I was amazed by how thoughtful the chef and his team were.
We told them our parents are visiting from Shanghai so they provide us chopsticks. They also made a rice dish specifically for us. They made us feel really special. The dishes were very well presented and tasty but they were amazing for me. Overall it was a very good experience

Astrance, an intimate gastronomic gem nestled in the heart of Paris, continues to enchant its patrons with an unparalleled culinary experience. Pascal Barbot, the prodigious chef, and his team orchestrate an exquisite ballet of flavors, textures, and colors that pays homage to French culinary traditions while introducing innovative elements that border on the avant-garde. From the moment you step through the quaint blue door, you're transported into a world of refined simplicity and warm elegance. The intimate setting, with a limited number of seats, enhances the exclusivity of the experience, allowing for attentive service that feels both personal and discreet. The real magic, however, unfolds with the arrival of the food. Astrance is renowned for its surprise menu, a parade of dishes crafted based on the chef's inspiration and the freshest seasonal ingredients. Each plate is a piece of edible art, beautifully presented, and bursting with complex and harmonious flavors. Barbot's Asian influences lend a certain dynamism to the dishes, with unexpected combinations that somehow feel innately familiar. Standouts include Barbot's signature dish, the 'foie gras soup,' an ethereal concoction that's both rich and light, marrying contrasting flavors with an effortless grace. The simplicity of ingredients, such as the mackerel served with a nuanced citrus-infused emulsion, showcases the chef's ability to elevate humble components to gastronomic greatness. The wine pairing, curated by the knowledgeable sommelier, complements the food perfectly. Each selection mirrors the sophistication and complexity of the dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience. While the prices are on the higher end, the exceptional culinary journey offered by Astrance is worth every penny. This is more than just a meal; it's an immersive sensory experience that leaves a lasting impression. In conclusion, Astrance maintains its position as a must-visit destination for every serious gastronome. Its blend of classic and contemporary, tradition and innovation, forms a symphony that sings a beautiful culinary song, one that resonates long after the last bite has been savored. A visit to Astrance is an unforgettable voyage through the galaxy of French gastronomy, guided by the skilled hands of Chef Pascal Barbot.
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely wonderful from start to finish, the beautiful
Absolutely wonderful from start to finish, the beautiful delicious food, the lovely space, the personable staff. I liked that the tables around us got different courses on the tasting menu so we weren't spoiled of what was to come. And I wasn't even jealous of their delicious food because ours was so good. I look forward to coming back!
Be the first to ReplyThe overall experience was just so enjoyable and
The overall experience was just so enjoyable and lighthearted. Maybe because we came here for lunch. Maybe because L'Astrance just is. Maybe because it's in Paris. I don't know the exact reasons but I've never felt so at home while eating a nice meal. We got there right when they opened for lunch, the decor was tasteful and cozy. Everything was excellent, with every bite I took, in my head I yelped: the chef really knows how to cook a good meal! All the ingredients were brought to their best and completed each other. The overall palate was neither overwhelming nor boring. It's just right. The surprise wine pairing was fun and perfect as well. (At one point I forgot it was supposed to be "surprise" and asked what the wine was as they were pouring and they wittily replied "I don't know". I was too tipsy to process his humor so I just looked at my husband and made the face "how would he not know?" It wasn't until later that I realized what happened, Lolllll) What I liked the most was the staff, they were professional and attentive but they also liked to have fun with their job. Not only did they joke with us here and there with their Parisian humor, they also entertained me in my curiosity with the fresh (but decorations) fruits on the table. Two of them actually came over to cut open the teeny tiny caviar lime at the table to show me what's inside and let me try it after I stared at and played with it throughout the meal lol... We were the last two tables to leave (slower than Parisians at eating?! What?!) and the chef happened to come out to meet everyone and we chatted with him for a while -- there were some interesting Asian influences in his dishes that I recognized from childhood and he verified they were because of his wife. It was overall such as fun meal, I'll come back soon!
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful modern space that I really loved.
