6 guests allowed to have 1.5 hrs at table. No waitress for 15 min then forced to order drinks, wine entree and dessert at once. Xxl snails - couldn't find in shell. 2 of 6 entrees inedible - 1 sent back- still inedible. Heard manager telling guest " if they would leave- I could seat you". Didn't get bill til 820- tried to pay and couldn't get waitress. Not a good experience and was recommended by hotel. Yuk read more

Lovely bistro just off the Champs Elysees. I had a nice meal here on Thursday night, superb Fois Gras to start, but slightly let down by my steak au poivre which was hardly rare, but served more like well done. Was this because I'm English? I'm not sure. Other than that, the wine was excellent and the service super-friendly and accommodating, so I would definitely come back. Oh and, if you're stuck in the queue waiting to get in Le Relais de l'Entrecôte across the street, don't - come in here instead! read more

What a fantastic little gem. Was recommended to us by someone at the hotel, but was so good that we went back three times in our short stay in Paris. Food was consistently on point, staff was very accommodating and worked hard to make up for our lack of French. We had different things each time and it never disappointed. Especially recommend the veal stew and the apple tart. read more

What a wonderful place! We didn't have reservations, but they got us in at a beautiful table outside. The service and the food are excellent! And oh the bread! We had their daily sausage and mashed potato special with some French onion soup and a carafe of Beaujolais! Oh la la!!! read more

Our upscale hotel recommended the restaurant and made personalized reservations for our 30th Wedding Anniversary dinner. We were told to ask for Christoph and he would take care of us. Our first time in Europe and for our 30th we were excited to be in Paris. We got to the restaurant and they said they didn't have a reservation for us we asked for Christoph as instructed and he was of no help he found us a table with a very tight fit and with a flourish rudely separated a table for four to squeeze us in. We saw our waitress once. We had to ask other waitresses for drinks and eventually our bill. Christoph was off yelling at staff which was very embarrassing and schmoozing with other diners who must have been "important." One waitress was standing around with nothing to do and other diners were comfortably seated. The food was bland. We got to talking with another couple who was you might say seated "with" us and they were also treated the same as us. They did not like the food as well. We ordered chateaubriand that came with....french fries. hahaha. Needless to say a disappointing experience on a very important day. read more

Was seated. Waited for someone to take our order. No one did. We went checking inside multiple times. Someone promised to come and take our order. No one did.... After sometime waiter came to let us know that this particular table is reserved. No one bothers to show us where we can seat (restaurant was completely empty)... Hence, we left and do not recommend it his place due to poor service. read more

We had reservations there. I read the mixed reviews about the rude servers but hoped it was a one-time occurrence. It was not. We made the unpardonable sun of being early for our reservation by about 15 minutes. Another three-person group followed is into the restaurant. After being yelled at that we were too early and to come back at 7 because that section was not open until then, they did the same thing to the people behind us. So, instead of being accommodating and nice on a very cold night and opening the section, which by then would have been 10 minutes early, they lost five customers. Wr did not go back and we saw the other group get as far away as possible from the restaurant. So, I have no review of the food -- if you are that rude before I sit down, I cannot imagine what will happen after I do. Take my advice: stay away! read more

Although we intended to eat at Relais Entrecote across the street, their line was so long and we had show so we decided to forego the experience and menu looked decent at Chez Andre. We made a fantastic decision! First, without reservations and being quite busy, Christof checked the place and returned telling us 2 tables had check. We were given choice of those tables and selected front table near door - back room quite noisy. A party of four we enjoyed the sole perfectly prepared with buttery crust, an appetizer of mushrooms as a main, lamb, and scallops which our friend raved about. We were all thrilled to have a menu in English.Service sporadic. Severin was assigned our table because she spoke a little (LITTLE) English but she tried and smiled and was just lovely. The first course of eggs which we had seen all over Paris was okay but apparently very French. The "ham" (Prosciutto) and mozzarella dish really delighted us. A Parisian institution since 1936, we had a memorable and most tasty meal along with a nice, dry Rose. Christof (unusual for Paris) did not forget us after seating; he checked on us several times and was quite entertaining. This is a restaurant and a meal we will remember fondly. read more

Chez André - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Servers are extremely the rudest I've ever encountered. Will definitely not come and do not recommend anyone to try.

