    Great food and service (they speak English very well); there’s a good balance and mix of locals and tourists. The place is small and they only take reservations by phone. Had the octopus as starter. Mains: I got the roast beef and my wife had the fish (daily special on the day) with 3 glasses of wine.

    If you wanted to eat here, I would really recommend booking as we saw about 6 groups being turned away during our meal. It's a cosy atmosphere with friendly service. Even in limited tables, we didn't feel rushed to turn our table around. My personal preference regarding the food, I felt like there were too many sharp sour elements in every dish which made it feel unbalanced.

    This hole in the wall bistro is simply sensational if you w at a no frills genuine French food experience. Wine boxes are cluttered around tables and the menu is small but the food is absolutely exceptional and always has been. Meat, fish, soups, and vegetarian dishes and excellent desserts. Gorgeous wines by the glass and the menu changes regularly. Hugely popular and tiny so book ahead.

    Had a lovely lunch at Juveniles with my mom on our last day in Paris! You have to make a reservation, so call in advance for dinner and a day or two before for lunch. The service was really friendly and the spot felt homey. I tried the rabbit, and it was cooked perfectly. So happy we were able to go!

    Perfect cozy place with vine vibe - you definitely need to book ahead. Food is very nice and reasonably priced for the quality and area, wine 🍷 is great, also make sense for taking some bottles wit you. I has a single table looking at the street - almost theatrical experience! Will be happy to be back.

    We had an absolutely excellent meal here. The vibe was casual, cozy and quaint, the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. The wine selection is very good and they had great pairing suggestions. We got the Calamari starter, scallop and duck mains, and fig/almond cake dessert. We will definitely be coming back next time we're in Paris.

    After a week of dining out in Paris for every meal, this restaurant tops my list. We managed to snag a table on a Friday night at 9pm without a reservation—though I'd advise booking in advance. The ambiance is intimate and welcoming. The gnocchi starter was exceptional, and my fish dish was flawlessly prepared: tender and flavorful. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Paris and look forward to returning.

    For the first time, I had an incredible birthday dinner celebration at Juveniles. I read positive reviews on Google about how people discovered this location. It had outperformed my expectations, much to my surprise. The food is superb. Every appetizer, main course, and dessert were exquisitely prepared. The staff was warm and welcoming. It has the feel of a cozy bar where you can hang out with your friends and family. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    We ate often at Juveniles and our last dinner did not disappoint. Excellent fresh ingredients, tasty but light dishes, friendly and knowledgeable waiters and beautiful presentation. Even a little too long wait between courses did not hamper our satisfaction..

    Such a lovely little casual restaurant in Paris. The dishes are delicious, they have a great selection of wines, and service was friendly. Don’t walk in, definitely call to book in advance. Lots of tourists here as well as Parisians. The razor clams were delicious!

    Exceptional experience with a cozy ambiance that made me feel right at home. The dishes were all prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. Every bite was a burst of flavor, and the presentation of each dish was beautiful. The service was impeccable, with the waitstaff being attentive and knowledgeable. Overall, I had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious dining experience.

    I had a great lunch at Juveniles. I got the daily special, which was a white fish with a cream sauce. It was very good, although a bit of a light portion. The service was good, but not particularly attentive. The inside of the restaurant is nice, although a bit small and there are no outside tables.

    I loved my experience at Juveniles. Ery thoughtful menu and wine program. Every dish was amazing. Simple pure flavors expressed in every plate. The wine list has great range from Simple and fun at 30 euro to exclusive at 500 euro. Must go everyone time I visit Paris.

    At Juveniles, the food is fresh and seasonal, and the wine pairs well. It is a spot where a reservation is recommended - only by phone call, but if you are not French, do not worry, as someone should be able to help you on the phone in English. In fact, the founder of the spot is originally from Scotland, and it is now run by his daughter (FOH) and son-in-law (head chef). On this occasion (January 2024), we had two variations of the same dish - one with scallops (pictured, top) and one with plaice, a variety of flounder (pictured, bottom). Both served with grilled squash, a bed of sautéed onions, citrus, and delicious lettuce. Both varieties of fish were fresh and fantastic. Wine selection was abundant. Service was professional. Wonderful spot.

    A wonderful little restaurant and wine bar! We loved everything we ate here, but especially the octopus! It was so good, we got it as an appetizer and then we got another order of it for dessert! The staff here is also incredibly friendly - a family run business and they are so helpful and sweet. Good recommendations for which wines pair with the food they serve. Can’t wait to come back the next time we are in Paris!

