Restaurant in Paris, France
Solid mid-range pick, not a grand room.
A Michelin Plate modern cuisine address in Paris's 10th arrondissement, Dante delivers technically focused cooking at a €€ price point that most comparable rooms cannot match. With a 4.6 Google score and consistent Opinionated About Dining recognition, it is the right booking when you want food-first dining without the grand room price tag or the three-hour tasting menu commitment.
The most common mistake visitors make with Dante is assuming it sits in the same tier as Paris's grand dining rooms. It does not, and that is precisely why it is worth considering. At the €€ price range, this is one of the more accessible modern cuisine addresses in the 10th arrondissement, holding a Michelin Plate (2025) and a Google rating of 4.6 across 288 reviews. If you are looking for technically focused modern cooking without the three-hour tasting menu commitment or the €€€€ bill, Dante is a credible answer.
Rue de Paradis sits in the 10th arrondissement, a neighbourhood that has accumulated a serious density of good restaurants over the past decade without the premium pricing of the 6th or 8th. Dante fits that context: the address signals considered cooking rather than occasion dining, and the price point confirms it. The Michelin Plate recognition in 2025 means the guide's inspectors found the food worth noting, even if not worth a star — a meaningful distinction that separates it from the neighbourhood's many forgettable bistros.
Chef Dante Boccuzzi gives the kitchen a clear identity. The modern cuisine framing covers a lot of ground in Paris, where the term can mean anything from neo-bistro plates to technically ambitious tasting menus. What the Opinionated About Dining rankings tell you is that Dante has been consistently recognised in the casual-format tier: ranked #124 in 2023, #179 in 2024, and #356 in 2025 in OAD's Casual North America list — though the venue is Paris-based, the cross-border tracking signals a kitchen with enough profile to attract international food-focused diners. The trend in the rankings is worth noting: the drop from #124 to #356 over two years suggests either increased competition in the category or a plateau in critical momentum. That does not make it a bad booking, but it does mean you should arrive with calibrated expectations rather than assuming it is at its peak visibility.
For a special occasion at this price range, Dante offers something that the grander rooms in Paris cannot: an environment where the cooking is the focus rather than the ceremony. If you are planning a celebration dinner and your priority is food quality over silver service and theatrical trolleys, the value calculation here is direct. A €€ bill with Michelin Plate recognition puts you in a relatively small group of Paris restaurants where technique and price intersect usefully. Compare that to a dinner at [Le Cinq - Four Seasons Hôtel George V](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/le-cinq-four-seasons-hotel-george-v) or [L'Ambroisie](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/lambroisie), where you are paying substantially more and the experience is as much about the room and the ritual as the plate itself.
The visual register of the 10th arrondissement matters here too. Rue de Paradis is known for its ceramics and glass trade history, and the street retains an architectural character that is more industrial-chic than grand boulevard. Arriving at Dante, you are walking into a neighbourhood that has earned its dining reputation through quality rather than postcode prestige. That context shapes the experience: this is not a room designed to impress a client with a corner table and a wine list the size of a novel. It is a room where the plate is the point.
For Paris visitors who want to understand how modern French cuisine operates outside the starred and heritage establishments, Dante is a useful data point. The broader Paris dining ecosystem offers everything from the rigorous classicism of [Paul Bocuse - L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/paul-bocuse-lauberge-du-pont-de-collonges-collonges-au-mont-dor-restaurant) to the experimental precision of [Pierre Gagnaire](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/pierre-gagnaire), but both of those involve significantly higher spend and advance planning. Dante sits at a different access point: achievable on a moderate budget, bookable without months of lead time, and technically credible enough to satisfy a food-focused diner.
If you are building a Paris itinerary around eating well without a series of €€€€ commitments, Dante belongs on the shortlist alongside addresses like [Accents Table Bourse](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/accents-table-bourse-paris-restaurant) and [Anona](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/anona-paris-restaurant), both of which operate in similar territory. For a longer trip that includes regional French dining, the country's most serious modern kitchens , [Mirazur in Menton](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/mirazur-menton-restaurant), [Troisgros - Le Bois sans Feuilles](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/troisgros-le-bois-sans-feuilles-ouches-restaurant), [Flocons de Sel in Megève](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/flocons-de-sel-megve-restaurant) , operate at a different level entirely, but Dante functions well as a Paris-based anchor for the cuisine-focused traveller who does not want every dinner to be a three-hour production.
The bottom line: book Dante when you want a Michelin-acknowledged modern meal in central Paris without the grand dining room price tag. Do not book it expecting the tasting menu experience or the service depth of the 8th arrondissement institutions. At €€, with a 4.6 Google score and consistent OAD recognition, it delivers more than its price suggests , which, in Paris, is not something you can say about most addresses.

What to weigh when choosing between Dante and alternatives.
The venue database does not include confirmed group booking policies or private dining capacity for Dante. Given its location at 14 Rue de Paradis and its €€ price point, it likely operates as a mid-sized neighbourhood restaurant rather than an event space. check the venue's official channels before planning a group of six or more, and have a backup option ready.
At €€, Dante sits comfortably in the moderate bracket, and a Michelin Plate recognition in 2025 suggests the kitchen is operating above casual neighbourhood standards. For that price tier in Paris, it competes well. If you want a more financially forgiving entry into serious Paris cooking, this is a credible option.
Dante is a modern cuisine restaurant in Paris's 10th arrondissement, recognised by the Michelin Guide with a Plate in 2025 and ranked by Opinionated About Dining. It is not a grand Parisian dining room, and first-timers should book with that framing in mind: this is a neighbourhood-rooted modern kitchen, not a formal occasion restaurant.
Specific menu items are not available in the venue data, so no dish recommendations can be made here. The cuisine type is listed as Modern Cuisine under chef Dante Boccuzzi. Checking the restaurant's current menu before visiting will give you a clearer picture of what the kitchen is running.
Tasting menu details, including format and pricing, are not documented in the venue data. Given the €€ price range, any tasting menu offered would likely remain accessible relative to Paris's grander rooms. Confirm availability and pricing directly with the restaurant before committing.
Dante holds a Michelin Plate (2025) and has appeared in Opinionated About Dining rankings, which gives it enough credibility for a mid-tier special occasion dinner. It is better suited to a low-key celebration than a landmark anniversary. For something with more ceremonial weight, restaurants like L'Ambroisie or Le Cinq would be the stronger call.
For a step up in formality and prestige, Le Cinq at the Four Seasons George V or L'Ambroisie deliver Paris's grand dining experience at a significantly higher price. Kei offers French-Japanese modern cuisine with Michelin recognition at a comparable or slightly higher price tier. If you want to stay in the same accessible bracket, Paris's 10th arrondissement has other well-regarded modern kitchens worth exploring.