Great Parisienne restaurant! The mashed potatoes, the duck, and the creme brûlée were great. The kids menu is very good as well too, so very good for families. read more

Best restaurant we ate in Paris! Everyone was friendly and attentive. Food portion and taste was good. Best part was our kids ate for free l! They have kids menu and if you have kids under 6 or 7 they eat free. I thought it was one of the most affordable restaurant in the neighborhood yet clean and 5 star read more

This restaurant gets a O rating. WORST EXPERIENCE AT A RESTAURANT EVER!!! The waitress was the rudest I have ever come across. The steak I ordered was so chewy it wasn't even edible- when I cut it with a knife I could hear it going through the gristle. I had my husband give it a try and he spit it out. When I complained about said steak the rude waitress threw a temper tantrum and accused me of not being happy with her service (I wasn't). The management did not care one whit about customer service (although they did remove the steak from the bill). I write dozens and dozens of reviews and this is by far the one I would say to never ever go to- read more

The staff, service and ambiance was excellent. The food and wine here was good and priced fair. Was not overly wowed by the food, but felt like a hometown neighborhood staple. read more

Thought the food was mediocre. I had the duck and potatoes, and fresh oysters. Oysters were about $5 each but were not impressive... I have eaten much fresher oysters in france. The place was pricey but given it is a few blocks away from champs-elysee, I'm not surprised. The good thing was they had kids menu with grilled/slightly sauté fish! read more

Food was excellent, service staff were very nice and helpful. Just a tad hot during the summer but the avocado tartar + crab and the strawberry mascarpone + biscuit were both very refreshing dishes. ^_^ read more

My friends, that live nearby, have made Chez Andre a regular stop and you can definitely see why. It has a great old-school French bistro feel, tons of locals and a really nice/accommodating staff. As a result, we stopped in here twice while I was in town (dinner and brunch). The menu is what you might expect from a bistro. I tasted all of the following: - Roasted Chicken - Beef Carpaccio - Sardines - Endive Salad - Duck Entree - Goat Cheese Salad - Tomato/Mozzarella - Frites All were solid, but nothing amazing...hence, the three stars. But definitely a nice little neighborhood spot to pop into. Of note, we came at the time of brunch, but the menu isn't much different lunch/brunch/dinner. read more

AMERICANS AVOID: My family and I are upper middle class Americans on vacation across Europe. None of us speak more than a handful of French words combined but we try our best to communicate. The owner or manager took absolute advantage of the language gap even though he spoke English well. We paid €5,80 for WATER when we expected tap water like everyone else and €28,00 for "the house wine." There was very limited space and a coat check but we were not offered the coat check. We ordered 3 low end appetizers and wine and it came out to €55,90. The food was pleasant but the service as an American family trying our best was terrible. We know Americans can be rude but we were trying to reverse the stereotype. read more

Chez André - Our bill for soup and wine. - French Near Me - Paris, 75

One of the great things about Paris is that you can wander into just about any corner bistro and have a decent meal for a reasonable price. So when I wandered into Chez Andre, a classic French bistro, I was expecting a pretty decent meal. Malheureusement, this was not the case. This is actually probably one of the worst meals I have ever had in Paris. I started with the endive, which was barely dressed and was badly under salted. Very bad first sign. Next came the duck breast with pears, which was very under cooked and, largely as a result, had a massive slab of undercooked duck fat sitting on the top. It frankly was barely edible. Finally, I tried the millefeuille, hoping to end on a high note. Alas, it was not to be. It tasted like a premade millefeuille, brought in from somewhere else, with soggy layers between the cream. Disastrous! Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else, Paris is full of good restaurants. This just isn't one of them. read more

Our experience was markedly different from those who posted negative reviews. We chose Chez Andre based on the recommendation of our hotel. It is conveniently located off the Champs-Elysees. Our server was very professional, courteous and perfectly bi-lingual. We both had the half-chicken with pomme-frites and were very happy with our choice. If you are looking for a reasonably priced French brasserie, where you can eat whenever you wish and get high quality food, try Chez Andre. read more

We were hoping to find an authentic French restaurant that didn't cater primarily to tourists. We both had the daily special, Coq au Vin and it was delicious. The table wine was excellent and my wife had the profiteroles for dessert. Everything we had was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good restaurant of the beaten path. read more

