AMAZING. Had the Paris 66 crepe. Prepared perfectly. Flavorful well balanced dish. Crepe was perfect and being buckwheat I expected maybe little dry but not this one. Had to order frites. Sauce was interestingly delicious. My niece had the Bastille and the doll taste was not over powering as sometimes fill can be. Highly recommend. read more

Saturday evening, my Wife and I had the pleasure of eating at Paris 66. It had been a long week and we deserved something special. I knew we had made the right choice when I called to make sure I could get reservations and Stephanie was pleasant and efficient and said she could fit us in. Upon arriving, everyone greeted us with smiles and Bon Jours. We were led to a lovely table for 2. My wife started with the Crevettes flambés a l'anis. The shrimp was dome perfectly and the touch of star anise complimented it well, without being overwhelming. I had the foie gras. It was tender and flavorful, but the fig bread and onion jam that accompanied it almost stole the show. Next the waiter brought a palate cleanser, which was zucchini foam that left us licking our lips and trying to figure out all of the flavors so that we might have some hope of duplicating this shot of deliciousness at home. For entrées, the wife opted for the Steak-Frites, which was cooked exactly medium rare. The béarnaise was silky and brought out the natural flavors of the steak. I had been recommended the Boeuf Bourguignon, and while I was reluctant to have something as simple as pot roast when there were so many adventurous options to choose from, it was the owner himself who recommended it. I figured who would know better than him. I am glad I listened. It is amazing how a masterful chef can take and elevate something simple into something so memorable. You could see the attention to detail in everything; even the potatoes were sculpted identically so they would cook equally. To accompany our entrées, we split and order of Cauliflower Gratin which was delicate addition to our meal. A sort of "whisper of flavors" that you would pause to eat slowly to make sure you didn't miss anything. As we sat there discussing everything we had just eaten, we both realized how comfortable we felt. We hadn't even noticed how warm and welcoming the space was. We felt like we had been transported somewhere else and had been welcomed with open arms. Watching the families dine around us, it felt like we were regulars who had been visiting for years. We just wished we had left room for dessert. Oh well, I am sure there will be a next time. read more

Excellent ambience, almost like being in Paris again. Great food, loved our entrees and had a great chocolate mousse for dessert. Wine selection was really superb. Will definitely be returning in the near future. read more

Very costy. Two people spend more than 100, but the quality of dish does not match up. Squash Soup way too salty. Duck Brest very very ordinary but charged for $35. Snail is kind of tasteless. read more

Seafood Bouillabaisse: It was phenomenal!!! Thanks to my man Darren for bringing me here for my late birthday and for buying me a box of their excellent macaroons to go. The fried artichokes were killer as well. Loved the service too. read more

A fine french food ,every dish is was with the accurate amount of spices and ingredients and right texture,the music was great and the staff was professional and kind,I will definitely will get back thre on my next visit at Pittsburgh. read more

I can only speak of the quality of the brunch food here- but it definitely hit the spot! The traditional French food was sweet, included a berry crepe, eggs, and a beautifully crispy chocolate croissant- plus the coffee was incredible. The ambience and knowledge of the staff made this place a little slice of France a slice of heaven. The outdoor patio was nice, but a bit small and cramped. And while a bit expensive, I definitely am looking forward to visiting again soon- and I'll try to get a table inside. read more

Service and atmosphere were a 5, my buckwheat crepe was a little dry. Very authentic preparation

Ha the specials (rack of lamb and scallops) along with escargot and dessert. The people could not have been nicer, the ambiance was phenomenal!!! We will definitely be back soon!!! Thanks for a great evening!!! read more

