Our first night back in beautiful Paris & we had a beautiful dinner at Le Compas Paris-Montorgueil & amazing care & service by our waiter Sebastien. From the moment we walked in the smile & pleasure the staff showed us was just amazing. Sebastien waited on us with such care & gave us advice on our wine & meal. He chose the perfect wine for us both & it was just right for our meal. What we chose was just so lovely. Thank you making our first night back in Paris something to remember. Outstanding in service, food & atmosphere.

Great food; the tartare de bœuf was especially tasty. We also appreciated the warm and friendly reception from everyone, especially Eli (Helieh) the GOAT! If you come here, expect to be well received and to enjoy impeccable food and service. Hope to be back soon.
