Le Dôme

Bön accueil. On nous met à l’aise dès l’entrée.
Cadre magnifique. La déco est fascinante (comme à la Coupole).
La carte est très alléchante.
Les fruits de mer et poissons sont frais. Les produits sont bien mis e n valeur.
La cuisine est raffinée et savoureuse.
Les desserts sont excellents.
On a passé une très bonne soirée. A refaire !

Fantastic bouillabaisse, different from others that we’ve had in Paris, but equally delicious. The service was kind and attentive, the wine was good, and we loved the little free bowl of snails waiting for you on the table. The setting is quite belle époque — very sumptuous and comfortable. We hadn’t realized it was considered a tourist trap, and I certainly wouldn’t agree — instead, it’s a Grande Dame of Paris dining — well worth the trip.

This is one of the best seafood restaurant in Paris. This place was recommended to me by a famous food critic and it’s truly remarkable. I highly recommend their fish soup and their bouillabaisse although pretty much all other fish items on the menu are excellent. I also really like the upscale brasserie atmosphere and service is excellent too.

Excellent restaurant de poissons.
J ai essayé la bouillaissaisse qui etait excellente et surtout tres copieuse.
Les desserts sont tres raffinés.
Serveurs tres gentils et efficaces.
Attention au budget car l’addition est assez élevée

If you go in well dressed, early for dinner, make an effort to speak French, you will be treated well. Service was world class and the shellfish tower was one of the best ever. We had the fish soup and sardines, we couldn’t finish all of the tower, skipped dessert and coffee.
Overall, when in France, wear some nice pants and a smile and the whole city smiles with you.

Really really expensive for this type of food. But then again maybe this is a place where you’re paying for atmosphere. The lobster was too small, but maybe French people eat less than Americans. The sea bass was amazing and so was the fish soup. The raspberry tiramisu was more a pudding than cake so I didn’t like it much. The service was adequate but it was hard even getting more water so that was frustrating. Overall, it was a nice experience but I would not go back.

I agree with Jiwoo P… that the service at Le Dome was terrible. The waiter was rude and mocking to us… «you speak french?» after we attempted to speak in french. The food was good but the experience in the restaurant ruined the evening for us. We would not go back and we actually told our concierge at our hotel about our evening.

Really good seafood but the waiter was absolutely the worst I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve been to a lot of places in Paris. I have to say that the waiter was very rude to me and my guest, as well as the American couple next to us.

I visited this Parisian staple, a bit nervous from the mixed reviews, but thought I had to try it once.
I was pleasantly surprised! Of course I got the giant seafood platter, and it was AMAZE. Now, let me say, you have to REALLY love seafood to enjoy this tower. I meant truly love the nitty gritty beings of the sea. This isn’t quite what most Americans are used to back home. This platter has deliciously fresh seafood with shrimp heads waiting for their brains to be sucked out, and tasty briny snails waiting for their special gooey strings to be pinched off.
I don’t think this platter is for everyone– but sooo amazing those who don’t have limitation on their seafood. I also had the blue lobster salad which was a whopping 58 Euros– but ohhh so good. The lobster was perfectly poached and removed, and it was literally perfection.
I’d go again!
P. S. every time I see a Parisian restaurant being rated poorly for service, I skip the review. It’s f***** Paris guys! On that note, I actually had excellent service here :)

This is certainly the best seafood restaurant in Paris, by far. I have been there several times, for both casual family diners and more important events. Service is absolutely perfect, waiters welcome you warmly in the restaurant and take care of you as if you were the most important customer.
Of course, the food is exquisite. I have wonderful memories of their Cabillaud and Lotte. As for desserts, I will strongly recommend to try the Millefeuille, which is outstandingly delicious!
Finally, the atmosphere inside is typical of historical Paris, it is very comfortable to eat there.

The most amazing piece of fish I ever had in my life (I still remember it almost two years later!) great atmosphere

Fantastic!

A friend took us to this place last December when we were in the Marais. It is in the heart of the Marais, not far from Rue des Rosiers, maybe 5 minute walk. So it is near a lot of things to see and do. I never would have guessed what the interior would be like, but the name of the restaurant says it all… it is a

I am french I have been many many times over 25 years, it is a Parisian institution certainly the reason why they charge so much.
The food is good not always consistant the fish serving is edging on the small side.
Now I think you can get better or as good food in Paris for twice less or a greater experience for the price. But it is le Dome and Paris both go together.

Need to check that box. Sit on the sidewalk in Montparnasse and enjoy the city walking by while enjoying a beverage. Close to our hotel, this was a nice place to take a break from a long day of being a tourist.

