Great little 'back street' Argentine restaurant specialising in steaks.
Wet as a couple empanadas for starters and Rib-Eye for mains. The steak was cooked to perfection and was just melt in the mouth. Great selection of wine to accompany the meal.
For dessert you need to have the Banana Volcano!! Cooked on demand, it's a soufflé type desert with a molten centre with a banana ice cream - Stunning, and will be top of my list when we return to Paris!!
Thanks for a great evening!

We had an absolutely wonderful meal at Dupin. After dining here on all our previous trips to Paris, we were a bit apprehensive upon finding out that the chef had changed. However, Nathan Helo and his staff are at the top of their game, and our dinner experience was fabulous. Appetizers, mains, and dessert were all creative and delicious, and the service was excellent. It was the best meal that we had in Paris on our trip. Highly recommended.

Always a tradition on our twice yearly visits to Paris and always impressed with the cuisine, the service and the venue. Menu is always creative and food is always fresh. Recommend to anyone looking for an excellent meal at a traditional French Bistro!

The fact that Dupin belongs to the same family as the excellent Biondi and Blanca prompted us to reserve a table there. Unfortunately, the experience was the opposite of our expectations.
And on some dishes, it was even the sinking of the taste buds, and this for 98 € per guest. The crispy veal rice weighed on the stomach, before turning the intestines into porridge, helped probably by uncertain empanadas. A tasty Malbec Don Sylvestre offered a flat to this systemic mediocrity.
No greetings to be expected on the service side, a female double, who displayed a je ne sais quoi fake.
A fake service that pushes heavily for consumption, that stares at the customer, instead of considering it, that brings clarity to the machine at the same time as the bill, that laughs when seeing us leave instead of accompanying us to the door. In short, the caricature of the waitress in a Parisian restaurant in the fashion of the 80s.
From 9pm, we smoked the only table .. But one table too many.

Dinner with four on 12/02/2025. Heavy kibble as a starter, good meats and good desserts, nothing very memorable for almost 90 € per person (taking the cheapest wine). Attentive service and excellent welcome by a charming young woman and attentive but the music too loud ruined our evening. At our request, it was lowered but very quickly raised. Soft music could eventually play, but not the BOUM BOUM BOUM that we had to undergo constantly and which are an insult to this place with an intimate decor. We come to the restaurant to eat and meet family or friends, not to experience "music" that prevents us from getting along. Obviously, we are not going to come back to it under these conditions.

It was the first time in my life that I was asked to clear the table because other customers were expected to arrive.
This restaurant does not specify on its website that it does 2 services!! Leaving the restaurant I told the boy he was acting like a real bear!
pitiful service by an extremely unpleasant boy from the beginning. There were 3 of us and it puts us at a table glued to another or dinner 2 people. So we find ourselves at 5 instead of 3!! Extremely unpleasant situation for us as well as for the table at 2 . ..in the room there were other tables available but the big boy who installed us there replied that it is normal in a restaurant that we are next to other people .. can yes but not glued ..
We have already eaten in this restaurant since it became Argentinian it was day and night at the level now the welcome and service.
I've been around the world and I've never had such a disastrous experience in a restaurant

When it was called L’Epi Dupin this
restaurant was sensational.
Now it is a disaster.
Much of thé food is indelible and the amuse bouche is the worst food I have ever been served. Nothing more than tasteless mush. The rump steak was tough even when cooked as medium.
The clincher came at the end of the meal when my husband ordered a chocolate soufflé and I ordered the The cheese board described on the menu as :
Selection of 3 cheeses from the La Ferme d’Alexandre. Some of thé cheese was delicious
but I as I had already eaten enough I assumed - when ordering - that I would take them rest home to be eaten later. When I asked for that I was told No. Why ? Because you are only permitted to eat it in there restaurant. A discussion ensued where I tried to point out that I had paid for the cheese and was therefore entitled to take them rest home. I was met with utter refusal and rudeness. Apparently they recycle the cheese that you don’t eat by serving it to the next customer who orders it. I was absolutely horrified at the prospect of that. Can you imagine eating someone’s leftovers ? It beggars belief and is obviously the most unhygienic thing I’ve ever come across. They probably do the same with the salads too ! Just revolting.
We will never go again and advise that you don’t either.
If I could give it negative stars I would.

I've reserved this restaurant at The Fork for 9th July. One friend reserved for the same day at the restaurant site where it is asked the country of origin. Strangely my reservation was accepted and the other one form my friend was refused with the argument that they were closed until November. As it seemed to both of us that there were a problem of xenophobe attitude I've cancelled my reservation and we had the dinner at other restaurant in St Germain de Près. After the dinner we passed by the restaurant... and it was open.
For me this is a red flag and I will never again try to eat at this place

This was not a bad restaurant. We enjoyed much of what we ate, but there was too much focus on pretty edible flowers and not enough on depth of flavours. I had a scorpion fish main which looked stunning but just lacked in flavour. They could be amazing with just a little effort.

We met with 5 friends for lunch (main course + dessert).
The lamb confit was not hot enough, but otherwise very good.
The cod was (really) too salty...
The chocolate soufflé was very good.
Very mixed impression therefore from all the guests.
I hope it was just an off day, and I'll give this table another chance.

A disappointing experience after the good press reviews .
There is a definite effort for originality and innovation, but the result is bland and I'm not sure all the ingredients go well together.
No wow factor here.
Service is good and prices reasonable.

For years, Epi Dupin was our go to place. And we were not alone. Full lunch and dinner, tourists and French. Gradually the front of the house staff who brought some order from the chaos and who allowed Epi Dupin to work for us as the surging crowds made it harder to snag a table and to enjoy its unique menu moved on, one by one, for reasons we concluded had nothing to do with the restaurant itself. We were again strangers and we moved on too. So, after an absence of several years, we scored a last-minute dinner reservation. And now we know why. Now Dupin. Same address and décor, more or less, with half the seats removed. But nothing else but memories. Chef retired. New chef and format. He rented the real estate.
Our familiarity with the address (and our error in thinking we were returning to our one-time favorite) initially disorienting. Epi Dupin would have hopeful diners waiting on the street at 8:00 p.m. On a rainy Thursday, one table. An hour later, a sprinkling of more guests to order a la carte from a limited menu of beautifully prepared, complex multi-ingredient choices (pigeon, char-roasted veal, mushrooms). Much to visually admire, but not deeply flavorful. The space seems physically incongruent with the delivery of the food. Half the original number of tables, but the contrast (and the surprise – entirely our fault) made it all the more difficult to embrace the meal we were served verses what we came for.
So many restaurants like it – each would be greeted gushingly in New York (In Boston there would be a parade). But now common in Paris: a brilliant young chef trying to rise above the crowd offering carefully executed, complex and beautiful food at 75-100€ per person, but without the essential combination to make it memorable.

They offer a value for money menu during lunch time and it is worth trying!
Service in general was ok, and staffs were nice in serving food in terms of timing - appropriate in between each menu.
My mum and I chose different menu and it seems they lack of variations in ingredients, but the balance of food was great.
Plus, they use sustainable fish for the dish so you may visit this restaurant if you’re interested in that kind of issues.
