I can't say I would recommend Wepler. While the French Onion Soup was flavorful, cheesy and good, the overall experience was underwhelming. Service was particularly disappointing, I often found myself waiting for our server's attention while he repeatedly walked by without acknowledging us. The half roasted chicken entrée was tasteless and was supposed to come with potatoes, but they were missing and it took nearly ten minutes to get anyone's attention to have them brought out. The dessert we wanted, Crepe Suzanne flambé was unavailable so I ordered Floating Island which was a light custard and almonds added. The Bordeaux wine was just okay not where I would order the whole bottle. The ambiance- well lit and we were seated immediately. What stood out most was that not much attention was paid to us until we were leaving and I specifically asked for the name of our server. Overall, the experience was just okay, not what I expected from dining in Paris. The appearance of the restaurant was just okay, nothing wow'd me. read more

Service was really good, food was okay. We had the burgers and shrimp cocktail. We requested the burgers medium. They were pink inside but cold so are the outer and left the middle. Shrimp/Prawns were large and tasty. Close to metro and shops read more

It's nearly two years since the last visit. Simply the best place for seafood at reasonable prices in Paris. Had to get the crafted Gillardeau oysters and sole for the main meal. To top it off, I had to get the profiteroles for dessert topped with thick hot chocolate. Service was ok. Hostess was gracious. read more

Seafood platter is amazing, granting I was used to seafood from the States...(fresh as frozen), but here--the taste was ultra different. It was worth our time to spend in a cold night in Paris. I was definitely impressed by how packed this place was after 10pm. Their location is right in the middle of the city. The restaurant appeals to more of like a special occasion type of dinner. We also had their set-menu so we can try out appetizers to the chocolat mousse. The service was not as quick, but then again--it's Paris (they like to take their time). So while in Paris, we had to adjust our time-expectations, period. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a typical Parisian/French dinner. read more

Went here twice during our June France trip. First it was part of our Rick Steve's tour. Dinner: The restaurant was quite busy with locals and that is always a good sign. Kir was an excellent predinner cocktail. The service was professional and very good. Food was also very good. We went again during lunch after our tour ended. Again the food was excellent. Their French Onion soup (yes a cliché) was very good. Our three teenage boys wanted to sure that they had this once during our trip. read more

So, my partner and I came here on our first night in Paris. It was within walking distance of our hotel and happened to be one of the only places open. We weren't sure how good it would be as it was a split decision and last option but to our surprise, it was absolutely amazing. And ended up being our favorite restaurant experience in Paris. We ordered the Prefix which came with French Onion Soup, Duck Confit/Normandy Rumpsteak with green peppercorn sauce. For dessert we had the grand cru and a seasonal pear/apple tart.... *Chef's Freakin' Kiss* It was all absolutely amazing!! We look forward to returning on our next trip to Paris! read more

Stopped for petit dejeuner on our last visit and found this spot both reasonable and satisfying. The price for breakfast with eggs was 7,5€ but lunch prix fixe prices jumped to 30+€ we enjoyed our spot on the street and while the waitstaff was busy, they were attentive and more staff came on for the lunch rush. read more

Historic institution. Thursday's, between 7-9 pm, it's hûitres HH, and for prix of 6, one gets 6. Everyone seems to order from the hûitrerie here. Me, I had some snails and onion soup. Garçon totally forgot about my soupe, and I had to lodge a complaint. Tony Bourdain ate here. So easy cuz so close to Moulin Rouge and its ilk. And opens past midnight too! read more

Experience here was great - my avocado tartare and onion soup were delicious. My dinner companion (who was raised in Paris) had the steak tartare (something he had looked forward to for years away from Paris), and he described his meal as perfect. Strangely for Paris, we had the hovering waiter who filled our water glasses non-stop and must have asked four times how our food was. But not taking off anything for the extra attention! read more

Friendly and helpful service, and a waiter that spoke English perfectly, with ok food. My Normandy strip steak, bearnaise sauce on the side, was good. Daniel's plate of miscellaneous pork and sauerkraut w/potatoes was a mixed bag; he enjoyed the pork, particularly the knuckle, but the "hot dog" did not impress. The massive shellfish tray was "for one" but definitely shareable among a group. The little tiny shrimps ("sea cockroaches", as my wife called them) were a bit unpleasant, though that didn't stop Ori from wolfing then down anyways. Sophie was happy to down a lot of oysters. read more

Great Restaurant sea food amazing ,nice Oyster great atmosphere in La Plaza De Le Cliché .

