A Review of Table by Bruno Verjus: Does It Live Up To Its Accolades?

I procrastinated on this post for a long time. 2 Michelin Stars and No. 3 on the World's Best Restaurant. The opening line should paint a picture of how amazing the restaurant experience was, and the accolades help guide a tourist in a new city. However, our experience was not great. There were no dishes that stood out and the flavours were average at best. It left us wondering whether we went on an extremely off day, or whether the standards at Table by Bruno Verjus might just not be consistent to be deserving of its accolades. But who knows?

Anyway! We were served the dishes above. It is mostly seafood based. And I believe the menu changes depending on the produce so I am not going to write more about the dishes themselves. We set at a communal table with high seats and had some very interesting conversations with people around the world. It is always nice to have foodies as company and different restaurant recommendations.

Booking

Tables are available a month out and on most Tues-Fri.

Accessibility

6 min walk from Gare De Lyon where metro lines 1 and 14 service.

The Damage

400 Euroes (Approximately 565 SGD) per person not including drinks. There is ability to change the reservation date, but there is a strict no cancellation policy. So once you book, you are committed to dine.

Would we recommend?

No. Did the restaurant just have an off day? I dont know. But the google reviews suggest a polarizing divide between reviewers giving 1 stars and 5 stars. The most unfortunate thing about these reviews, is that the team at Table at Bruno Verjus chose aggression in response to those who provided 1 star reviews instead of thoughtful service recovery. With this in mind, the price point as well as our actual dining experience, we cannot see ourselves returning or trying this restaurant again.
