Chez Gabrielle

Quaint little restaurant located near the Arc de Triomphe. I found it based on other reviews and not a disappointment. Highly recommend a reservation (and they even texted to confirm the day of). The food was amazing — we had the steak and scallops. DELICOUS!!!

Everything was epically amazing. I started with the cauliflowe soup with shellfish. I don’t like muscles and clams and I ate EVERYTHING! It was epic soup. For my main I had the veal medallions. Cooked perfectly and it was scrumptious. Would order both again in a heartbeat. My dinner companion had the escargot which she raved about and the scallops for her main. Clearly it’s a favourite because everyone has written about it and it did not disappoint. The staff was lovely and it’s so cute. Couldn’t recommend enough.

I will come again！when I back to paris… every dish is perfect… I will die for it…

Small great restaurant, with a fantastic menu. Veal medallions with polenta was my choice, veal was cooked just right and tasted great. The crème burleè with a roasted peach and Conac sauce is out of this world. Others in our group had the beef filet and the tuna, which also were prepared perfectly.

Absolutely exquisite cuisine. If you are a foodie you will like this place. They book very quickly, so make a reservation. Truly a hidden gem in Paris. Fantastic!

I went in the Spring time with an old friend and it was really nice experience. The food, service, ambiance were all wonderful. Would recommend and plan to go back.

I really wish Unilocal gave you the option to award half-​stars. It may seem like splitting hairs to some, but there really is a difference between 4 and 5 stars, and many restaurants for me fall within this space. The meal I had at Chez Gabrielle was near perfect, but I reserve at least half a star for the overall ambience. Maybe it’s personal preference, but when we arrived I felt as if we were sitting in a library, located inside a monastery, situated underground. It was that quiet. I almost felt like the other patrons were intentionally whispering because there was an unspoken rule about not making noise. I immediately noticed the lack of background music, and I couldn’t help but feel that a subdued jazz or classical track would’ve added a much needed something. Thankfully, as more tables filled up, the atmosphere livened up significantly and I was able to relax more and fully enjoy my meal, which was superb.
Between my husband and me we had the prix fixe menu of the foie gras, scallops and peach dessert, as well as the escargot and sea bass. Every dish was so well-​composed, with very delicate and refined flavors. The foie gras was unctuous and rich but the accompanying sweet sauce was the perfect foil to the fatty liver and buttery toast that was under it. The escargot in mushroom sauce was silky smooth and sublime, the textures of the snails and mushrooms played perfectly with each other. The signature scallops had a slightly fruity taste I’d never experienced before. My sea bass was just right, flaky and moist and placed atop a bed of what I think was diced chestnut and some other kind of starch. It was all surrounded by a moat of mushroomy foam. I loved how the flavors of the sea and of the forest married so well together. And of course, the crème brûlée with poached peach put the perfect finishing touch on our meal. Service was friendly and attentive. We saw three parties being turned away after the place filled up — it’s a small space so reservations are a must.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a nice dinner spot! We found it in this cute restaurant. We arrived early and were seated by the window. At first it was very quiet and were were one of the only tables. However as the night went on more people arrived. For appetizers we got foie gras and tartare. I absolutely loved my scallop dish! The desserts were also very nicely presented and tasted good!
I recommend this restaurant for a nice, romantic evening!

Small cute Parisian restaurant.
We ordered their 3 course menu and I thought it was pretty filing.
I thought their foie gras, the house scallops and the poached peach were the highlight of the meal. People tried to speak English to us and were overall pretty friendly.

Absolutely exquisite, five-​star meal with tres chic ambiance and service magnifique! The owner was extremely pleasant and friendly. the staff spoke English well. I discovered this intimate restaurant, just steps from the Arc de Triumph, largely thanks to the great reviews on Unilocal!We made last minute reservations and were able to be seated just before closing. We ordered the delicious Prix Fixe Menu, which included their incredible house scallops saint Jacques and A poached peach dessert, which was incroyable! It also came with the foie gras, but this was unlike anything we have in California, as their is a legal ban on the product in the state, and we found it far too rich for our first evening in Paris.

Paris tem mais de 12.000 restaurantes, então o mais difícil é escolher entre tantos. Fiquei 9 dias na cidade luz e experimentei o máximo que pude sempre me baseando em avaliações lidas. O Chez Gabrielle foi o melhor de todos que visitei. Eu e minha esposa pedimos pratos diferentes, sobremesas diferentes e tudo estava delicioso! O vinho que a atendente me indicou foi sensacional. O atendimento muito bom, cordial explicando o cardápio. É o lugar pra cair a ficha de que você está em Paris! Não esqueça da reserva pois o local é pequeno.

Make your reservation and go! This small, cozy and affordable place is a hidden gem. Everything is seasoned deliciously. Staff was friendly and helpful. This is one of the most memorable restaurants we’ve ate at in Paris. It was sooo good we made another reservation and ate there again for our last dinner in Paris. Don’t miss out. Make those reservations early!

