Nice little corner bistro with very friendly staff. The lunch menu was our good by meal in Paris this year. Value for money is fully given, the meals are huge and you should be very hungry to eat there. As mains we had the smoked salmon with spinach and the duck. The duck was a little dry but generally tasty. The spinach with the salmon was the better choice this time, even if I would have wished for a little less of the salmon. The desserts where the best we had in France so far. Nice place and we would come again in the future. Smaller servings would be not bad so that we can try the starter the next time

Hands down the best dinner that we had in Paris. The manager went out of his to explain us the menu which was in French. Dishes were very generous and tasty. Recommended.

I feel bad leaving this review as this place as so many good reviews but here we go… first, we spotted two cockroaches on our table during the meal. We killed the first one but the second one was too much and we left mid meal. I can’t recommend this place considering this. I would say it already looked dirty and ran down when we got there, so it seems like there’s a lot of hidden hygiene issues with this place. I’ll also comment on the atmosphere: really weird, we felt like everybody including the waiter could hear our conversation even when we whispered. I felt weird the entire meal and almost was happy that the cockroaches gave us an excuse to leave mid meal. The food is… it’s not bad but it’s not great either. The portions are huge but it doesn’t feel very fresh. Tbh even without cockroaches I don’t understand why this place has high grades.

Best Meal in Paris! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Paris- an absolutely authentic, local joint. The service was amazing! The proprietor took such good care of us and was very patient with our limited French. Such a fun experience. Even better than the service was the food. Everything we ate was incredible, but a few dishes stood out: Raviloes du Rayons bathed in a rich chorizo gratinée, Lyonnais sausage cooked in a thin pastry with a pistachio sauce, topped with Foie Gras, figs & apricots on a bed on lentils with a balsamic reduction, and Reinette apples roasted in Cassis with a dark chocolate sauce, finished in violet liqueur were the highlights. When the proprietor brought the check for the three course meal plus wine and a gratis digestif, I thought he had made a mistake. So affordable! We ate at a ton a great restaurants in Paris including a Michelin star, but this was, without a doubt, the best meal. I plan to return to L'Alchemiste every time I return to Paris, and you should too.

The food was good but I wouldn't say excellent. I had a boeuf bourguignon, it was good but too heavy on the palate: beef with lentils, it would have been bice with some potatoes to make it a bit lighter and not have one flavour only. The other dishes were good too apparently (salmon, and the duck). The dessert was good but too sweet unfortunately (chocolate one & lemon one). It would be great if the meals were a bit later and more diversified in flavours because the food is good, service too and prices for the location are great! 18euros for a dish+dessert