This place was really yummy. We started off with a dozen oysters, Foie gras and escargots. We were in heaven. Best escargots I ever had. Then one guest ordered fish and chips, said very just ok but had the dark meat from the blood vein that made that made the fish taste bad. My dish was a blue Filet Mignon. I stressed I wanted it blue. Seeing how it was one of the most expensive item on menu I should get it how I want. It arrived well done. I don't like to complain so I ate it. The sauce was excellent. My other friend ordered duck. His to was over cooked but the sauce was outstanding We had still water and three cokes. Total bill 180 euros. I don't mind spending that kind of money if you get what you want. Service was so so. Or should I correct that, not to be seen. read more

Chose to have our last supper at this place based on Anthony Bourdain's experience. We stayed with seafood (platter for 2 at €160) and we were absolutely satisfied. Snails, mussels, oysters, shrimp, langoustine, Lobster: fresh and tasty. Well worth every Euro. This is a old school dining place with waiters clad in white aprons and vests. Service is outstanding and the view of the Place de Clichy from our window side table was the best. read more

Here is another "back in time" meal that I will review. I went here years ago with my (then) wife and (still) daughter - and it was great. I read other people's negative reviews of this place and I want to smack them. This is an amazing place. First off - the raw seafood here is as good as I have ever had. I must have eaten 30 oysters. Secondly, every other dish I ate, from cold to hot, was delicious. And the place was packed with people and energy. This is the quintessential Parisian restaurant - filled with locals and tourists alike, many who are drunk and want to talk. We had a great time here. read more

I read some tourist book that said this place had some of the best onion soup in the city. It certainly was good but I don't know if it was the greatest onion soup I've ever had. Great place for a late lunch though. I wanted to be a bit healthier for this meal so I opted for the salmon and pasta which was really hearty and filling. My wife got the tartare trio. Raw beef, salmon and veal. Veal was a very, very distant third and wasn't really touched after a couple of bites but the other 2 were outstanding. I noticed most of the patrons going for massive plates of raw oysters so I guess they're good here. Too bad my wife and I would rather eat a foot than those. read more

Nice restaurant that is known for good sea food, so our expectations were high. Shrimp, which they label as Prawns on the menu, was overcooked and extremely overpriced. The escargot was over coated w pesto sauce. The cheese was good. We decided not to order main plates because the appetizers were so disappointing. Weird that this restaurant's food was not good as every table was filled. Service was just "eh." Would not recommend. read more

This was by far, our worst, most expensive, and last meal in Paris for our honeymoon. To briefly summarize, we came on New Year's Eve as a suggestion from our hotel to try the seafood. When we got there, we opted to not get the seafood since it was a large portion & decided try their à la carte options. My husband got the French Onion soup and the veal. The French Onion Soup was very cheesy to the point that it was overwhelming, but he enjoyed it up to a certain point. The veal was under seasoned and was very lackluster that he did not bother to finish half of it. I also tried a piece of it and agreed. I ordered the scallop and squid ink risotto and thought it was pretty good. As a disclaimer, your teeth will turn black. Now on to the bad, we had paid for our bill in cash (which was already inclusive of the 15% service charge), but our waiter pocketed the cash and did not give us the 7 euros back in change initially. We waited around for about 5 minutes and we called him out on it to give us our money back. He did eventually comply, but it left a sour taste on the whole experience. None of the other cafes tried to pull this on us during our 6-day stay here. I think since this restaurant was visited by Anthony Bourdain on his layover in Paris, is right next to the metro stop, and tourists come here, they believe they can pull a fast one on you if you are not paying attention. If you venture out a couple of blocks, there was some VERY good French cafes in the area that are kind, honest, and provide good quality food at more affordable prices. read more

Shell seafood platter @ 35€ - an opportunity not to pass up. Had a lovely platter full of raw oysters, whelk, sea snails, mussels, clams, and raw shrimp. Rarely, have I had such fresh raw seafood where the flavors of each item could be individually relished. Their mignonette was well-balanced and accompanied virtually all the shellfish, save the oysters and shrimp. The whelk had its own distinct flavor that paired perfectly with the house white wine. First time eating raw whelk...a first feeding on my inquisitive tendencies. read more

When they're good, they're very very good, and when they're bad, they're forgetful. Most recently, we had two visits. First visit, really nice. Classic service, great seafood, killer classic desserts very well done. Second time, waiter forgot three items, then was cheesed that we asked him to bring some Chantilly Cream for a dessert that calls for it, and is vacant without it. They don't charge lightly. When they execute well, it's tops and could be more like a five star. When they're pressed, they fall apart, and without apology or remorse. Usually, they're just fine and a good choice, if slightly expensive. Expect the best in classical service-- when they're pressed. This is for a multi-course lunch or dinner, not snacks, and not bistro service. read more

