“Renaissance Paris Vendome & Kapara bar”
Review of Kapara Restaurant

Restaurant details
Reviewed 4 weeks ago via mobile

Arrived in Paris, got checked in later than would have hoped for. In the evening came back late from our visit to the Eiffel Tower. Being vegetarians it made little sense to venture out to check out restaurants around Renaissance Paris Vendome hotel.

Instead opted to stay in and eat at the bar. Wow!!!
It was a hugely wonderful experience. The bar offered the same menu as was a next door at the Kapara Lebanese restaurant.

To say that food was exquisitely delicious does not do it justice.
The barman, Cedric, is phenomenal - he is super talented, and super, super helpful.

I will definitely come back again to explore the breadth of his creative genius, and to again experience the Lebanese dishes. Kudos to the chef!

We came to the restaurant several times before when it was the balagan (we could find some dish that were from the time)
We were sat at the bar, facing the cooks.
Always nice experience as you get to try some creations which you won't get at the table.
The food was excellent, and the service, facing the cooks is very nice.

Will come again when the opportunity comes.

Food Good, Service absolutely terrible.

I love Mediterranean food and I’ve enjoyed some fabulous meals in Paris on previous visits. This resturant was a recommendation via AMEX.

We were seated at the counter overlooking the kitchen. We’ve done this at other resturant and throughly enjoyed the experience. Chefs calmly going about their art.

We started well. The chefs talking to us and then after a while taking our order. The lamb chops were not on option today.

Our food arrived promptly and then chaos descended. The head chef seemed more interested in her friends (free wine) and the lamb chops which were off the menu arrived for them as a “present from the chef’.

The temperature in the kitchen was clearly rising as the Head Chef shouted at the waiters and customers complained. For us, no body took our plates and we were simply ignored for the rest of the evening. No desert, and we had to get up to ask for the bill - we were just ignored.

The food is good but not amazing but it’s the really poor service which means we won’t be returning again.

Incredible food, the best service and great ambiance! Try the breads , the sauces, the kebabs, the fattoush salad ,the eggplant and the cocktails -especially Nora the explorer if you like spice. If you are lucky enough to get Sofiane as a waiter ask for ordering advice and try the specials. Wonderful !

Fresh, innovative Mediterranean food in a lively setting! The breads were particularly memorable. The polenta was also delicious.
