AMÂLIA Restaurant in Paris

"Loved the 8-course tasting menu! Not cheap but fairly priced. Wine pairing menu too expensive though, and wine options also quite steep. Great service, nice and attentive staff, food was a great experience and I highly recommend it. Cozy, smart casual atmosphere, dinner service took around 3hours (for planning purposes)."

"What to say when everything is perfect ? Textures, tastes, risk taking and innovation, with mastery, and quality products. Wonderful service all along, Somelier's knowledge and recos, the entire service team. Chef's visit and discussion at the end. Definitely a coup de coeur 2026 (and we're just in February !) Will certainly come back : creativity at its best, including desserts, even while I'm not a sweet tooth."

"Our evening at Amâlia was exceptional, unforgettable and utterly delicious. I've visited multiple Michelin starred establishments, but none has 100% nailed it terms of what I expected from a starred restaurant. Well, Amâlia finally delivered, in every possible way. We loved every moment of our visit, and enjoyed the welcoming personalities of the restaurant team almost much as our meal. Chefs Cecilia and Eugenio were friendly and enthusiastic about their craft. These people know food and understand how to develop an interesting, delicious, well-composed menu. Everything they presented - from the creative amuse bouches, through the multiple courses, and finally the mignardises - was thoughtful, creative, beautiful to look at and absolutely delectable. Our waiter, Victor, was warm and knowledgeable about the menu, and the sommelier, Hugo, is a wine wizard. I loved discussing wine with him, and it's clear he puts significant thought into crafting each wine pairings. They even babysat my hat - which I left at the restaurant - for three days! We can't wait to return during our next visit to Paris. Merci beaucoup à l'Équipe d'Amâlia!"

"This will most likely be the best restaurant you experience when you visit Paris! 11/10 - I plan to visit every time I come back to the city. Before arriving at the restaurant, I knew the service was going to be amazing; they allowed us to modify our reservation from 3 to 2 people as one of us had to drop out due to an emergency. When we arrived, the atmosphere and treatment of their customers were high quality and luxurious yet retained a close-knit and genuine environment. The food was top notch - there were so many exquisite flavors in each small bite. I literally CANNOT pick a favorite. The quality and amount of food was phenomenal for how decently priced this Michelin star dinner was. The best part was the people - Chef Eugenio and Chef Cecilia and our servers, especially Kai were so kind, genuine, and attentive! My sister did not drink and they were more than happy to provide alternatives that allowed both of us to experience the dessert. We loved their homemade butter and bread so much that we wanted to take what we couldn’t eat onsite - they instead packed brand new bread & butter for us to take away. We blew through 3 hours at this place and it felt like minutes have only passed. That is how much fun we had at this place. Love Amâlia and will continue to spread the word of how lovely this place is to everyone who is willing to listen."

"Our visit to AMÂLIA was a delight. We had no trouble securing a 6:30 pm slot for two when we booked two weeks in advance. Our table offered a clear view of the open kitchen and the hardworking chefs. Overall, the meal showcased a creative menu, friendly staff, and an experience worthy of its one Michelin star. Food - Both of us chose the LE GRAND MENU AMÂLIA, an eight-course tasting menu that concluded with petit fours. Hong added the €20 Kristal caviar supplement to the scallop dish. The menu felt well-balanced overall, though it leaned noticeably toward seafood. - Every dish displayed varied textures and multiple layers of complementary flavours. The ingredient combinations were highly creative, with some surprising pairings that worked beautifully. - Standout dishes included: - The RED MULLET ‘À LA BOURGUIGNONNE’, a clever reinterpretation of the classic beef bourguignon. Perfectly cooked red mullet sat atop tender beef wrapped in sour spinach—an unexpected fish-and-beef pairing that tasted extraordinary. - The FROZEN PEAR dessert, served with a Dijon mustard caramel sauce. Hong was initially sceptical about the mustard, but it cut brilliantly through the richness of the goat cheese mousse. - The SPICY SCALLOPS featured a single scallop with nduja, watercress, and ginger sauce. Unfortunately, the scallop was slightly overcooked and had a rubbery texture—a disappointing miss for an otherwise promising dish. When we mentioned it, the staff handled the feedback gracefully and thanked us. The caviar supplement, while tasty and harmonious, ultimately felt unnecessary. - The black-lemon smoked butter for the bread was delicious but arrived mid-meal with no explanation. We were left eating plain bread for quite some time, unsure whether the delay was intentional. Service - The main hostess was exceptionally warm, spoke perfect English, and showed genuine passion for the food. She happily elaborated on dishes that intrigued us and recommended a non-alcoholic Amaretto Sour to pair with the 70% CHOCOLATE dessert—it was a surprising and delicious match. - The team was generally friendly, attentive, and welcoming. - A few servers had limited English, which occasionally made dish explanations unclear and led to some details being lost in translation. - Minor issues: our water glasses often went unnoticed, forcing us to refill them ourselves throughout the meal. There was also a long, awkward wait for the bill—tables who asked after us were served first. Atmosphere - The seating was quiet and intimate, with a minimalist yet professional décor. - Table lamps placed directly in the centre of the table looked elegant but disrupted the intimate feel and made conversation awkward across the light. We ended up moving the lamp to one side for most of the evening. With an updated menu, perhaps we could return again for a future visit! :) / double takes by Sara and Hong Yau /"

"We had an extraordinary meal and a truly memorable experience at Amâlia. As people who take food seriously, this was the highlight of our trip to Paris. The service was impeccable, and we felt genuinely cared for from start to finish. Each dish was beautifully composed, and every bite was pure perfection. It’s clear that the owners have poured their heart and soul into this restaurant, and they are supported by a wonderful, attentive staff. Thank you for an unforgettable evening. It's one we will cherish for a long time."

"One of the best dinners we ever had! The level of taste and originality is truly extraordinary. I wouldn’t be surprised if they get a second star. Service was really good. The restaurant is small and it’s clear that the owners really care about their guests. Only two small remarks: wine pairing is rather expensive (100 eur for 5 glasses) even if wines were amazing and the sommelier was outstanding. Also, there were some small spots around us who needed some cleaning (like the knob from the heating element)."

"My wife and I celebrated our 15th anniversary here - couldn't have asked for a more welcoming place. Eugenio, Cecilia & their team was so gracious and kind. We got a true chef's table experience and that added to what the night had to offer. The truffle cheese, the caviar scampi and the pasta were superstars amongst a star studded menu. Thanks Eugenio, Cecilia & team. Bravo!!"