Highly recommended to try their oysters! They were delicious and special!! We did try their grilled onion soup and I gave them a A+! Although they don't speak too much English, service was great and friendly. It was a very enjoyable meal!! read more

After a couple of visits I wanted to make this review. This restaurant is super popular and reservations are a good idea if you want to eat at a particular time in the evening at the weekend. There is always an opportunity to queue for tables if you are relaxed about eating time and it still seats people until after midnight! Oysters. Try the oysters. Good selection and very fresh, I loved the Bretagne No2. The steaks we ate were top quality cuts and cooked perfectly. The whole Dorade fish was also fantastic. The mixed shellfish platters are very showy and an experience in themselves with great quality! What makes this restaurant remarkable is the level of service provided even though it is mostly full to the rafters and super busy! Professional waiters who speak perfect english and appreciate French attempts! Friendly, helpful and took allergy requests very seriously (not always the case in Paris). Put this on your list for an experience when in Paris, especially if you like shellfish and traditional Parisian food. read more

Excellent food and service. They made my wife a delicious Croque Madam, despite it not being on the dinner menu. Our waitress was extremely helpful and spoke perfect English and helped us with our poor attempts at French. read more

My mom, boyfriend, and I tried this place out. It was spectacular!!! Perfection. I was so happy that we came here. It was quite expensive, but I believe that we were paying not just for food, but for the experience. It was delicious and marvelous. I don't care if it was a supposed "tourist trap," as some say, I thought it captured the essence of France. Quoting Will T. from yelp, "I felt like we were in a movie in the restaurant. Everything was so retro and traditional. Red booth and white table cloths." read more

When my cousins' French grandparents suggested meeting here for lunch while I was in Paris, I had a feeling it was going to be among the nicer places we ate while we were there. And I was right. It was set up for lunch the way you'd expect to see an American fine dining establishment set up for dinner. The full table setting, etc. I'm pretty sure it was the only place we ate the entire trip that didn't have a menu in English and/or at least one server who spoke decent English (which isn't a big deal and has nothing to do with my rating, but for my non-French speaking friend it was a little more difficult.) The food, however, was excellent. My friend had the onion soup appetizer, which she really enjoyed but said it was too much cheese. And she's a cheese lover. All four of us ended up with the steak and fries, and it was outstanding. It came with a tasty hollandaise sauce that made me wonder why I don't always eat hollandaise sauce with steak, but then I remembered that they don't always taste that good. I had the cheese for dessert, which was awesome - they bring the platter, and you choose what you want. I had a little bit of everything, which was, of course, WAY too much. But how do you go to France and not have cheese at least once? The prices were pretty high, but the prix-fix menu wasn't too bad. Service was good, but I could see where some Americans might think its snooty. It probably wouldn't have been my first choice of places to have lunch (dinner maybe), but it was definitely good, and it wasn't super busy or loud so we were able to have good conversation. I wouldn't say no to a return, but I probably wouldn't choose it. read more

This typical but authentic French brasserie is located on Place de Clichy, and it looks like it's been there forever, at least I know of it's existence last 10 years. It's close to movie theaters so a lot of people drop by after or before the movie or if you stroll around Paris. Or just go there on intention. The interior is all characteristic, nice cozy red booths, tables at the window that I personally like, little patio outside open during spring and summer to enjoy the delicious lunch or dinner or just a glass of something. I'll begin with the seafood. All is super fresh. And they have also takeaway service if you want to buy oysters and enjoy them at home. There is huge variety of oysters, about 10 different kind. They all have difference in the taste and varieties for the size. You can order #3 which would be medium size or #1 which are huge. My personal favorites would be La Special tres grosse Gillardeau (they are really enormous with delicate taste). If you don't want to bother choosing what exactly you want to eat among Seafood, you can order one of the Seafood Plate they have, there are different options to choose from - smaller sizes for one or two and bigger - for the whole big company or for two if that will be all your dinner meal. Or just go a la carte - there are mussels, bulots (sea snails - so yummy!!!), tourteau (very delicate crab) and a lot more. Of course as in any typical brasserie there are options to get a menu composed to your choice. Which wouldn't be 180-200 € like in some places, but decent - 24.50-34.80 €. But having so much delicacy a la cart I'd prefer to choose all personally. As appetizers if you skipped Seafood like oysters or bulots, try salmon tartar or tartar de boeuf, or carpaccio de boeuf. And for the main... I feel dazzled. Magret de Canard (duck breast) is superb, tete de veau (veal head might sound distastefully, but that's not the right impression), burger Wepler with their fries is really something. Of course cheese selection, but with no cheese cart, just a cheese plate. And for 9 €, not for 30:). And dessert of course. Huge Macaron Citron is amazing, or profiteroles or daily special tart, or assortment of their ice-crème or "glace" as they call it. Pare it with a glass of desert wine. As for the wine itself: the choice of wines by the standards of Michelin star restaurants is not very extensive, but more than decent for a brasserie. For this kind of format is presented maximum varietal and geographic diversity of French wine, for every budget with no large overpayment: from typical Muscadet for 14 € to Batard Montrachet Grand Cru for 280 €. The service is typical for a popular brasserie in Paris. They might forget to bring you bread or water, but if you ask - you'll hear their usual: "j'arrive" and everything will be on your table soon. The waiters are friendly and nice. I'd recommend you make a reservation in advance, cause in the evening time it might be pretty stuffed. Enjoyable experience and definitely recommended. I come back there every time I'm in Paris. If you want simple and delicious food with no overpayment or circus around, it's definitely the place! read more

