Hopped off a plane at CDG, dropped my stuff off at my house and went straight to Champs Elysees to begin my two week tourist excursion. My cousin already had this place in mind for me because he likes the sauerkraut here. Talk about getting hit with French service. We were seated, given water, then out waitress took our orders and I never saw her again until the bill came. I ordered the steak tartare and it was delicious. Surprisingly, a rather big portion given that everyone warned me of how little the French serve and how Americans overindulge - etc. Anyway, it was good but I can't say it was the best I ever had. Bill was very decent for a place like this. read more

On My first visit to France and we decided to dine at L'Alsace for a late lunch/early dinner. The wait staff was courteous and helpful even though our French was non existent! Our meal arrived in a timely manner and we enjoyed our meal quite a bit. I had the lamb chops with au gratin potatoes and green beans. Very flavorful! My husband enjoyed the veal chop with the au gratin potatoes but we were a little surprised that a vegetable did not accompany his meal as well read more

Reading the other reviews, I feel like we lucked out on the service which was not great but good enough, and the food was pretty solid. Yes, it's touristy, but it's the Champs Elysees -- Hello! If you don't want touristy, then don't eat on the Champs Elysees. As places on this street go, I think this one is rather typical, but the menu is a bit broader because it includes nice Alsace dishes like choucroute which I had (and which was good but not exceptional). The mussels were good. The thick piece of salmon was not. The smoked salmon was excellent. read more

Service: It was 7/10 - No body offered water or wine, thankfully I brought my own so when they did get around to ask me, I say, no thanks, I got it. Food: Just okay! My onion soup was awesome but David's trout was horrific. No flavor, like eating a paper bag. Price: WAYYYYYY toooo Muchhhhhh 20 euros for soup and chicken. Parking: NONE! you must pay meter and its 1 euro per 15 min. Yep, 15 min. Would I go there again?! Nope! can't pay me to do it. read more

Last night in Paris. Menu looked good, so we decided to try it. I don't know who our server was, but the two people helping us were not around after we ordered. I had to flag someone to ask if our food was coming, as everyone else around us was already eating entrees and they ordered after us. The French fries were raw and I motioned to the manager, who sent a back waiter to talk to me. They said there was nothing they could do because they are house made. ??? At the end of the meal, the back waiter had the audacity to ask if the service was still ok. We did not have service. If someone would have said, your food is on the way or acknowledged us at all, I would not have been so upset. Bottom line. Terrible food, terrible service. Do not waste your money here. read more

Horrible service accompanied by terrible food. If you are in Paris and willing / ready for bad times to your patience and palette,please be my guest and check them out. Both adults and kids menu were less than desired. read more

