    Happy owner not sitting down. On his way home while the joint is still open.

    Ok. I get it. Anthony bourdain. Open fire. Ginormous cuts of beef. French provincial. I can only speak about my experience tonight. I ordered an $85 bottle of wine. It was. A lesser CDP, but it's ok--yes I'm sitting here right now. Escargots. So much sand and dirt, I was crunching it between my teeth. I informed the server--not to gain another order--Just to let her know. So they brought a second half dozen. Less sand but still too much to bear. I make escargot at home. I buy the large burgundy snails. I rinse them, but never in my life. Have I ever seen any send them. Where are they getting these things? From the Seine?? THEN, my ribeye. It looked so attractive on the grill. Honestly, I prefer a striploin because it has some teeth to it, but I ordered the ribeye tonite because it's often among the tenderest cuts and it's among the few things on the menu that is less than 500 grams. Came with haricots vert and potatoes. It's worth mentioning that the grill man was feeding the fire with pieces of pine from packing crates. That's not only cheap wood that releases no real BTUs but being pine it releases sap and other toxins into the food that's cooking above it. Real amateur hour stuff going on here. Anyway, I cut into the steak and took my first bite. My first reaction was that this f'ing thing was never seasoned with salt and pepper. Ok. Maybe it's a Parisian thing ( I don't think so). It was complex unseasoned. And I realized, I was sitting 15 feet from the open fire, and I never once saw the bored chef put salt and pepper on anything. The chew. It was so tough, I think this may have been a rodeo animal. I salted the SOB and tried again. No better. I ate the your-grandmother-overcooked-them green beans and a few of the (yes, unsalted) potatoes and left 3/4 of the leathery meat on the plate and took my bottle of wine to sit at the bar. The owner was sitting there at the end of the bar, exactly in the same place as when I walked in. He's on his laptop, fat and slovenly, and dressed in a down jacket. When I walked in, he didn't even greet me. Some patron did. I was put off. Is this a neighborhood bar? A frat house?? She was sitting next to him and said hello, and that was the end of it. I literally had to find someone to help me find my place, my seat, my anything. So, I walked over to him, and quietly, politely, even sympathetically, told him that the meat was terrible. I went so far as to pull out my phone and showed him pictures of the steaks that I prepared at home, trying to convey to him that I know what I'm talking about. It was lost on him. He grunted. And for the time it took me to finish the rest of my bottle of wine, he glared at me, and discussed with the staff my something or other. This guy is the worst kind of restaurant owner. He doesn't give a damn. He's lazy. And he has no interest and the quality of his product. The restaurant owner doesn't sit down for three hours at the end of the bar, drinking wine, and checking his laptop, while his place is burning to the f'ing ground. To be honest, most of the customers look like college students or perhaps just a little older, and maybe they're not that picky. But I don't consider myself to be picky. I'm just looking for a decent piece of meat that I can chew, and subsequently swallow. It would be nice, too, if I didn't have to do my own seasoning on everything on my plate. I'm not a big salt guy. In fact, my wife and I always argue about whether there's too much salt on the food. On this food, however, there was not a drop of salt and not a drop of pepper. Hint: grilling 101. Season your meat, preferably a couple of hours before it hits the grill. Oh, and by the way that brings up another story. The grill master was slamming a piece of meat on the counter the entire time I was sitting there while he was waiting for the next order. I'm talking 100 times. Picking up a piece of meat, and slamming it down of the counter, just to keep himself occupied. What the hell is that? Is he bored, does he need some kind of relaxation technology? So unprofessional. And I have to say, he looked like he hated his job more than I hated my meal. I cannot imagine any reason in the world to eat here. It's dirty. It's lousy. And did I mention that the food sucks?? Addendum. Prior to posting this review I sent it to the restaurant to give them a fair chance to respond. Well what do you think they did? Yep. They took the offensive and attacked me. I dare say that this is the number one reason that this place is a disaster. Zero introspection. Well, there ya have it.

    Robert et Louis is a historic gem in the Marais district, renowned for its simple yet flavorful French cuisine. The bistro has been around for decades and even hosted Anthony Bourdain in the first episode of *No Reservations*. The rustic execution of their dishes highlights the quality ingredients. We loved the perfectly cooked steak, buttery potatoes, and fresh salad. For appetizers, the blood sausage--though an acquired taste--is a French staple. This cozy spot is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic, time-honored French flavors.

