I went to Octave during my visit in Paris after watching Gabie Kook's Youtube video and it did not disappoint. Both the service and food were exceptional. Our waiter helped us pick a bottle of white that paired excellently with the food. The food is based on Korean dishes but mixed with French technique, which is something I haven't come across. Definitely a Michelin-star worthy restaurant. Afterwards it's a very quick walk to view the Eiffel Tower at night. Two thumbs up!

We had a really nice experience here. This is a first time, i have tried gastronomic korean food in Paris. Everything is really interesting, you can still taste the authentic but at another level. The food portions here were generous. The service is really good and the atmosphere is cozy. This restaurant will be great for a romantic date.

Wonderful French/Korean fusion fine dining. Charming extremely capable Korean chef, via Los Angeles and now Paris. Tasting menu is the only option. Good wine pairing proposed. Service was excellent. But the star of the dinner was the sequence of beautiful flavorful elegant dishes. Restauranteurs use the word "fusion" rather freely; in this case, the fusion is real, creative, and delicious. Highly recommended!
