Le Confidentiel is located in the centre of Paris, a few minutes from Champs Elysee. It provides a unique halal fine dining experience that combines classic French elegance with robust Mediterranean flavours. The restaurant is notable not just for its great meals but also for its intimate and stylish atmosphere, making it a one-of-a-kind location for both formal and informal dining.

Le Confientiel Experience

I was suggested by a few folks and noticed this location while browsing halal restaurants in Paris for a few days. I had a couple of hours to look for a spot to dine. As a result, I took the metro to the Arc de Triomphe near this restaurant. This location is secluded, thus it is easy to miss. When I discovered the sign, I decided to stay for dinner. It was busy, but not as much as when it opened for the day, around 7 p.m., and it opened at 6:30 p.m.

Everything on the menu was halal, so there were lots of options. They offer an English or French menu, whichever you like. Once decided, the staff will come over and take your order. I didn't go overboard, so I only ordered the Lamb Shank and a mocktail. The rooms are exquisite, with modern and minimalist French accents. Also, the ambience is calm and quiet, with low lighting creating the ideal setting for a relaxing dinner and experience.

As usual, the mocktail arrived first. Then I waited around 15-20 minutes for the Lamb Shank to arrive.

Le Confientiel Menu

The menu is a short list of options, so you can't go wrong. You can select between starters, main courses, drinks, and desserts. However, the price is on the expensive side, so if you're on a tight budget, you'll need to choose carefully.

The Melting Lamb Shank €29

The Melting Lamb Shank was wonderful, highly recommended, and very appealing. This was really tender meat and sensational. As you chop into the meat, it gently slips off. Also, the presentation was visually appealing. This lamb shank was better than the others I've had.

They supplied complementary Potato Dauphinois that comes with soft and creamy mashed potatoes and bread on the side. That was more than enough to satisfy me.

Le Confidentiel Mocktail €11

There were lots of drink options available, but I decided to be creative and try something different. Therefore, I had the Le Confidentiel drink, which contained the following:

Strawberry puree, mango, pineapple, milk, sugar cane

It tasted mostly of strawberries and other fruits, which wasn't too bad.

Conclusion

Food: 9 out of 10
Service: 8 out of 10
Price: 7 out of 10
Experience: 10 out of 10
Presentation: 10 out of 10

Overall: I’ve given Le Confidentiel an 8.8 out of 10.

To summarise, Le Confidentiel is more than just wonderful meals; it is also about making lasting memories with each visit. Whether you're a foodie looking for your next culinary adventure or someone looking for a quiet place to unwind and enjoy fine dining, this restaurant guarantees a pleasant and immersive experience.

The Lamb Shank was fairly delicious; I enjoyed it and finished it all. They served potato dauphinois on the side with this meal, which was satisfactory. The service here is good because you are not interrupted unless you require something. The price, however, is costly because of the high-end eating experience.

Nonetheless, I found the experience and presentation to be positive. The lamb shank looked delicious, and the drink was very enjoyable. Also, when you receive your bill, staff will ask if you want to pay a service charge. As with other locations I've been to, service costs are not optional and are simply added. These guys at Le Confidentiel were friendly, respectful, and all Muslim.
