Fodor's Review:
This stylish modern bistro decorated in jewel tones serves food to match its stunning location under the arcades of the Palais-Royal, facing its magnificent gardens. Sole, scallops, and risotto -- including dramatic black squid-ink and lobster or an all-green vegetarian version -- are beautifully prepared, but juicy beef fillet with pommes Pont Neuf (thick-cut frites) is also a favorite of expense-account lunchers. Finish with an airy mille-feuille that changes with the seasons -- berries in summer, chestnuts in winter -- or a decadent baba doused with rum from Guadeloupe. Book in advance, especially in summer, when the terrace tables are hotly sought after.

There are better restaurants
Posted by yummy_cook from Vancouver, Canada on 6/13/07
Despite the lovely patio table we were seated at, it doesn't make up for the mediocre food, service, and value.
My cucumber salad was watery and bland, accompanied by prawns that were neither large nor fresh--as claimed on the menu. Following this, my sole was bland and overcooked. My husband's lamb shank was better; but still not great.
The service was poor as the waitress seemed overwhelmed. The table next to us threatened to leave because their food took so long to arrive.
We had just had a fantastic experience for two nights in a row from the Laduree on the Champs Elysees (yes, they serve dinner and it is fantastic! They also have a prix fixe menu for 35 euros) so it probably made our experience at the Palais Royal all the more unsatisfactory.
I would not recommend this restaurant.