Do not even set foot in this establishment. Don't eat here if you can help it, there's a good chance it will ruin your evening and fill you with regret! Food is only ok, similar/better can be found just a few steps away, indoor ambiance is good, the service is beyond terrible, it is grotesque. If you experience staff similar to the ones we did, it will make you feel horrible and leave a bad taste in your dining and memories. This was one of our very precious moments while we were in Paris to dine out at our choice of restaurant due to schedule and this restaurant really put a damper to our evening and trip, I imagine it will be talked about for a lifetime as the bad example of dining experiences. And do not confuse me with a spoiled, entitled, "American", customer is always right thinking individual because I am not. I am not complaining that we didn't get attentive, excellent service; I am not complaining we didn't get the basics of service; I am complaining that the service we got, actually did harm. Self service would have been better, less upsetting. I wouldn't have minded getting my own necessities if they let me. It was insulting at a human level, we left feeling like we were less than garbage. The "service" without a question was bad. Had to ask for silverware to eat with after food had already arrived, it took 3 times of having my hand up awkwardly for long durations at a time to order water, was happy to pay for butter for the complimentary bread but then got a judgmental look and huffiness from our server for asking, wasn't offered/asked anything during the whole visit, was rushed order taking, I could nearly hear the server tapping his feet. Having begged for service when it was only mildly busy, staff appeared plenty, enough that many were chatting and at a leisurely pace, we can only conclude our server didn't want to wait on us or like us, which is fine but couldn't he just have transferred us to a different server instead of making us his punching bag for the evening? I don't know what we did to make him/them think we didn't deserve time or service but whatever the reason, it sure was made obvious we were unwelcome. In hindsight, we should have just left but I really thought maybe things would turn around and get better. I was wrong. The server continued to ignore us when we tried to get his attention and a few times we even made eye contact. I understand a server can put his/her head down to work through while in the weeds but that should be spread equally around to all tables and it shouldn't be done in a manner of rudeness. The maddening thing was it was noticeable our server was significantly nicer and attentive to certain tables that ordered giant seafood platters and/or bottles of wine so we can't help but conclude it was about being selective about which tables to provide service to. The sad thing is I wanted to order more food/drink but wasn't even given the chance! He avoided us completely except for 2 stops/minutes of service: 1. having taken our order and 2. dropping off a glass of wine, bread and a starter plate. He harshly, aggressively dropped dishes off the time he did come to our table, you'd think that the bread was going to bounce out of the basket with that force. He didn't come back after that, other people dropped off our food (late might i add, maybe he didn't ring it in in time or let it sit for a while, i don't know, it came much later than the tables that came after us) and removed our plates while we were still eating, we didn't even get to finish the butter we paid extra for because they took our bread away lol!!! Throughout dining, there was so much tension. We gave up on more wine, additional dishes, dessert and coffee because it was so challenging and uncomfortable. When we needed the bill to put an end to this misery, of course our server still wouldn't even give us a glance or bother cashing us out, we had to flag down someone else. He was too busy laughing and chatting up a storm with another employee. Can't imagine what we did to deserve such willful neglect and mistreatment. Unhappy, on our way out, we explained our experience in hope other customers don't end up the same way, to another employee, this time female at the host stand, but not too surprisingly, we were dismissed with the least sincerest apology: words of "I apologize" but with a sly smile and patronizing instruction that we take a look around because no one else feels the way we do, as if we were crazy. Then we were rushed out with many, very stern good bye's and the suggestion to try them again another time. Nope, I think not. I understand we can all have an off or bad day, I support service workers and forgive/forget even if lacking because I know mistakes happen, but this situation was very, very different, it felt malicious and vindictive. I am not the one to leave bad reviews or less than 20% tip even with bad service, being in the industry, but this time, sorry not sorry. read more

I would not recommend this his restaurant ATALL. The outside menu had "specials" but when you sit down those items never appear on the menu nor are they offered to you. The food is only average but the real concerning aspect is the deceit that comes at the end of the meal. We were only presented with a bill that had a total amount due. The bill was clearly more than what our meals should have cost. We assumed that it included a service charge and we're going to leave it at that but then the pushy waiter appeared with the credit card machine and asked why we weren't leaving a tip. When asked if it was on the bill (which we had no way of knowing because we never got an itemized bill) he said "Not for me". We were so stunned and ended up leaving a tip. Our bad for being scammed as a tourist. Lesson learned but I would never recommend this restaurant and would highly suggest you think twice if you are considering going. Please do your due diligence and read all other reviews. read more

Let me make deciphering the huge disparity of customer reviews of this establishment MUCH easier. If you are a spoiled douchebag with an inflated ego and sense of entitlement, and of the opinion that the World owes you a favor or is meant to cater to all your unreasonable expectations - then please DON'T EAT HERE! You will be made to feel exactly the way you should be treated by everyone else in your life until you wake up to reality. However, if you can appreciate the cultural norms of an amazing Country/City and the fact you are perhaps on the greatest street on the planet, eating at one of its busiest restaurants - taking a deep breath to enjoy the moment, your companions, and your surroundings - then it's well worth a visit. Yes, you will wait potentially 10 minutes or longer to order your drinks, get your drinks, order your food, get your food, etc. So what? Who cares? Regardless of all that, at least be prepared when the time comes to order everything at once or else you are the culprit, not the waiter, when they get annoyed at you. If you think you can simply waive your hand in the air and immediately get more water, or bread, or a new knife, etc. without catching an attitude, you WON'T. You are precisely why the service is slow. French waiters are overworked, and organized, and don't like their routine interrupted or it creates a trickle-down effect harming everyone. You can wait - the bread, or water, or knife, or waiter will eventually come and you will get what you need. In the meantime, enjoy the moment and engage in a conversation with your table-mates and remember you are in PARIS for fuck's sake! Oh, the food is really good by the way (e.g., oysters, shrimp and avocado cocktail, beef tartare, and creme brûlée are all recommended). read more

