Le Castiglione

A wonderful corner café right around the corner from the Jardin des Tuileries. We stumbled upon this place years ago and this trip our concierge directed us here– for a great selection of food and cocktails. I am in love with the steak tartare and French onion soup, to be prepared with an espresso martini. You can never go wrong with some Sancerre, and they have it here by the bottle. The spring roles and foie gras are also great options. The host is friendly and accommodating and my niece loves the lollipop that was offered when we finished. A definite stop if in Paris by the park!

Hemos tomado la sopa de cebolla y estaba buenísima, pero luego el steak tartar fue de los peores que he comido. La carne estaba tan deshecha que la textura era más de puré que de otra cosa, además de que estaba muy poco sazonado. Para poder comerlo hemos tenido que echar mostaza de la que habían traído para las patatas fritas (precocinadas por cierto). No me esperaba eso en un restaurante de ese precio, no me importa pagar por la comida cuando está buena y no fue el caso.

This place is recommended to me by French locals. Needed a late night meal near Place Vendome — which really clears out after 9pm. So at 10pm wandered in. Had tuna tartare and a hamburger (recommended by my locals). Both were great. Place was pretty empty. You want to eat downstairs. Service was great and there was no attitude at all when I said we were business travelers who had to «eat and run» quickly. Love the atmosphere. So Parisian.
In the Spring and Summer, this is a nice place for a late evening beer. I love that this place is open late. About 3 – 4 tables outside. Just off of Castiglione — basically across the street and around the corner from the Westin.
Convenient to the Westin, Mandarin Oriental and the Ritz. One block from Jardin Tuileries and two blocks or so from the Louvre. And color me a fan of Place Vendome and that great column. And thank you for the late night hours.

Stopped in for some wine and a cheese platter. We had prompt service and they were friendly. We order a glass of wine for 12 euros and a cheese platter for 25 euros. The cheese dish had 6 different cheeses. A bit pricey but the cheese was good.

Perfect place for BREAKFAST. friendly service and prime location. the menu is simple and you can’t go wrong. Juice is freshly squeezed. bacon is probably the best bacon I’ve ever had!

Mediocre brasserie on a busy street… Nuff said.
24 euro for a plate of smoke salmon.
Service was a bit slow

Great restaurant. We’ve been here for 3 years in a row now. Food is good and a good value. Service is friendly and my lack of French language skills has never gotten in the way. Always look forward to these meals.

We woke up late and wanted to find a place for a quick breakfast — the café’s red velvet curtains and bordello looking design drew us in.
Service was okay but server didn’t bother to write down our order — hence the incorrect dish was served to us (this seems to be the norm or is it just me?). We were in a hurry so we didn’t even bother to send it back. Food was okay and didn’t make too much of an impression. I think that it’s better to have a coffee and croissant at the bar.

Sol meunière et tarte maison succulentes entre autre, cadre chic & parisien, ambiance feutré au 1er étage qui plait beaucoup à mes amis asiatiques, staff aux petits soins, parfait pour une halte après la rue de Rivoli et son jardin et avant d’attaquer la place Vendôme.

Good food and nice ambience for a mid-​shopping meal. Had the foie gras and the grilled sole and it was very good, the fries were ok, nothing special and the veal Milanese was pretty bland and over cooked, but I will come back and get something else off the menu.

It was our last night in Paris, and we had been out all day and we’re looking for something, easy, casual, and close to our hotel (the Westin near Le Jardin Tuileries). The concierge recommended this place. It had a very charming and Parisean atmosphere. The menu was somewhat limited, but what we did have was very good. My husband had the rack of lamb, and I had a warm goat cheese salad. While I would not recommend this as a go to destination, if you are in the area, and are looking for something quick and easy, this is a very good choice.

Very over priced. Pitiful service. Food is quite disappointing.
Staff is very rude and do not seem to have any regard for customer service. This restaurant seems to be ideal for tourists for who have no common sense or more money than sense.
Avoid it!

I’ve eaten at this restaurant several times, and I’ve never been disappointed. Tonight was no different; I had sole meunière and a chardonnay. The sole was very good and served with mashed potatoes that complemented the delicate fish. I had a table for one just inside the building, but open onto the street, giving me shelter from the breeze but a good view of the traffic on the street. I erred by having the chocolat glacé for dessert. It was truly good, but it was too strong to follow the sole. I’m a fan of this restaurant, and recommend it.