Service is on top of things but isn't super personable. Wish they were a bit more friendly.Great wine and the pairings were really spot on.The food was amazing, a nice blend of high end french and asian. Price point was good for what we got. I'd come back for sure.
Be the first to ReplySooo bad.
Almost comically so. We were excited to go to Astrance, but now regret it. We were relegated to the upstairs. Service was poor. No one asked my fiancé if she wanted another glass of wine after the first one. The food was overall pretty bad. This surprised us because my parents had been just a few months prior. It is a carte blanche menu, which can be fun. But not when the food that comes out is bad. One dish, the crab was good, but not special. Throughout the meal we kept wondering if it was going to get better or if we should just end the misery. There was one dish where we were told it has 4 flavors and they will come back after we've had to try and guess. One of those flavors must have been despair. T was truly awful. Mashed potatoes with ice cream. They didn't seam surprised when we said it was disgusting. That was the last straw and asked for the check. No one seemed concerned or to care. In fact I told our server as well as the matire'd that our meal was bad and service was poor. They didn't really apologize. Just said sorry you didn't like it. It's one thing not to like a dish or two. But all of it failed. Off chance it was because it was just back from the holiday, but that's no excuse. Especially for a 3 Star with its reputation. To cap off the night, the credit card machine wasn't working. And we were reminded how bad it when we were charged the next day.
Be the first to ReplyWonderful restaurant, that is all that needs to be said.
A perfect experience with both the food and the wine, and they were paired to perfection.
Be the first to ReplyWe made a lunch reservation for 1230 at L'Astrance and were
We made a lunch reservation for 1230 at L'Astrance and were seated immediately when we arrived. The restaurant was fairly intimate with seating for about 30 with a separate 2nd floor dining area that seemed more VIP. Ambiance was more casual for lunch. Only wore a collared shirt and slacks. Entire meal took about 2.5 hours and each dish was consistently paced about 15-20 minutes. We went with the 5 course seasonal menu that ended up being closer to 7 courses when you include the desserts. Friend added on the wine pairing as well. Dishes here were mostly Asian fusion with a few traditional French entrees. Loved all the main courses. Pear biscuit - fruit jelly sandwiched between delightfully crispy wafersSalad tart - nice starter to get the appetite goingMushroom with foie tart - Layers of mushroom and foie paste. interesting presentation like a pastry. Mushroom has a tougher texture. Mushroom tasted fairly light so mixing in the hazelnut oil and lemon jam adds a lot of flavor. The hazelnut oil had a potential hazelnut flavor. Lemon jam is very lemony and tart. Spring beans stuffed with lemon curd - certainly a noveltyApple ginger mint coriander - palette cleanser. Ginger mint coriander go well together. A bit of a spicy kick from the ginger and coriander with a refreshing mint aftertaste. Shrimp, cabbage, seafood paste, peanut sauce - peanut sauce has lots of spices. Shrimp was softtt and gave very easily when you bite into it. Wine pairing brought out the spice flavor. Thai fusion with the seafood paste and peanut sauce.John dory Fish Japanese rice butter soy sauce - Sauce with rice alone was already a fantastic dish. perfect bite is the butter sauce, with rice and fish. Fish was just adding texture and holds more sauce. Japanese fushion. Rice had a mushy texture to it. chicken salad marinated in sweet chili oil - chili oil had lots of complexity. The mix of sweet sour and chili was confusing to the palette. Lots of flavors. Chicken is not stringy. Foie gras duck leg confit - Pees, beets, duck, cherries, Sweet chili pepper. Red wine is no nonsense. Cuts through everything. Pairs really well with the duck. Duck is perfectly cooked. Consistent texture. Knife is incredibly sharp. Cuts right through the meat. Peppers aren't spicy at all. Popping texture. Duck tartine with spring greens is excellent. Nice soft texture. Light dressing on the mixed greens. Traditional French dish. Formage Blanc, potato, thyme, vanilla bean - potato is fluffy. Vanilla bean ice cream. Mix of sweet and savory. I think the potato and vanilla bean tastes better separate than together. Sweet chili pepper, ginger, lemon - This palette cleanser is a troll. It's refreshing cause it's so cold, yet mentally confusing with the spiciness. Raspberry rhubarb tart, jasmine flower - the foam by itself was a bit bitter. Raspberry rhubarb is surprisingly sweet. Together it's a bit more manageable. Seasonal fruits Egg nog - smooth and delicious. Not sweet at all. Novel presentation in the egg. Madeline Chestnut was a bit dense with the edges crisped. Fruits are fruits. All sweet and fresh. I'd recommend eating egg nog, Madeline, fruits in that order.The only off-putting thing was that they asked for tip at the very end. European restaurants usually have it all inclusive even for basic restaurants, so I was surprised the server asked.
