I loved my dining experience with Place Carmin. As a non French speaking tourist I was worried but the staff were all very friendly & took time to explain the dishes. 100% of everything we ordered was top notch quality & memorable. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to any friends.
Great food We went for a special event, around 20 friends. The first floor area was reserved for us The food was exceptional, so tasty & refined. Relatively reasonable price for the quality & location. Excellent professional service. Highly recommend.

It was delicious. Fast & friendly service. Good atmosphere. A bit away from the old town, so rather authentic place. We were recommended by a friend who works as a chef & being here. Enjoyed our evening.
Experience de très haut calibre. très bon rapport qualité prix & service exceptionnel. Pas trop bruyant même si la soirée était occupée. Serveurs présent mais pas trop avec une connaissance approfondi du menu & de belles recommandations.
Nestled in the alleys of old port is a hidden gem. Cozy setting & good soul food makes you craving their fancy yet subtle desserts. Highly recommended for brunch & dinner.
J'ai mangé le pain perdu au foie gras! C'était Divin! Le matcha latté était exquis! Le service discret & bienveillant! Superbe lunch, merci pour le service impeccable! Je recommande haut la main ❤️

I am usually bot the biggest fan of fancier places but this one was amazingly good. Every dish was excellent, & from someone that doesn't like sweet stuff, the desserts were just amazing. I thing every single one of them was the best version I ever had, I can't recommend the creme brulee enough, best one out of 100s I tried before (same for the paris brest).
Great place for a romantic dinner! The service was exceptional, waiters checked in on us multiple times throughout our dinner. The food was amazing. Recommend the onion soup, cavatelli & sea bream. To finish off we had the crème caramel which was delicious. The bread basket was quite small but they'll bring you more if you ask for it. 10/10 recommend.

Service exceptionnel, ambiance feutrée, éclairage parfait. Seul bémol sur la nourriture, les condiments marinés omniprésents m’ont déplu. Super concept, resto recommandé.
Les portions sont généreuses & le service est très attentionné.
Je recommande l'entrée de pieuvre, l'omble & les champignons poêlés... c'était délicieux!

The service here was exceptional. Our main server was very nice & very attentive. He was very knowledgeable about the menu & provided great recommendations. Some servers were in training the evening we were there & they did a great job as well. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed the scallop ceviche. & the boston lettuce our server recommended was a surprising stand out. The restaurant is beautiful as well, very light & airy.