Alors je né suis rentré dans ce café restaurant que pour prendre un café crème à emporter. Mais j’ai eu un choc lorsque l’on m’a demandé 4,50 € pour un crème!!! A emporter!!! Et fait par une machine! La meme que dans un restaurant d’autoroute…le barman a juste eu besoin de pressé un bouton!!! Le quartier né justifie pas ce prix!!! Une vrai honte!!! Et je suis de Paris.

Mistake #1: Listening to the recommendation from the concierge at the Westin for a great little local place near the hotel.
Mistake #2: Not leaving immediately upon being shuttled upstairs for dinner into a room full of tourists. As I heard a waiter say to a local that had wandered in (I think he assumed no one spoke French), «Not in that room, that is for the tourists.»
Food was mediocre at best — solid $ 25 for a plate of penne pasta with canned sauce and a single lonely basil leaf. Other dishes ordered at our table were devoid of flavor.
Got two stars as the waiter was pleasant and attentive, definitely not for the food.

I ate here twice with the family, both times upstairs where its mostly empty — and the kids can misbehave…
The food is pretty good, the home made foie gras is tasty!
Small portions, a la France, and Expensive it sure is… like most of Paris, especially around this Plaza Vendome area!
3.5 rounding to 4

On a bien choisi notre jour pour se balader rue St Honoré: sous 30 °C à l’ombré, on né fait pas long feu. Ainsi consumés, on s’installe au Castiglione, petite brasserie typiquement parisienne aux tons rouge et or, pour une Campari — Orange (que c’est amer ! mais c’est là, un autre débat :)) quand mes yeux se posent sur le Casti burger — où plutôt quand le Casti burger me sauté aux yeux étant le seul écrit en gras. Il est à 23 euros avec 3 euros supplémentaires pour le bacon. Ni une, ni deux, je le commande et tente d’imaginer ce que je vais bien pouvoir avoir pour 23 €…
Le service est rapide et je me retrouve, en moins de deux, avec une immense assiette blanche et le burger posé magistralement en son milieu. Il né doit pas faire plus de 10 cm de diamètre mais je suis déjà impressionnée, peut-​être par l’écrin, sûrement par la sauce qui déborde et qui se mêle au jus de la viande. Un coupelle de frites (100g à tout casser), pas d’autres accompagnements, pas d’autres garnitures — bref, pas de fioritures. Les frites sont de style «McDo-​mais-​mieux-​que-​chez-​McDo» et dont la cuisson est tellement parfaite que je les attaque à mains nues.
Le burger, maintenant. Immédiatement, c’est la sauce que l’on remarque — et tout est fait pour qu’on la remarque. Et ils ont bien raison parce qu’elle est délectable, à mi-​chemin entre celle de In N Out et celle du Big Mac — oui, rien que ça. Bön, elle est plus In N Out que Big Mac, mais qu’importe, on comprend pourquoi ils né se soucient guère d’ajouter d’autres garnitures au burger. D’ailleurs, la tranche de cheddar est inutile — complètement inexistante en bouche et à peine fondue.
Quant à la viande, elle est succulente, tellement que je pourrai la manger à la petite cuillère. Toutefois, si je devais être pointilleuse — et je vais l’être :), j’aurais aimé une viande légèrement moins maigre pour avoir une meilleure texture. Enfin, le pain est juste comme il faut, c’est-à-dire qu’il fait honneur au contenu en jouant le véritable rôle de catalyseur de saveurs qu’on lui demande.

This was the place where my son had snails for the first time. The waiter said «Don’t worry, there’s so much garlic, you can’t taste the snail». And he was right! Delicious! Staff was helpful and aimed to please. Food selection was varied and good. Ambiance was warm and attractive. I’d go back!

We were looking for a good Steak frites place and we found it. Good solid food, a nice wine. Tables full of frenchmen having a bite and a glass after work.