Be the first to ReplyThe fiance and I had a bucket list goal to eat at 3-Star
The fiance and I had a bucket list goal to eat at 3-Star Michelin restaurant when we were visiting Paris. We picked L'Astrance for it's online reservation option and overall price. Their lunch menu is €95 and the standard Astrance menu started at €250, not including wines. We figured dining at a 3-star establishment did mean higher expenses, but I wasn't quite ready to blow €450-500 on a single meal. One day, but not quite at that price point yet. The servers were phenomenal. They were efficient, so courteous, and attentive to detail. The pacing was good. Take as long as you want to finish your dish, then a server very quickly will clear the table. Ten minutes later and the next item would come out. The overall atmosphere was very nice, but nothing out-of-the ordinary. Nice table cloths and elaborate orchid arrangements here and there. They mainly want you to focus on the food, which isn't a crime. The cutlery was very nice though, some high quality stuff. Our meal consisted of 11-12 courses. They start you off with bread and butter. Next a series of very delicately constructed small bites. One was this herb infused grapefruit made on the most dainty of wafer cookies. There were chef selected scallops, layered mushroom cakes, duck with raspberry powder, small peppers, delicious fish, black truffle, fruit foam, potato ice cream, artistic plating, deconstructed this and dehydrated that. All of the abstract forms of food you would wish for in a fine dining establishment. Some things tasted incredible, other things just tasted weird to us. It was truly a surprise with every course. I wouldn't say this was the absolute best meal of my life, but it was a very good experience. We get to check "3-Star Michelin" off our bucket list. Good value overall for what it is.
Be the first to ReplyThe flavor was good, and the fish and lamb main courses
The flavor was good, and the fish and lamb main courses really wowed me. The dessert was interesting as well. I only had a glass of red as I had too much champagne in the afternoon. The wine from a central region of France they offered was a pleasant surprise. Overall, the setting was less formal than most of the other Michelin starred restaurants in Paris. I personally appreciate the more relaxed environment that Astrance created. The only thing I didn't like was the bread, the sourdough they offered was cold and boring, just like any bread you can find in more affordable restaurants. There's only one option of the bread. Overall a good experience, but maybe not a Michelin three star.
Be the first to ReplyI was very excited to procure a lunch reservation to this
I was very excited to procure a lunch reservation to this renown three star Michelin restaurant. Astrance is known as a "foodie's" Michelin restaurant, with great substance to its frills. This award winning dining temple was purported to be about cooking, and not pretension or show.While everything we ate was excellent and tasted quite good, there were few "wows" until dessert. Our lunch was a veritable bargain at 95 Euros per person for a three star Michelin restaurant, but at this same price point, we have enjoyed better food in Paris at restaurants with no stars. La Condesa and Restaurant Louis, both in the 9th Arrondissement, come to mind. The two floored, elegant space, is understated, but in a very refined manner, befitting its 16th Arrondissement location. The 16th and 17th Arrondissements are reminiscent of New York's Upper East Side, old money, with no need to prance. Surprisingly, the majority of the patrons were young tourists in shirtsleeves and sneakers, with only one table of well suited businessmen conversing in French, my expected clientele. No offense kids, I found the shirtsleeves and sneakers tacky and almost disrespectful, but I'm "old school" that way. Service at Astrance was young, like its majority clientele, dressed in dark suits, conversing in multiple languages. Their manner was relaxed three star formal, if that contradiction makes sense. They joked with us, but maintained reverent when describing the food. Portions were ample, and of the highest quality, but that expected "wow factor," was missing. The gravest discord started the meal, a grapefruit, black truffle, amuse bouche, that simply did not taste good. Duck, salmon, etc. we're all good, but I wanted to be blown away. That never happened until our last dessert dish, a whimsical meringue with colorful patterns that