Why go
A discreet 16th-arrondissement address with weekday lunch and six-night dinner service, 116 occupies a residential corner two blocks from Avenue Foch. The small dining room and unadorned name suggest a neighborhood regular's haunt, but sparse public data; no menu, no chef name, no awards; makes it difficult to recommend over better-documented peers like Pages or L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon - Étoile.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
116 positions itself within the 16th arrondissement’s restrained register: quieter and more resident-focused than the tourist-heavy central districts. The room favors understatement over spectacle, pairing modern, trend-forward design impulses with a sophisticated, elegant service posture. The kitchen emphasizes provenance and seasonality rather than theatrical plating, so the overall impression is refined and quietly confident rather than showy. Diners who appreciate considered sourcing, tightly constructed plates and a polished but unflashy dining experience will find the tone here aligned with Paris’s best new addresses that prioritize terroir and discipline.
Best For
116 suits evenings when quality and provenance matter: think dinner dates, business meals and special nights out where a polished, serious meal is the point. The venue’s quieter 16th‑arrondissement setting and resident-friendly rhythm also make it a reliable option for regulars and groups who want thoughtful, well-sourced plates without tourist spectacle. It can also work as an after‑work stop or casual hangout when you’re looking for something a step above a typical neighborhood bistro—an occasion where attention to ingredients and a composed dining room are part of the appeal.
Ordering Tips
The kitchen at 116 foregrounds sourcing and seasonality, so lean into dishes that highlight provenance and the restaurant’s ingredient-first approach. Ask servers about what’s in season and how plates are sourced; the menu rewards choices that showcase garden-driven or terroir-led ingredients. From the venue’s signature offerings, consider sharing the Wagyu Burger and the Poulet Karaage alongside vegetable-accented plates like the Shiitake Sautés, and sample the Donburi or Salmon Teriyaki to taste the kitchen’s handling of umami and technique.

Restaurant context
Without a stated cuisine type, price tier, or awards, 116 sits in an awkward competitive position. L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon - Étoile delivers Michelin-backed French technique with counter seating and a published menu, making it the safer choice for a first visit. Pages operates at €€€€ with modern French ambition and stronger editorial recognition, while Le Drugstore offers a livelier scene if you want brasserie energy over quiet intimacy. Casa Luca and OMA round out the 16th-arrondissement options with clearer identities and easier-to-verify quality.
If you live in the neighborhood or work near Trocadéro, 116 may serve as a reliable Tuesday-night fallback when the marquee names are booked. For visitors allocating limited Paris dinners, however, the absence of menu transparency, chef biography, or critical validation makes it hard to justify over documented peers. Book Pages first; return to 116 on a second trip if you're curious about the address and have already exhausted the more established options.
