Le Magenta

We arrived here for a late evening dinner. Surprisingly, we were not greeted by the so-called ‘Parisian’ attitude. Staff was extremely friendly and smiley. Totally family friendly (although would have been nicer to have a high chair available for the toddler). There’s a kids menu. Despite a late evening dinner, food was really well executed. House wine was great. Value for money! Would we come back? For sure! Thank you staff for the patience and welcoming service.

It is a great restaurant that deserves you to take your time enjoying your courses and drinks here. Chicken is crispy outside and chewy in the meat. The couscous is a definitely must-order, super yummy! Salmon with avocado is the best combo in terms of flavor and taste. All in all, you absolutely don’t wanna miss it.

We visited this restaurant in France with high expectations for the French cuisine, but unfortunately our experience was marred by the poor service. My friend and I waited patiently to be seated and then approached the staff to request menus. The waiter rudely told us to just wait for him, but he never came over to our table. After about 40 minutes of being ignored, I went back inside to try to place our order, but the waiter got upset with me and told me to return to my seat and he would come eventually. Regrettably, we ended up having to leave the restaurant without ever being served or getting the chance to try the food. The total lack of attentiveness and the rude attitude of the staff made for a very frustrating experience. I'm surprised by the poor level of service, as the French cuisine is usually known for its excellence. This restaurant seems to fall short when it comes to providing a welcoming and professional dining experience. I would not recommend visiting unless they can significantly improve their service standards.

My first meal in Paris couldn't have been any more delightful. The location along the busy boulevard Magenta provided for excellent people watching. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, especially the salade Niçoise. The service was also excellent and Tony was not only friendly and attentive, but made wonderful suggestions as well. Can't wait to return here on my next trip to Paris.

Delicious food, good atmosphere.