We were greeted with smiles on arrival. The waiter was one of the most friendly I have ever had in Paris. Beautifully decorated inside. We had Sole and Turbot. Both were cooked to perfection. Everything I expected from Michelin star restaurant.

Disappointed there was no soja milk for the coffer; a black filtered coffee had to suffice.
The external seating was cramped and when my husband shifted his chair to get around the tight table; the waiter — who we had been trying to get his attention to order, fiddled about with the menus

I returned to Le Dome on my recent trip to Paris and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. It was horrible! Service was pushy and rude. We ordered several things that they were out of and the oysters were incredibly fishy. The gambas a la plancha to start were way over cooked. The dover sole was ok, but frankly, I’ve had better back in the states. The mille fuielle wasn’t as good as I remembered either. Honestly, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and I am sorry I wasted a meal in Paris here.

Très beau cadre. Produits frais et cuisine maîtrisée. Prix des plats et des vins exagérés. Service désagréable, pas un sourire, à la limite de l’impolitesse (au moment de régler la note, le serveur s’est permis une réflexion car nous n’étions pas assez rapide).

I know, I know. It’s overpriced and a tourist trap, but there’s got to be a reason that Le Dome has outlived its critics right?
Maybe it’s the delicious fresh seafood, or even the charming and cheeky waiters who keep things moving at a brisk pace or the grand décor of dark woods and black-​and-​white photos that line the walls.
My meal at Le Dome was one of my most memorable Paris experiences. Stepping into Le Dome is like stepping back in time. Be forewarned… it is a little overpriced. A dinner for four was around 350 Euros (which included a bottle of champagne). Also, there is no English menu, so come armed with a couple french words for fish you’d like to eat.
One nice touch, was the little ramekin of gratis sea snails that was brought to the table. Alongside the snails, was a wine cork pricked with needles. The needles are used to pull out the snails from their shells. Needless to day, I was the only one daring enough to pull the little boogers out and eat them.
For apps, we had a simply dressed salad and langosteens which were sweet and fresh. I had another appetizer of stuffed squid for my entrée and my dining companions had more langosteens, and fillets of John Dory fish.
Forget the naysayers, come to Le Dome and decide for yourself if it’s an over-​hyped tourist trap, but for me, it was worth it.

«Best Wi-​Fi of all in Paris!» This made me chuckle when I read this on a review. but not gonna lie. it was pretty good! haha But the main attraction. of course the extra large platter of seafood!
Came here and ordered this HUGE platter of seafood. Most of it was raw, and it was delicious. One of my fav parts of the platter was the Crab head. they leave all that creamy delicious roe in there. put that on some bread and you are in heaven!
It was definitely a pretty penny to get this platter, but it’s definitely worth it as it is large, in charge, and you just can’t get this type of assortment back in the states (or in Germany, where I live now!)
After completely demolishing this platter, I felt like the scene of Alice in Wonderland. Specifically where the Walrus and the Carpenter build a shack to trick all the oysters to come over for dinner, only to be surprised that they are what’s being served for dinner! «Oh little OYSTERS!» YUM!

I’m not too sure how to score Le Dome, but here goes.
This was my first trip to France, and I honestly speak none of the language. My best friend recommended a hotel very near by and after watching Anthony Bordaines No Reservations I was excited to try Le Dome. I’m a huge seafood lover and especially enjoy trying high end restaurants.
I had also read all of the English reviews in Unilocal and translated the only Le dome menu I could find online. I felt prepared despite not speaking any French.
We were seated and the waiter walked over. I used my only French phrase to ask if he spoke English. He said, «no, welcome to Paris» and walked away. My wife, parents, and I considered leaving since we definitely needed help with the menu.
Turns out that the waiter spoke pretty good English, but had a sarcastic sense of humor (at least I think). He made several uncomfortable jokes throughout the evening that I believe are cultural differences and him speaking in a second language. My father is a recovering alcoholic. When he ordered a Coke the waiter seemed to make fun of him for not getting wine with his seafood dinner. It was really awkward, but again, he was speaking our Language and of course didn’t know.
Even still, I found the service to be average at best. My father and I split the seafood platter for two. We both made a big pile of shells before our plates were cleared. We were never offered asked about additional drinks (water or wine).
Both my father and I LOVED the oysters. Possibly the best I’ve ever had. The rest of the 115 Euro platter left a lot to desire. The escargot was new to me so I can’t say it was good or bad, but the clams shrimp, and mussels were just OK and the crab left a lot to be desired.
That said, my dad loved it all and I am a little picky. My wife and mom had fish and shrimp. Neither was impressed. I tasted both and can report that they were average.
At the prices Le Dome charges I expect more. I realize that im paying extra for the history, but even still, the meal did not leave me wanting more.
I’m not upset I tried Le Dome, but I won’t be back even if I travel to Paris again.

