I've probably made trips to Paris 150 times and explored lots of restaurants. Of my three or four favorites over the years Chez Andre would have to be in that list. I definitely recommend the fillet with béarnaise sauce. It's indeed a real fillet and not the standard flank type of steak you get and most French restaurants. And while we're on the subject of beef, the beef tartare which I normally would not eat- is fantastic. The service is very very good and atmosphere is a step above bistro type. Prices are very good with the steak being about the most expensive thing on the menu coming in at about €32. The location is centrally located. It's just a short walk off of Champs Élysées near the Arc de Triomphe.I will add that the house wines are good and quite reasonably priced. Enjoy your meal! read more

We went here last night. The waiters are all very nice and know English. The service could've been better, though. We had a hamburger, pâté, and the children's beef meal. The children's meal was called a hamburger but didn't come with bread, so it was just beef, and we ordered mashed potatoes but it came with french fries. The hamburger was the best I've had in Europe and the pâté was dry but good! We also had great rich ice cream for dessert. Delicious! read more

Chez André - French Near Me - Paris, 75

We were told about this by friends. It is in a great area and the prices are ok but the food was simply boring and bland. The half chicken was no better than what one could get in a NY diner. The service was gruff and distracted. How this place keeps such a reputaion is beyond me. read more

Chez André - The bar - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Outstanding, non-tourist, Parisian cafe. Impeccable service, slow, cooked food with fresh, local ingredients. Just a few blocks off of the hustle and bustle of the Arch d'Triumph. read more

The service was okay but not overly friendly. We ordered the roast chicken and although the sauce was very nice the chicken was dry. The wine was quite good. The staff seemed very dismissive once they knew we were not drinking a lot. Although the restaurant was not at all full, we felt as if we were evening rushed along in order to flip our table. We felt it was slightly overpriced for the quality of food. read more

I've been coming here for 25 years. Never disappoints. Great neighborhood. Mostly French customers. The menu is a bit limited, but all the choices are spot on. Service is good. Our waitress was young and bubbly. We sat outside. They honored our reservation even though we were 15 min. late. The were many people waiting outside for tables. Had the duck pate ( fra grois spelling error) solid! Also had the house pate. Home made, although a bit salty. My wife had the steak au piove ( spelling) and I had the sea bass. Both excellent. The portions are American size. Actually, too big. An old stand by. We will be coming back. BTW, an Aston Martin Vanquish kept driving by and reving its engine. read more

Great prices. The escargot had a subtle taste of truffle. I had the duck breast and peaches needless to say I didn't talk during my meal as I was enjoying it way more than any other conversation being held. read more

This just goes to that a great location does not necessarily make a great restaurant. The food was absolutely putrid. I had the duck breast, which was charred to a dark brown. Disgusting. The service was typical French indifference. You're much better off splurging on a tasting menu at a starred restaurant... And it won't even cost that much more. read more

There will never be another restaurant that I go to that will compare to this place, of that I am sure. I came here with my best friend during our last night in Paris, and I practically cried after our meal because I was so sad it was over. From the first course to the last, this place was 5 stars, hands down. I want to go back to Paris just so I can come back here! read more

Wow. I can't describe in mere words how bad this experience was. The concierge at the hotel recommended it and booked it for us. They slammed us into a table that we couldn't get in or out of without literally moving the table 8 feet. Horrible service. Took them 35 minutes to take our drink order. Then one of the appetizers arrived before the wine. The other almost 10 minutes later. Over salted food. Steak tartare was filled with mustard and basically inedible. French fries tasted like old oil. Place was filled with tourists all of whom probably got the same recommendations I did. Don't bother! read more

Overrated. The lines waiting outside are a mystery. The food is bland and predictable. The service is indifferent. The host does his best to be charming. No draft beer. I think this restaurant was considered quite good in the 1980s but now it is just coasting on the reputation of the past. You can do better. There are more inventive restaurants in Paris. read more

Seven meals over 16 months at this restaurant, and never a disappointing experience. We flew over an ocean to eat here tonight and once again greatness did not disappoint. read more

The food here is very good and very traditional French. The Onion soup and Pate were both great starters and the Snails we're also very good and perfectly prepared. The duck was excellent. The atmosphere is very nice and crowded, you're arm and arm with the people sitting next to you. Service was a bit iffy though... read more

Christmas dinner at Christmas Eve. Remember to make a reservation for this evening, the restaurant was totally booked! Nice Christmas menu, nice wine. A little to loud, when it's fully booked. read more

Ahhhh. We loved it. Accommodating. Calm. Charming. Sophia Lauren in the wall. The service was superb. the manager was very helpful and especially tolerated my very poor French. The Waitresses were like French Maids--hovered over the table--made sure we had everything. The food was marvelously seasoned. the salmon was fresh. the crab and avocado was the best we had. I would return here in a heart beat. Truly Gay Paris. read more

