Starting the morning with breakfast at the George V. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful view, which made the morning even more memorable. The food was good nothing to complain about. The service was very attentive and welcoming, and everything felt so relaxing. It's definitely one of those moments in Paris that makes the trip even more unforgettable read more

exploring the city of Paris once again and this time i am travelling alone. I was determined to explore and experience as much as I could for a week. I came across Cafe George V during my Morning walk by Champ Elysees and decided to dine in for brunch. The servers were all so welcoming with bright smiles in the morning. I was seated quite immediately and was offered a menu. My server explained the menu and I elected to order the breakfast package of hot coco with freshly squeezed orange juice with freshly baked croissants and toast with butter and jam on the side and ham and cheese omelet with fresh salad on the side. my orders were serve on a timely manner and it was all so good and perfect. The price wasn't so bad either and it was affordable. I enjoyed my time and I won't hesitate to dine here again for next time. Highly recommend! read more

Came into Café George when doing some shopping in the area cause you know how shopping makes one hungry. I did look pretty packed at first but we were able to get a table no problem. Once seated we looked over the menu. I noticed at first that all drinks were pretty pricey which makes sense for the area it is in. Food prices were not as bad but still higher then most. I will say they really have a little bit of everything on the menu. For sure was not expecting to see pizza but it was a touristy area so I get it. I went with the Ham and Cheese Crepe since we had been talking about getting one but hadn't seen it. Our food same out shortly and wow they really load the crepe up with cheese and it came out real hot too which I like and of course they had some of their amazing mustard on the table which was nice and spicy. I will say the crepe itself was thicker then I expected it to be and didn't have that much flavor to it either and not much ham but again the melty large about of cheese here really saved it for me. Ashley got the French Onion Soup which I got to try and it was actually the best I had on this trip. For sure the rich beef broth you look for in a good French Onion Soup. read more

I popped in to get boeuf bourguignon to go - not expecting much but it turned out to be excellent ! Wow. Very tender! The waiter was also very caring and considerate - making sure I have bread, utensils, napkins, etc. read more

When I'm in Paris, I make it a point to stop at Café George five at least once. The wait staff are super friendly and they have an English menu for us Non-French speaking visitors. I love sitting outside and watching the people go up and down while eating. They make the best French onion soup which of course here in France is only called onion soup. If you need a snack or a whole meal, this is a great place to go. read more

Très mauvaise expérience. Le personnel a été extrêmement impoli et nous a traités avec un profond manque de respect dès notre arrivée. Mon ami Lonche (qui est pourtant une personnalité connue) a été particulièrement mal traité, sans aucune raison valable. L'attitude du staff était clairement discriminatoire et totalement inacceptable. Le service client est catastrophique : aucun professionnalisme, aucun effort pour être accueillant, et une ambiance très désagréable. Nous nous sommes sentis jugés et non désirés, ce qui n'a rien à faire dans un établissement censé accueillir le public. Je ne recommande absolument pas ce café. Si je pouvais mettre 0 étoile, je le ferais sans hésiter. read more

Le 09/01/2026 vers 16h20, je me suis rendu au café-restaurant LE GEORGE V, situé 120 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris (table 46). Nous avons consommé uniquement : - 1 café latte - 1 thé à la menthe - 1 pâtisserie (" douceur du jour ") Le serveur a présenté une première note (ticket n°107) d'un montant total de 50,50 €, comprenant plusieurs articles que nous n'avons ni commandés ni consommés (ex. cappuccino, chocolat, camomille), ainsi qu'une ligne vague " divers brasserie ". Après contestation, une seconde note (ticket n°108) de 32,50 € nous a été présentée, mais sans aucun détail, seulement " 1 consommation ", ce qui ne permet pas de vérifier les produits réellement facturés. J'ai demandé à parler à un responsable ; cela a d'abord été refusé. Le comportement du personnel est devenu agressif et intimidant, et nous avons dû quitter les lieux. L'incident a fortement choqué ma compagne. Je signale ces faits pour surfacturation, facturation de produits non consommés, absence de facture détaillée conforme et comportement intimidant. On 01/09/2026 at approximately 4:20 PM, I went to the café-restaurant LE GEORGE V, located at 120 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris (table 46). We consumed only: * 1 café latte * 1 mint tea * 1 pastry ("pastry of the day") The server first presented a bill (receipt no. 107) for a total amount of €50.50, which included several items that we neither ordered nor consumed (e.g. cappuccino, hot chocolate, chamomile tea), as well as a vague line item labeled "miscellaneous brasserie." After disputing this bill, a second receipt (receipt no. 108) for €32.50 was presented to us, but without any itemization, showing only "1 consumption," making it impossible to verify what products were actually charged. I asked to speak with a manager; this was initially refused. The behavior of the staff then became aggressive and intimidating, and we were forced to leave the premises. The incident deeply upset my partner. I am reporting these facts for overcharging, billing for items not consumed, failure to provide a compliant detailed invoice, and intimidating behavior. read more

