L'Alchimiste - Paris

Very friendly atmosphere with delicious bites and plates and one of a kind shisha, in the heart of Paris ,, very convenient and remarkable by its friendly staff... Go try

We loved this little restaurant with very few seats in it and great staff. The dishes we had were delicious and the portions were pretty big. We had a great dinner overall, reservation are recommended, the place was packed and there are not many tables.

We visited L'Alchimiste two days ago and were incredibly impressed with the flavor of the dishes, friendliness of the staff, and the portion sizes of their plates. They have a set price for a two or three course meal, which is ten Euros less if you visit for lunch time. Our waitree, Oksana, translated the entire menu for us in English. She was very patient, and also let us try different wines before we made a final order. We both really enjoyed our meal. I definitely recommend the smoked salmon appetizer, the tuna steak, and slow cooked beef. The creme brulee with raspberry was also amazing. A great find in Paris!

A group of us went there and it was delightful evening, the menu choice is broad with a selection of traditional style dishes, simply presented but copious. As far from nouvelle cuisine as you can imagine, but enjoyable. Service was friendly and efficient.

We were staying at a hotel nearby and were meeting up with some family. My cousin saw the comments and thought, let's give it a try. Definitely not disappointed, even worth a detour. Very tasty, real homemade French cooking.
