    We loved our dinner at Persil! The food was incredibly delicious and super creative, and the team were so lovely. They were able to seat us (2 people) for dinner without a reservation, even though it was very busy. We will definitely be back!!!

    Great restaurant: arriving without reservation in a full restaurant, they did an effort to free up additional space. This warm welcome was continued throughout the evening. Pleased to eat vegetarian food of that goes beyond the traditional, accompanied by tasty natural and organic wines. On top of this, tasteful interior and upbeat music striking the right balance for dinner. When in Paris, we’d come back.

    An absolute delight! The food was flavorful, creative, and incredibly delicious with a variety of flavors!! Each of us literally said “Mmm!” after each bite. As a vegetarian, I was completely satisfied and full from my meal, as well. The chef stopped by to check in and we had to gush over her food- she has great passion for what she does and offers very generous portions. Additionally, the ambiance is lovely and the waiter we had was wonderful! Everyone should stop by this exceptional restaurant!!

    Best meal we’ve had so far in Paris. Super inventive vegetarian and fish dishes. The smoked swordfish was fantastic, as was everything we ordered! Good wine too.

    Cute little place, with good food. However it’s expensive. And you should at least order either a starter and a dish or a dish and dessert. So there’s a hidden minimum charge.

    One of the first and only vegetarian restaurants in all of Paris. They also serve fish. This is a must visit! Intimate. Cozy. Sexy. Local French culture and complex cuisine vibes Ingredients sourced fresh.. feels literally like farm to table Starters.. Mushroom soup: woah! Unlike anything I’ve had before. Delicate. Aromatic. Rich in herbs. Light. Medley of mushrooms the chef adapts to how she’s feeling every time.. never the same.. constantly improving! House special ‘gyoza’: made from mushrooms.. somehow has an Asian twinge to it! Includes algae, green tea, Asian (likely japanese) oyster mushroom .. and secret ingredients of the chef.. suspect contains coriander, parsley, basil.. mind bending. Garnishee with mushrooms on top The bread.. bought fresh from local baker who bakes it with rosemary and fresh herbs. Drizzled in olive oil .. crunchy and crisp. French zatar bread.. Main.. Mikate di bacalao: wow wow wow! Fresh cod.. battered in bread crumbs, spices, fennel and other things.. dressed in different ‘secret sauces’ made by the chef. Must. Get. This!!! Dessert.. ‘Nashi..’ the specialty poached pear dessert: ..not sure how to describe this.. exotic fruits and poached pear with different types of seeds.. slightly natural sweet with a tart tangy taste.. Had opportunity to chat with Chef.. her passion and love for cooking was abundantly clear.. so much so, felt overcome with emotion simply by observing her commitment to her craft.. she spends each morning thinking of how to curate the menu for the day.. and how she can improve the experience for all her guests. And it shows! Service was outstanding as well. Thomas took great care of me.. and was hyper-attentive to all my needs. Part of the amazing overall experience One of the highlights of my París trip!

    Sharing an incredible experience I had last night - Persil in the 11eme. Best meal I have had in a long time. Genuinely delicious food. Went with a good friend had wine, the mushroom dish was very very good the leek mushroom soup was fantastic and the desserts were to die for. Great for Veg/Pesc and the wine was really reasonably priced for the quality --almost gastronomie but still humble mid Mediterranenean mid french with some asian bursts of flavor . Very creative chef and impressive range of dishes -

    This pesco vegeterian dining place is splendid! If you had a chance to dine in this place, you are allowed to consider yourself highly lucky! Every dish here is beautifully plated and served, you'll love it. The ingredients and the way they go along are wonderful. Staffs were perfectly kind and friendly. This place is flawless - definitely worth a try if you ever visit the city

    Cozy, sweet, delicious. Small menu prepared with fresh ingredients, vegetarian and seafood plates. A very charming small restaurant. I would definitely go back and also recommend. Owner Richard is very attentive and his wife is the chef in the kitchen. She cooks everything herself including desserts. One can tell their passion for good food and service. Our server was also attentive, caring.

    We had a great dinner here! Every dish was delicious and fun, great flavors. Was a bit crowded on a Thursday night so a bit slow in service but good experience regardless. Highly recommended for a casual date :)

    Coziest atmosphere! Mocktail, gyoza & dessert are an absolute must. Expected more from the mains though and portion sizes were just too small for my liking. Tables are a bit too small too.

    In a city with few vegetarian/pescatarian focused restaurants, this has become a go-to restaurant for my husband and I. It has a great atmosphere, plays great music, and offers a reliably solid creative food experience.

    This was by far one of our most favorite dining experiences during our trip! The atmosphere is beautiful and intimate. Elsan (I hope I spelled his name correctly) was absolutely Lovely, taking the time to thoroughly go through the menu (we tried every one of his suggestions). The food was divine! You could taste the Love that went into preparing it. I can't wait for our next visit.

    The best meal I had during my trip, inventive, tasty and fresh. The owner was also very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

  • 2/5 Felipe M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food wasn't bad, but no pair to the price, and I was insisted to get 1 main dish per person, as if I was there to make his desired ticket price. Drinks were cheap, no ice, and still expensive. It always took long for us to get a person on our table. I like how the place feels, but won't recommend it, unfortunately.

    Persil is a small restaurant situated out of the way of the main road. Upon arrival there were tables situated outside on the road where roadworks were taking place! But don't let that put you off! Sitting in the road surrounded by roadworks was actually very cool giving the place an interesting setting. The service was brilliant. Good wine recommendations to go with the food we had ordered. Was recommended a natural wine which was delicious. The food was stunning. Fresh and brilliantly made. The only sticking point was upon payment the card machine did not work meaning I had to go and look for a cash point in order to pay. Which was frustrating but do not let this stop you from going to Persil!

    We had a fantastic dinner at Persil. The concept has been lovingly crafted and very well executed we felt very looked after from start to finish. The food was all excellent and it was so refreshing to be able to choose from all the dishes on the menu (not just the one dish as is usually the case). If I lived in Paris, I'd be going all the time!

    We had a beautiful dinner here. The interior space is warm with soft lighting and the service was excellent. The plat we had was possibly the best fish we've had - and the chef was inventive, accommodating, and extremely talented. Merci.

    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.

    They made us eat from this coffee table while the restaurant was empty and they still had plenty of open spots. Food was great though! Just very disrespectful. Others got good seats. Even those entering way later on.

    This is the place you dream about when thinking of vegetarian friendly restaurant! Someone who can make vegetables the star of the meal! Delicious food! Lovely atmosphere! sort of a small neighborhood vibe! and… Great service!

    Highly recommended. The food was delicious and the staff lovely. The place is tiny and curated. Due to its limited dimension tables are quite close to each other, but the way the place has been furnished still manages to create an intimate atmosphere.

    Absolutely lovely evening here. If you find this place, especially early on in your Parisian adventure, consider yourself lucky. It’s intimate, warm, decadent and does not leave one disappointed. Warm service, great selection of food and drinks. When we return to Paris, we will be sure to come back here.