we looked at with utter amazement. "How did they do that?"Great restaurants have left me in wonderment after every dish. Arpege struck me with culinary lightning years ago, as did the Jamin of old. That's what multiple starred restaurants do. You dine on culinary magic that leaves a life long impression. I will never forget El Bulli, El Celler de Can Roca, Jean-Francois Piege, or Arzak. They served food with such artistry, I felt honored dining in these restaurants. L'Astrance did not astound me, and I was disappointed. Paris is in the midst of a dining revival. Parisian chefs, with multi cultural identities, are cooking with passion, putting out dishes from their heart and not catering to any trends or bistronomic movements. Awards should not come easy. Astrance was coasting. They better look over their shoulder, because that isn't good enough anymore.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing experience and great value! We came here for lunch
Amazing experience and great value! We came here for lunch and the set menu price was 70€ which is a great value for Michelin Three Star restaurant in Paris. There were about twelve different dishes served including amuse-bouches and every dish was delicate, flavors well balance and delicious! The service was top notch, all of the staff was very friendly and we all really enjoyed our experience.
Be the first to ReplyA dream come true to eat a 3 star Michelin in Paris :')
A dream come true to eat a 3 star Michelin in Paris :') L'astrance means "herb of the family", so everything was herb infused and had Asian influences. When we arrived, they offered to take our coats and bags and led us upstairs. The upstairs area only had 2 tables so it was very intimate. We ordered the lunch prix fixe meal for 70 euros, a great deal for a Michelin. Their bread was crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside, and the butter was the best butter I've ever had in my life. French butter is really better! Our second course was two different amuse bouche. The flowery amuse bouche was my favorite! It was sweet and salty and my taste buds were dancing with joy! The second one had a pear filling and the cracker was so delicate!Our first entree was a Thai infused shrimp and it was the juicest, most plump shrimp I've ever had. This shrimp dish was probably as good a shrimp dish could taste. On the bottom of the shrimp was this peanut sauce with a few peanuts, and it complimented the shrimp so well! I devoured this dish. On the side was something similar to an egg roll that was stuffed with mint. Since this was Asian inspired, this was the first of many dishes that had mint. Next item was the fish. It was delicious! The sauce on the side was a bit strange for me, but I didn't dislike it. Also, this dish came with a mint lettuce stack which I couldn't finish because too much mint is overwhelming for me. The duck dish was next with two pieces of duck and a sauce. On a side plate, it included a duck liver toast, spring mix, and a piece of seared duck. Since my friends and I don't really like liver, the toast was a bit overwhelming for us. But the main dish was very good (favorite was the seared duck though) and I absolutely loved the cranberry paste on the side! I still remember how it taste to this day. Dessert was next! We got a sorbet dessert and it was so unique. It had mint and peppers in it! Cool and spicy at the same time, but definitely not my favorite. What saved that dessert was the most beautiful tarte I've ever seen. The top meringue was super light and the crust was super thick - love the contrast. Inside the tart was a fruit filling and it absolutely hit the spot! I licked the plate clean for this one.The last course was a great way to end the meal. They brought out fresh fruit, eggnog, and some madeleines. The eggnog was sweet, milky, and put other eggnogs to shame! I need to learn how they make this! The madeleines and fruits were all delicious too!Throughout the meal, the waiters were super funny and engaging. They totally shamed us when we didn't finish our food and would try to block our pictures whenever we were taking them. We also got to meet Chef Pascal Barbot (who worked under Alain Passaird) and he was so nice! I love how they spread out the courses so it's a 3 hour meal, so you can enjoy your food and have that Michelin star experience. Since I'm not a fan of mint and a lot of entrees had mint, I think that's what docked one star for me. However, I wouldn't trade this experience for the world.
