Laurent - Paris 8e Arrondissement

This place has got it right. High quality everything, well presented and well served. I will be back .

Visited with friends for a casual lunch to enjoy the Parisian summer. The outside terrace was ideal for a relaxed lunchtime meal. The menu provided a delightful mix of light fresh meals with some signature dishes Laurent do so well. As always we were extremely well looked after allowing for our poor ability to speak French. The service was exemplary and all dishes presented with nothing less than the utmost style and care. The external terrace provides a sublime backdrop to the best of French cuisine with the freshest of ingredients. The tomoto salad starter was light and flavoursome which stood well against the richer beef with air potatoes. A must when in Paris.

Hidden on a side street, well away from the noise of the traffic, in a lovely outdoor setting, this place is a gem. Food was fabulous and services was great. My wife and I went there for lunch (they have a great special at lunchtime) and enjoyed a relaxing 2 hours. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We were recently at Laurent, a party of four. My, how awful this restaurant has become. The serving staff is indifferent. Food portions have grown small and the quality has significantly deteriorated. One of our guests asked for a small piece of cheese and we were charged for an entire cheese service and my related complaint met with too bad. Each time we have been there the number of customers has decreased. This dying restaurant should be closed and someone with integrity and a great chef should replace it as soon as possible. Until that happens, we recommend it be avoided.

Missed 2 courses, served wrong wines and found some hair in our shrimp. Worst Michelin experience I’ve ever had in Paris
