Menu online not the same as in person; really tailored restaurant selection via online menu (grilled octopus). Initially seated as a party of 3 although we were 5 .. til his had me panicked that I booked the reservation incorrectly however the hostess made a mistake. I had specified it was my birthday - this was not acknowledged by anyone.
Just got a couple snacks and a cocktail and they were great but the server could not have cared less about me as a table. I was a 1 top but I dine solo a lot and have never had service like that. Right away asking if I was ready. Said I needed a minute. Then ordered a drink. She went and came back and asked if I was ready for food (still didn't have the drink) and I hastily ordered. Then got my food. Still no drink. If they had come back to the table, I would have asked about it. 1/2 way through meal someone else drops off drink. Bill offered before I could look at desserts. Was recommended by a friend and was disappointed.
Food was just ok for the price. Oysters were great. Beef tartare was ok , lacked some seasoning. The beef short rib was good but was missing something. Bread was burnt and was massive. Felt like eating tree bark. Overall it was ok. Nothing was terrible but not worth returning
Great tasty food and friendly service. We visited on a Friday evening and the place had a great vibed, would definitely recommend.
Nice ambience but acoustics are terrible (you cannot hear what person accross the table is saying). Service is extremely slow, food is good. Blah experience - Would recommend other places in the Ossington Strip over Paris Paris
I'm not one to leave reviews (this is my first!) but we had a disappointing experience today. I came with my siblings and husband for lunch and we walked out after 30 minutes. After being seated by the very kind hostess, we sat for about 15 minutes without being offered water or any instructions re ordering food or drinks. I kindly returned to the waitress stand to ask if we needed to order somewhere or if a waitress would come to us (I genuinely wasn't sure!) but she assured me a waitress would come and she herself brought me water. 10 minutes after that (25 mins since we first sat down) a waitress came to refill our water and I asked if she could take our order— she said she would go get our designated waitress and left. 10 minutes after that (35 mins after being seated) we still had received nothing more than water + had not met our waitress. Ultimately, we had to leave due to time constraints, and I told this to the hostesses. They apologized saying “I'm so sorry!” but did not offer to rectify the situation and simply said “have a nice day!” when we left. This seemed like a beautiful restaurant, the food looked great, and we would have loved to dine here. Unfortunately it seemed very busy, too busy to notice a table of 4 that had gone unserved for over 30 mins, even after multiple reminders. Beware if it's busy, this may be the issue you run in to!
Great space, food is good and wine. the servers were great. The door hosts had terrible service: no greeting, seemed bothered and when asked to seats for a reservation wanted to put us in the empty part of the restaurant, no hospitality skills. Bathrooms were dirty.
We had high hopes for Paris Paris, but unfortunately the experience fell short from start to finish. When we sat down, we were immediately asked if we needed more time with the menu — before we'd even had a chance to open it. Turns out, the menu was missing pages altogether. We had to ask nearby tables what they had ordered just to make sense of it, and even then, the order of pages varied between menus, which added to the confusion. Service felt disorganized and impersonal. There didn't seem to be a dedicated server for our table, and multiple people would come and go without clearing empty dishes or following up on anything. At one point, our burrata arrived — with literally no bread or accompaniments. It was served on its own, which felt like a major oversight. The tuna ceviche also tasted off — not fresh at all. The space and concept are great, but there's a clear lack of attention to both food and service. With a bit more polish and consistency, it could be a great spot, but right now it feels more style than substance.
I never write bad reviews but eeek. We ordered the steak frit to share.... $88 it came on a tiny plate legit half a steak sliced and a handful of fries. I thought perhaps they gave us the portion for 1. So I asked they said no this was the correct order. Im a light eater in general but this was hilarious. Do not order you will starve. The steak was ok, really nothing special.
Really nice boho-chic space with lots of light. Can get warm when sun is out so wear layers! Otherwise, really nice experience in super cool neighborhood and wonderful food. Staff was attentive & friendly. Great venue for larger gatherings. I'll go back.

I would go back the beef tartare was amazing, croquette and arugula salad. So fresh and delicious.
Brought some family here for Sunday brunch to celebrate a birthday - fantastic food, beautiful atmosphere, and lovely staff. It was my first time trying french-style brunch and it exceeded my expectations. Definitely coming back to try out the dinner menu 💛
We had Hotel Georgia and it was one of the best cocktails we ever had. Huge shout out to Sean he was an amazing bartender!!

The food is phenomenal. Highly recommend lobster pasta and short ribs though main courses are on the slow side. Service can use some improvements. Given the price we are paying, I assume the waiter would pack the takeout for us but No. even seeing we were struggling with the box, she didn't offer any help.
great ambience, moody lighting great service. coat check was included which was nice because the chairs have no backs, only stools. the menu was very limited and overpriced - more snacks to share than an actual dinner menu. cocktail menu was very small, and the bar said they could make any classic cocktail, but we tried to order 5 different types of cocktails and they said they couldn't do it. ended up just getting white wine when we came for the cocktails, which was disappointing.
