Duc des Lombards

We booked the concert and single drink option ... Probably a good idea, as the food looked pretty 'meh'. The music on the other hand was simply awesome. This place is about jazz! The venue was perfect; great sound, amazing ambiance.

We saw the Alex Tassel Quartet. The music was excellent and the venue had a very pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. The friendly waiters walk around with smiles on their faces and are always happy to help. The only down side is that it's slightly on the expensive side – €30 just for the ticket, and the drinks are quite pricey – but all in all it's worth it.

Recent visit to see Alex Terrier European Quintet; paid € 80 for the full food & jazz package as special treat for boyfriends birthday. Went to 7:30 show on a Saturday--reservations in advance recommended, as it is small place. Seating is first come-first serve (they open at 7) and a line started forming around 6:35 We were second couple in line and got center table with outstanding view of stage. Tables are small, but our waiter was excellent and maneuvered the space well (he also spoke fluent English). We had glass of champagne, had options between 3 appetizers, had 4-5 options for entree and 3 choices for dessert. All served (pretty skillfully considering the space) over the course of the show along with bottle of either red or white wine (2+ glasses each). Food is OK--everything served in glass ramekin style bowls which leads me to believe this is limited cooking going on in kitchen. I would not go here because of the food. The really great thing about this place is the music and intimate setting--we were about 12 feet from the lead musician Alex Terrier and had great visuals of all musicians. My boyfriend is musician and thought it was a great intimate space and he loved the show.There was mishap due to a patron who came late and sat in front row, throwing her cape behind her and knocking water & wine over on the table directly behind her (she was totally rude), but the staff quickly scrambled to pick up broken glass, wipe the floor, and dry off the soaked customer. They re-served the unfortunate 2nd row--very quick, efficient and responsive. If I were to go again, I would probably have dinner before or after show and have wine and lighter fare here--more reasonable cost, and still a great experience. This show had mixed ages: couple with young son (maybe 7-8 year) and ages from 40 -
