I redo my review. My wife went and SHE waited…read more (She called when it was time.) About half the people are irritated as they leave here. As I was the first time. But you know what? I am changing my mind by 2 stars. Its a gimmick but I enjoyed it.

I'm going to be the party pooper here but the food was horrible. The line was a bit long at 10pm…read morebut it moved quickly. I didn't mind the wait if the food was good, but it wasn't the case for me. The mustard dressing salad was ok but the steak was so dry and I could eat only 3 slices. The waitress was very nice. She encouraged me to eat more but I just couldn't. I told her that I would skip the second plate. She actually packed the leftover for me but the food which didn't taste good then wouldn't taste good later, either. I had a bite of the steak later but I still didn't like it. The wine also tasted like water. We just laughed how bad everything was. This place is popular among tourists and I fell for it. Anyway I thought I should share my experience.

The geeen salad was fresh, citrusy, mixed with a spicy mustard & horseradish sauce. The steak was tender, moist, a matter of magnificence. The frites were real potatoes, crunchy but soft in the middle..Use salt & pepper to your liking. The bread was also great, mopping up the nice tangy & herbal sauce. We had 2 desserts. Party of 4. I had 2 glasses of wine. 164 Euros. Solid deal for Paris. It would cost a lot more in the USA. My only reason for a 4 is it's a long wait if you don't queue early. 1 hour. But well worth it.

We topped it off with a delicious dessert with crème which was French Toast delight. A cozy rustic wood themed spot perfectly matching the cuts of meat. However, best of all was Charles.

The focaccia through us off a little but . But it was good.

Not sure how to rate here. I'll ponder as I write…read more Let's start with the good. And when I say "good," I mean GREAT. The food here is magnificent. Top shelf. Every single thing we ate (and there were many things) was mind-blowingly delicious. There were cocktails (and mocktails!): a Last Word (Monkey 47 gin, Green Chartreuse, Luxardo, lime) for him and a Golden Pear mocktail for me. Both were outstanding and we each had two. We had the Beefy Bravas--a mille feuille potato topped with beef tartare and caviar--the Tobiko Crab Salad, and the Thai Salad (with seared toro, it's easily the best Thai papaya salad I've ever had). All were bonkers awesome. For our meat course, the husband got the Wagyu Picanha (all evidence points to it being a remarkable piece of beef) and I got the veal filet. The veal was one of the tenderest, most delicious pieces of meat I've ever eaten. The haricots beets we got as a side were crisp and sweet, and the pommes purées were otherworldly (complimentary). This is where the good part stops. The atmosphere of the restaurant was fine. But it was HOT. It is unusually hot in Paris this week but it was stifling inside the restaurant. But we could have dealt with that (the food was that good). The really disappointing part, however, was the service. We waited 20 minutes for anyone to ask if we wanted drinks (the restaurant was not crowded) and another 25 for someone to ask if we wanted to order. For context, a couple who arrived 10-15 minutes after us got a bottle of wine and their first course before the server--the same server for both tables--ever came to take our order. And it was like that throughout the meal. It's a shame, too, because the meal was exceptional otherwise. The service was bad enough that we won't return.

came here on the recommendation of a french friend…read more not sure what to expect. arrived here at around 4.30pm and was pretty empty. was politely told their kitchen won't open till 6.30pm. wasn't sure if I could last so long, to be honest. ordered a glass of champagne to start. followed by a mix cheese plate, jamon serrano and some olives. rustic bread basket accompanied them. mainly high bar stools seating, not the best for big groups. especially not when it gets crowded after their kitchen starts churning out tapas. another glass of white and red later, i surprised myself for having stayed so long. almost long enough to order some tapas perhaps? a request to have a look at their kitchen menu was turned down. she will only let me have it at 6.20pm. fine.... when I finally get my hands on it, I immediately ordered at 6.30pm. the carrot beignets and the lamb sweetbreads. not sure what happened after...... tick, tick, tick..... i was pretty sure i was the first to order? everyone else started to get their food. was patient and waited for a bit before enquiring. a surprised male server looked into it. crickets...... further food arrivals for all patrons around me! enquired again and again with three other ladies including the gal who took my order. finally, my beignets arrived. it was ok but way past my bedtime! alas, the sweetbreads came almost an hour after i initially placed my order, which didn't even come close to any good sweetbreads i've had many times prior! just couldn't bring myself to finish it....... sorry but even though they said they would comp one of my wines(was the champagne), i have already made up my mind that all they will get is a middling grade. not sure if i would recommend them to you. but if you are in the area and needed a tipple, sure, else look elsewhere. p.s. further service recovery in the form of another glass of red was poured my way, perhaps a little too late?

They used to have a restaurant in NYC and in my office building but covid killed it. Nice that it's near our hotel in Paris. Service was wonderful and our waitress was a doll. In true French fashion, we sat at a communal table with others which was luckily not a problem. Older, French architecture with a very steep and winding staircase to the upstairs bathroom. Character. The only reason why this isn't a 5 star instead of the 4 star is because the quality of the steak. I had several pieces that I had to spend extra time in chewing. Decent salad with their mustard type dressing. Fries are soooo good. The steak could be better but the butter green sauce helps a lot. Very good. Can't pass on this legend and you should dine here at least on one evening.

Good to go once. But it's really no big deal…read more I've heard about this place for years and have had several friends wax nostalgic about the menu-less restaurant that served steak and fries. After a 1:15 hour lineup on a Wednesday night, we finally sat down. Started wjth a pleasant walnut salad and I particularly liked the volume and taste of the salad dressing. It featured wasabi like mustard flavour. Bread didn't come with anything and was unremarkable Next came two generous servings of frites (delicious and cooked well) and average quality beef sirloin in a unique but oddly brown sauce. You have a choice of steak doneness. A point is close to medium rare (touch higher) and is the right way to go. The cut is thin and it's smothered in sauce that will continue to cook it. It's also placed above candles to maintain temperature. Aside from the history it's a fairly pedestrian steak. It's basically a cut of average quality meat smothered in a sauce that wouldn't be necessary if the cut of meat was better. Service felt like it was a cafeteria staff dressed in French maid outfits. It was quick and we were in and out in 45 minutes. Such is the speed of having a single set menu. Note, it says that no shorts are allowed but they served plenty of people wearing shorts.

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

This place feels like a Foie Gras specialist but also, a tourist destination. Over 80% of the…read morepatrons here were tourists. As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.