Intimate, charming place with good French food. Certainly better than most of the tourist traps along the main avenues. The scallops and sea bass tartare are winners. The cold cucumber soup with smoked salmon was also very good. Tends to fill up after 8 on Friday and Saturday night. Make a reservation or get there early. Very friendly and efficient staff and service. We spoke to the woman serving us and she gave us a history of the name of the place — think she was part of the ownership. Very nice woman. Highly recommended place.

This was among our favorite meals of our trip. Restaurant seemed busy with Americans starting about 7 or 7:30, probably because that’s when we’re used to starting dinner. This meant, though, that staff was friendly to Americans, very welcoming and accommodating. The place was cozy and we chatted with others seated near us. Amazingly, meals were priced around 22 euros. I had a tuna steak with vegetables, which was a lighter, refreshing meal. Flavors were great. My husband had the steak which came its own little pot of au gratin potatoes. They were rich, cheesy, sinful, and I think we scraped the pan (faux pas? c’mon, we used bread!) So delicious! It was just so nice to sit down and relax after sightseeing (this is really close to the Arc de Triomphe, so we just walked over), to feel welcomed and taken care of was very nice. We declined dessert, having had so many treats during the day, but were still brought a small bowl of housemade chocolate truffles. This meal was really outstanding and we would send anyone here for a great experience. Note that it’s family run and they may be away on vacation at the end of August, as is typical with the French.

We arrived in Paris yesterday and this was a winner! We read the reviews here and selected this place. It is small and reservations are suggested. I had the Bife and potatoes Au Gratin – delicious. Also tried the poached peach – excellent! A good bottle of Burgundy for $ 34 was a value. Great service. Very satisfied.

I visited this restaurant last August. I am going back to Paris this September, and cannot wait to dine here again. Without fault, everything was divine.
The potatoes Au Gratin, was the best potatoes I have ever had.

Wonderful ! The food was amazing, the owner welcoming and so spot on with food and wine recommendations! Found this on Unilocal and the choice was confirmed by our hotel. Loved it and will be back!

Very good French restaurant. It’s a small place so make reservations. The food was very good and the staff was very attentive.
1^st: foie gras on toast, the foie gras was very good. The toast has a spread that was a little sweet. I prefer savory foods.
2^nd: prawns, these we’re perfectly cooked, really moist and tender.
3^rd: roasted pork rib on polenta with reduction sauce. The pork was cooked very well, the sauce was great. The polenta was a little overpowering with the strong taste of cheese.
4^th: probably the best part of the meal! Crème brûlée with cognac poached peach. This was damn good, almost licked my plate. The tartness of the peach balanced so well with the sweetness of the crème brûlée. The peach also had the perfect texture and the cognac sauce was great.
They also had nice wines.
If it wasn’t for the sweet toast and cheesy polenta, I would’ve given 5 stars.

Cozy, friendly, and intimate. Beautiful presentation, and more importantly, delicious and satisfying. Reasonably priced too.

We found this little place while wandering in the neighborhood around our hotel (renaissance arc de triomphe) and thought the menu in the window looked appealing and the prices good. This small space is cozy and comfortable, and was full on the Wednesday night we dined here. Lovely hostess and waitress speak good English and were equally welcoming to the mix of tourists and locals filling the place. The wine list offers a good selection, we got a wonderful bottle for under 30 euro. They have terrific fixed priced dinner plans but we ordered from the menu. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. Sea bass tartare and the apple and potato appetizers were excellent, but the cauliflower soup with crawfish was the standout. For mains, the Parmesan cream sauced steak is amazing, accompanied by the most heavenly potatoes dauphinoise. Veal with polenta was excellent too. All the desserts were terrific, we each thought our order was the best! Crème brûlée with poached pear, pear with brioche pain Perdu and caramel sauce, and chocolate cake w choc sorbet. Plus a dish of truffles with the bill. All this with warm unhurried service for 160 euro for the three of us!
In addition to being a superb meal, this was a great value. Refreshing after constant «tourist trap» pricing and quality in Paris. Well worth a visit.

Plaisir
Je me suis rendu le samedi 12 novembre 2011 dans ce restaurant à l’invitation d’amis parisiens. Nous avons passé un excellent moment, tant l’accueil, les conseils, et les plats servis furent un ravissement. Excellent rapport qualité/​prix compte tenu de la situation géographique de ce lieu. Des produits frais et un mélange des genres tout à fait réussi. Quant au deseert maison, la peche rotie: divin. Vivement la prochaine fois.

Très agréable
Voila un très bon plan pour le quartier et un bon plan en général. L’accueil de la patronne est toujours au rendez-​vous tout en discrétion et sourires, né refusant jamais une petite discussion. Le lieu est agréable, simple et soigné. La cuisine du patron l’est également. Des produits frais biens cuisinés accompagnés de bons vins à petits prix… que demander de plus? Voilà des gens qui aiment ce qu’ils font et ça se ressent. N’hésitez pas !

