. Warm welcome, pleasant & cheerful service, impressive decor, delicious menu, all at prices significantly lower than NYC.

Celebrated New Year's Eve here with my wife on our second time to Paris. We found this place through The Fork, a yelp type of site in France. They had a preset menu which was €69 per person and seemed like a value compared to other restaurants.

I had the Duck Fois Gras for the entree, the Rossini Beef Fillet for the starter with Truffle Purée, and the Large Macaron for desert. All but the entree were great for my palette. I found the duck flavor to be a bit unique and couldn't quite finish it. The Beef fillet was very tender and paired really well with the mashed potatoes and it was also a sizeable portion.

The staff and our waiter were all very nice and gave us enough time between dishes and made the experience great. The space is a bit small and they offer outdoor seating as well with heated lamps. They have a coat closet and some restrooms downstairs and it is a close walk here to the metro as well as Notre Dame and Pont Neuf if you need to catch a river cruise.

An okay option for French cuisine. The appetizer, truffle soup, was absolutely dreamy and delicious. My friend's chestnut soup was also unique yet tasty. However, the duckling was very hard to cut and chew and the truffle macaroni was dry and bland once you got past the top. The dessert, on the other hand, chocolate moelleux, was absolutely rich and delicious! Either a hit or miss with this restaurant.

A great meal. Perfect French surroundings. Perfect surroundings, great service. Food was magnificent. I had the Chicken coco-curry. Excellent

Nice atmosphere and deco!
However waiter played smart-as, we ordered dessert and didn't want the big fork and knife, only spoon, then he went to an other table and told them "weird tourists that don't eat dessert with fork and knife" and they all laughed, made us feel uncomfortable.

We happened upon it as we were hungry and it did not disappoint. Lovely, classy interior, delicious food and very good service. Had the pumpkin soup to start, which was amazing, and roasted chicken with squash purée - delicious!

I visited in July. I am only giving it a 3 because we only went in for drinks. I ordered the Edelweiss and loved it. Being my first visit to Paris, I wanted to try new things. I will say that if I have opportunity, I would go back as the food smelled delicious and I would love to try it. It is near Notre Dame, so if you are near there, I would suggest you visit.

Recently on a trip to Paris my friend and I were dining all over the city and taking in the warm views of centuries old culture. Being a wonderful city to venture around, we ate at a different restaurant nightly, as any good tourist would. Now my girlfriend is a bit squeamish when it comes to some kinds of food and even more so when it comes to specific kinds of living creatures. She's not a snob, or specist toward undomesticated animals but that doesn't mean she won't scream when presented with a rodenta animalia of the fuzzy grey variety. This of course was part of my male belief system, such as it is.

It's been a wonderful vacation so far and I didn't want to have it ruined for her but the quick sprint between tables by the runner in grey was undeniable. Because her back was to the dinner guest I had the advantage of not notifying her of the intruder. Keeping calm I forced my eyes back into my head and smiled when she asked, "Did hear what said"? Other diners were oblivious to the dinner guest which was amazing because it was actually running over their shoes! I wanted to watch this with helpless fascination but could not let on lest my friend freak. Trapped between "Tell her?" and "Don't do it!" I struggled with paying even closer attention to her conversational offerings than normal.

After 25 minutes of multitasking I was starting to show signs of great mental disturbance which was beginning to alarm my girlfriend with thoughts that I had not liked the food.

"No, the wine was very fine, and so too is the lamb." Unconvinced she wanted to know what was going on. She demanded that I come clean on what was going on. I was sure this would be a great upset for her to know there was a mouse with little whiskers and claws possibly running over our cheese plate prior to its arrival to our table, but I was stuck. I will not ruin dinner, I thought.

"Look, I'm just thinking that we've had a wonderful trip to Paris."
"And, you have something to ask me, " she questions with a slightly hopeful tone.
"Well," I demurred. "Sure, it's been really cool. Don't you think?"
"That's all? Look, Brian, I can tell you're not telling me everything. Are you seeing someone else!"

I almost choked to death on olive pit and ended up spitting it across the floor where the little grey stranger took it and hustled under the table of the couple sitting a few feet away. It turned and gave a curious look at me while working it's whiskers in a wry kind of smile if one could call it that. I smiled and almost laughed out loud. Then with horror I realized I had just visibly smiled at my girlfriends assertion that I was seeing someone else!

"Yes, wait, no! Of course, not. I mean what would make you think that?"

But the damage was already done. I could see on her face the collapse of the warmth we had had only a few moments ago turn to icy despondence.

"Sweetie," I cooed, "I could never do anything like that. I'm just. You know. Umm."

"You better tell me what's going on," she said. "Now!' I was stuck there wondering how this had happened. The eyes of the wicked monster stared mockingly at me and my sweet's eyes glared impatiently, and I felt helpless. Just then a woman in the table nearby had spied the mouse as he made a dash for sliver of fallen cheese.

"Oooh," she cried. Not so very loud as a wine cork leaving a bottle for the fist time, but audible enough that it brought attention to her from around the room. Suddenly several diners were watching the floor with interest.

"Look," I said! "A mouse!" And turning her head she laughed at the site of what was honestly a cute looking little grey beast. Turning back to me she seemed to understand something and pulled in close toward me to say,

"Did you know that was there?"

"I really didn't want to say anything about it, but you know. . . "

We ended our meal and had a good walk back to the metro station talking about all the things we saw.

So, if there is a mouse on your trip to Le Zimmer, it just means that the food is really good. Might I even suggest giving up an olive just to be polite.