Messed up our drink order. Ham and cheese sandwich was one slice of ham and one slice of cheese on baguette. The steak was chewy. The fries were decent. Agree with the pressure to tip that others mention. read more

A special place with great energy and kind staff. Le George V provides a smart amount of care from each of their staff members and with a smile. Many might overlook this spot because it's directly on Champs Èlysèes but you must give this restaurant and try. The portions are large and the Croque Monsieur extremely wonderful. They also have a seasonal cocktail that is wonderful so ask for this and try it blindly as they are always very very good. The energy of this place is true Parisian cafe culture and the quintessential ambiance for your trip to Paris. I prefer this for a final meal before heading to the airports or boarding the metro and I suggest you make it part of your Paris story while visiting next. read more

They definitely judge you by the moment you walk in if you don't look rich and you're not ready to be scanned by their prices, they won't be friendly to you. Horrible food, horrible service, horrible ambience. Definitivamente te juzgan por el momento en que entras, si no pareces rico y no estás listo para ser escaneado por sus precios, no serán amigables contigo. Comida horrible, servicio horrible, ambiente horrible. read more

Not a good dining experience. We went here over the weekend in July during the afternoon. The food was mid, but what ruined our experience were two things. First, the waiter asked whether we wanted to tip 10% or 20%, which we found odd considering tipping is more optional in France and normally the customer gets to choose how much they'd like to tip based on the service, not the other way around. We verbally authorized a 10% tip, but when we later looked at the final receipt it showed a 20% tip. By the time we noticed, it was too late as we had left already - a fault on our part. But the waiter was holding the card machine the entire time and didn't show us the screen - another red flag. Second, they usually serve small dishes of complimentary olives before ordering food. Both tables next to us received this dish, but our table did not. Don't know if race played a factor (we aren't Caucasian) or if our waiter forgot. All three tables including ours were seated and served by the same waiter around the same time, BTW. read more

This place is racial profiling from the moment you stepped inside the building. They will discriminate and reject service if you are not white skin. I don't recommend read more

Horrible breakfast. Service was just ok but they ask Americans for a tip! Just Americans!

Great French food with a beautiful view of the Arc De Triomphe. Wonderful service that was very friendly, attentive, and happy to give suggestions and answer questions. Very reasonably priced and did not leave hungry. I tried the steak tartar and loved it! Plus the best crème brulee I've ever had!

I walked in just wanting a simple coffee and crepe, but instead I got one of the most bizarrely rude experiences I've ever had in a café. All the servers were standing outside watching me walk in, yet not one of them bothered to say a word. I sat there for over 10 minutes while staff repeatedly walked past me like I was invisible. When I finally asked for a menu, an older man snapped, "You're not with me," as if I'd somehow made a mistake by... sitting down in an empty café? The attitude was unreal. If you enjoy being ignored, confused, and spoken to like an inconvenience, this is your place. Otherwise, save yourself the time--plenty of cafés in Paris actually welcome their customers. read more

Café George V has a lot going for it, along with an over abundance of surly servers who will leave you non-plus. We had our Concierge call ahead to make reservations. When we arrived, we were shown to a few tiny tables near the front for our party of six. Fortunately, our French relatives picked up on the slight and explained things to them in a friendly, colloquial French sort of way. We were then reseated in the back. The food here isn't bad (photos). Our group ordered everything from Steak Tartare, to Duck, to grilled steak, to Croque Monsieur and Madame. All were very good. But when we went to order dessert, our server decided he only wanted to show the Dessert Tray to one end of our long table. Again our relatives intervened in French. LOL. Ahh, to be in Paris. The food is Four Stars, but the service is barely Two; so you decide if it's worth the merde. read more

I stopped in here while strolling the Champs-Élysées way back in 2011. Was touring Paris with my mother and brother during the holiday season and the restaurant happened to have an open table to seat us even though it was very busy. From what I can recall, I believe I had a hotdog with fries (a very bougie hotdog on a baguette, I might add), and my mom had a salad. Couldn't tell you what my brother ordered. Our waiter was very kind and it was just so great to sit and people watch since the Champs-Élysées is so active. Amazingly, I even got a small print of the Champs-Élysées with the Arc de Triomphe in the background, and Café George happened to be featured in it. So I'll always have the memory of dining there. read more

Great location on the Main Street of Champs Elyses, right across from Louise Vuitton. After being treated badly from Washington Poste, this was great service.