wow - several hundred dollars later and I left the restaurant hungry. I hate writing this but in this economy I have to warn others. Overpriced for what you get - portions are very small and everything is a la carte. They are trying to be something they are not. SLOW service - 3 hours to feed our table on a slow wednesday night? We were starving and had to ask for more bread. Avoid the salmon - it is dry - the risotto was inedible and dry, the coffee only lukewarm, steak and fritte good but expensive for what you get. Shrimp and pasta lacked flavor and had WAY too much butter - Lovely server but slow slow slow. Macarons good but I can get them elsewhere.(the ones from the French bakery in Millvale are larger and more reasonably priced) I was so excited to come for dinner - so disappointed. Chairs on deck in back are terribly uncomfortable when you spend three hours seated on them. Please put cushions on them Not sure I would ever go back and I love french cuisine. Please reconsider your prices - even our expensive dessert crepe was lacking. So sad. so very sad this was not a good dining experience. Even sadder that no one asked if we enjoyed our meal. Loved it when it was just crepes and salad place - now.....not so much. Back to the french bistro in Sewickley when the urge for french food strikes again. Sad, sad, sad. I really wanted to love it! read more

Two 5-star reviews in a row, and both very well deserved. Me and my husband took our moms here last weekend to celebrate their birthdays. My mom is a francophile. She majored in French in college and she's still fluent to this day. She loves anything and everything French. She loved everything about this place (and so did I). All the waiters and waitresses speak French, some of them are definitely from France. They greeted us en Francais when we walked in saying "Bon soir!" So Mom got to parles Francais which rarely happens. The food was outstanding, everything from the appetizers to dessert. But the atmosphere is what bumped the review up to 5 stars. Expensive, very expensive, but so worth the money when celebrating something special. read more

Pricey, but delicious spot for brunch. Cozy, heated, and covered porch with antique tin French ads on the wall. Crepes and croissants were delicious. Side of bacon for $2 was massive and served three people. Poached eggs with blue cheese and tomato were rich and savory. My main complaint is that at an upscale eatery like this, it's a bit of a shocker to get a wine glass filled with orange juice from concentrate. Don't be cheap, serve real orange juice that's not from concentrate. Fresh squeezed would make it a five star review. read more

I expected so much more considering the great reviews. The food was average at best yet $30 a plate. Service was good, ambiance was good, but the food left a LOT to be desired. I absolutely would not suggest. If you're looking for a delicious night out, try somewhere else. Also, I've had the duck in Paris and it was just not the same. If this place cut the price in half, I'd possibly recommend it. read more

I like this tiny place.Nice atmosphere and good food. Prices are fair.

Our visit on Nov. 17, 2013 was our 2nd time at Paris 66--the first some 3 or 4 years ago. This time for brunch before the Sunday Matinee at the opera, the last was a lunch with friends and their two five year-old children. Both experiences memorable. Paris 66 does very well what it sets out to do--provide the experience of a Parisian bistro. Well crafted, hearty, non-fussy fare dedicated to the memory of grand-mère. This recent brunch visit gave the four of us the chance to sample across the menu. Spinach and salmon omelette, two varieties of eggs Hollandaise, French toast with bananas. All were equally successful. Café au Lait served first in a small cup, and the second as requested in a larger bowl (perhaps later the full Parisian bowl, sans handle)!. read more

I love the French accents, and the food has been really good both times I have been.

The food and service were so good, we returned the following morning for brunch. If you chose one place to eat, make sure it is here.

Service was excellent. Food was great. I had the foie gras appetizer and the salmon crepe for dinner. The foie was really tasty. It's worth going back just for that. The salmon crepe was good. A friend at the table has the escargot it was excellently prepared. The whole night was a lot of fun. read more

After emailing the owners, we received a gift certificate for $50, which we used on Sunday brunch today. We used Open Table to make online reservations and we brought our 2 children ages 8 and 10. We were greeted at the door, seated immediately, and the food came out fast and was delicious. Conor was our server and he did a fabulous job. read more

I had a great experience at this place, servers are extremely nice and have a beautiful accent! The food is really good and would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

Paris 66 has been getting better over time rather than--as so many restaurants do-- coast on a reputation. Each of our party of 5 enjoyed well-prepared entrees, found a wine to his/her liking, never felt rushed and loved that our French waitress, Marie, indulged in banter en francaise with great good humor, letting us believe that our bad college French was better than i'm sure it actually was. read more

Love, love, love this place! I lived for a year in Shadyside very close to this place and I went for brunch numerous times! I have had almost everything on the menu - the crepes are great, the eggs even better and the pastries are also good! I will admit I have only had brunch here and highly recommend it for brunch. Usually very good service, we never make reservations and are still seated within 15 minutes, typically way less. Enjoy! read more