    Favorite Parisian meal from our two trips in the last few years. We had lunch in the small space which looked tight with the full house but still felt comfortable and spacious enough to enjoy our meal. Service was quite friendly and helpful which surprised me since I had a hard time when calling to make reservations with my limited French. On this day they spoke great English and made dining very easy. Starters were exceptional if a tad bit salty. Grilled razor clams with ginger and watercress with a buttery sauce. Delicious with the bread. The other was grilled octopus with new potatoes, sopraseda sausage, broad beans and sorrel cream. It was lovely. We could not decide which was better. The mains were equally strong: roasted rack of pork with Parmesan gnocchi and sautéed chard- excellent. The wild turbot fish was maybe even more delicious and came with several different side flavors too. There were many delectable bites in each dish that all went together beautifully. We had no room for dessert which saddens me but will save space next time. As we left the hostess told me that when I first arrived for our lunch (I had walked ahead of my wife since we were running late for our reservation) and told her “J’attends mon mari” I had said “I’m waiting for my husband” which made her laugh as she saw my beautiful wife come in so I also learned a little French over lunch!

    Found this place on a blog and it really was great! Simple wine bar that does everything well. We had the chanterelle mushrooms to start and Entrecôte as the main. The entrecôte also came with a salad and a really well whipped, creamy potatoes. They cook the entrecôte rare but to an American, it would be closer to medium-rare. It was a lot of food but too good to pass up!

    Simply fantastic. Short menu, but everything was exceptional. The tuna steak in particular was perfectly seasoned. Wine recommendation was spot on. Highly recommend.

    Found this spot on a random travel blog and decided to book after checking out all the great reviews. It was the most gorgeous and delicious meal! Service was professional, and the food was fresh and flavoursome. I wish I could give this 10 stars, bravo!!

  • 5/5 Zeichenkohle 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing food. Flavorful and wholesome. They are masters at selecting a good wine pairing for your selected meal. I wish there were more places like this where I come from.

  • 5/5 Katie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Doesn’t look amazing to the tourist eye but let me tell you, the food was incredible and the staff were kind and helpful. Best food I’ve had in Paris!!

  • 5/5 A A. 2 years ago on Google
    One of our favourite restaurants in Paris - always delicious food, great wine menu, superb service - a gem

  • 5/5 Eric T. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was phenomenal. Had the steak, octopus and pork belly. Would 110% recommend this restaurant. Please come, if you are in the area. * also the Spanish wine is worth a try

  • 1/5 dimitris v. 6 months ago on Google
    My wife made a reservation by phone (this restaurant don’t make reservation online). We were there at the exact time and the restaurant was full. They told us to return in ten minutes. We go back in twenty minutes and was still full. Of course we leave and went somewhere else for dinner. I don’t like inconsistency…

  • 5/5 Sina S. 8 months ago on Google
    Good service with a quaint atmosphere. Where this place shines, however, is the food. Incredibly delicious courses executed with quality ingredients. Every dish we had was done to perfection but not in a pretentious way. There is also a great wine selection. Reasonably priced for what you get in a world class city. Highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey C. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has been on my list for so long and I've anticipated going so much, I could only be disappointed. But NO. It is just as incredible as everyone says. Maybe more. The food all incredibly well cooked and inventive. The wines are fabulous. The service is relaxed but professional. You almost feel like you are dining in someone's home. We left France after 10 days eating our way through Burgundy and Paris, and this is the meal I will remember. So friendly, so delicious, I want to go back right now!

  • 5/5 Ana Maria (. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite place in Paris ! Excellent cozy place with a top of range refined menu created and often renewed by the Chef. Warm and very friendly atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Nicolas A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great wine selection, the octopus was phenomenal and probably these mash potatoes you’ll ever have in your life! We got the steak and it was very rare but tasted good. We recommend a visit!

  • 5/5 Abby P. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything about this experience was just divine. Service, ambiance, wine menu and oh boy the food! So glad we booked so far in advance as lots of people trying to get a table on the night and not standing a chance! A very hard working team who clearly love what they do. Thank you for a wonderful experience. And for chasing after us down the street with our forgotten souvenirs *****

  • 5/5 Alexa W. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful and surprising meal here on Bastille Day for lunch. It wasn’t what I typically thing of when thinking French food but in terms of freshness, tastiness, and skillful execution, I suppose it was very French. I enjoyed watermelon gazpacho and a burrata salad + rose. Amazing and would certainly return.

  • 5/5 Oliver S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely food and wine, servers were friendly and speak very good English. You definitely need to book ahead because there aren’t many tables

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was excellent, staff were as friendly as could be. Order the meal of the day which was duck and cauliflower puree with potatoes. The duck was cooked perfectly! I could not have been more happy with the meal. Best lunch I have ever had.