What a disappointment! Having frequented Chez André on a regular basis during the late 1990s-early 2000s, we expected to enjoy a delicious, nostalgic meal. After all, in Paris, you are able to walk into virtually any neighborhood brasserie or bistro and discover culinary excellence in the most ordinary of dishes. However, this was not the case at Chez André on a Saturday night in April. We were corralled to the "American section," where we were handed pedestrian menus in English (in spite of our capable French). The service was poor, as there was only one waitress assigned to the entire front room, and the food was nearly inedible. From the bone-filled bouillabaisse and dry chicken to the overcooked steak and undercooked "frites," nothing looked or tasted appealing. We didn't even make it to dessert, as several people at our table vacated, in favor of a moules et frites chain restaurant on the nearby Champs Elysées (which, incidentally, was excellent). The following day, we learned from locals that there had been a change in management years ago, creating such a perceptible decline that none of them had returned to Chez André since! read more

Just a typical parisian restaurant serving average food charging tourist price. read more

Chez André - Escargot - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Very nice attentive staff that spoke enough English for us to be helpful but not so much that it was too touristy. They tried hard and were attentive. The place was very nice in appearance and in a great location. Food was average at best. Had the onion soup which was fine but lacked a lot of flavor. Had the roast chicken and it was very dry. Fries were good however but sucked up so much of the sauce for the chicken that could have been used for the chicken. Wife had scallops which were again ok but lacked that hard sear on the outside. Starter was avocado and crab which was probably the best thing we had. I won't be back but if your in the area it's a nice place that has potential so maybe try something other than the chicken (note table next to us had the same dish and said the same thing - chicken dry). They said their veal chop was very good. read more

We ate here for our 20th Anniversary dinner at the suggestion of our hotel concierge and we were not disappointed. Our waitress (I'm sorry I don't remember her name) was very attentive and spoke very good English. We were seated almost right away and our orders were prompt and delicious. My husband had the peppered steak and I had the roast chicken, both excellent choices. The tomatoes / cheese appetizer was a hit as well as the dessert. We asked for our waitress's recommendation for wine and she was spot on. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and ambiance. We had just ran a half marathon that morning so we weren't moving too quickly but we were never rushed to move on, was nice. Thank you for an amazing dinner! read more

Based on other bistros in Paris - the food here is pretty good, service was fine and the look is what you would expect. If you need space this is not the place for you. read more

Do not eat here! The wait staff is inattentive. They made substitutions to our meal without asking if that was ok. The couple that was seated after us had their order taken first, served first, and they had the same thing as use served correctly. I have never had such subpar service. read more

Great traditional French food in a great location. They did rush us to make our order. Good times.

My husband and I had dinner there on 11/21 on our first day in Paris. Their onion soup is awesome. I ordered the lamb dish and it was delicious, my husband ordered the duck (medium) but he didn't like it due to its doneness. The place looks like a traditional French bistrot, with tables very close to each other, you can't get in or out until someone pulls the table away from the row of tables. I give it 3 stars for the space. read more

If you are ever in Paris you have to eat here please the staff astounding. The food fantastic!

Like another Yelper, my first meal in Paris was at Chez André. I didn't have a reservation, but the host, who was a teeny bit gruff at first (aka Parisian), asked if I could wait for fifteen minutes, and then he would seat me. I was traveling by myself, and I suddenly had a warm feeling, like my 'dad' was looking after me. The wait was about ten minutes, and I was seated, elbow-to-elbow in their relatively small dining room. The place was hopping! Service was not terribly fast, but you could tell that they all knew what they were doing. I thought the prices were reasonable, especially considering the neighborhood. I got the traditional onion soup (omg...yum), and the chicken with frites, which was good. Not great, but good. Overall, I had a really good experience here. read more

This place is highly recommended by the hotel concierge and it didn't disappoint us. My duck was cooked to perfection and the server is very friendly and efficient. read more

I had dinner here with a colleague about 3 months ago and it was very good. We didn't have a reservation. They accommodated us but we had to be out within a hour which was fine with us given we were both jet lagged. Even though we were out within a hour, we did not feel rushed. Service and food were very good. I would go back again. read more

Bad! That's all I can say. I knew this place quite a bit from the past. Used to be good, now it is unacceptable. Even the basics fail, the meat was simply like a leather sole, the fish soup didn't taste anything like fish soup Total disappointment! read more

