This French restaurant sits in the Champs Elysées neighborhood of Paris. It is located right in the core of the fashion district (so for those of you in NYC, think of 5th Ave in midtown). The menu is a mixture of French and American dishes. It also has every type of food that you could eat. It includes chicken, beef and seafood (including shellfish like lobster and shrimp). The food could have used a little more seasoning, but was still good nonetheless. The service was okay, the waiter could have been a little more attentive, but again nothing to fret about. As far as ambiance, it is midway upscale (I.e., table cloths and lots of silverware). It is also a bit pricey, but somewhat on the lower end compared to the other comparable restaurants on the block. It is my recommendation to visit this restaurant, especially if you are new to Paris. read more

We were getting hungry while sightseeing and stopped by L'Alsace for a quick bite. Just knowing that this place was probably a tourist trap, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and the service was wonderful. Not sure why the reviews here are so poor as this restaurant deserves a chance. The lobster, steak tartare and huge serving of French onion soup were all quite good. Just don't be expecting Michelin-quality food for this price point. read more

Walking along the Champs Elysees and found this lovely place. The food was delicious and the service was good. The bar is absolutely beautiful with a gorgeous chandelier. The soupe a l'oignon was AMAZING. Yes, we were those americans that asked for butter with the bread but it was worth the "look". Butter in France is so good! read more

This is one of the most classic French restaurants you can experience. You can get the state freight there, which is very good and the service is impeccable. I would highly recommend this place and I think he would enjoy spending time there but it's important to understand that you are in a European restaurant which means that they take quite a bit longer to get your plate ready. So expect a long wait and enjoy the time there. read more

This restaurant IS RACIST. DO NOT give them your money! My friend and her family came to eat dinner here today and despite there being open tables, they were given a wait time of 45 minutes since they didn't have a reservation. My friend is Black and American and her husband is French and Sri Lankian. Soon after, a white family came in and were seated immediately, and they also didn't have a reservation. The husband confronted the host and questioned why the other family (same party size) got seated and they were being made to wait 45 minutes when there were open seats. They made up a bunch of excuses like there wasn't a booster seat for my friend's child, even though they didn't ask for or need a booster seat, and other excuses. This conversation happened in English. Then one host said to another in French "just say they had a reservation" but my friend's husband speaks French and they were shocked when he told them so. The host had already told him "just go get some pizza or something" indicating that he didn't think my friend's family could afford their restaurant. They left their formerly favorite restaurant feeling BELITTLED, EXCLUDED, and once again reminded of the RACISM they face in Paris on a regular basis. 0 stars. read more

Horrible service/hospitality. Avoid this restaurant (there are many other, better options, in the area)! I'm recently post-op for double jaw surgery, need to eat soft food and not able to drink because of my diet/meds, and the waiter refused me service and told me to get out when I ordered a French onion soup, water & a crème brûlée (no entree). My partner ordered the same to be respectful of my eating situation and we were treated like we were cheap & got kicked out. The restaurant wasn't busy and the waiter also slammed cups down on our table and didn't return for 20 minutes after we got seated to take our order. If you don't want to be in service, why not quit and find a more suitable profession? read more

We came here for dinner for our first night in Paris. This restaurant was a few minutes walking distance from our hotel. When we got to the restaurant, we immediately saw how busy and packed it was. I thought that was a good sign and meant the place was popular, but things slowly took a turn. We waited for a table inside because it was pretty chilly that night, and stood by the door because it was crammed and other people were waiting. Servers and waiters were coming in and out as they brought food to the tables outside. One of the workers and/or manager was pretty rude in telling us where to stand while we waited. When we finally got seated, it took us forever to flag our server because we had questions about the menu. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant and it felt like we were invisible to them. The service was horrible. When we finally got our server's attention, we ordered the foie gras, steak and fries, maison d'alsace, and seafood platter. We asked for the dishes to come out all at once, but they brought us each dish one by one. The foie gras was good and had a lot of flavor, but i was not used to it being hard and thought it would be easily spreadable. We asked for the steak to be medium rare, but it was dry and chewy. The maison d'alsace was not what we were expecting. It felt like big chunks of pork/ham and hotdogs over sauerkraut that was very sour and tangy. The pork was extremely salty. In addition, we didn't get our water until our food started to come out. We got 3 of the 4 dishes we ordered, and the seafood platter still didn't come out yet. We honestly thought they forgot about it considering we were almost done with the other dishes and we wanted to see if we could cancel it. Turns out the platter was waiting on the side the whole time to bring to our table, but it never came out. The seafood platter was huge and we did not realize everything was raw. Only 2 out of us 4 ate raw seafood. They were not able to accommodate the misunderstanding or cook the clams or mussels. I ate the raw oysters and snails, which were good and fresh, but they were also extremely salty. There was a lot leftover because we couldn't finish everything. At the end of the night, the manager gave us our check and told us our bill didn't include a tip for the server, and asked if we wanted to add anything. I understand the food industry, customer service and the important to tip for service, but we were not given any attention. I was pretty disappointed in this place. read more

