We happened to see this restaurant on tripadvisor.com and reserved a table through thefork.com (could also have used the restaurant website: http://www.firminlebarbier.fr). The restaurant is located about two streets away from the Eiffel tower. The food was very good, although the choice was very limited. We had delicious pumpkin soup, and fish (prawns and scallops) as the main dish. Including... More

We are staying literally around the corner from Fermin. Upon scoping out the neighborhood the first day we walked past and made a reservation for that night. So here's the story.

I booked this place via 'The Fork.com' before we left for Paris after reading the reviews on TA and knowing it was close to the Eiffel Tower. This restraunt is small, but lovely. We both had a starter and a main course, I think the menu changes frequently. The service was friendly and quick. Our starters were lovely (pate and... More

This was a great find in a touristy area. Very small and non-descript. Service, food and wine were all excellent. Book this hotel for dinner and then you can see the Eiffel Tower light up at night as you walk out of the front door of the restaurant. More
