Opinions LA DALLE EN PENTE Paris

Such a wonderful first meal with our first visit to Paris! The owner along with staff were amazing and so helpful with talking through the menu in English for us. We all thoroughly enjoyed every bite of dinner.

My wife even forgot her wallet and they stayed open for us as we didn’t realize until later that night. Retuned it and really made our first night in Paris unforgettable with the kindness they showed! Very thankful to have dined here!

Arrived too late at Caluche but owner was kind enough to send us to this quintessential but modern local restaurant with great food and service, what a find!
Recommend the aubergine (had that smokiness you want) and the artichoke, while squid was perfect.

Lieu chaleureux ou l’on peux ripailler comme il se doit entre copains…
Spot caché du 5ème.
Super rapport qualité/prix.
Je recommande !!! :)
Merci encore à l’équipe !

Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est. Bon produit mais la cuisine manque de raffinements. Le patron/serveur est un commercial pas vraiment à l’écoute. Nous avons été déçus

La cuisine et le vin étaient bons, mais le service était trop lent.

Bonsoir,
Très déçu par votre restaurant à la suite du dîner d’hier soir vendredi 21 avril.
Plats très chers, trop chers pour une qualité très insuffisante, un manque d’originalité que ne compensait pas le goût.
Dommage…

Cuisine très juste et réussie, les propositions de vin apportaient l’équilibre parfait. Nous avons passé une merveilleuse soirée avec l’équipe! Merci,
Camille et Vianney

Bon endroit pour déjeuner
Convivial

Qualité, fraîcheur et bonne humeur. Venez tels que vous êtes et vous serez reçus avec chaleur par une équipe tout aussi aimable que serviable ❤️

Super cozy place and the staff is very welcoming.

Sur conseils d'amis et après avoir lu un article recommandant le restaurant, nous nous sommes rendus pour le déjeuner à "La Dalle en pente".
Malgré un lieu agréable et une carte qui donne envie, nous ne conseillerons pas ce restaurant... 1h30 d'attente un midi à Paris, qui ne s'explique pas au regard des trois plats à la carte et des 5 clients dans le restaurant.
Un service au début chaleureux qui s'est dégradé à mesure que notre attente augmentait : pas d'excuses ni explication.
Après un bon moment, nos plats arrivent enfin. Peu de goût, presque froid, plusieurs moules pas cuites. Le serveur (gérant ?) s'est même permis une blague/moquerie quand nous lui avons demandé du ketchup pour accompagner nos frites. Assez culotté quand on vient de passer 1h30 à attendre nos plats. Il ne nous a pas accordé beaucoup plus de considération au moment de payer : aucune question sur comment s'était passé notre repas, ni d'excuses pour l'attente. C'est nous qui avons dû lui signaler les moules crues.
Il a de lui même proposé d'offrir un verre de vin que nous avions consommé pour s'excuser de la cuisson des moules, seul point positif qui ne suffit pas à relever le niveau du restaurant.

Une bonne adresse, une carte courte, un excellent service, sympa et efficace. Ce resto est sur la bonne pente !

Les Tentacules de poulpes, incroyable.
Et le vin….

Lieu plein de charme,patron disponible et à l écoute,cuisine delicate

I have a pretty good job professionally, however I am quitting my job to apprentice for this wonderful chef to learn the magic that comes out of his kitchen. Every dish was immaculately crafted, and every bite was better than the last. France will have to extradite me back to the states if they want to stop me from coming to this restaurant every night for the rest of my days.

Très belle soirée dans ce restaurant qui a du cœur, avec une jolie ambiance aux tons chaleureux et une carte parfaitement maîtrisée en plus de très bons conseils. Merci !

Excellent food and service. We really had great dinner, managed to get a table in this small place that has its own specialties and a selection of wines. And not too expensive either. The outhouse toilet shrinks a bit the score for atmosphere (although you could consider it part of the Parisian charme), otherwise everything was friendly and cosy!

Les plats sont absolument superbe. Excellente recommandation sur le vin. Des vin moderne, et une expérience nouvelle. Je recommande vivement.

Des mets délicieux, bien élevés en ce qui concerne les viandes et bien choisis pour les légumes.c est très fin et des vins étonnants et sublimes...

Some of the best food I have ever had. We are from the US and tried this restaurant on the suggestion of people we met on the street. A little hole in the wall without even a sign in front. They serve traditional French food. We had their risotto, octopus tentacles, and vegetables plate and OH MY GOD! They are experts at flavor and ambience. The dishes were simple, elegant, and incredibly tasty. I will forever recommend this place. Merci beaucoup!!!

Bon chef bon patron bon... Tout est bon????allez y les yeux fermé ????