If your notion of French cooking is urban Parisian haut cuisine in a chic decorated space, then look elsewhere. However, if you've ever been to one of the many small, family owned bistros not only in Paris but throughout the country where the food is always superb, then you have found an authentic representation of that experience right here in Pittsburgh. Paris 66 is the true article. It's housed in a nineteenth-century shop which originally was Henne Jeweler's. The kitchen is in the front, intimate seating is inside, and there's an all-weather patio in the back. When you enter you're immediately given the traditional French "bonjour" and the Gallic atmosphere never stops after that. We've been coming here for over ten years and have never had a bad meal. Our lastest visit was for our twenty-third anniversary, and Renaud out did himself. By now I've hardly sat down when he brings out a Sazerac made with all French ingredients, even the whiskey. And always a Sancerre for my wife. To begin I had a foie gras in a rich plum sauce. I can't describe it except to say its the real thing (no chicken livers here) imported from France. My main course was a lamb shank that was tender and juicy that told me it had been simmered all day. My wife loves the trout in a buttery lemon sauce. We always ask Renaud to choose a wine which best compliments our meal, and he never fails to please. He knows his French wines! The desserts are made in house: crème brulé, les gâteaux, macarons, etc. Finally after dinner, Renaud invariably comes up with an unusual (and exquisite) liqueur recently acquired from France which is unavailable (or extremely hard to find) in the US. We always leave with warm hearts and grateful feelings, as if we been to a dinner party with friends. Parking used to be a problem, until we discovered we could park at the Giant Eagle lot across the busway and RR tracks. It's just a five minute walk from there. We love this place and would (like others) give it six stars if we could. read more

I have given this place two tries in the last year and was disappointed both times. The food is underwhelming and over priced. The last time I went for dinner I had that evening's special, cassoulet. It was too salty, not very hot, and just not very good. For $25.00 I expected something much better. The service is on par with the food. As far as I could tell we were our waitress's only table yet we rarely saw her. It took 15 minutes to get drinks, about 35-40 minutes to get entrées after we finished our appetizers, and after we were finished, about 25 minutes to get the check and leave. We also noticed, while waiting for our entrées, that the other tables got baskets of bread with their appetizers. When we asked the waitress about it it was clear she completely forgot and really didn't care. As another reviewer said, this place seems like its trying a little too hard with theme park decor, overdone bonjours, and apparently, teaching the wait staff the French art of insouciance. There are better options for French cuisine in the city, don't waste your time here. read more

I really wanted to like this place more. The ambiance and everything is so romantic and cozy but that can't save the review. I ordered La Bastille (spinach, mushroom and bechamel with dill creme fraiche) and was not at all impressed or satisfied with my lunch. The crepe itself was extremely thick, chewy and somehow dry. The filling was bland and I basically ate it because it was $13. read more

First, this place is light-years ahead of either location of Crepes Parisiennes. Managed to make it here this past Saturday for dinner. The wait was rather long, but I would say worth it. The savory crepe filled with ham, Swiss cheese, mushrooms, a fried egg, and tomatoes was excellent. You get either soup or salad with it, and I opted for the ham and corn soup which was good. I did not get to try any of the sweet crepes, but I saw people just coming in for desert. They do have daily specials in addition to the crepes, but they were all sold-out by the time I arrived. I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

Fine French food is rare in Pittsburgh. Fairly authentic, the food was predictable but excellent. The setting is nice, a relatively small joint in East Liberty, and the service was very good. My cocktail was tasty, and the onion soup was well made but somewhat generic in the brown crock with melted cheese all over a-la chain restaurants. I had the rabbit which was delicious but had been sitting out and wasn't hot when it arrived. My wife's filet mignot was hot though, and very tasty, a perfect medium rare. For dessert the cremè brûlée was excellent. Our waitress was great, helpful but not too intrusive. This place is great if you want to experience some French cuisine in Western PA. read more