They take advantage of tourists. I ordered a glass of wine that the waiter suggested. Didn't think to ask the price as wine is usually fairly priced in Paris. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was €27. And it wasn't even that good. Prove check everything before you order. read more

The waiter is very rude. Our family of four sat inside left side by our initial waiter. We sat for five minutes looking at the menu. An older waiter, rudely demanded us to move said our table was reserved. There was no indication of reserved seating. The restaurant was not too busy and was at the correct lunch time around 1pm on a Monday 12/23/25. We were rushed to order, to eat and billed us immediately after we finish eating. My daughter was not even finished her salad and the waiter took her p!ate away! Not my first time in Paris. Everywhere I've been people are super nice. Now I know why some say the French are snobby. Food was mid. Terrible service, DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Is George touristy? Yes. Is George overpriced? Yes. Do I come here almost every time I visit this area? Yes. Why? The people watching is exceptional. Also, the waiters aren't as bad as you will find elsewhere. They don't rush you, either. I guess I basically come here for the nostalgia of it all. Hope you do, too. read more

The food was horrible and the service is terrible. they kicked me out because I complained

Although this is a tourist trap as it's located right next to the Arc de Triomphe on Champs Elysees street, they do provide good service and good food. As it's convenient for most tourists who are visiting Arc de Triomphe that want to sample some french foods and don't want to pay the prices from the cafe across the street, this is a good place to get most of classic French food such as lamb, escargots, boeuf bourguignon, pastas and french fries. We came for their breakfast. I had a satisfying chocolate drink and a delicious salmon crepe. Both of these are very French. I just regretted that I didn't have a chance to have breakfast at Angelina Paris that has the world renown creamy hot chocolate. Maybe next time. My friend got their omelette and he was very satisfied with his meal. The prices were reasonable especially with the strong dollars. Our service Andre provided us very good service and showed us how to get to Chanel store for shopping duty. read more

It always frustrates me when I am so hungry I forget to take pics until it's too late! This was one of those situations. So Cafe George V is on the main street and where all the tourists are lurking. You assume that because it's tourist central, everything will be overpriced, gross and crowded. I was pleasantly surprised to find this place reasonably priced, good and reasonably crowded. I also think a bit of context matters when you eat at a restaurant like this...meaning, do you really expect it to be NOT crowded? The food was tasty, decent priced, and good portions. I had a ground steak (basically a hamburger) with egg and fries. It definitely needed salt, but was cooked well and portioned well. The rest of the family ordered and were all happy with the meals. Seating was tight as we were sitting in the very back of the restaurant and couldn't get out without people moving chairs. But not a big deal. The wait staff was friendly. The ambiance was nice. The restrooms definitely needed a cleaning. Overall, I can't complain. This place was a great choice for a quick dinner before a long walk on Champs de Elysse. Happy we tried it! read more

Is it possible to find a bad meal in Paris? Not on our trip. We chose Cafe George V because of its location, in the heart of the French fashion district. The Champs Elysees was bursting with traffic and people bustling about, so naturally we chose curbside dining. Like all the Paris restaurants we visited, English is spoken. We can't get enough escargot or onion soup, so they preceded our dinners of steak tartare and boeuf bouguingnon. A cheese platter and dessert rounded out the meal. Every dish was well prepared and flavorful. We had a wonderful time! read more

The onion soup was very tasty, I give it a solid 4. There was less broth overall than I would like, but it had great flavor. Best I have had so far this trip, this is the 3rd I've had. The club poulet left a bit to be desired for me. It came out presented well, but the chicken isn't freshly cooked so that is a non- starter for me. The salad was ok. Lettuce looked fresh but I didn't love the dressing. It was good enough, but not great. The hot chocolate was yummy. When I go next time I am going to try the crepes. My friend had the mushroom and cheese crepe and said it was very good. read more

Loved everything about this charming little spot. We stumbled in looking for a bite to eat after shopping and I'm so glad we found Cafe George V. Ordered a bottle of Bordeaux and a salted ham and cheese crepe which comes with a yummy side of mixed greens. The ambiance is perfect as they have the option to sit outside (it's heated) or inside. Service was stellar and I'm very happy overall! read more

Cafe George V is located on Champs Elysées and it is a great place to stop by for a bite to eat. We were there around 7:30 pm and the place was super busy. Our server, Laurent, was super friendly and accommodating. He moved us to a table next up front because we wanted watch to people watch while eating. We had Irish coffee and wine, followed by vegetable and onion soup. Both were delicious. The price is a bit on the high side but when you compare to other restaurants is Paris it is comparable and when you put its location on perspective, the price is fair. Note: they do not take reservations. read more