Terrible, tourist trap. Stale baguette, expensive add ons and food is mediocre. Not a true representative of French cooking.

I really really really want to give this place more stars, but I absolutely cannot because the services is atrocious. It took forever for a server to come, drinks took a day and don't even get me started on the food. It was as if they had to go round up the animals and pick the vegetables themselves. The service was just awful. However, the duck was delicious and I will not discount them that. It was tender and the flavoring was great. If only it came out sooner. read more

So our second day in Paris and we had to try something on Champs de 'Elysees. L'Alsace was recommended to us. The restaurant was very nice and the staff were very kind. The food however, was less the average. My son and I had the ribeye which coming from the US, was underwhelming. It was my wife's order of the lobster that was really disappointing. The lobster had been burned just enough to blacken the meat in the edges of the tail. Except for the lobster claws, the meal was inedible. All three meals were accompanied by a side of bernaise (sp?) sauce. I wish I could say the sauce was good but it wasn't. Our desserts were better. My wife the strudel and really liked it. I had the strawberry pastry which was tasty. My son had pistachio ice cream and ate every bite. What made the meal worse was the price. Yes, we are on the Champs de Elysees so paying a premium was expected. But with that high price, the food should be much better. The restaurant's atmosphere is very welcoming, the waitstaff kind and professional but all that is for naught if the food is not good. I hope it improves. read more

It wasn't terribly memorable, but it was worth the stop. The waitstaff seemed too busy to really give much attention to their tables. Took my mom and I multiple attempts when trying to her our waiters attention. The food was delicious, though - pictured is the risotto, steak frites, and creme brûlée. read more

Service was far too snooty for the quality of the food. Mussels we had as starter were ok not great. I had the lamb chops, wife had the rib steak with fries. The fries were decent. Would not recommend, especially for the price. You're paying for location, not for a good meal. Might try the Five Guys next door. read more

A small detour before my review: Prior traveling to France, people told me scary stories about the horrendous people of France. Except nothing like that occurred and people were not rude and mean. There are beautiful (most important: inner beauty) individuals in every country and you learn to appreciate the cultural differences. However, I went prepared and learned how to say the key phrases but for the most part I only spoke English. Now I know this restaurant has a bad rep and has gotten many low ratings. But I truly recommend you to try it out. What's not there to like about it. It's in the famous Champs Élysées which is really pronounced chanz e lee zaa. It's pretty romantic if you say it out loud... No matter what season you go, sit outside and enjoy the atmospheric beauty of this area. They have heaters for you if you go in the winter months and you feel nice and toasty. While you are waiting for your food and drinks you will enjoy the many lights and stores all around the avenue. Now this restaurant has many options of seafood, chicken, meat etc. Before my sister and I even sat down, we knew that we weren't sharing desserts. So, of course we ordered two creme brûlées. And, yes I finished every last bite of it. If I could, I would have brought some back to the U.S. it was that delicious. The whole fish I ordered had such a delectable lemon sauce that it brought out the natural taste of the fish which was amazing. Lastly, our server Liam was one of a kind and even the manager stopped to ask how our meal was. I am so glad this restaurant was one of my last meals in France because I loved every minute of the dining experience. Avoir un merveilleux repas~ read more

My experience here was neither good or bad but the customer service left little to be desired. I was just happy to find a decent restaurant open with late hours on a Saturday night. It's located in Champs-Elysées and was very easy to find. I had dinner here before a night out in the city. We were greeted and told that we could sit anywhere we'd like. The restaurant was fairly empty. There were about 4-5 other parties having dinner around 11pm as well. Our waiter was not very attentive. He disappeared for long periods and upon arrival would rush us to ask for whatever it was that we needed. We ordered the Roasted Scottish salmon pavé and Roasted veal. Both dishes were pretty mediocre and lacked flavor but after a long day of shopping and sightseeing I couldn't complain. For two entrees and two rounds of drinks our bill was a little over 200 euros. One thing that bothered me about this place was that my server asked for a tip when he brought the bill. Maybe it's a US thing but tips are expected when providing a service and it's rude to ask for one. read more

