CHEZ JANOU

Had this place on our wishlist for Paris! Got a table spontaneously at lunch time! So so worth it and amazing! Great service right from the start, food was amazing and the ambiance Paris at its best ????

If you can handle getting your reservation - which can be unpleasant - once you get there - and hopefully they find the reservation you made and you get seated - it's amazing. Great food - great staff... a must in Paris. The caveat is - if you can make the reservation in person - that's better than calling. If you call - the staff is - rushed - and their response can range from distracted to crabby. I learned the hard way - always confirm the reservation. But - once you get in - and get situated - it's fantastic.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Paris, Chez Janou whispers the secrets of the city's golden age of gastronomy, a time when every corner promised a culinary adventure, and the simple act of choosing a restaurant was a delight unto itself. Those halcyon days, sadly, have faded, leaving in their wake the necessity for the modern gourmand to navigate Paris's culinary landscape with a carefully curated list of destinations guaranteed to satiate the palate. It is within this contemporary context that Chez Janou emerges not merely as a restaurant but as a culinary haven, a testament to what Parisian dining can and ought to be.

Every dish served at Chez Janou is a testament to the prowess and passion that resides within its kitchen. A recent visit with a group allowed us the luxury of sampling a generous swath of the menu, revealing a consistency in quality that is as commendable as it is delicious. From the appetizers to the main courses, every dish was crafted with a level of care and expertise that made each bite a celebration of French cuisine.

The excellence of Chez Janou extends beyond its culinary achievements to encompass the service and atmosphere that frame the dining experience. The staff's professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness elevate the meal, ensuring that each guest feels both valued and pampered. Moreover, the restaurant's ambiance, with its authentic charm and lively spirit, captures the essence of Parisian joie de vivre, making every visit a memorable occasion.

However, Chez Janou's popularity comes with its challenges. The demand for this exceptional dining experience means that securing a reservation is a must. Prospective diners are advised to plan ahead, as the chance of securing a table on a whim is slim. But this minor inconvenience is a small price to pay for the culinary delights that await at Chez Janou, a crown jewel in Paris's dining scene, inviting patrons to partake in a gastronomic journey that harkens back to the city's glorious heyday.

Posto incantevole. Cibo veramente buono e con una notevole varietà di pastis. Il personale è molto affabile. Noi non avevamo prenotato, ma siamo riusciti a sederci dopo un'oretta circa. Buono il rapporto qualità prezzo. Da tornare

We ate pretty well. However, we faced a lot of stress in finding a place because, even though we tried calling the restaurant for three days (many times per day), they never replied, this was truly stressful and frustrating; for this reason, we went there one day very early and they told us to wait 45 mins and put us on the waiting list. And ok. But after 1 hour they did not remember us; after some more time they let us sit but outside. It was very cold and there was not any heating outside. Food was ok but it is not possible that it is so difficult to go and eat at a restaurant.