I was brought here for brunch by my daughter and husband yesterday for my birthday. I've been several times for dinner and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Yesterday however, we had Mary as our server. She was not interested in doing her job, she wanted to spend her morning talking with the hostess. She brought us our coffee, without cream or spoons. When we asked for them she seemed put out. We got our food in less that 5 minutes, which is never a good sign that it's made fresh. We all order the Paris 66 brunch. The eggs were scrambled, and cold, not provencal, the croissant was stale and the crepe had redi-whip in it with no berries. We tried to get her attention to ask her about the breakfast, but she never returned to our table, so we ate the food. My husband tried numerous times to get a refill on his coffee, without luck. When she came over to take our places away, I told her that the meal wasn't to our liking and she thought I was kidding. When she realized I wasn't she became rude and gave us our check. She did say sorry, but she wasn't. She never acknowledged my birthday, never sent anyone to the table to ask us what was wrong, and totally ruined by birthday brunch. I will never return here for brunch, I may go back for dinner, but skip this place for brunch if you want good food and service!!!! read more

We just finished dinner and stopped by Paris 66 for dessert. We were greeted by a friendly, congenial staff. Free valet parking. Each of us had his or her own crepe with coffee. The coffee cups were unobtrusively refilled over and over. We sat and chatted for hours. Forget the fact that you are greeted in French; even without that, this place has the European "you've got the table for the night" feel. All in all, it was a delightful experience. By the way, the smells wafting out of the kitchen made all of us agree to return there for dinner. We'll be back soon. read more

I dig there sunday brunch menu. Ive been a few times. Chocolate croissant and coffee are really good. I would also recommend the salmon omlette and the french toast. read more

My fiance and I went for a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We had a very pleasant experience, with a bill under $20. I was the big spender, with a refreshing, blood orange flavored French soda, and a goat cheese, olive French pizza with a nice little side of hot French onion soup. The pizza was quite tasty and flavorful, with a buttery, flaky pastry crust. The soup's bread topping was a little soggy, but warm and cheesy nonetheless. My fiance ordered espresso, which he said was better in quality than similar spots. He also ordered the Versailles crepe, which consisted of just butter and sugar. He said it was delicious, though he was a bit disappointed in the relatively small selection of sweet crepes. Our waiter, Jason, was friendly and capable. I really liked the decor of the restaurant, which has fairly limited seating. When crowded, however, it was quite noisy. The restaurant is BYOB, and I am planning on going back for dinner quite soon. read more

I was here November 2011. What an authentic french experience! The waiter even greeted me in french. The food was magnifique! You got to try la crème brûlée here. C'est l'endroit mes amis. read more

Love it here, especially the French accents. I've been going here for over a year, about once every 4-6 weeks, and have never had a bad experience. Went last night for my birthday dinner and for some reason they were slammed, but food didn't take long and service was good. The macaroons are excellent, get some to go! read more

This place is literally as good as it gets! Amazing food. Great ambiance. All of the aspects of Paris in Pittsburgh. Id eat there daily if I lived closer. read more

My wife and I had a really great experience at Paris 66 over Valentine's Day weekend. We went for the prix fixe menu and were not disappointed. The restaurant seemed authentically French with the kitchen and waitstaff communicating with each other in French, but it wasn't over-the-top. The dinner started out with a crostini that consisted of a goat-cheese filled puff pastry and a whipped sweet-potato cinnamon pear dish. Both were excellent and unique. I had the foie gras two-ways for an appetizer. The brulee was excellent, and the au chocolat was so so; the walnut bread both were served with was a perfect complement to the foie gras. My wife had a puff pastry with scallops and shrimp which she enjoyed. For the main course, I had a perfectly cooked lamb shank with a delicious dark gravy, served with brussels sprouts and truffle mashed potatoes. There was a disparity in temperature between the very hot lamb and the nearly cold brussels sprouts that I didn't find enjoyable, but overall the dish was very good. My wife had a seafood dish that looked good but small. Dessert really shined as my wife had something frozen that they flambeed at the table with Grand Marnier. It was quite good. I had a chocolate lava cake that was accompanied by a raspberry whipped cream. Both desserts were executed perfectly and were the perfect ending to a great meal. read more

