The whole dining experience was very different from the reviews! Food was good and as well the service! The waiter was very polite and he recommended us a very nice white wine. Also, we noticed that he was the only one serving at least 5 tables. We chatted with him and he told us that on weekends, there are only 2 waiters attending to all the tables. So I can imagine the waiting time the other diners experience. Overall, dining there was pleasant n food is good.

We went on a Wednesday in October when they were hosting the Velvet Dinner and the entire experience was incredible. We were a bit late for our reservation but they still seated us right away. We had attentive wait staff. We enjoyed drinks, the green bean appetizer and also chicken dish with au grain potatoes and dessert, everything tasted incredible! I would go back for the food alone. The price was very reasonable. The added bonus is the beautiful decor and the Velvet Dinner Burlesque show- so tasteful, cute and flirty. At the end of the show the restaurant turned into a fun dance party with great music anyone would know. Such a fun and memorable experience! I would love to return again!

Fabulous from start to finish! We visited 10 years ago and came back to celebrate our 10th anniversary. The service by Tiego was impeccable and our meal delicious and unique. We ordered the “beoff sur la beoff” which combined filet and traditional beoff bourgingnon. The Somme’s recommendation of a southern Rhône wine was spot on! The live music was a real treat! Can’t wait to visit again on our next trip to Paris!

A truly unforgettable Parisian experience. Le Bœuf sur le Toit is more than just a restaurant — it’s a journey into the elegance and charm of 1920s Paris. From the Art Deco interiors to the smooth jazz ambiance, every detail is thoughtfully curated. The food? Absolutely delicious. We enjoyed French classics like escargots. Everything was rich in flavor and beautifully presented. Service was attentive and warm without being overbearing. Expect to spend some money, depending on your wine and dishes. Whether it’s a romantic night out or a special occasion, this spot is worth every euro. We’ll definitely be back!
