Grand Cœur

We were told to come here by a friend. Oh Wow! The place was amazingly rich with history and beauty. We were greeted warmly and sat the the primo window spot. Julian the general manager was so warm and helpful. He had a custom veggie dish for us made to perfection. Tell him Jason and Daphne from USA sent you. Wine was ice cold and so tasty. The chocolate tart was so good. Gotta try the other dishes tomorrow too full now

Lovely little restaurant with an adorable patio. Major Parisian vibes here. The server was helpful and offered a decanter when we thought our wine was a bit tight -- the Fleurie then opened up and was great. I had a fantastic duck dish, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meal.

Aloha, GrandCouer was recommended by our host as a neighborhood gem. And he was correct. Great food, awesome wine list with fantastic French faire. Enjoy!

Arrived for a late brunch and they really did not disappoint!

The pumpkin ravioli is one of the best things I've ever eaten, and I was SHARING it! The cream was inspiring! Not super creamy but still a strong cheese flavor, hoping I can recreate something like this at home. The fois gras and fish dish also were exceptional, I'm just never forgetting the ravioli.

Arrived in the early evening, walked into a space with exposed stone and rustic beams, and warm, yellow lighting. Wait staff is youngish and maybe a bit inexperienced, but eager to please.

As soon as the crunchy little amuse bouche met my mouth, my mouth was definitely amused. Omigod, it had everything--salt, sweet, fat, melty, crispy. I knew from that bite it would be a meal to remember.

The menu changes seasonally (as it should) so my review may be of dishes that are no longer served. I started with parsnip soup (Veloute de panais), beautifully presented, and both comforting and elevating. The vegetal creaminess was expected, the depth of flavor and pistachios were a surprise.

My main plate was Beef Cheeks (Joue de boeuf), and it was perhaps more straightforward than the other dishes--the beef was quintessentially French, rich with concentrated umami like in a beef stew. The accompanying vegetables were simple and perfect.

For dessert, I had white chocolate cream with passion fruit. So lovely. Not overly sweet, and again, beautifully presented.

I had a lot of great meals in Marais on this trip, but this was hands down incroyable. The price wasn't too crazy--maybe I'm just used to Boston prices for subpar food. Makes me sad to come back.

What a beautiful space! We ate outside and had a lovely meal. They accommodated our 3 year old daughter and we were blown away by the service!

Delicious restaurant in the 4eme. Service is friendly and accommodating, but ALWAYS slow. It starts off strong, and then slowly weakens as you move through the meal.

I took my parents here for a lovely dinner, and it quickly became one of their favorites due to the food and ambiance. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating (when the weather is nice)...they interior is beyond charming, while remaining stylish, so I would recommend sitting inside.

With the above said, I'd likely recommend it for a casual upscale lunch over instead of dinner. The interior is very dimly lit at night, but flooded with natural light during the day.

1) They start you off with some delicious bread.
2) Order an app. They are all good. You cannot make a wrong choice here.
3) The beef is good; however, their guinea fowl is unbelievable. Try to go in the fall, and if you can get the guinea fowl with corn purée, you'll thank me for ordering it.
4) Make sure you've ordered all the wine, beverages you want BEFORE your meal arrives. The service falls apart once your meal comes, and good luck getting any refills.

5) When it comes time for dessert, skip it and go somewhere else. This is when the service is in shambles. It will take 40+ minutes to get your dessert, and if you order coffee, it will arrive lukewarm.

So that's the good and bad of this restaurant. It's a 5 star on food, but a 2-3 star on dinner service.

I have eaten here a few times. Most recently last night with a group of 10. I continue to be thoroughly impressed with both the food and the service. Juliet, our server, was stellar. She has a firm grasp of the wine list and the ingredients of the dishes served. The special starter of eggs and white truffles was incredibly good, but the real star of the evening was the lamb. So beautifully roasted and crazy tender! Literally just pulled apart with a fork. I intend to dine here every time I come to Paris. For price - 10 people, all had a starter, a main and most had dessert and we shared 4 bottles of wine (good wine!). Total price was a 880 euros. We all thought it was extremely reasonable.

What an impressive meal and atmosphere! Tucked in a little courtyard, we didn't have a reservation but were lucky enough to be seated. The food gras was perfectly cooked and broccoli soup creamy ( could have used a bit of spice). My vegetarian polenta was marvelous with sautéed chanterelles and poached egg. Husbands dorade was accompanied by lemon foam to perk it up. Tarte tatin was the best I've had in years.

I loved this restaurant. We sat in the outside in the courtyard on a warm nights. Watching dancers in the windows above the courtyard gave the night a magical feel. The tables our close but since our neighbors were speaking french it just added to the incredible atmosphere.
We started the meal with a couple of gin & tonics. They let you choose your gin and then add an accompaniment such as lime or ginger. The drink was excellent.
For a starter I had the asparagus and for my main the lamb shoulder. The lamb was one of the best meals I had in Paris. For dessert we had the whites chocolate dreamy which was equally amazing.
Overall an amazing evening.