We were craving simple French food and succeeded with Chez Andre. After traveling for two weeks, simple food such as the roasted chicken was exactly what we needed. The avocado and fresh crab starter was nice with a drizzle of basil oil. Hard boiled eggs with organic fresh mayo, too, was nothing extraordinary but simple and well done. Profiteroles with a delicious warm chocolate sauce was a nice top off to the meal. Ambience was great - a nice people watching spot in cozy bistro setting. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Clearly a favorite with the locals as well. read more

Pretty solid. Nice French onion soup. Had the avocado salad... Nice as well. Good wine and atmosphere. Sat outside on a rainy night which made it very nice. read more

Chez André - French Near Me - Paris, 75

We went there to have dinner at le Relais de l' Entrocte. Very long queue led us to try chez André. Excellent duck with blueberry for me. My daughter and lovely wife enjoyed the premium chateau brian. Cafe gourmet with three desserts for them and I decided to go for the profiteroles. We really enjoyed unplanned (and unreserved) early dinner. Strongly recommended. read more

October, 2009 Bonsour Mon Ami, I am yelping from Paris, France.(I must really want those 1st time reviews.) This restaurant is highly rated by AAA. The place was crowded on Sunday night. The staff is very, very friendly. I don't know where I heard that the French disliked Americans, but they were very friendly and the service was excellence. I started with a chilled, red wine whose name I can't remember, but it was delicious. The waitress gave me a plate of six different cheeses from a Brie to a strong Rogueford and a basket of French breads. My wife enjoyed a lentil (Puy) salad which was refreshing and unique in taste. I tried the Farmer Stew and Vicki had the lamb. The meals were sumptuous. We finished the meal off with a sorbet with three flavors, lemon, strawberry, and mango. What a wonderful experience. Next time you're in Paris, try it out. It is across the street from a 4-star restaurant we are going to try later. Au Revoir for now. Note: When I tried to Yelp this place in 2009 I could not submit it. The site kept throwing my review into Dallas, Texas. LOL We had such a nice time there we went back a second time, we enjoyed it so much. It is a tiny place, decorated nicely, and very, very cozy. I feel a bit embarrassed looking at the other ratings of 3-stars. Guess I have lower standards, or was just starry-eyed from my first trip to Paris. read more

Food was just ok. Service was traditional French. Wouldn't make too much an effort to come to this restaurant. Much better places in Paris to eat. Drinks are average. Keep checking for a better place. read more

Enjoyed this restaurant. The host was very friendly, the food and dessert were very tasty. I had duck and roasted potatoes (Monday nights special). Not pricey!! read more

Chez André - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Looking for an inexpensive meal of good quality and simple french cuisine in one of the most touristy parts or Paris? This is the place to go! My friend and I had the salmon with pesto and fries with a side of green salad. The salmon was a little overcooked but the pesto (dairy free which made me happy) was perfect poured on top and great to dip the fries in. The service was good - perhaps not the fastest or most attentive but always friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy place to eat near the Champ. read more

As a tourist, I came here based on a recommendation from a French friend. On a Saturday night around 7 PM, it was busy but we got a table for two Service was swift and efficient. The portions were huge! The oysters were prepared outside on the street, which is an interesting touch. My beef tartare was far more than I could eat. It seems like a lot of locals dine here. Tables are close to each other...it's not for those seeking privacy. Everyone was nice enough. read more

After a recommendation from the concierge from our hotel, Came to this restaurant for dinner before a show at the Lido. Had the sea bass special and it was delicious after I mixed it with the egg plant and puréed tomatoes. Tried the puffs with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce drizzled on top. The puffs were dry but the combination was a good idea! After a rocky start of waiting to order drinks, service ended up being pretty fast. In and out within 1hr 15 min for a table of 4. Nice place! read more

We ordered chicken and frites and french onion soup. Both were very good. It was quite busy and perhaps that is why the service wasn't that good. The waitress appeared a bit bothered... but food was worth it. Service a 3, Food a 4! https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187147-d714942-r692436965-Chez_Andre-Paris_Ile_de_France.html# read more

Full of local flavor with bustling tourists all about. The service was prompt and French but I will say we were seated @ just before midnight and nobody was kicking us out @ 1am. Now that's my kind of restaurant. Food was simple French and delicious. Prices are what you'd expect in that area. If you need a late night yummy meal I would check it out. The staff is quite colorful read more