Where do I start?
Should I start with the incredibly wonderful seafood that completely fills the entire menu?
The plateau of shellfish is a meal unto itself. Fit for a king. I highly recommend you starting with this. You will not want to share. But that’s OK. You’re on holiday! You are in France! And since you’re in France. You may as well imbibe in some of the local seafood. Like the Rouget or the Turbot (Mmmm! Buttery!) or the WILD Lupe De Mare. Not that farmed Bronzino that we get over here in The States!
Should I start with the ambiance? Which invites you to indulge yourself for the next few hours. And as theses hours trickle by ever-​so-​quickly than «POOF», before you know it, your dining experience is done and you were wishing for more of the same.
Should I start with impeccable service? Seriously! The wait staff, actually the staff in general, from the hosts to upper management are true professionals. That’s what I love about eating at a fine dining institution. The smoothness of the service.
When you have waiters who have been working at an establishment for the past quarter century (or more) it shows in the service. It’s easy. I like easy. Easy is like a good glass of wine. It goes with everything.
Or maybe I should start with the fish market located to the left of the façade (see ambiance). This market is the first impression you get before entering the restaurant. It just sets the tone for the rest of the evening. You know you are going to have the freshest experience at a seafood restaurant ever! It’s like going to Disneyland. Except it’s a Disneyland for adults.
Actually, don’t take my word for it. Experience it for yourself. You will not be sorry in the least.

Très très bien
Superbe endroit. Nous sommes jamais déçus quand nous y dinons. L’accueil, le service, la carte, les vins, la cuisine: tout est parfait.

Excellents fruits de mer

Vive la France
Si vous voulez savoir pourquoi la France a cette réputation de savoir vivre, allez au Dôme vous en aurez un aperçu; le cadre, le service, la cuisine tout y est, la carte des vins, les huîtres, les poissons… Bref, superbe endroit, il y a foule mieux vaut réserver, et c’est un peu cher, on a rien sans rien.

C’est une très belle brasserie Parisienne, un lieu mythique où le temps s’est arrêté.
Un décor art déco fabuleux, des serveurs comme on en fait plus: un peu hautain mais aussi un peu familier, du pur jus parisien.
Une très belle carte de fruits de mer.
La salade de homard bleu de bretagne, un délice. Un tronçon de turbo roti divin.
En revanche, fromages quelconques et desserts tout autant
Alors pourquoi seulement 3 étoiles???
Gros problème d’assaisonnement: l’addition beaucoup trop salée!
Franchement, les huitres, le homard, le poisson, ça se pêche sur la lune???

Quelques mois d’ancienneté sur Unilocal,et jusqu’à présent aucune note maximale, en dépit de 6 – 7 tables par semaine…
Voilà, c’est décidé, après une 2è évaluation histoire d’être sûr, Le Dôme remporte la palme. Murs de légende, plats succulents, vins adéquats et service tel qu’on le fantasmerait façon parisienne.
Raffiné, intemporel, juste et délicieux; la désormais table de mes prochaines grandes occasions.

Restaurant brasserie de référence !!!
Cuisine raffinée, service de qualité, lieu superbe, attention un peu trop de touriste à certaines heures

Cet endroit est un endroit à part.
Le serveur qui s’est occupé de nous, nous a conseillé un vin extra, des huîtres (je né me rappelle plus leurs noms) qui effectivement sortent de l’ordinaire.
Les plats sont simples mais bien exécutés, même si le cuisinier a tendance à avoir la main un peu lourde sur le sel
Nous avons pris une barbue et les langoustines aux pâtes fraîches, les langoustines je né sais pas mais en tout cas la barbue était un régal, tout en délicatesse très bien agrémentée (les câpres sont petits et né dénaturent pas le poisson).
Le millefeuille à la vanille et au rhum est impressionnant, de par le feuilletage qui a bien gonflé, et de par sa crème pâtissière allégée (je né suis pas du tout gâteau à la crème) Seul bémol, les toilettes (il n’y avait pas de papier, ce qui craint pour un restaurant de ce standing)
Et les prix
C’est apparemment un institution à Paris, et effectivement ça vaut le coup. Je n’ai pas vu la note, mais les prix sur la carte sont très élevés (mais les produits sont de qualité, le service est irréprochable et expérimenté).
La personne avec moi m’a dit, ce n’est pas tous les jours que tu iras au Dôme. Effectivement, et cette soirée fut mémorable et restera gravée!

Bonne bouillabaisse, le service moyen, qualité de service a parfaire !

