    A memorable experience! Go for the taster menu - £65 for 7 fantastic courses. Ceviche was particularly amazing and the grapefruit, sorbet and champagne dessert. Very knowledgable & friendly staff too

    We had the carte blanche for €65pp and it was amazing. Every dish was tasty & beautifully presented. The Chardonnay was also great; the Les Rouannieres desert wine one of the best I've had. Recommend!

    One of the best meals I had! Very busy, bit service was excellent. I would recommend reservations. We arrived early and were lucky to eat at the bar. Beautiful interiors.

    Great place for a French modern cuisine lunch as it's not too crowded and noisy. Great value of 24€ for a first and a main. Desserts are extra 11€.

    Don’t speak French? Get there at 7p and sit at the bar. A number of the servers speak English and are happy to explain the entire menu to you before it gets busy. Great food, wine, & service!

    A gourmet oasis in St Germain. A great 2 course prefix lunch for 25 euros included a trio of appetizers and a delicious fresh dorade with razor clams and chorizo paste

    Fantastic food, presentation, service and menu! The atmosphere was a mixture if quaint and chic. They were very accommodating of my gluten free request. The street is precious so walk around before.

    The fish was fantastic. Since the menu changes daily, it's impossible to suggest what to order. Just go...you won't be disappointed.

    By the team behind Cosi and Fish La Boissonerie right next door, Semilla offers inspired French food in an industrial décor. Relaxed atmosphere and very nice staff.

    Went hoping for the taster menu I saw recommended on Foursquare, but they said they didn't have one. Perhaps it's seasonal? In general the food was good—not amazing, but very good.

    The key to good food is ingredients not plate design. Unfortunately the food was tasteless. The menu was in French, but at the bottom a note to patrons stating “not to forget payment” was in English.
