Chez Janou Paris Reviews
Some good food and some misses.
The mussels, chocolate mouse and bread were good. The shrimp with anise main course was under seasoned. Cool environment overall.
Yea... we got influenced. Chez Janou is a cute bistro
Yea... we got influenced. Chez Janou is a cute bistro spot... cute green & white stripe entrance decor, crowds of ppl waiting to grab a spot inside. Well - we did reservations 2 weeks before our arrival to Paris and grabbed a lunch slot. Glad w
Laye.lunch nearly dinner quiet neighborhood worth the trip.
Excellent! Excellent portion for Ribeye and Ravioli was perfect, also had the Roasted goat cheese and it was amazing! From Chicago where we know great food.
Wonderful experience
Excellent - such a buzz and food very good and v good value. We went twice on our short stay in Paris. Also the staff were so friendly
A wow experience - the food, the ambaiance, the staff - don't miss
Wow - the food, the atmosphere, the service - everything is first class. Not to be missed! The food is traditional Provencal - which means good hearty food, made to perfection. The place is crowded, vibrant, many local are eating there (so menus only
Tourist Trap - A rudeness experience
If you’re looking for an evening of charm, warmth, or even basic courtesy — look elsewhere. From the moment we arrived, the experience was a masterclass in arrogance and hostility. The maître d’ was aggressively rude — not just brusque, but
Best Bistro in Paris
Great French bistro. Highly recommend, will definitely revisit. Quality French food, great atmosphere and worth the price, not over the top. Worth the ratings. Went with my wife for lunch, we had the- Daughnine ravioli for starters. Duck breast and
Don’t bother!
Booked a reservation 4 weeks ago for Chez Janou as I was visiting with my partner for our anniversary. I was so excited to try Chez Janou after seeing so much online and wanted to try the infamous chocolate mouse. The reservation was booked for 10:00
Terrible service
Terrible experience due to the service. We arrived at the restaurant and, as soon as we stepped on the access stairs, the waiter (short hair and beard guy) made a “back off” gesture at us, the kind you would make to a dog, without even saying a w
Always fabulous
Always on our visit list when we come to Paris. Sometimes we do it more than once. Sherry, one of the people who makes our experience, exceptional, always remembers and treat us as if we’re loyalty. The tagliatelle and escargot is wonderful. The du
This was my first nice dinner after I arrived in Paris.
They provide complimentary olives, which were so good! I ordered fish, and my friend ordered shrimp and rice. Dinner was great, but the dessert was TO DIE FOR! My friend has eaten here several times and warned me that the chocolate mousse would no
This restaurant was one of the highlights of my first time
This restaurant was one of the highlights of my first time in Paris - it checks off my 3 must haves of a great dining experience - good food, good service and good vibes. We had a reservation for 4 on a weeknight. There are a pretty big crowd waiting
Fabulous and delicious!
Great Food! So well prepared and presented! Great service! The price reflected the great taste! We did not wait long for the food. Such friendly service too! Loved the ambience, such fun and very interesting! I would definitely go back tho Chez Janou
One of those "Gotta try if only once" places in Paris
So popular it's best to pre-book but well worth the visit. Wonderful and friendly staff, great venue beautifully decorated, good choices in menu. It appears the popular thing presently is to video the chocolate pudding being served here. Meals a