Ooh la la... I enjoyed my meal there. Chez Andre is a bit off the beaten path but was a pleasant find for us. I usually search Yelp for recommendations before trying a new spot but reading the reviews for this spot is a good example of why that isn't always the best idea. Had I seen these reviews I probably would have passed and would have missed what I thought was a solid meal. I had the steak with frites and my girlfriend had the duck breast. Both were pretty delicious. I found the waitress to be pretty accommodating read more

Food was alright. The staff was very friendly and spoke english well. The food tasted okay. The duck with peaches left a strange taste in my mouth, i was disappointed because i thought the combination would be terrific. The snails were not anything special, and the sea bass was quite delightful. The little street it sits on is also peaceful. read more

The chicken is one of the specialties and it was at least a day old, the bread was stale and the service was non-existent. We ordered a chateaubriand medium and it came out raw. read more

The real deal for locals or tourists, alike. Good fun. Great food. Classic ambience.

This place was okay at best. I'd say four stars for location and general ambience, two stars for the food and service. We were recommended this place from our concierge at a great hotel, so we had high hopes. We arrived and were told that the empty tables outside were reserved, plausible. So we were seated inside at the worst table, right by the door. I'm a good sport, so I tried to just go with it and enjoy the experience. I chose to go here for my first meal of my trip. If I knew then what I know now, I would not have made that decision. So we are trying to get comfortable and place our orders when we are approached by the hostess who asked us in perfect English if we would get up and change tables. Unusual, but understandable under some circumstances. We obliged them and took our seats at another table. I was certainly surprised that the party of 10 at the door was not seated in the section that we vacated. In fact, our table sat vacant for over 30 minutes. I wonder if asking us to move was actually necessary. I approached the "hostess" about our table and she pretended not to understand the most basic of things I said, walking away in the middle of my sentence to attend to a French speaking guest. I say pretending because when she sat us we had an entire English conversation with no problem. Also, this is a huge tourist spot, so it's hard to imagine that she didn't understand anything that I said. Half of the patrons were American. Anyway, then our food came. I had the Sole, maybe the priciest dish on the menu. It was bland and just okay. Certainly nothing memorable. The green beans it was served with were devout of any flavoring or seasoning whatsoever. So we ate. As dinner wound down I spotted a manager and decided to let him know that I was disappointed with aspects of my experience at the establishment. I must say, he was quite sympathetic and seemed to recognize that the service we received was subpar. Accordingly, he promised us a table outside for after dinner drinks on him. Redeeming I thought. But when the time came, we were offered no such accommodation. All in all, I know there are more accommodating restaurants with better food in the area and cannot imagine that I will ever return here for any reason. A word to the wise should be sufficient. I'd try somewhere else. read more

This traditional French Bistro has all the trappings. Tables are small and close to each other. Service is attentive and designed to turn the tables. The food is excellent. We started with snails and French onion soup. The French do these right and Chez Andres performed. For entrees (main course to us Americans) we enjoyed duck breast and lamb. This is why we come to Paris for food. This is the culinary part we never forget. Paris has many great cafés and bistros. We have become spoiled by the ones who really get the food and service. And where the locals are part of the fabric of the scene. I suppose some would complain about being so close to other tables. Or to the style of service. But this is what we love. And the food frosts this cake. read more

What a great dinner! We were six from my mother to my niece. The host took our party in stride and seated us right away. Everyone found something tool eat and drink. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. From the escargot to the sea bass to to veal chops, ice cream, floating island and profiteroles, everything was top notch and will prepared. We laughed, enjoyed our meal and wondered why folks across the street were waiting on line for hours for another restaurant which was not as good. Thank you for a great evening. read more

Looking for a place to eat late on a Thursday night and Chez André was hopping so we thought we would try it. Wanted to sit outside but place was too busy but we were quickly seated by the window. A little loud but not uncomfortable. Service was excellent and our waitress was very friendly and efficient. The food was very good but not 5 star (more 4-1/2). My wife had the sea bass and I had the steak with bernaise sauce. Sauce was great, steak was fine but could have been a little tender. My wife had sea bass which was well prepared. We ended with a cheese platter which was great. A lot of people order snails which looked and smelled great. Ended the night with a cheese plate which was excellent. Had a carafe of the house red which was very drinkable. Prices were very reasonable for this part of Paris. Overall we had a great experience and will likely go back. read more