This cafe is a great deal for Av. des Champs-Élysées! I've been here twice. The mussels are a lovely, the bread is fresh, and their are well priced glasses of wine. This time I ordered the special for 19,90 euros that came with and entree and dessert. The chicken, mash potatoes, and reduced gravy sauce were very good. The creme brûlée was magnificent! Service was very attentive! Loved the bathroom decor for my selfie. Great location and view of the the avenue! read more

Excellent regional French food! Pricing was reasonable. Went because of a recommendation of store clerk, they were 100% on point.

The waiter actually ASKED for a tip. This is not done even where tipping is common. The staff was rude.

Be warn!! European menu has a cheaper menu than the English menu! Be very aware!! We haven't had dinner yet but I'll update this after dinner. I sort of want to leave but the people I'm with wants French onion soup. read more

This place has a poor rating but we gave it the benefit of the doubt because of other positive reviews. But BEWARE- This is not the quaint and cinematic bistro experience you hope and dream to have when stepping foot upon the Champs-Élysées. The service was rude and slow, the menu does not stimulate your tastebuds in the least bit and the food was beyond subpar. Overall poorly executed. 10/10 would not recommend. Find another place that will fulfill your Paris cafe fantasy, please. P.S. they refused to give our party any ice claiming "their ice machine is broken" while dishing multiple cups of ice to other tables! What kind of blatant discrimination was that?! read more

I got sick eating here. And this limited my trip. The staff is always very rude and expects tips even though there's no tipping in France. The menu price difference is real, but the waiter claimed that this was part of increase in pricing and that previous menu was old. And to say getting sick may be from somewhere else, I say I ate at guy savoy and arpege the nights before and had pastries from hotel and Alain Ducasse. Tourist trap! Beware! Many other better places to choose from on champs Elysées. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant when walking down the Champs-Élysées, and we decided to come in due to the reasonable prices (for the area). We were escorted to the second floor, where we were the first ones, but the room quickly filled up. Our table had a nice view of the street below, which in itself was almost worthwhile. All the service we recieved was satisfactory, and actually superior to many other places we've gone in Paris. All the workers were dressed in black tie, but the clientele was more casual- ranging from tourists in sweatshirts to Paresians actually shopping here, dressed to the 9's. The menu was much more affordable than most (entrees averaging 20-25€), but there was also a second menu with a starter/dessert and a choice of 3 entrees for 19€, or all 3 for 26€. My boyfriend opted to order the former, and got roasted chicken and crème brûlée. I got the mussels. He was originally brought the wrong entree, and while they quickly changed it out, I saw my mussels and fries got stuck into a heat fridge. When our food eventually arrived, my fries had become a little soggy and the mussels dried out, but I'm certain that had I gotten them right away it would have been better. Both of our foods were very generously portioned. I got a HUGE bowl of mussels, and he had a large piece of chicken over mashed potatoes and a mushroom cream sauce. Both entrees were a little bland, but were decent. Our only other complaint would be that a piece of his chicken was a tad pink in the middle of one part, which he just ate around. Dessert was excellent, and bigger than many other crème brûlées that I've been served. Overall, it's not great for the food, but it's a good "budget" place for a nice meal in the area. read more

This has got to be one of the worst places to eat. I don't know how they stay in business in such a fine place as Paris. We were greeted very rudely but everyone wanted to eat. We checked yelp but it was very difficult to find, it was only after getting the bill we were able to reconcile the address and find it on yelp. We had the mussels which the chef said were fresh everyday. Yes they were so fresh that they still tasted like sea water. They were horrible! After telling them they said they were good and walked away. I would highly not recommend this place for anyone. read more

We went there, but the Asian host demanded that we should leave after he found out that we were only going to eat appetizers and deserts. He demanded from us either order the main courses in addition, or we should leave. So we left. Worst experience, worst hospitality. DO NOT GO THERE. Someone should teach this host to not bully patrons, and learn some etiquette on how to treat people. This is not communism. Last I knew France was part of the free world. read more