    Steak for Two

    My absolute favorite restaurant in Paris, a third generation family restaurant serving up incredible steaks and meat in an open fireplace kitchen. One of my friends told me about this place and I didn't believe it until I went. And then I went back for dinner every single night for the week that I was there. It's a super old building in Le Marais, run by the grandson of the original owners, Robert and Louise, hence the name. He lives upstairs with his family, and the personal family touches throughout the place just warm my former-family-business-owning heart. Reservations are recommended, but there are usually a couple of seats at the hosting table, which seems like the old family dining room table with bench seating right by the open kitchen. They cook all of the meat in a wood burning fireplace, carefully tended by the owner. The sights and smells are incredible, so I loved sitting right there, mesmerized the by the experience and expertise. The rest of the kitchen is tiny, as the menu is simple. They serve up a few different cuts of steak, along with duck, escargot, and some specials. You get a choice of two out of three sides, green beans, potatoes, and salad. After having literally everything on the menu, the steak for two is definitely the best, but everything is spectacular. My favorite bit is the salt. This this massive chunky gray salt from Guerande, and I highly recommend dousing everything with it. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, it makes you feel like you're family. There's also the basement seating area that is ridiculously cozy. I can't wait to go back on my next trip and feel like I'm coming home.

    I have been here a few times over the years and it is still a favourite! I love the cosiness of this place and the cramped familiarity. The welcome is always by an elderly gentlemen who sits at the bar with a bottle of white wine and oversees the nights proceedings. The fois gras (I know it is not a popular dish for all) is simply amazing. If there is just one place to have it - it is here. I had the entecote and he had the pork. It came with potatoes and a simple salad. Perfectly cooked. Food is simple and freshly grilled and always delicious. Staff are competent and matter of fact. No frills or airs in their service just prompt and direct delivery. I just love it and will return every time I am in Paris.

    Only come here if you are big on steak, organ meats or other heavy red meat. There was very little else for someone looking for something lighter. And don't bother with the salad. It's just lettuce - no other vegetables. The proprietor is very nice, although I don't think he understood that sitting on a tiny bench at the communal table was excruciating. It's one of the reasons we left as soon as we could and didn't linger. The ambience near the open wood flame grill was great. Service was quick and efficient by Parisian standards.

    Loved this restaurant! They have a small kitchen upstairs where they cook the steak over an open fire and the cote de beouf was an incredible bite, with a perfect crust and paired beautifully with their salt and mustard. The escargot and the rest of the sides were really nice too. I will be thinking about that mustard for a long time.

    A very lovely establishment! One you wouldn't think would have a "basement" or "cellar" as additional seating. The service was super friendly and the food was superb! Highly recommend if you're in Paris.

    Amazing entrecôte with potatoes and beans
    Evan D.

    Amazing grilled meats at a very reasonable price. Loved both the duck and the entrecôte. Salad was good, snails were excellent and the potatoes and green beans were great too. Service was efficient and polite enough and it's a really neat old space with the visible wooden grill and the wood beams. Really neat to see the owner sitting in the corner chatting folks up and helping people with searing. Absolutely loved it -- will return

    "Un des meilleurs repas de ma vie." One of the best meals of my life. The meat. Oh, how I will dream of the meat. Red and succulent. Cooked on a grill over an open flame. Basically how they'd have done it in a kitchen like that 500 years ago. And the place looks about 500 years old, in the very best ways, like stepping back in time. A reminder of what makes Paris the greatest city in the world: that the past lives in the present. A last note about the service. We've had a meal at a dozen different restaurants in Paris. Service was mostly OK. Here, it felt like we were family.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Robert et Louise! We entered just after our reservation time and were led to our downstairs table and provided a menu. It soon a few minutes for the busy staff to get to us but we enjoyed the hustle and bustle in this very uniquely decorated restaurant. Although the staff seemed to be flying about, when they came to see us, they focused on us and our needs. We didn't know the wines and my spouse wanted a Pinot noir so the waiter quickly got her a sample - he could have upsold us to a more expensive bottle but said the least expensive was very good and he was right. We tried the escargot (really good - lots basil paste) and mushrooms (delicious) as starters. For mains we had the shrimps (very very tasty) and the steak (their specialty). The steak is cooked over a small wood burning fire that you can watch if you are seated in the right spot. We had a glass of Armagnac as a digestif and the bartender even slid me a little extra once it was gone. Just a great experience!