Une institution
Lieu magique, les poissons sont de grande qualité, la cuisson précise. La carte des vins est exceptionnelle. Les desserts simplement superbes comme le reste. Des serveurs aimables, à l’écoute. Bön c’est cher mais l’on en a pour son argent.

Il n’y a malheureusement pas de catégorie «brasserie de légende et de renom», mais c’est dans celle-​ci qu’entre le Dôme. Grand lieu, à l’histoire et aux traditions toujours d’actualité, on y dine, on y déjeune, ou on y prend le thé dans une ambiance de sophistication et de détente. Pas la peine de dire qu’on est divinement bien servis et qu’on savoure tous les mets: le Dôme né faillit pas à sa réputation et nous dépose à une autre époque, toute en élégance et politesse.

Les queues d’écrevisse étaient bien (au nombre de 3… idéal pour surveiller sa ligne…), la lotte un peu trop cuite (et quels étaient les légumes bizarres qui l’accompagnaient?). Dessert sans intérêt. Service courtois. Addition salée.

La vraie brasserie
Les poissons sont cuisinés avec précision, essayez la bouillabaisse, personnelement je n’arrive jamais à terminer ! Le service est très professionnel et ce lieu reflete vraiment la vrai brasserie Parisienne. C’est certes un peu cher mais la qualité se paie !

Parfait si ce n’est une addition légèrement salée
Dès qu’on rentre dans cette brasserie, on sent qu’on n’est pas n’importe où. Le service est de qualité et on est installé de manière confortable. Une fois que les plats arrivent, on se sent au paradis. La cuisine est réellement délicieuse. Le seul bémol vient de l’addition qui monte assez vite…

Une grande Brasserie
Nous avons découvert cette Brasserie en janvier. Il faisait froid et à l’intérieur, nous étions super bien. On s’y sent à l’aise. Le service est aux petits soins. Le décor sublime. La poissonnerie au top. La nourriture copieuse. Je vous conseille la bouillabaisse. Bref, un très bon restaurant pour qui aime le bon poisson. Bön, c’est pas donné si vous prenez la totale. Apéritif/​vin et digestif. Il faut se faire plaisir. Je vous recommande très vivement cette Brasserie un peu chic !!! Gérard d’Antony le 26.09.2009

Un sans faute
Lorsque l’on se rend dans une brasserie parisienne d’une telle renommée, on a quelques attentes en termes de qualité des produits, service et cadre. Mes attentes ont été pleinement satisfaites: service efficace, attentif et malgré tout discret. Plateau de fruits de mer plutôt copieux, varié et produits extra frais, vin excellent. Un bon point: la serveuse ayant repéré que nous venions en amoureux a eu la délicatesse de nous placer dans une alcôve. Le moins: pas de voiturier dans un quartier ingarable ! En résumé, qualité constante, un sans faute à recommander les yeux fermés.

Brasserie de luxe et très reputée sur Paris Au delà de ca, les plateaux de fruits de mers, bien que très frais, sont un juste en terme de quantité, surtout vu le prix !!! Le service a été desastreux en début de soirée, du fait d’un serveur qui avait oublié de prendre la commande dans sa totalité (nous avons tous mangé en parfait décalage, et surtout très irrité, dès le deuxième plat), on nous achangé de serveur pour les desserts, et tout le monde a eu sa part .
La note est franchement salée, mais il est vrai que la cuisine est bonne et c’est toujours un délice de manger des produits de la mer très frais. Je pense qu’on peut faire mieux et moins cher sur Paris !!!

Wurde uns vom Hotel als bestes Fisch-​/​Meeresfrüchte Restaurant in ganz Paris empfohlen. In der Tat: es war merveilleux.
Zur Vorspeise eine Fischplatte mit Austern, Muscheln, Krebsen, Schnecken, kleinen Crevetten. sehr lecker.
Der Hauptgang: Lobster mit Tagliatelle und tomaten Basilikum und Lobster mit Kartoffelpüree. Ebenfalls ein Traum. Und die Desserts erst. Ich kann es wärmstens weiterempfehlen — obwohl ich und mein Freund die Altersgrenze ziemlich gehoben haben ;-)

Qualité à l’ancienne
Etre la plus jeune de tout le resto né me dérange pas, mais pour les allergiques, il vaut mieux être prévenu: le Dôme est une institution parmi les brasseries parisiennes et on cultive le souvenir du passé… y compris chez la clientèle. Les poissons sont irréprochables, le homard offre un bon rapport qualité /​prix. Evidemment c’est cher, mais la qualité du service (un peu lent le soir, il est vrai) et des mets plus frais que frais justifie l’addition.