Unfortunately I did not enjoy my experience at Chez Andre. The food and service was okay but not good/great and not worth 81€. My wife loved her sole meunière which is the only reason I'm adding a second star (I tried it... it was okay, again not good or great). I had the leg of lamb "Allaiton de l'Aveyron" with confit coco beans which is one of their specials. I found the lamb overcooked and tough in texture. I did not finish the beans as I found it unsatisfying and too large of a portion compared to the small portion of lamb. Perhaps I came at a bad day but I won't go back for a second time. read more

Staff was very rude and unfriendly towards foreigners. Made us feel unwelcome and we left fairly quick. As if we were begging for money. Totally uncool read more

Civilized, crowded, cheerful, and authentic local experience. Close to George V and Plaza Athenee in the Eighth. We could have walked from the Meurice in the First, but a taxi is only 5 minutes. Not for the uninitiated, pretentious or insecure. Oysters, white tablecloths, Dover sole, chateaubriand steak frites. Individually owned. Could not disagree more with the haters. read more

Fantastic neighborhood bistro. We loved it. Excellent service, really good food, authentic Parisian experience. Not at all touristy. Very highly recommend for a solid, enjoyable experience from New Yorkers who are very picky. The manager Christopher cares so much and made us feel special just being there. read more

My wife and I just returned from celebrating our 30 th anniversary in Paris. This restaurant became our favorite haunt and we dined three times trying different dishes. One better then the next. The staff was incredible friendly and attentive to us. The food was suburb, and truly authentic. I wish I lived closer. read more

Busy French brasserie very close to the Champs-Élysées but with fairly reasonable prices for the location. We went on a Friday night when a reservation would have been advisable but turned out not to be necessary (probably because it was mid February). Service was rapid and helpful and the staff experienced. Starters were large so consider sharing. Bistro style main courses also substantial and well cooked. Good comfort food in a bustling atmosphere formed of an interesting mix of locals and tourists. Would recommend if looking for straight forward good French cooking in pleasant atmosphere. read more

First for a yelp fail! We travel internationally and extensively (although the 1st for Paris); the ever sought after "chateaubriand" was received within minutes and much to our surprise well done!!!! (although we ordered medi rare), the Bernaise coagulated (sitting under a heat lamp), fries that to expect to get from a fast food restaurant (cold and stale); but rather than our waitress being attentive and inquisitive of what we considered (medium rare), she was pompous and boring and sent someone to deal with our request. Perhaps instead of displaying pictures of movie stars (as I'm sure was once deserved), perhaps they could spend their effort on their current customer base and earn the $$ they so clearly think their entitled to. My husband and I appreciate service as well as quality of food. We had better meals and graciousness in this beautiful city just sitting at a local cafe'. Never the less, this city was one of the most exquisite! read more

Authentic food, full of local people, good service, experienced staff - definitely recommend for anyone visiting Paris

This was a disappointing experience. My daughter and I are traveling to Europe with our first stop being Paris and Chez Andre was recommended by the concierge at our hotel for our 2nd dinner abroad. The waitstaff was friendly but not attentive. I ordered the fois gras which was delicious however followed it up with the chateaubriand which was flavorless and not tender. I did not swallow a single bite. My daughter's free range chicken was over cooked. After our meal was delivered no one bothered to check in on us for 20 minutes when they came to clear the plates. I addressed my concern quietly with the waiter by telling him how good the fois gras was but how the steak and chicken were disappointing. I told him that I wasn't trying to get out of the bill but that I wanted him to know. He came back after 5 minutes and told me he was willing to remove the chicken (18€) from the bill but not the chateaubriand (33€). As promised, I paid without a concern however this is not an acceptable level of customer service given the circumstances. I do not recommend this restaurant for these dishes. read more

My husband and I went to this place on our first day in Paris. I had the sea bass which was in a nice seasoning with olive oil and my husband had the beef tartare--- he loved it. We also had a cheese plate. Everything was wonderful. The wait staff was extremely professional and it was a pleasure to eat there. Honestly, it might not have been the best idea to eat there first because a lot of other places that were similar in Paris failed in comparison (it set us up with high expectations). read more

We were waiting in line at Relais de l'Entrecote and couldn't take it and happened upon this place. Such a nice little find. We were some of the first to leave the line so we got a seat right away. My husband started with the escargot which he loved. I started with the lentil salad which surprised me by being served from a lovely pot (traditional I guess) just onto the plate with no salad/toast to go with it. I still ate it all! For mains we had the roasted chicken with fries and the roasted leg of lamb with mashed, both very good. The profiteroles we shared for dessert were totally ice cream filled and came with a pot of thick chocolate sauce. It got very busy and they do their best to seat everyone so it can get tight in there space wise. Nonetheless really enjoyed our dinner. read more

A solid choice for basic, no-frills, French food. Something of an iconic bistro in Paris. Loud and crowded but with service which was friendly and efficient (not words often associated with dining in Paris). Good mix of tourists and locals. read more