Went into this place to get out of the rain. And Turned out, we were met to be here. The person that took our order was very friendly as well as the server. The food was great, large portion of Caesar salad and I recommend the Maison D'Alsace which is enough for 3 people. The tea they serve is from Angelina's. And the cookies also is from Angelina's. Really enjoyed our last dinner in Paris. Au revoir read more

While the waiters are good the " street manager " is the most arrogant and rude person. Not only does he treat his crew like hell but he apparently is allowed to tell customers who spent thousands of dollars over two visits to go to hell. You will easily recognize him. He seats like a pompous jabathehiutt in a cheap blue suit and barks orders indiscriminately at his crews and customers. This place use to be good. I will definitely pass and never come again. Manager and owners, take a look. While due to your location you can afford delivering a miserable experience it will only last so long. Over the years you went from 4 to a lousy 2 and a half star. Never again... read more

The food was good and the service was attentive. Plenty of local French eating here as well(worried tourist trap). The wine selection was good. My husband had the pork belly special and he said it was delicious (cooked for 19hours we were told). read more

Just not good for any standards. The service was ok, French onion soup ok, seafood tower not good, filet mignon was undercooked, mashed potatoes good, fries cold. The $50 bottle of wine was the worst wine I've had in a restaurant. Sad this was our last meal in Paris read more

Consistently good food. French onion soup was perfect and not overly salty. Green beans were different than traditional French recipes. Everything we've ordered on multiple visits have been delicious. read more

This was our second time at this restaurant. We so much enjoyed the confit de canard the last time, we came again. But this time it was the suprême de volaille rôti au Gesurztraminer. It had a deep flavor, but was not too heavy. We highly recommend. The entrecôte grillée was good, but a little too gras. And the filet de bar was good, but nothing special. We'd come again though. But we'll get either the suprême de volaille or the confit de canard. BTW -the deserts were excellent. Go for the moelleux au chocolat. Au niveau de service, il faut peut-être aller pendant le déconfinement. Il y avait tres peu de monde et les serveurs étaient très attentionnés. read more

We just came here for a quick break and drinks since we've been walking up and down this avenue. Its okay. It just like any of the other touristy places out there. The waiter was nice and sat us down. Haven't had their food so I can speak for that, but the experience was good overall. read more

This place is disgusting. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. The food is NOT FRESH, we got stale bread, stale coffee and stale mussels. I'm fearing for tomorrow morning at this point. We brought it up to management and they stated " you finish the bread before you get new ones" literal hockey pucks. Mussels smelled like a week old foot and were dry and a bone. Once again please go somewhere else. read more

This place is great! It's by far the most exquisite seafood we ever had. John and Kadwer were superb in making us feel welcome and giving us the best service ever. This restaurant is a must when visiting Paris. read more

A nice spot with sidewalk seating on the Champ Elysees. We stoped here for lunch and the place was bustling with locals, which gave us comfort that this must be an authentic French restaurant. Everywhere we looked, every table had what looked like pasta dish but they were choucroute (aka pickled/"dressed" cabbage or sauerkraut). So we gave them a try... but first we started with the traditional French onion soup and escargot. Both were nicely done. The soup had the perfect balance of broth, onion, cheese and bread. (Surprisingly, not all French brassiere could do this right.). We then moved to the choucroute dishes. The serving size for both the combo and the seafood plates were generous - mostly with sauerkraut/cabbage. The combo plate comes with a variety of sausages, pork knuckle and other meat. The seafood plate had different fish, shrimp and crab claw. According to my friend, who was less adventurous and was tired of French cuisine, the truffle penne was rich with butter and truffle. As for beverages, L'Alsace has a nice wine list by the bottle and by the glass. Overall, this was a nice causal dining experience on the Champ Elysee, especially if you like sauerkraut. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE--Horribly disrespectful and unfriendly. We stopped for a bite to eat. We started off by ordering (champagne and rosé) as well as a caesar salad and french fries. We tried to order crepes as well but was rudely shot down as the waiter said "they are finished". Not knowing what to order instead we asked for bread for the table but was shut down again rudely as the waiter was looking for us to order an entree instead. However, all tables around us had bread and small dishes. The waiter was clearly upset that all four of us dining did not order individual entrees but instead small dishes to share. We then asked for more time and to start with the drinks. Time had passed and we noticed other waiters and waitresses looking at us and talking with an upset demeanor. We were then approached by the manager and he told us that we weren't ordering enough food to take up their table space and that they had other customers to seat instead. Upset, we told them we would leave. As we left we explained to the waiter that there was a misunderstanding because we were going to order food but needed more time. Without apologizing or making things right, he remained a big sack of shit and said "bye bye" in a painfully rude tone. read more