This was a great spot for lunch on the Champs-Elysees. We really overthought it and walked a ton looking at all the menus on every cafe. We wished we had just stopped at Cafe George V from the start. Their menu had a good selection, and the prices were reasonable. As it was raining, we opted for an indoor table. It was cozy and warm inside, and service was excellent. We enjoyed a bottle of wine, escargot (my starter), French onion soup (my husband's started), and a croque monsieur (shared). It was the perfect amount of food, and everything was really good! They also brought a large basket of bread, which is a must for dipping for the escargot and the soup. Was it the absolute best French meal I ever had? No...but it was really solid, especially for lunch. And the Dijon mustard on the table was the BEST mustard I have ever eaten. I wish I had asked what brand it was. I ate it on everything!! I'm still thinking about it. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for typical French food. A lot of the other cafes in that area are much more expensive, or had terrible reviews. read more

Food less than good and service from our server, embarrassing to call French service. Truly the most disappointing experience since being in France for 10 days. The prices, the quality all just contributed to a woeful lunch. Run from this place. I only wish the owner or manager were available. Yuck rhymes with another word...it should be called Cafe Yuck! Oh, the ambiance fools you thinking it's good. Try the bathrooms, filthy. read more

Probably a tourist trap as the other mentioned - we figured this was the equivalent of a diner to the French.

It was all good! read more

Awful food. Asked if we wanted to leave 10 or 20 percent at the end of a terrible meal -- as if zero wasn't an option. Very expensive for a meal half as well done as McDonald's! read more

To the tourist, please be careful ordering, your server will tell you, that they have special and will entice you to order it and when you are distracted, you will forget to to ask the price. The price is not listed then you will get the bill and will be surprised that the special is overpriced. Your server will also ask you on the spot for tips. He say, if you like my service, would you tip me and will only give you two choices to click, 10 percent and 20 percents. You would be pressure on the spot. Please be careful. My fish was 56$ and very overpriced! I wish we read the reviews but we wer already tired walking so I didnt bother to check read more

Visit Benjamin at George V if you're ever in Paris. This review is only for Benjamin's excellent service and the desserts. He is the best waiter and is very knowledgeable about the menu. Benjamin was attending to 10 other tables, but made us feel as we were his only customers. All with a smile a few jokes! He was very attentive and quickly served us our food and drinks. We visited the restaurant for drinks and crepes, however Benjamin brought the dessert platter to us and explained the items with great detail, we changed our minds and ordered the praline chocolate mousse and strawberry tart. All were delicious! I know this restaurant is located in a busy tourist area, but his service and the desserts could rival any five restaurant. Thank you Benjamin! read more

Walking along the Champs Elysées on a Sunday afternoon, we were ready for some coffee and dessert. As it was a nice day, most places were sold out for outside seating, George V was no exception & they were busy. We took a table inside close to the front of the restaurant. Cappuccino was strong and nicely balanced between espresso and milk. Crepes were also ordered. We enjoyed the Nutella/Banana but the Grand Mariner Crepe sounded better than reality. It was a Crepe with a sprinkle of the Liqueur (wouldn't order again). This flavor is better with Nutella mixed with Grand Mariner as I've had in other spots. That said the Chocolate Opera Cake was amazing! Rich layers of chocolate and very light cake. Our server was attentive and friendly and took good care of us. Saw some other tables that were having lunch-salad, sandwiches which looked good. Great spot for coffee and dessert accompanied with a loud and upbeat atmosphere. read more

An embarrassment to French Cuisine. Bavette was such poor quality, it was too tough even though we had it medium rare. Plus, the bread for the table was so stale and tough, it made me appreciate the steak more. The server we had was friendly and all, but when I told him that the steak was tough, all he said was ,"It's a classique" and shrugged. I guess he loves his steak like rubber. Béarnaise was definitely not made fresh. It had the texture of a lumpy, congealed scrambled egg. Fries were as soggy as a wet sock. Ambience looked great. Just wondering if George V had a strong jaw for rubbery Bavette. Wish I had pictures, just didn't want to waste my storage with shitty food pictures. In other words, don't come here. read more

I should have read the reviews especially Karen's review 2 months ago. The same exact thing happened to me. I ordered the salmon off the menu and the waiter insisted the special of the day a white fish is so so much better. I should have caught on when the waiter was trying to tell my wife the special steak is from France and so much better then the one is was ordering but at least she stood her ground and stuck with the steak from the menu so tourist beware not to get the special unless you ask how much it cost. My salmon would have been 26 euros but my white fish was 56 euros and was so small compared to the salmon I saw another lady eating and beware when asking for water cause they will sell you bottle water read more