Excellent small family run french restaurant near Arc de Triomphe tucked in an alley.
Appetizer: Foie Gras-​5 star. Tasty and generous portion, perfectly balanced with the balsamic reduction. I could eat this every day but wouldn’t live very long.
Main Course: Scallops baked in a mushroom crème sauce – 4 Star. Would’ve been 5 star across the board if they scallops were sweeter or if the chef had seared the scallops before baking it in the crème sauce. Perhaps these were frozen scallops; nevertheless, they were good and the crème sauce was defintely French.
Dessert: Poach peach with crème brûlée – 4.5 star. First poach peach ever for me and the crème brûlée was more like a panna cotta-​light and delicious.
Would defintely come back next time I’m here.

Délice dans un cadre Zen/​reposant
Un foie gras poélé excellent et généreux. Des vins de qualité à des prix raissonnables. Un couple «d’artisans», Mr en cuisine, Mme en salle, un vrai bonheur dans un cadre intime, épuré (tout beige), où la tranquilité un vendredi soir repose d’une semaine très active.

Bonne adresse
Bonne cuisine française dans ce resto caché dans une petite rue. La salle est petite, mais bien agencée, l’accueil (par la patronne) agréable. La cuisine est de qualité avec de bons produits et le rapport qualité /​prix très bon surtout pour ce quartier.

Vaut le détour
Chez Gabrielle, l’accueil est toujours gentil et discret. Le décor zen et apaisant est parfait. Les plats soignés et pleins de saveurs. Le gratin dauphinois super et les prix abordables. Un petit resto qui gagne à être connu.

Qualité et accueil à découvrir et redécouvrir
Voici un restaurant près de l’Étoile où on trouve qualité et fraîcheur des mets, poissons comme viandes et bien sûr desserts, gentillesse et disponibilité de la propriétaire qui nous accueille et des prix plus que raisonnables pour le quartier. La régularité depuis plusieurs années de ces caractéristiques font qu’il faut y aller et qu’on y retourne régulièrement, y compris pour savourer les très bonnes truffes servies avec le café. En un mot on né s’en lasse pas…

Chez Gabreille est un excellent restaurant de quartier. De l’extérieur rien n’annonce la bonne surprise: la façade est quelconque voire tristounette.
La cusine proposée est de bonne tenue, familiale avec un soupçon d’originalité.
il est possible d’y faire un repas complet (entrée, plat, dessert, café) pour environ 30 euros (vin non compris).
Seul bémol: un peu d’attente mais je suis peut-​être mal tombé…je reviendrai.

Une adresse à connaitre
J’ai découvert par hasard ce petit restaurant… en passant dans la rue, et je n’ai qu’un regret… c’est de né pas l’avoir découvert plus tôt. C’est bon, bien présenté, original, le service est sympathique, les prix plus que corrects pour le quartier, et en plus, il y a du choix (menu-​carte le midi)… alors, que demander de plus? Un conseil, il est prudent de réserver, car la salle parait bien petite (à mon avis pas plus de 25 ou 30 couverts).

Une bonne adresse
Très bon accueil, joli cadre agréable, une très bonne cuisine sans prétention. Service en cuisine un peu lent mais c’est le prix à payer pour obtenir des plats «faits sur mesure» et non pas industriels. Bön rapport qualité/​prix. Seul bémol: le manqué d’aération.

Accueil et service chaleureux et irréprochable. Cadre conventionnel.
cuisine excellente et sortant de l’ordinaire. Un peu d’attente en cuisine mais c’est le prix à payer pour du cousu main.
Seul bémol: le manqué d’aération en salle (s).

Un restau qui gagne à être connu
Accueil chaleureux, décor très agréable et intimiste. Le chef né travaille qu’avec des produits frais ce qui est assez rare pour le signaler. Les plats sont très bien présentés et sont très bons. Le rapport qualité prix est excellent. C’est une adresse à conseiller à tous ceux qui passent vers les champs: on peut très bien manger sans se faire plumer !

Tres chouette !
Allez-​y ! C’est très bien. Dans un cadre intime. Ils sont acceuillants sans être encombrants. La cuisine est asssez simple mais bine faite. Le quartier est plutot sympa.

Un vrai bon petit resto français
J’adore ce petit resto au décor tout blanc et sobre qui lui donne un côté zen pour y déguster de délicieux plats typiquement français avec une touché d’originalité. Les accompagnements sont à se damner: un gratin dauphinois maison crémeux et fondant ou des pommes dauphines maison gouteuses et croustillantes. L’accueil est d’un grande gentillesse.

Délicieux petit restaurant sans prétention
Un petit restaurant un peu perdu dans une rue peu passante mais qui vaut vraiment le détour ! Cuisine française typique de qualité, prix raisonnables, accueil charmant.