I was hesitant to dine here due to its social media popularity, but it ended up being the best meal I had in Paris. We were unable to get a reservation but showed up at 11pm on a Saturday night and were seated within 15 minutes. The atmosphere made t
all round excellent !!
We had the - pasta with snails , steak, chocolate mousse, creme brulee & cheese. best cheese my partner has ever had, and all round excellent. mousse very very rich !!
J’adore !
Lovely, lively, authentic, generous, sympathetic.. typigial French south west dishes .. very good quality .. desserts amazing .. efficient and super kind staff.
I do not recommend this place.
I decided to take a friend who is visiting Paris to Chez Janot, since I had often heard about their famous chocolate mousse. I had never been before, but it seemed like a good opportunity. Unfortunately, the whole experience turned out to be extremel
We loved our Chez Janou experience.
The restaurant is very charming with a beautiful outdoor area and a quaint inside area. We started our meal with the mussels and those are totally a must! Their olives are probably the best we have ever had too! Then we got the duck and my boyfriend
A charming welcome to Paris
On our very first night in Paris, we stumbled across this gem and couldn’t have asked for a better start. Arriving around 6:30 pm on a Wednesday without a reservation, we were lucky enough to find a table outside. The setting was wonderfully Parisi
This charming spot was an early highlight of our Paris trip.
We lucked out with perfect timing--walked in and were seated within 5 minutes. By the time we left, there was a line out the door. The setting is gorgeous and full of character. My wife ordered the duck, and I had the entrecôte--both dishes were co
Amazing warm welcome and lovely hosts.
The place is sold out though we had to wait about 15 mins and wasn't bad at all (walked about 40 minutes to get to the cafe :)). We ordered the Avocado Tartare and the Mussels along with their amazing chocolate mousse to round up the lunch.
The hype is real.
Was able to get a walk-in seat at the bar after a short 20 min wait. My only prewarning is they do not allow you to order just drinks and dessert. It wasn't hard to twist my arm to add the mussels gratin which were so tender and full of flavor.
Wow, what can I say about Chez Janou? We came for lunch
Wow, what can I say about Chez Janou? We came for lunch without a reservation and quickly realized most people book ahead. The owner told us we could join the waitlist, which was over an hour, and although she didn't take our number she promised
Underwhelming and rushed
Two of our party were keen to visit Chez Janou based on personal recommendations and the breathless reviews (especially for the chocolate mousse). As we could not get a dinner reservation (it was fully booked for weeks ahead), we chose to round off o
This restaurant obviously needs no review from me: people
This restaurant obviously needs no review from me: people were four deep on the sidewalk waiting for a table as we left from our lunch. We let the server choose a pastis for us to start, and it did not disappoint. We shared a moules gratinees. My son
delicious
We went without a reservation and they accommodated us. We were so lucky they did! Staff was happy, energetic and very welcoming. Food was delicious
Bustling place and long wait times.
But the food, the service and ambience were all good. Got the escargot, fish and crème brûlée. The ravioli was tooo cheesy.
Tasty
Bustling French restaurant. Food was tasty and staff were really friendly. We recommend the chocolate mousse. The waiter even asked if we wanted more mousse! You can book on the same day - I’d advise doing this as there was a small queue when we ar
My sole request was to be able to try the Chez Janou
My sole request was to be able to try the Chez Janou chocolate mousse on our trip to Paris, and this spot did not disappoint. The servers are incredibly personable and friendly- this level of hospitality must be remarked upon! My boyfriend and I ar
The service was, frankly, terrible.
Our server was curt, dismissive, and seemed genuinely annoyed at having to take our order. Questions about the menu were met with eye-rolls and sighs, as if we were inconveniencing them. It wasn't just inattentiveness -- it was outright rudeness
Overall we had a lovely dinner at Chez Janou.
It definitely has the vibes or you get what you get and you don't get upset! We got seated inside and you are basically on the lap of the person next to you and they have to completely move the table out for you to get out of your seat. So as lo
Must visit when in Paris !!
The best duck breast and the best chocolate mousse I’ve ever tried ( and I’ve tried many!) We ordered 4 different dishes plus dessert and everything was excellent, service professional. I don’t know why there’re any bad reviews, we loved our
Be careful about coming here if you're Asian.
Straight up racists. Treated other families with respect and courtesy but completely ignored mine because we spoke in Mandarin. Googled them And found out other Asian people have had similar issues. Y'all gotta do better.
Don't Fall for the Hype:
My recent visit to Chez Janou in the heart of Paris left a bitter aftertaste – and it wasn't from the food (which we never actually got to try). While the restaurant boasts a charming atmosphere and a renowned Provençal menu, the service left so
Worst Experience
I recently visited a highly anticipated dessert spot known for its chocolate mousse. Despite the hype, my experience was disappointing. Upon arrival, we were informed that no food would be served until 7 PM. We decided to stay and wait, ordering drin
Racist restaurant
Racist place. I advice people not to go. Mediocre food. Paris really living to it reputation as not friendly and being racist. I was having such a good time until I visited this place.
Friendly place friendly staff
Food was excellent as well as the service. Staff was friendly and happy to assist with choice of a meal. Had a really nice late dinner :)
Very vey nice
Great local place for a great pastis. Next time we will make reservations and try their food. the atmosphere was very nice
Heel erg teleurgesteld
The worst experience that we ever had, they were so racist and unprofessional And they food tasted so bad can’t even explain I would not recommend anyone eat there
Very French 🥂
We had a lovely meal , was very quaint & had great vibe, highly recommend , staff very helpful. We did make a reservation as they seem to be very busy most nights.
Hotel recommended, and we were not disappointed! Crowded,
Hotel recommended, and we were not disappointed! Crowded, so be prepared to wait. The hour wait was worth it (went to wine cafe around the corner). I had Entrecôte Bistrot served with roasted potatoes. My friend had the Risotto. Both were delici
Super cute restaurant.
Good food. But get a reservation before showing up!! They can be very rude!!
You came here or not Sunday afternoon around 2:00 p.
m. and the person outside told us we would have to wait around 45 minutes for a table but barely were there for like 5 minutes. They were calling names very quickly and someone was not there. Their name was being canceled so we were actually there fo
This place lived up to the hype.
Called a few weeks ahead and made a reservation. We were seated immediately. Service was excellent. The food was superb. Super busy and patrons were seated close to each other. Filled with tourists and locals. A must when in Paris.

At first I was happy with the service, the man working the door was able to squeeze us in without a reservation but we were warned that they would need the table within the hour which was fine because we planned on just getting dessert and drinks. Wh

Went here after a long day, we attempted to make a reservation earlier but all was in french. The host was very nice and said he could give us till 8, we took it! nothing spoke to us on the menu, so we decided to just get some desert and a few drinks
Best meal I've had in Paris so far.
The ambiance was great and the food even better, but definitely get a reservation or get there early!
This was the first restaurant I visited in Paris after a 2
This was the first restaurant I visited in Paris after a 2 hour train trip from London. Even at 10:30pm on a Tuesday night, the place was bustling and people were seated thigh to thigh -- I can't imagine how crowded it would've been on a weekend even

Another restaurant with a long wait line that somehow resulted in a short cut to excellent food and service for us. We were seated at the counter because we were willing to chat with locals and staff who had a lovely sense of humor and were very hosp
Connect with users posting reservations for Chez Janou Paris
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Chez Janou Paris. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Chez Janou Paris at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Chez Janou Paris page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at Chez Janou Paris to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Chez Janou Paris!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
