My
son
and
I
recently
had
dinner
at
Persil
and
were
blown
away
by
the
food,
the
service,
and
the
ambience
of
the
place.
A
typical
Parisian
bistro
but
with
the
light
touch
that
sets
it
apart.
The
food
is
a
nice
change
from
the
typical
offerings
in
Paris,
combining
some
of
the
flavours
and
craftsmanship
of
classic
French
cooking
with
new
ideas
and
twists.
We
had
gyoza
to
start
and
mikaté
for
a
main
dish,
and
both
were
quite
something.
The
very
cool
chef
came
out
of
the
kitchen
and
visited
our
table
for
a
chat,
which
was
a
nice
touch.
She
started
serving
food
through
Airbnb
experiences,
a
sort
of
supper
club
at
her
home,
before
opening
Persil,
her
first
restaurant.
That
personal
approach
comes
through
in
her
food
and
her
way
with
customers
like
us.
The
service
was
also
great.
Front
of
house
is
a
cool
Canadian-Italian
guy,
who
has
a
nice
manner
about
him.
He's
welcoming
and
attentive
but
without
being
overbearing
or
too
standoffish,
and
combines
North
America's
service
culture
with
the
French
sense
of
vocation
and
professionalism.
I
lived
in
Paris
some
years
ago
and
returned
for
the
first
time
in
six
years
to
find
Persil
a
nice
surprise
that
lived
up
to
its
reviews
in
the
New
York
Times
and
elsewhere.
It
isn't
the
type
of
place
to
get
your
classic
steak
and
fries,
but
that's
the
point.
Go
for
a
nice
change
and
you
will
be
rewarded.
Booking
recommended
-
this
place
is
popular,
especially
on
the
weekends,
so
make
sure
you
get
your
table
sorted
before
you
go.
And
if
any
problems,
the
staff
seemed
pretty
happy
to
help.
Highly
recommended.