    What can I say ... this restaurant is amazing !!! Walked in for our 6:30 reservation and were seated right away and greeted nicely by the guys in perfect English ... menu was also given to us in English ... the open fire grill is the star attraction here and the action is fast !!! We started with a foie gras that was creamy and perfect ... then we tried the escargot and they were perfectly cooked !!! We then shared a big 1kg steak, that was cooked to a perfect medium. Overall we loved the experience and the service. Will come again on the next trip to Paris.

    This is a lovely little establishment. My brother and I had dinner here on the first night we spent in Paris. I did a quick google search for restaurants in/near the 3rd arrondissement and Robert et Louise came up many times. My brother made a quick reservation online and we showed up at the restaurant about 10 mins before it opened for the evening (6pm). Like I said, the restaurant is lovely inside. It has a cozy, rustic feel to it. I felt like I was eating in a place that had some history to it. The waiter asked if we would like to sit by the fire or the window and I foolishly said window. The window seat was fine but I say it was a foolish decision because they cook all of their meats over open flame and we would have had a front row seat to that. I won't make the mistake of not sitting by the fire again. Final note on the atmosphere- We ate upstairs but when I went to use the toilet, I walked downstairs and realized they had an additional dining room down there. The room had a cozy cave vibe to it and I would have been fine with dining down there as well. Now the important stuff- The food was absolutely magnificent. We figured we were in Paris (For the first time, no less!) so we should try some snails. I didn't regret it. They serve them with the classic parsley and butter sauce and they serve them in the shell so you can use a little tool to dig them out. Some people might not like to work for their food but I thought it was a fun, unique experience. Then for my entree I had the duck leg confit. It comes with a side salad and house made potato wedges/fries. The duck was amazing. The best I have ever had. The skin was deliciously crispy and the meat was tender and juicy and flavorful. The meat on the portion was substantial, as well. The side salad was simply lettuce with dressing but the dressing was incredible. It turned simple lettuce into a full and satisfying salad. The potatoes were good but they weren't particularly noteworthy. The service was very friendly. It was mostly young men who were waiting, tending bar, and cooking, and they were all very pleasant and accommodating. When I make it back to Paris, this restaurant is on my list of places that I have to visit again. I can't recommend them enough. We had an excellent time here.

We waited about 20 to 30 minutes, but the line moved steadily and was well managed. The restaurant has a warm, lively Parisian bistro atmosphere. It's busy, energetic, and tables are close together, which adds to the authentic charm. The menu couldn't be simpler. They only serve a green salad with walnuts, steak, and unlimited fries with their famous secret sauce. Everything was delicious. The salad was fresh, the steak was cooked perfectly, and the sauce really is as good as everyone says. I also loved that they automatically bring a second serving of steak and fries. Don't skip dessert. The profiteroles were absolutely amazing and the perfect way to end the meal. Considering the quality of the food, the generous portions with the second serving, and the iconic experience, I thought it offered good value for Paris. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the city.

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 limoncello was especially refreshing on that hot day. Please note, I did have to request ice for my water. Evidently in Europe most restaurants don't provide ice freely like in the US.

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.

    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?

    Seems like a very popular stop but I was very confused by the menu with mostly asian influenced…read more Perhaps it should be called fusion tapas not french tapas. Menu items like... (Also photo attached) Shitake Mushroom w/ Soysauce - Japanese Tempura - Japanese Miso Salmon - Japanese Grilled Shrimp w Coconut and Lime - Thai? Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese Pork Belly Siracha.. Duck Tataki w/ Soysauce.. I don't know, do they use use typical asian sauce to stand out in Paris wine bar scene? I ordered the Grilled Lettuce Cesar style (least asian looking lol), basically a Caesar salad but with 4 leaf only. Also tried the Tempura Asparagus and Green Pea (because it's asparagus season) asparagus was skinned, lost its texture somehow. Green Pea fell apart every single bite with the batter. At least the foam form Hollandaise sauce was interesting. Had 3 wine by the glass, was great. Enjoyed white wine the most. But that's really it.

    By reading the reviews you know the drill here. I kinda like not having to decide what I want to…read moreeat, once in a while, and just have them bring you the meal. 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.
