There are restaurants with cozy decor, a friendly atmosphere, and food that makes you want to fly into the sky, and then there are those that disappoint. Here is a small collection of the worst restaurants in Paris as reviewed by users on Tripadvisor. And the comments are pure gold.

At Le Bonbon, we have a habit of revealing our favorite addresses - the ones where you can enjoy a good meal and have a great time at the table, and most importantly, where you know you will always be warmly welcomed. But sometimes, you also need to know where not to go. That's why we took a little trip to TripAdvisor to find the worst restaurants in Paris. And let me tell you, it's scary. "The worst place in the world!" With a ranking in dead last (No. 14,533 out of 14,533 restaurants in Paris - that's quite an achievement) and a rating of 1.5/5, this brasserie located near the Eiffel Tower has been voted the worst restaurant in the capital by TripAdvisor users. And it's not just based on the opinion of two people, because it has collected a total of 533 reviews, including 115 with only 1 star. And the comments are not kind: "Avoid this tourist trap brasserie at all costs. The service is slow and the food is terrible."ste », « Malaise and incomprehension. How can such a establishment still remain open? », « Just shameful... Nothing is right, the reception, the food, the rushed and heavy atmosphere, the unfriendly staff... The exorbitant prices for cafeteria-worthy cuisine... ». In short, I think you get the picture.

Bistrot Le Champ-de-Mars
45, avenue de la Bourdonnais – 7th


“ Just another scam in Paris ”

With 285 reviews and a rating of 1.5/5, this bistro-café located in Place de la Bastille has taken the 2nd position in the list of worst restaurants in Paris. The complaints include outrageous prices (“ €8.7 for 33 centiliters of Evian water”), a manager with an incredibly aggressive attitude, and a team that is disrespectful and even insolent. The dishes are described as frozen and tasteless... A collection of negative reviews that might scare away tourists and locals. We'll leave you with this comment from August 18, 2023: “ Want to get sick? Want to pay for a meal you couldn't even eat?”.

« Run as far away as possible from this place! »

Apparently, restaurants near the Eiffel Tower are not a hit. With a rating of 2/5 from 1,224 reviews (that's a lot of unhappy customers), Café Le Dome is ranked 14,530th out of 14,533 restaurants in Paris. Why such a bad rating? Well, it seems to be a tourist trap according to this dissatisfied user: « TOURISTS, RUN AWAY !!!!! A SHAME for French cuisine !!! A pitiful establishment, outrageously expensive, nonexistent food quality, dirty toilets....». I think we don't need to say more.

Café Le Dome
149, rue Saint-Dominique – 7th


« the place NOT to be »

This restaurant with its breathtaking view of the rooftops of Paris ranks 14,529th out of 14,533 restaurants in Paris. A ranking that is even more surprising considering it is a restaurant located on the rooftop of the 5-star hotel Madame Rêve... Although the establishment is currently closed, the latest reviews dating back to September 2023 are quite damning: "What a disappointment! Average welcome and service, palm-sized and very expensive plates, a €120 bottle of wine served lukewarm with the explanation 'they are all like this because they are stored in a warm room'. A small cardboard pot of ice cream with no interest as dessert, no sign of a manager... A bill of €295 for 2. Madame Rêve is more of a nightmare! "

« Just a step away from fighting »

Once is not enough, a restaurant at the foot of the Eiffel Tower has once again fallen victim to the hateful comments of Tripadvisor users. With 1179 reviews and a rating of 2/5, this restaurant on the Quai Branly obtains the 14,528th place in our ranking of Parisian restaurants. « Aggressive » staff, « Deceptive » menus, « Super dirty » toilets, and « Frozen » bread... Nothing very appetizing. Want more? « A 2 euro coffee at the counter... And there, I go down to the toilets: I have never seen anything so dirty! Incredibly filthy: and it had been like that for at least a week, I spare you the details... Imagine the kitchen, we wanted to eat there, well, we went our way.
