I eat at and review Ze Kitchen Galerie, which is in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France. Ze Kitchen Galerie comes from chef William Ledeuil, who incorporates a number of Asian flavors into his cuisine, based on French classics. The restaurant has a Michelin Star and serves an affordable tasting menu of 7 courses for €125.

Was the tip not included in the bill?
Ooh la la
Another wonderful video!
Not to be a nitpicky jerk, but that's not how you pronounce Guy Savoy. It's more like "Gee (rhyming with see) Suh-vwha
Looks great! But I'm not sure if I'd like the wasabi ice cream. First time I ever tried wasabi, I mistook it for avocado. I didn't make THAT mistake again!!!
I’m just curious, have you ever sent anything back at a Michelin star restaurant? I may have said something about the pasta.
Sick! Ugh
You seem to travel often, as I do. I was always getting sick.
2 things I changed (I'm a nurse): wear an n95 mask from the time you get to the airport til you get to your hotel. And before I fly i put neosporin or other triple antibiotic ointment in my nasal passages. Yeah it sucks but getting sick is worse and losing several days of travel. Repeat on your journey home.
I have not been sick since.
BTW, dig your videos and adventures. Been watching for a few years.
Hey James, always love your reviews. I do hope, though that you got to visit some Homie authentic Paris bistro’s.
Im surprised you’ve never had wasabi ice cream before. It’s all over the place here in NYC
I am sorry you were not feeling your best, but glad you enjoyed your experience. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi James I’m happy to see this week’s food vlog & review of “Ze Kitchen Galerie” nice wood tones to the interior of the restaurant, love me some wine 🍷. Nice selections of entrée nicely presented fish course, pasta pasta is my favorite dish, sorry it wasn’t cooked up to par . Overall I’m happy you had a nice dining experience and look forward to next week’s vlog ❗️

Can't be sure, of course (and that;s why you should always mention an issue to a restaurant when you are there), but it seems that the pasta were cooked al dente the European way. Al dente pasta in the US are actually way softer than proper al dente. I've seen countless American tourists complaining that pasta in Italy is under done. it's just the way it is done other there.
Order un carafe d'eau if you want to order still water in France for free, James. Cheers.
I wonder if the underdone pasta was intentionally – like them having a special interpretation of "al dente" – as it was more or less the same thing for two different pasta dishes with very different types of noodles.
Always my pleasure, And Your True Gift of the Grace and Indiiscretion of Your Experience is Truly Appreciated and Valued ✨✨✨✨✨
Hi James, you seem like such a gentleman and well rounded man! Your reviews are excellent and you are very articulate and disciplined. You have the qualities a fine young woman would appreciate! I hope you truly believe that and work on displaying that self confidence in finding that special someone
Where was the fish on the plate
with wasabi and curry?
Wasabi ice cream!!! Wow!
By the way you were in France and in a Michelin starred restaurant. You don't need to tip, the service is included in the bill you can see it at the bottom there's should be a line "Service inclus" usually it's from 10% or 15% mandatory since 1987. No tipping necessary.
Don't try to be an Asian and Italian restaurant – unless you know how to cook pasta al dente. The water thing is typical. Half a slice is bread is disappointing. The food did look very good and price is great!!
Very enjoyable
James.

I remember when James would do reviews of affordable eats. Don't get me wrong I enjoy this but you have to go back to what got you here.
Hi James 👋🏻 well, this was interesting. The food looked ok. Not my thing really but the video was good. Hope you are feeling better now . Keep them coming.
Perhaps a fast food place to save a bit of 💵 money
the narration is genuine as always.good work James
Al dante or underdone? Any Italians wanna solve this 😂
Bonjour James…enjoy your trip
Thank you James for sharing the Paris trip with this great restaurant.
As a vegetarian, there is no way around having to research these places to the same extent as you did in Tokyo, Paris in particular is really not great at catering for veggies. Fortunately, I really enjoy the research too – I think you've mentioned in the past that you do too. It does impact spontaneity a bit but I'd rather that than get to a restaurant and be told they can't cater for me. By the way, the -s in jus isn't pronounced so it's more like ju than the juice you were saying!
Were the dishes served hot? These beautifully plated plates always look very appealing. However, by the time the kitchen has arranged the food with tweezers, it is usually cold. It’s a common fault in so called modern fine dining restaurants
That's a very luxurious price.😅
Thank you, James. Sorry I am late. I could not watch the post immediately. Thanks for the honest review. I think you are being responsible with your reviews I appreciate reviews that list the good and bad with reasonable observations. I have learned that people who say everything they see is "Great and Wonderful" have NO DISCERNMENT and are insincere. Have a great day and thank you for your work.
I dunno how hype works, but I hyped your video. Nice that you’re traveling. I so miss Paris and the charm of wandering around the different areas. I’d happily watch any walks around town that you’d care to share. Your menu was very nice! I like carrot soup. So easy to make, yet I haven’t done it in a while. I must add it to my lent menu. The dishes looked nicely portioned . I really loved the look of most of them. The fish looked like cod with those big flakes. Wow on the suckling pig. Glad that you enjoyed even though they had a few bumps. Cheers!