While staying at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel I asked one of the staff where to go for a bite to eat and enjoy a drink while taking in the Paris ambiance, this place was perfect. It was a nice day out so I sat outside taking in the ambiance and people watching.
I ordered the Grilled tenderloin of beef and Béarnaise sauce rare and when it arrived, the presentation was perfect and after my first bite, I knew that I found a place that I would return to as it was perfectly cooked and seasoned.
I ordered a chardonnay from their extensive wine list, this place is family owned and operated and you can tell it’s a family that has its priorities right, make the food the best in the 1^st district and the ambiance exactly what people want and the customers will come. They do take reservations and if you are looking to dine during the prime times please do make a reservation.

Sitting outside in any Paris café among the Parisians, the cigarettes and the caffes is a MUST do. I like this one because it is on Saint Honore meaning sexy men and pretty women. I smelled money there.

I am staying with five stars simply because the food is excellent with a wine list to match. The only disappointment was they have become too Americanized rushing the food before the wine! We will always love this place. A burger to die for. Specials are always spot on and did I say their wine is awesome. Eat inside for a more romantic feel upstairs in the red velvet seats. Sit outside and you get to hear discussions of politics from people who live in other countries but know so much about American politics. People it is vacation. Can we just shut up and eat?

Overall, I would give this restaurant A+. It has great ambience, excellent food, and welcoming service. Their desire to please was phenomenal.
There’re two parts to this restaurant. The downstairs is a bar and café which allows you to sit by The bar watching television or sports as well as outside. Upstairs however, is a restaurant. In that restaurant there’s a quieter more intimate feeling. The staff there were very welcoming and let us stay for several hours without bothering us in any regard.
The food was excellent and freshly made and very tasty. My wife had organic salmon and I had the fish of the day. Just as a note, the fish of the day came as a whole fish. I was surprised by that. However I was very pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food.
My wife had an appetizer with goat cheese and I had a traditional French onion soup. Both were excellent.
Finally, we had a Napoleon. It was not what I expected having had American napoleons. However it was lighter and more flavorful with vanilla cream.
The waiter, Vincent, was very receptive and very friendly. He accommodated my terrible French and also gave us good information regarding dishes.
I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Endroit hype et riche en deco tres sympa
Quartier fortuns et le plus proche de place vendome (ou je travaille)
A essayer: casti burger et le club sandwich
Tarif excessif mais bon…

I’ve eaten there several times and the food is good. The location is great and if you’re looking for a quiet dinner then you should go upstairs. The service is not consistant — sometimes it’s poor and inattentive and other times it was fine.

Ouvert de 7h à 23h, ce restaurant tendance permet de prendre aussi bien son petit déjeuner à l’anglaise, de déjeuner sur le pouce ou de se faire un dîner en tête à tête amoureux dans la salle feutrée du premier étage. Une cuisine traditionnelle et goûteuse réalisée par un jeune chef sous la houlette de Géraldine Pezzotti. J’aime leur soupe à l’oignon, leurs bons poissons et la tartelette au citron.
Je prend un ou deux verres de vins, un café et tout va bien.

Le Castiglione est un restaurant qui joue à 100% la carte du tendance. Avec son décor un peu boiseries et moquettes, les patrons voulaient surtout créer un cocon feutré pour les dîners des gens fortunés du quartier.
Outré l’organisation de brunchs, il faut dire que le prix des plats à la carte pour des assiettes très présentables mais peu satisfaisantes d’un point de vue gastronomique né donnent pas envie de revenir. Comment dépenser 22 euros pour un Casti Burger? Ce restaurant né se réserve donc qu’aux personnes qui désirent vraiment aller du côté de la riche et inaccessible Place Vendôme.

Entre des boutiques de joaillerie et de haute couture, Le Castiglione, correspond tout à fait à l’esprit du quartier, chic, sélectif et raffiné.
La décoration est plutôt contemporaine, l’ambiance feutrée. Le carte vous propose une cuisine traditionnelle fine et savoureuse.
Assez pratique pour les déjeuner et dîner tardifs puisque le service est continu du matin jusqu’au soir.

Ein schönes Hotel in allerfeinster Lage. Freunde der Mode werden sich die Nasen an Schaufenstern platt drücken, an Gucci, Prada, Hermes und Co. entlang flanieren und sich gegebenenfalls stilvoll ruinieren können. Aber nicht nur das: Tuilerien, Madeleine, Louvre, Place de la Concorde: alles in Fussdistanz. Restaurant und Bar sind ebenfalls zu empfehlen.