I just walked in for a cup of coffee and a croissant....and left with more! The croissant was amazing! I also got the blueberry tart and it was "melt-in-your-mouth" wonderful. The tart was $9 which surprised me, but after eating it, I would probably pay that again...it was that good! I do believe you get what you pay for here. Can't wait to go back and actually sit down to eat. Also, I loved that everyone I talked to was French! read more

Bad service and bad food. We were excited to get another creperie especially one with a better atmosphere than the Shadyside Crepes Parisiennes, until we ate there. I liked the buckwheat crepes, but the leeks were stalkie, more like fibrous lemon grass. Not sure how they accomplished that. Raw ones would be more palatable. Service was awful. All right, so 2 chefs, at least 3 servers, and both owners were there and its not a big place maybe seating for 25 inside. We waited for 10 minutes for a glass of water and a server who happened to finally notice no one was helping us. We were seated in the most obvious table in the middle of the room. I don't think the owners seem to see themselves as part of the team which is a mistake. We have only been there once and I will try them again. Others who have gone say pretty much the same thing about the service and disorganization. Too bad, I want them to succeed. Don't see that happening though. read more

Dinner on a Wednesday was great -- excellent food and attentive but not overbearing service. Parking a bit of a problem.

My wife and I made reservations at Paris 66 this weekend. We had been there before, thoroughly enjoyed it, and wanted to go again. So we showed up on time, were shown to our table promptly, and waited. There were two or three tables around us that had been recently seated as well. The table to our right ordered a bottle of wine. We waited. The table behind us got to hear all about the appetizers. The frog legs and escargot sounded delicious. We waited. The table that ordered the wine's server returned, apologized that they were out of the year the table had ordered but they had a bottle from the next year, it was just as dry, and she was sure it was a fine substitute. They all had a good laugh. We waited. We were seated directly beneath a patio heater, which was quite hot, and a glass of water would have been nice. The two or three servers attending to the tables around us could have stopped by, asked us if we needed anything, maybe brought us some water. But we waited. Finally, I waved down one of the servers that had been waiting on the tables around us for the past ten minutes and asked if we could see our server. Our server finally appeared, apologized that she hadn't been told we were her table, and offered to get us drinks. Mistakes happen; we ordered drinks, and asked if it was possible to move to another table not so close to the heater, which was rather oppressive. She said of course, and moved us to a four top in the corner. Shortly thereafter, the first server (who had ignored us for ten minutes, just to keep servers straight) stopped by and told us we had to move, there was a party of four that needed our table. I told her no. Confused as to why I wouldn't just do what she asked, she disappeared and then came back. Someone else needed the table, our server should have known that (do they tell these poor servers anything?). Despite that the restaurant was half empty and there were several tables they could have seated the other party at, they specifically needed our table for some reason. I explained that we had waited at length for the server, had been ignored, had finally been reseated and that if this was their version of service it was very poor. She insisted someone else needed the table. Arguing with waitstaff over the poor service you're receiving so that the next table and every table all around you could receive better service seemed like a self defeating enterprise, so we left. On our way out, we passed by the manager. He was speaking to the server who had insisted we change tables. He didn't make any effort to apologize, or explain the confusion. Hey, they had a four top coming in. Cha ching. Back in the 90s, I worked as a server at a Chi Chi's, which was famous among other things for serving it's customers tomatoes laced with Hepatitis A that killed a few people (long after I left, may I note). Admittedly not as fancy a place as Paris 66, but the restaurant's policy was that if you walked by a table that looked like they needed something, even if it wasn't your table, you stopped and asked if they needed anything. But that was the 90s, and again, it wasn't nearly as fancy as Paris 66. So I'm sure the table to our right enjoyed their bottle of wine, even though they were probably disappointed it wasn't the vintage they requested. The table behind us may have enjoyed the frog legs, if that's what they ordered. And I'm sure the four top whose table we were seated at was given all the attention that was due to them, and were served in a timely fashion. Us, not so much. read more

Every time we've been here (many), we are pleased. Today was the first brunch. Varied dishes, all presented well, tasty and reasonably priced. Four for brunch for $55 including tip (no alcohol). Have been many times for a quick dinner, a slow dinner, a nice lunch. Go. read more
