4. L'Epi Dupin

My wife and I have been there twice. The food is tasteful, but the place is very crowded and the service is rude.

I love this restaurant! I enjoy both the prix fixe lunches and dinners that include a glass of wine. I live about four blocks away and feel that this restaurant is a super value for Paris. Their soups are lovely, their desserts sublime and the quality of the seafood and meat is always excellent. I just wish it would switch to all nonsmoking. Bon appetite!

My wife and I had an appalling meal there last year. My seat faced directly into the lavatory. The service was extremely rushed and lacking in courtesy. The food was novel but unappetizing. I have lived in Paris and visited it many times but this was a tourist trap.
