Géméllus is a restaurant in Paris’s seventh arrondissement that is providing tremendous quality and value. My review of a lunch this past week is here.
Thanks very much for this review — now we are looking forward to dining there in a couple days.
Thanks @onzieme, guessing it would be good for dinner too? If you do end up eating there @Deuxchevaux, could you let us know? Merci!
Dinner was excellent. We get and appreciate Onz’s suggestion that the cooking shows a level of “precision” similar to what one receives at Alliance. Service was similarly professional, friendly, and engaging.
At dinner here the choice is five courses (carte blanche) or seven. We took the five, and found it perfect. One of the most memorable dishes was a mackerel consume. The food offerings were very similar to what Onz described at his recent lunch.
Back to the comparison/ contrast with Alliance (aside — we had yet another fabulous lunch there just two weeks ago — indeed, it was probably the best dining we’ve ever had there):
The room here, although stylish (we liked it all except for the main bright cartoonish painting that looms over the space) was considerably louder than expected because on our night, there was a nearby both a table for 10, and also a table for eight. Even French speakers are loud in such circumstances!
We were at a table for four (with Onz and “L”) and there was one additional table in the main room, a three top.
No English was spoken other than at our table, but because of the large tables (one of which was 10 men in suits, no ties) as mentioned the volume was very high for
a Paris restaurant of this type.
(Note, back toward the kitchen, there’s a little alcove table for four, and that would be much quieter. On reflection, maybe we should have accepted the manager’s offer to seat us there. But we would’ve missed much of the restaurant theater.)
PS — and also back toward the kitchen. Check out the WC. Here again there is an interesting comparison with Alliance — both have very interesting appliances.
We will definitely return here. (Yet, all things considered, we will return to Alliance first.)
Re the toilet, I first saw it at Géosmine when it opened a few years ago, but Géméllus was already open by then, I think, so maybe they had it first.
I must remember to include a trip to the toilet when I am out at restaurants. I almost never go! And they are often worth a visit. Thanks for the reminder! Wondering what this fancy toilet can do…And I will certainly put Géméllus on my list. Merci!
