🍽️ In this video, I take you to Ze Kitchen Galerie, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
On this channel I usually review bistros and brasseries where you can eat very well in Paris without spending a fortune. But once during a stay in Paris, if your budget allows it, experiencing a gastronomic Michelin-starred restaurant can be something truly special.
Led by chef William Ledeuil, Ze Kitchen Galerie offers a very creative cuisine that blends French gastronomic techniques with Asian influences, including Thai flavors.
During this dinner we tried the 7-course tasting menu, with dishes such as:
– sea bream carpaccio with citrus
– scallops with lovage curry
– line-caught pollack with yuzu and ginger
– confit pork with turmeric and pomegranate
– several inventive desserts
The result was a memorable gastronomic experience, which is why this restaurant receives a very high score of 17.6/20 in the Paris Top Tips review.
If you’d like to experience the restaurant at a lower price point, there is also a 3-course lunch menu for 49€.
📍 Location: Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris

All looks delicious, but sadly, I can't eat so much food at dinner. 🎉❤
Top stuff. I was undecided till now and just reserved lunch for early April. Then dinner at L’Ami Pierre.
table side pouring liquid into stuff in a bowl really stirs my nethers…
A glass of Vovray can't fail. Among my favorite white wines with Muscadet-Sevres-et -Maine and Gewurtztraminer from Alsace. And I drooled over the sea-side part of the meal.
Excellent.
One of my favourite restaurants in Paris as a local foodie. The lunch menu is an absolute steal.
What a lovely dinner. You forgot to mention that down the quai is Guy Savoy (2 star), and across the Pont Neuf is Hotel Cheval Blanc that is home to Le Tout-Paris (1 star), Hakuba (1 star), and Plenifude (3 star). This little slice of Paris is chock full of Michelin starred restaurants.
Magnificent revue … Thank You 👍
So glad you’re moving in this direction. Lots of us are interested in seeing what this kind of cooking looks like in Paris at the moment.
One suggestion for another new direction: a sampling of traditional, colonial-era French-Vietnamese cooking. Not the Vietnamese street food that has become so popular in recent times, and not contemporary “fusion,” but the kind of cooking that has long married French technique with Vietnamese flavors, spices, etc. It used to be possible to find this kind of restaurant in the US, but they have all died out. On my next trip to Paris I want to experience this kind of cooking again, and your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I’ll have to try the lunch menu!
I'm not big on the French-Asian fusion dining experience, but this video makes me think again my stance. Your plates looked mighty tasty. The lunch deal, which another commenter called "an absolute steal" at €49, is more to my portefeuille's liking, however. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Quality counts, I'm so glad you have found yourself able to experience these environments. I dream of them , I agree with the oysters. 🎉❤ I'm so glad you have friends and family who appreciate your interests.
I had a lunch there and loved it.
There are a million restaurants in the world that look like Ze, and they come and they go. I understand the food is what we go to restaurants for and, Laperouse should up its culinary game, but you cannot even compare the history of Laperouse with many other restaurants in Paris. I understand what you're saying, and you don't want to feel like you're paying to go to a restaurant just for its historical setting. But F–k what a setting. I'm from Canada. We have nothing like that here.
You are a tough judge, Alain! At 19/20 for food, this is the highest mark you've given in that category. Wonderful and descriptive reviews–thanks!
