Les Enfants Perdus: Authentic French Cuisine in Paris

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Paris’s 10th arrondissement, Les Enfants Perdus offers a quintessential French dining experience that feels both intimate and invigorating. This charming restaurant invites guests to savor the delicate artistry of traditional French cuisine, elevated with a contemporary twist and seasonal ingredients that truly sing.

Start your culinary journey with the exquisitely creamy Burrata accompanied by roasted figs and pears, where the richness of the cheese beautifully contrasts with the natural sweetness of the fruits, creating a harmony of textures and flavors that awaken the palate. The house-made Tarama offers a lighter, yet deeply savory bite, perfectly paired with crusty bread to scoop up every last dollop. For those drawn to earthier notes, the Risotto aux Champignons Parmesan delivers a comforting umami richness, every spoonful boasting a silky blend of mushrooms and the sharp, nutty tang of Parmesan. The Patate Douce Rôtie au Chèvre Frais serves up a delightful balance of sweet roasted sweet potatoes and creamy fresh goat cheese, a simple yet unforgettable combination.

Les Enfants Perdus boasts a place for Foie Gras de Canard with Beetroot Chutney, a decadent indulgence where velvety foie gras meets the subtle, sweet acidity of beetroot, a signature dish that captures the essence of French culinary elegance. To finish, surrender to the comforting charm of Le Pain Des Enfants Perdus, a luscious brioche prepared in the style of French toast with a dreamy caramel sauce that crisps and melts in your mouth — a perfect sweet farewell to your meal.

The drink selection harmonizes perfectly, featuring organic pure juices like the vibrant Jus de Grenade and the refreshing Jus de Pomme, each press capturing nature’s freshness in every sip.

Dining at Les Enfants Perdus is like stepping into a warm Parisian kitchen — rustic yet refined, buzzing with subtle energy yet relaxed enough to linger over each course. The ambiance is cozy with an understated elegance, encouraging conversations flavored with laughter and the clink of glasses. Whether you’re a local seeking familiar comfort or a traveler in pursuit of authentic Parisian flavors, this restaurant offers a culinary embrace that delights the senses and warms the heart.

For those wanting a true taste of French sophistication coupled with creative playfulness, Les Enfants Perdus stands out as a must-visit culinary haven on Rue des Recollets.

We enjoyed an amazing dinner at the restaurant. The food was superb, featuring exotic plates such as udon and red finned tuna, a fusion of Japanese food. Besides, the duck breast was absolutely stunning! The vibe was also cosy and warm, and the service was more than excellent! The waiters and waitresses were all very helpful and friendly, wearing bright smiles! The restaurant was very inviting, we had children with us and they all enjoyed the wonderful dinner!

The crème brûlée is absolutely delicious, especially with a set of three flavors: original, hazelnut, and pistachio. The staff are also friendly. Next time I return to Paris, I will visit this restaurant again

we came here three times during our stay in the area. the food is absolutely exquisite. everything is cooked to perfection. service is great. i came and got the exact same meal every night, the veal. i tried veal at two other expensive restaurants, and they were not as good as the one here. the pain perdu is also the best desert..EVER. we will miss this place and will be back next time we’re in Paris.

As I spotted on lots of photos, I highly recommend this restaurant. Especially the steaks are awesomely tender I didn’ have to chew at all !! Marvelous foods here. If you live here or swing by here why don’t you come around and enjoy this lovely gourmet?

We had a pleasant and delicious dinner at Les Enfants Perdus. We are in Paris on a Home Exchange and staying in the 19th arrondissement, and it's so lovely to try the local cafes and restaurants. Les Enfants Perdus did not disappoint. We were treated warmly and all of the staff went out of their way to smile at us. And they served some tasty food! My husband had the pasta pesto, and I had the fresh ceviche- Don't miss this little place, it's a gem. (PS: everyone kindly spoke in English - helpful.)

We went there as a group 10. Everybody loved the food, very tasty but would prefer the salmon to be less pinky/raw. The tables are small compared to the size of the group and so close to the next table, it was very hard to move and had trouble with sitting back to back with the other table. Recommended wine also didnt meet the expectation perfectly but it was ok.

Friendly staff. Funny concept. Good food. It is around 25 euros the main dish, 10 appertizes and close to 10 the desserts. The veal was very well done and worth trying if it is a fixed menu. Wine bottles are little bit more expensive than usual for restaurants on the same range. Starting at 30 something euros.

Very good. Best meal in a restaurant I've had in a decade. Luis was an amazing server. Even though Luis was busy, he had the patience to explain the menu and each course, with great English. Fantastic place for first time Americans looking for a French meal to die for. This is my first love in Paris.

Lovely place, we visited France for a long weekend for my partners birthday and we asked the hotel we stayed at if they had any recommendations, both of us worried at the start as my partner is vegetarian but they where so accommodating and friendly and the food was the best we had all holiday by far! Would definitely say it’s worth a visit!!!