Ok. This place is terrible!!!! The food wasn't good at all. This was my first real meal in France. I may come to find I don't like any of the food here lol. It was so bland , my wife and I had a fish meal and a chicken meal. The fish was cooked good but seasoned poorly. The chicken tasted like they boiled it , it wasn't good at all. Customer service wasn't good but it's Europe so we didn't expect much, however these folks were mean.. we ordered things and they brought different things and tried to force it on us to eat . Now for the good stuff. There was a rat running around in there, he was very comfortable in the outside dining area. I hope this isn't the French way. With that said people were lining up to eat this garbage... I'll never go back here... I came on a recommendation of a friend I won't recommend this to anyone I have nothing good to say about this place other than it's located in a nice area. It's pretty pricey too.. save your money on this one .. you won't be happy. read more

Why did they add extra salt to the oysters? Ordered the ecailler oyster selection. The oysters were very fresh but the restaurant added extra salt to the water the oysters had been stored in. As a result you mainly tasted Morton's instead of oysters. Onion soup was first class. We had a bottle of Lorenz Riesling. Careful! If you are sensitive to sulfites you will need an aspirin after your meal. The staff were fabulous. We sat in the outside terrace on a nice Saturday afternoon, much nicer than being inside the restaurant itself. Too bad about the oysters, this factor took 2 stars off this rating. We will go elsewhere for oysters in future. read more

The service is totally unacceptable when their waitress and waiters literally roll their eyes in front of their customers. I went there with my parents and sister. My sister told them we had 4 people but they misunderstood we had 5. When they figured out we had 4 instead of 5, the first time of rolling eyes happened. They have 2 different sessions at the patio, one for lunch with proper meals and one for drinks and snacks only. We weren't aware of that as no one has explained to us. Maybe it's their "good" service standard for not explaining anything. When they asked us if we wanted for lunch, we just said yes as we thought "anyway, we will sit down first." When they find out we wanted drinks instead of meals, they again roll their eyes to us. We may not ask at the beginning for the meaning of lunch, but we as the customers should not receive the "rolling eyes" service by any means. If they constantly provide services like this, they don't deserve a single buck of tips. You guys make up the ugly side of the beautiful Champs-Élysées Avenue. The occasion happened at between 4:30pm to 5:30pm on September 27th, 2018. Never ever will go back to this restaurant. read more

We decided to go in based on the Moules special (mussels). I asked my husband to check Yelp but he thought Moules et frites à Paris on the Champs Elysées, what could go wrong? We checked while we were waiting to order and saw that it was a 2 1/2 star restaurant... They looked good but the first one was mushy and fishy. Definitely not what we were expecting. Some did not open meaning they weren't fresh. We had onion soup (the best part of dinner) which was ok except that the broth wasn't as tasty as some we've had in Montreal. Also at the table, we got the chicken with Spaetzels (chicken was tough and tasteless, Spaetzels were pretty yucky), fish with sauerkraut (ok) and the trout with rice (probably the best dish on the table). I believe the reviews were quite accurate in that the service wasn't very good. We told the manager about the mussels and he just grunted and walked away without saying anything. However a waitress came by to ring the check in and when we told her about the mussels she asked why we didn't say anything earlier so she could've replaced them (no one came to check on is) but she actually went back and took the mussels off so thanks to her we didn't have to pay for uneaten food. Will definitely check Yelp next time before venturing into a restaurant. read more

Our last night in Paris my boyfriend and I were strolling through the Champs-Elysees around 10 p.m. looking for a late night dinner. We were worried many places would be closing, so we were hurried in finding a place to eat. We saw the menu for L'Alsace and decided to give it a try. We didn't have any issues with the service - everyone was very nice. I did, however find the food very lackluster and I wasn't happy to see we were charged for a carafe of water when it was brought to our table without us asking. Naturally, we assumed this would be free, since it was water and brought to us without question. I wouldn't recommend L'Alsace. It is definitely a tourist trap, as I'm sure 90% of the restaurants along this famous street are, and it's a shame, as I'm sure they could do better. read more

Loved it! Food was amazing! The service was spectacular as well! I was recommended to eat here by the sales lady at Fendi. My wife would've never eaten the duck foi gras if she knew what it was. She loved it! You gotta have the calf liver, cooked pink. I can still taste it in my mouth! The escargot was out of this world, with just the right amount of garlic, and oil. For those of you that gave this place a 1-2 star, you should've gone to Mcdonalds or the Five Guys joint next door. What did you expect?? A $5 dollar happy meal and a Big Mac on the side to fill you up? I'd be pretty upset too if I had someone coming in ordering "water and creme brulee. Remember, this place is in the most expensive real estate in Paris. If you want to get full on 5-10 bucks, go somewhere else. My wife and I were treated exceptionally well. read more
