Marsan par Hélène Darroze

We had always wanted to dine at another female Michelin Chef’s (our other experience was with Pic in Singapore and London) so we really looked forward to Marsan. Lovely restaurant with impeccable service by a team led by Dimitri and the dishes were both beautifully presented as well as delicious. The Asian ingredients were interesting and the wine pairing introduced us to wines and vineyards we didn’t know before. We look forward to returning eventually for the Chef’s Table if we could find enough friends to join in.

We booked “Chef's table” for 3 persons, Fantastic relax and enjoy meals with company, 💜🇹🇭🇩🇰🇸🇪We loves to sitting the behind the scenes work,I promise you it's worth every extra Euro to watch this top level kitchen at work. There is something special about seeing your dishes crafted from start to finish in this tight ship of a kitchen. The service was impeccable and the food was truly a unique experience. Come see for yourself whether this restaurant deserves its 2 Michelin stars! And The surprising association between chocolate and confit pimiento del Piquillo... Colombian chocolate from Nicolas Berger as a creur, walnut biscuit and praline, chipotle condiment, chocolate/chipotle sorbet, crispy arlettes Desert: I really enjoy this menu because it’s very good in mixing 😍😍The combination of chocolate and candied pimiento del Piquillo..Creamy Colombian chocolate, biscuit and praline with nuts, chocolate/chipotle sorbet and crispy arlettes..

Absolutely fabulous! We enjoyed a 10 day culinary visit to Paris. Of all the places, Michelin and not Marsan was without a doubt the #1 meal. Excellent service, presentation, flavors, ingredients not one thing could have been better!! We had a tasting menu and the wine pairing. This is a two star Michelin and certainly well deserved!

We had high hopes for Marsan, but the evening was a disappointment on several fronts. Most importantly, the food. We found many of the combinations odd and not particularly compatible rather than inspired or interesting. Presentation was typical of high-end restaurants, not unique or spectacular. Bland hake which seemed to have been water-bathed and little else merited only a couple of bites. The crust of house-made bread was burnt in places as was the canelé given to us as we left. Unacceptable. Champagne was bordering on unpleasant (I should have rejected it so my fault on that.) and a pinot noir was mediocre. The rest of the meal had high points, but nothing that wowed as we expect from a 2-star Michelin restaurant. Service was friendly. The atmosphere is nice, but nothing noteworthy. Although Marsan called ahead to confirm and to ask what anniversary we were celebrating, nothing anniversary-related appeared at the meal. They owed us nothing regarding our anniversary, but it reflects a lack of attention to detail. Our 9-course meal dragged out over 4 hours. It wasn't a bad meal (hence the 3 stars), but it felt like more of an endurance test than a joy. Fortunately, my date was excellent company.