Honestly as much as I wanted to like this place, I couldn't. I gave it the benefit of the doubt due to the number of bad reviews. The service here was fine. My waitress was very attentive whenever I needed her. She was basically running around the whole restaurant by herself trying to cater to everyone's need. However, the food here is utterly shit. We ordered half a dozen of oysters and they weren't cleaned well and it looked like it was sitting out in the open for a while. I was really hoping the food we ordered would be better. I ordered the steak with fries and from a first glance, the fries from five guys next door looked even more appetizing. My steak looked over cooked and drenched in some unknown sauce. The muscles my boyfriend ordered looked good, but it had no flavor what so ever. My steak, was well done when I ordered it medium. As for the fries, McDonalds fries were better than this sad sap. We ordered the creme brûlée, but once we saw the food we canceled it right away. It is my last night here in Paris and I wanted to enjoy my last dinner with my boyfriend. Now we're off to search for redemption because we refuse to let this meal be the last on our wonderful trip. read more

I intended to give them a worse review, but then I hope they take chances for improvement. Your servers need to be re-training, because service is very slow and the servers' manners are not nice when our group complained about the food quality. Secondly, we ordered the €18 plate of steak and fries that they put its picture in front of their restaurant to get attention. When we complained that the foods were not good, a server said it's because we ordered the cheap plates. Well, if so, you need to change what you put to represent for your place. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us because it was open late. We came here and it looks very nice, clean and classy. We ordered our food and it was not cooked to order. It was overcooked and did not really taste up to our expectations. We had ordered several things and was not impressed. We won't be coming again. read more

Tourist trap, sat outside and there was a mouse on the planter by our table, onion soup tasted like water and the escargot made us nauseous. Do not recommend read more

We went to get dessert and wine here after dinner. The waiter was a shmuck. The creme brulee and wine were alright, nothing to write home about. The ambiance is okay, the fact that it is on Champs Elysées and open late was the only reason we went here. read more

Food is nothing to say, service is unbelievable bad. If you are not too tired to walk a little bit, leave the Champs-Élysées, much more choices in Paris. read more

Kind of a huge disappointment. With so few days in Paris... every meal counts! First off the hostess was rude and intense. Not great as you want to sit, relax and enjoy a meal on the Champs L'elysee. We started with onion soup which was very good. For our main we had the roasted chicken which was average in every way. Perhaps eating on the Champs L'elysee lends itself to ambiance more than food quality. We unfortunately didn't enjoy much of either. read more

Awful ! It looks nice, the menu looks good but the staff were unfriendly the food was awful, my steak was 50% inedible, my wife's fish was raw and they snuck in some extra charges and even had the audacity to charge for a carafe of water - (normally you are given a choice if there is a charge !). Wouldn't recommend and won't be going back ! read more

