The staff here could not have been nicer. We booked this because it was within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower. For was good. Drinks were good. The lamb shoulder was excellent, but was not hot when it was served. Just an oversight I think, I would go back!

We started with the burrata, which was delicious. Then had the lamb. Melted in my mouth. Service was exceptional. (Hugo was a great host!) Will definitely go back!

Great experience and great food/wine. Ian was our waiter and made the night fantastic with great service. You can’t see the Eiffel Tower but the atmosphere here alone makes up for that. Utterly fabulous evening.

This was our last night in Paris and we had an amazing meal at Abstinence. My favorite was the Korean fried cauliflower! Superb!

Service was absolutely garbage. Some of the worst I’ve seen. Was like pulling teeth to order a drink or anything off the menu. Took over 30 minutes to get my bill. As a result we missed New Years. Won’t eat here again.

This was a very disappointing bizarre evening. We booked last minute New Year’s Eve celebration after a train delay so we didn’t have high expectations. But this was just awful. I think this is the first time in my life I actually writing a negative review. The price was 180€ per person. We waited 30 min for a bottle of water And an appetiser. Then 40 minutes later still no starter, because apparently someone forgot about us. When it finally arrived We actually had to send it back. I can’t even describe how bad the food looked and tasted. We actually still laughing about it. It was raw undercooked dough falling apart But the chef insisted it has to be like that. By then it was already 11 and we arrived 9.30 sharp we asked if the main and the dessert can be speed up so we can actually leave before midnight to see the fireworks. By 11.30 The hardest chewiest gnocchi one can find arrived. but anyhow at this point we just wanted to get out so we asked for the check. And this is where the funniest thing happened that made me write this review. 15 min later the check still didn’t arrive so we asked again and annoyed waiter told us that we have dessert coming. We already said we don’t have time to eat it we have to go. 5min later the check arrived and the waiter said we don’t need to pay for our lemonade 10£ each as a good gesture for their delay. But then the same moment our desert arrived. My partner was already on the way out but I was so hungry I quickly took a spoon of the desert. That same angry with man handle bar moustache runs right back to us and says - oh if you will have the desert then you have to pay for your drinks. The 20£ for the mocktails we had. He actually told us to come back to the cashier and pay for the free drinks he just offered just because I took a spoon of our dessert we paid for 180€ each.. and that is what get you bad reviews. Having bad food is subjective . Having mean greedy attitude is a universal no.

We have been welcomed by friendly and professional staff and than after seated on our table the waiter suggested us some cocktails which were really tasty!! Food is very delicious and everything is well looked after… HIGHLY RECCOMENDED