I live in the neighborhood and had the pleasure to get a taste of the atmosphere and menu of this subtle unassuming red front restaurant a while back.
International friends were visiting and i recommended this place for a more intimate evening, from the bustling Paris Latin quarters. And i am so glad i did!
My friend Gabriel whom's more comprehensive appreciation and review you can find below, loved the place so much he made it a point to go back on his last evening before going back to North America.
I then had the enhanced pleasure to properly experience La Dalle en Pente and most importantly its excellent owners Théo & Goran.
Could not resist a few cheese plates paired with a personalised wine tasting. As we were lucky enough to go to a wine passionate's run restaurant the night of the Beaujolais Nouveau -the first wine of the year to be tasted, a centuries-old french tradition. Théo guided us through the tasting, allowing us to enrich our vocabulary in our attempts to describe the sensations.
While we might have been shy at first and sat on one of the tables, taking in the feel of the place from a distance. The enchanting vibe soon enough invites you to dive in and participate further; Quickly we joined the rest of the french and european guests at the bar with the owner Théo. And indulged further into regional french specialty: don't miss out on their high end and rare Calvados selection -only 82 bottles distributed of this Normand brand La Larme du Pelerin.
If you are lucky enough, you may get a chance to taste Théo's homemade Rhum arrangé: the one we got that night was a glorious mix of coffee, cinamon and some other mysteries.
Overall, you guessed it: I highly recommend this place. Whether you're a local or in town for a few, check it out yourself and get your own taste of franco-serbian hospitality.
I will be back ????
Théo, Goran, merci pour votre accueil, votre partage et votre passion. A tres vite!

TLDR; a hidden gem - excellent food; serves multiple French delicacies ranging from oysters to octopus tentacles to calf brain and tongue; killer wine selection and pairings (the owner is an expert!) as well a great cheese selection. The atmosphere is unassuming and inviting, friendly and intimate- 10/10 MUST visit.

The long version;
I am a vulgar American visiting from NYC, my buddy and I stopped by on the recommendation of a friend, neither of us quite expected this spot to surpass our expectations the way it did. I have lived all over the world, and eaten at more Michelin star spots than I can count or recall; this place EASILY gives them a run for their money. We sat at the bar and started with a glass of wonderfully crisp white wine while perusing the chalkboard menu- below is what we ordered:

The atmosphere;
Intimate, cozy, unassuming, and friendly. The owner is friendly, easygoing and knowledgeable. The chef and waitstaff are equally so!

The food;
To start; a plate of delicious, buttery oysters served with nothing but a side of butter and the sharp, salty brine in which the oysters were picked - a delicious amuse-bouche. We also enjoyed a rich yet light veloutée and a loaf of sourdough.

We then followed up with Veals head- the brain was fried arrancini style, (accompanied by the tongue and cheeks served with a wine-based reduction)- somehow striking a balance between rich and light, I highly recommend this dish. We also ordered a plate of octopus tentacles prepared “a la portugaise” (served with a side of celery root fries) neither were overly embellished, served with a simple butter and herb sauce. The tentacles were divine; soft and perfectly cooked, neither too chewy nor too crispy- they quite literally melted in your mouth.

Finally, to finish, we enjoyed a formidable cheese plate; I couldn’t tell you what they were called, but it was a pleasing combination of semi-soft and soft sheeps milk cheeses which we consumed with a loaf of rich, dark sourdough, and yet another glass of wine.

All the while our wine pairings were expertly guided by the owner- Theo, whom has worked with some of France’s leading purveyors of organic and traditionally produced wines, and who himself has produced his own vintages. Theo is a charming, gentle and warm guy- unassuming and refreshingly open- his restaurant is an excellent reflection of his personality.

I must also shout out the chef- whom I had the pleasure of conversing with at length, and whom allowed me to taste his personal blend of Zaatar (which, while not Lebanese, was nonetheless delectable and well balanced).

If I had to choose words to describe our meal…. (1) balanced (2) rich (3) simple/unassuming (4) well executed - truly the meal was well balanced- in flavour and in tempo.

This is the type of dining experience that you might be lucky to find in NYC for $300-$400, yet all told, our bill came out to €140 (exclusive of tip). If I could rate this place 6 stars, I would. I keenly look forward to coming back!

Déçue par ce restaurant dont la devanture, la carte et les très bons avis Google donnaient très envie. La carte est en effet alléchante mais les plats et les produits ne sont certainement pas à la hauteur des tarifs pratiqués. Pour exemple nous avions commandé un "carpaccio de fraise guariguette" en entrée et, puisque nous étions en terrasse, nous avons littéralement pu suivre des yeux le cuisinier pour le voir aller au Franprix du bout de la rue et revenir avec une barquette de fraises (qui n'étaient d'ailleurs pas des guariguette)... Et nous avons retrouvé dans le plat un morceau de fil électrique dénudé. Le serveur, qui était très sympathique, a cependant été commerçant et a retiré l'entrée de l'addition.

Cadre intimiste, équipes chaleureuses, plats savoureux ✨