Bad food, bad service, and I'll never get back that evening meal time in France. This place was awful. We visited this place in Champs d'Elysses. Its location and hours are good for dinner, but that's about it. All the dishes were bad. I had trout; it was extremely bony and hard to eat. Even without the bones, the trout itself was just a fish with butter. My family also ordered salmon tartar, which was very plain, fishy, and not special. They also served us a "chicken with worms," which was tasteless and bad. My mother was scarred by that dish, and is still complaining about it one week later. The only saving grace was the onion soup, which is the only way we ate. The service was bad. Our server left mid-meal with no prior warning. The dishes were also needlessly expensive. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Please go to this restaurant if you wanna have a full ratatouille (Disney movie) experience! If you want mice having a party at your feet while you're eating , this is definitely the place to go! If you want to be given attitude by the manager while you complain, not receive not even an apology, let alone a drink or dessert on the house just to show a sign of hospitality, please go here. On another note, food was very mediocre for the pricey menu. The only thing i can truly say was good was the tomato gazpacho soup. Hope it wasn't prepared by the ratatouille characters though. You never know in this place. Really regret not reading the other reviews before seating down. Would've saved us from a horrible experience. read more

Stay away!. We went here as a group and a lot of chicken came out way under-cooked. When we discussed with head waiter and he was incredibly rude and said he considered it cooked and then later tapped his watch and said they did t have time to cook it. DO NOT eat here. read more

We ordered 1 appetizer and 2 main dishes. The French onion soup had a wonderful hefty layer of caramelized cheese. The soup contained the usual suspects of croutons and caramelized julienned onions. The thin texture but flavorful bite started the meal on the right step. The mussels with Frits were simply prepared with white wine. Portions were large compared to my expectations. If you're not particularly hungry consider sharing the order. Lastly the chicken breast with (pasta) was lackluster. A wine based sauce gently covered the chicken but the bird lacked seasoning and tasted dry. The redeeming item was the pasta that together with the chicken tastes better than the individual pieces. read more

I have to say the service was good not as others wrote The grilled shrimp with basmati rice was fresh & good but the rice was uneatable I would recommend changing it to vegetables or fries The grilled sea bass was fresh and tasty it comes with sliced vegetables that are covered heavily with butter so you might ask them to go light on butter The grilled salmon was good & comes with a side salad with a vinaigrette dressing Over all if you're in the neighborhood and want a descent hot meal go in, but it's not worth taking the time to go to read more

This is by far the worst restaurant that I had dinner at. The staff is overwhelmingly rude. I asked for advice on what I should order and what items gets ordered the most. The waiter told me to get whatever I want, he offered absolutely no help on the food and what they came with. Keep in my mind I am a tourist, I am asking because I am not sure. Also we waited very long to get our drinks and never saw the waiter after we got our food. I'll never eat in this establishment again. It is horrific. I should have gone somewhere else. SAVE YOUR MONEY, DO NOT COME HERE. read more

I can't believe to this. Its an expensive place to have dinner but looks like everything ( dishes, glasses and cups) is dirty. And when you tell them to bring a clean one they bring another dirty and with spots glass... im just terrified about this. Cause its right on Champs-Élysées and its like this??????? Shame on them. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

Everyone who mentioned how bad the service was...was spot on. No need to explain more, just don't go.

Restaurant right on Champs-Elysées. They have a set menu where you can either do an appetizer and an entree, or an entree and a dessert for ~20euros per person. The menu is advertised outside the restaurant, but when you sit down, it is not on the regular menu, but you can ask for it. We got French onion soup as our appetizer and then I got the fish with jasmine rice and my friend got the roast chicken. The French onion soup was great, very flavorful, not too salty, plenty of cheese, and a large portion. My fish was very tender but very flavorless, and then only flavors on the plate were a butter sauce and raw green onions, so even if you mixed it together, it wasn't the best. My friend's chicken was dry, even though it was served with a sauce and mashed potatoes. The servers were also rushing around the entire time even though it wasn't too too busy, so there was a bit of a hectic atmosphere. Overall, it didn't seem worth the price. read more

I'm torn between 3-4 stars, but I have high standards so I'll stick with 3. Another restaurant with only meat options.. Looks just like a generic restaurant without much personality. We had the 2 course meal for a set price. I had the fried breaded veal which was tasty but missing something. It was spiced with fresh dill which went together nicely actually. The potatoes were pretty good. The chocolate cake disnt wow, but we had it to go so it may have been better fresh. If you're around, this isn't a bad place to stop by, but I wouldn't specifically make a trip for it. read more
