Lili - Paris 16e Arrondissement

We went there for dinner for my wife’s birthday. We both had the 8-course set menu. I had booked through the restaurant’s website and noted it was my wife’s birthday. We enjoyed the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant very much. We had reservations for...9 pm and it was quite lively. The first four courses were all delicious and perfect. Then something happened. A beef course was served immediately after the first Peking Duck. It was very heavy and served literally one minute after the Peking Duck had been cleared. We were then served noodles. The second Peking Duck serving was essentially a “mini taco.” It could hardly be described as worthy of being called a separate course and was indeed served alongside the noodles. This is not how the eight course menu is described on their website. The timing of the various servings was appropriate for the first half and was then hurried. There were some other flaws. Our hot towels were not removed from the table until well into our meal. Wine service was fine but they had a difficult time keeping up with serving sparkling water. And there was no recognition of my wife’s birthday. Not a big deal but I had seen they had done something on other reviews. We had a nice evening there but it was not perfect by any means. The second half of the set menu was odd and it appeared at times that the serving staff was simply overwhelmed. The decor and atmosphere was five star, however.

I mean we had a set menu because we were a large group and the food was AMAZING!! The lady who hosted our table was so lovely and professional. Hats off to the chef the manager and the staff. The hotel that it’s located in...is phenomenal. Great great place

Every moment in this place is magical. The cuisine is perfect and the concept of sharing dishes from Chinese culture makes the moment even more wonderful because it allows you to taste a multitude of dishes. The room is beautiful, the service is rather discreet and the wine card is sought.Mrite a star.Bravo

We went there several months ago to test the Pekinese duck in 2 services and we had left the service a little disappointed. a real say we are accustomed to a large starred Chinese restaurant that makes my sense the best pekinian betting duck. We could expect it a little too much.Brussel we decided to reiterate the experience and leave a chance to the lily to reveal all the splendour of a Peninsula.Here are my comments:the cut:- the duck was present to us in full with the visible head (it's a choice but we prefer it to be masked by a towel)- during the cut of the duck we almost saw nothing. as the tables are close enough and there were customers all around us, the people who have been able to see the cut are the customers on the tables that give on the service path. the first service: positive point- we found very interesting to have different cuts in the plate (crusting skin and pieces with skin flesh)- the duck alone was very good- the variety of vegetables proposed to put in the pan was very interesting negative:- the big black point for me was the pancakes. crêpes are simple crêpe à la française (version petit format). I know that this kind of crepes doesn't exist. Maybe the restaurant wanted to adapt to the French taste? if this is the case in my sense there is an inconsistency with the positioning of the restaurant. In short to come back to the pancakes, I would say they were really not very good. - the duck sauce was interesting but we knew better it's really bad because the sauce and pancakes are so important in the first service that if everything is not perfect, the duck taste is spoiled. I ended up eating the duck only second service:- very good surprise! The duck crunch was really great and we had a rice for accompanied that was perfect. Fortunately we did not finish on a good note ):ps: other points that made the difference during our meal:- service was a bit "brut. it was lacking a bit of finesse (this is not the case for other hotel restaurant/bar)- the decor is really sumptuousI hope to have been constructive. Maybe we'll try the restaurant again but choosing different dishes.

We have a couple lunch this afternoon. service very well , our jonathan server knows the map perfectly and its explanations are very clear. It is a beautiful and relaxing setting. I can't say if it's noisy we were alone in the restaurant this noon. as far as the dishes are concerned they are fabulous, it is really a faultless...
