We arrived in Paris and our arrangements had us in a small hotel across the street from this restaurant. After a bit of research on TripAdvisor, a consultation with the hotel staff and a quick look at the Michelin Guide (where the restaurant appeared to...have a “plate” award), we decided to go. We were so glad we did! The food was authentically French. I ordered sweetbreads and they were flat out extraordinary! Others ordered the pork. The appetizers were to die for as were the desserts (particularly the fig-based dessert). The wine list, we thought was very reasonable and high quality. Others seem to have complained about the service, but our server was delightful and we had no difficulty using our credit cards, even to the point of the server dividing by 5 (the number in our group) and multiplying by 2 for the couples. In short, not only was this place handy for us, our experience was outstanding.More

This is a cozy, quiet, relaxing feeling as almost visit into the family's home where you are welcomed and treated to genuine hospitality. My impression was this is a family owned restaurant and that the owner or one of the owners took care of us,...not served us, but really treated us well. He was proud of his food, but in a humble manner, and discussed it with us somewhat as a parent brags of his child, and rightfully so because it was delicious.More

After all the good reviews on trip advisor, I am sorry to say that I found this restaurant very disappointing. My husband and I have spent 6 weeks travelling Europe and have been eating out every night and we would rate this restaurant very poorly...in comparison to other restaurants without this Michelin recommendation. The owners were unwelcoming and the waitress was incompetent. The food was only just ok and definitely unremarkable. The previous night we ate at La Creole which is around the corner and had an excellent meal with extremely helpful and cheerful staff.More

Visiting Paris? Wanting to eat authentic French Food and avoid the tourist traps? Come here. The wait staff is very friendly and were happy to go through the menu with me. I had the Beet Gazpacho, Rack of Lamb, and Chocolate Ganache. All very good...and would order again. Come check this spot out.More

Immerse yourself in the friendly Parisian atmosphere of this small restauranr, set on a quiet street, a one minute walk away from from the subway and "big names" brasseries. The food was delicious (oustanding mushroom and vegetable risotto), served in a timely manner and at...reasonnable prices. Their daily lunch formula is popular in the neighborhood and the place buzzes with activity on this occasion. Friendly staff, nice "ambiance."More

On a recent visit to Paris, we ate at Wadja because the threatening weather kept us close to our home base. I didn't really expect much, but it was just a few steps from our apartment and I decided to settle for convenience over quality....Boy was I wrong! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was friendly and impeccable. My husband had a fish soup that was one of the best things I've tasted in a very long time. I'm not sure if I would travel far for Wadja, because there are so many great restaurants in Paris, but I am grateful that we found it in our neighborhood. If you're in the area, do check it out. And it's a five minute walk from the Luxembourg Gardens, so you can stroll over after a lovely meal. Highly recommended.More

We arrived at this restaurant for lunch after a very long flight and harrowing ride from the airport. We were tired and hungry! My 17 year old granddaughter is a vegetarian...not a problem at this restaurant. The chef prepared a special soup for her which...she declared to be delicious. The prices were very reasonable as well. This restaurant is rather small but this adds to its feeling of coziness. Our server spoke English very well. I highly recommend this restaurant.More

The restaurant itself it charming, clean and on a quiet street in the 6th. Service was absolutely impeccable. Friendly, knowledgable and helpful. As for the food itself... well, the only problem and the reason for the 4 stars was that my meat was reeeaally overcooked....Beyond the "medium" that i asked for. Not incredibly a dramatic incident (and i didn't complain about it) but it just bugs me. The starters were wonderful as was the dessert. Would DEF recommend for a good evening.More

My wife and I enjoyed dinner here. Complimentary leak soup with mussels excellent. Oysters in appetizer were a bit soft for me. Mushroom soup superb, as were sweetbreads. Veal tartare dish disappointing, really hard to identify flavors. Cheese plate had great variety & quality, and...ganache of chocolate was fine. Chinon cab franc was a fine accompaniment at about $50. Room more brightly lit than we prefer, but consistent with modern food style. Service fine.More

Friends and I had dinner and Wadja on Thursday 17 November 2016. The restaurant is situated off Blvd Montparnasse in a quiet street and close to Vavin Metro station. Mushrooms for starters; scallops and egg plant for a main; and a cheese platter to go...with a bottle of Bordeaux Red. Service was excellent and waiter was professional and polite; the owner/manager explained some of the dishes. Menu is excellent for a small restaurant (it can seat approximately 20-25). I will most definately return to Wadja.More

If you're in the Montparnasse area, or even if you are not, don't miss the opportunity for a meal at Wadja, a reasonably priced restaurant with a young chef to watch. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-course dinner, which starred delicious and creative dishes, starting with...the little amuse bouche, a tiny bowl of creamy leek and potato soup accented with mussels. The service was also excellent, helpful in explaining the chalk-boarded menu in English and completely enthusiastic about their chef. Wanja is located on the tiny Rue de la Grande-Chamière, a street with an artistic past, just off the main Montparnasse intersection of Boulevard Raspail and Boulevard du Montparnasse at Place Pablo Picasso. The locals certainly seem to know and appreciate this place. Now, visitors to Paris should, too.More

This is worth a visit. The 25-year old chef is original, creative, and talented. Our courses ranged from cod fish arranged to look like shrimp, delicious chicken stuffed with mushrooms, an amazing vegetable plat du jour, and deserts with fresh fruit. The menu is constantly...changing to reflect what's available in season. The owners are very efficient and accommodating. Our bottle of wine was off and they promptly replaced it. After the meal, we called for the chef to make an appearance and we gave him a well-earned round of applause. Overall, a magical evening!More
