Saturne - Paris

People, save your moneyWe spent $344 euro this evening for completely uninspired service and really great bread and butter.

A prix fix, many course chefs choice dinner is the only way to go in this great gastropub looking restaurant.

We went to this restaurant last week and had the 7 course taster menu (a little trio of appetisers first, followed by this amazing cold cucumber soup, then two fish dishes - ours was raw tuna and then lobster, a meat dish - we had duck, and two desserts but the chef varies the menu each week) along with the wine flight.We booked this last minute on that evening as we had gone to another up and coming restaurant and were bitterly disappointed with their poor service and menu. In hindsight this disaster was the best thing that could have happened to us!!The food will stay in my memory for years to come which is when you know you've had something special! The cold soup to start, the raw tuna with fig, and the duck were just inspiring. The duck fat had been rendered down to perfection - something which is usually a massive bug bear of mine when not done right - and the accompaniments and flavours throughout every dish were very well balanced and layered so fantastically!The wines we were given were natural so no additives and you can truly taste the difference and they brought out the best in the food so much so that we took photos so we can order them ourselves! The waiter was great aswell - he was very relaxed and his laid back approach helped make the evening feel homely and unpretentious which is a rare find in Paris!We would recommend this restaurant highly!!!

I really really want to give this restaurant 5 stars because we got served some of the best food that we have ever eaten. The tasting menu was absolutely delicious and we ate food combinations that we had never had before!! We also went on to try the dessert which was so incredible. I absolutely love the fresh ingredients that are used. The only down fall for us was that the staff weren't overly attentive. They were all extremely nice when we did speak to them (I didn't find any of them rude despite another review I read) however I think they seemed a little run off their feet at times and we ended up having to fill up our own water and wine at times which I don't think is really acceptable at a restaurant like this. However other than that we had a great night. Loved the minimalistic decor and the room was very spacious - didn't feel cramped with other diners. I would recommend this restaurant to others visiting Paris.

My wife and I enjoyed a lunch menu at Saturne beginning of August 2017. We both decided to take the lunch menu accompanied with a bottle of bio Chardonnay. When selecting the wine the waiter was very helpful and patient and after we tasted the first bottle and made clear we didn't prefer it, she took our feedback and found us a bottle that we did prefer. So that was great service. The food is good in the sense that everything is well seasoned and prepared. Their style leans towards organic food (and wine) and presents it in a rustic & modern way. While we thought the food was good (dessert was the best), it did not meet our expectations considering the fact that the restaurant is valued with one star by Michelin.