We were visiting Paris for the week and decided to give this traditional French restaurant a chance. I started with the rabbit pie- it was good but nothing spectacular. It was lacking flavor but was the best thing I ate. The portion size was large for an app. My husband ordered the oysters- they were great. For the main course I had the beef cheeks that came with boiled veggies... BOILED! The residual water from the veggies watered down the sauce making it very bland. The beef itself was very tender but I couldn't get past the flavorless meat. My husband ordered the beef option off the prix fix menu and it was very very tough. It was cooked at rare and it was still very very tough. Overall this was NOT a great choice!!! so many other great options in Paris for much much less. read more

Excellent oysters! Service was ok not overly friendly but prompt. Enjoyed the meal reasonably priced for a good brasserie. read more

If I could give this place a zero, I would. While hubby and I were in Paris, we decided to try this restaurant one night after a long day of sightseeing. We got all dressed up hoping to enjoy our experience only to be disappointed by the rude service. First - we were whizzed over to a corner table next to the only other ethnic couple in the entire restaurant (coincidence??). Then, after waiting over 10 minutes I finally flagged a waiter down to ask if someone could at least take our order. Fast forward another 5-10 minutes and we were finally served. For the remainder of the night, we damn near had to beg to be served food, drinks, you name it. I was beyond annoyed with this place and would not recommend anyone patron this piece of shit restaurant. You all know from my previous reviews that I don't curse at all so you already know my experience here was beyond horrific. There are lots of other great restaurants in the area so avoid this one. In fact, we had wonderful experiences at ALL of the other nearby restaurants that we dined at. This was the only piss poor experience we had while in Paris. Never again. read more

Traditional Parisian Brasserie. The surroundings and décor are classic. The menu is the standard Brasserie fare with a particular emphasis on shellfish as is often the case. The wine list is reasonable and good wine at a good price can be found. The prix fixe menu is a very good deal with good quality food. The service is standard. Unfortunately it can sometimes be very long and slow here. In general it's fine and then... last night we waiting 15 minutes for my coffee and then another 20 minutes for the bill afterwards. Don't be in a rush. Sit back and enjoy the surroundings, the food, the wine and the price. read more

Absolutely horrible service. The wait between starter and main course was over one hour.

One of the worst restaurants in Paris!! Highly praised and total disappointment We went there with our child and we had our baby buggy with us. So they placed usright at the entrance so that we felt like was with child there have been so placed at the entrance, we have felt like klodamen), although many tables were free. Did side by side on the bench like chicken uncomfortable atmosphere, as on a railway station too expensive for poor quality unfriendly staff (4 Waiter) : food was ordered: steak medium, and pasta with salmon we get - raw and tough to eat meat with cold fries and mayo (you better at Mc Donnald!) and cold spaghetti watered with sober Salmon - zero taste read more

Everyone in my party who ate the seafood tower here had vomiting and diarrhea for 2 days after...

What a horrible experience. Walked in to a empty quiet restaurant ordered 2 appetizers and two beers which came in a timely manner. That was the last we saw of our waiter and server. After an hour of not getting our meal and unable to get anyone's attention until after I stood up and waved my arms I asked for the bill and left. Everyone around us had already eaten and left, their excuse was BABY lamb chops are thick and take a long time to cook. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

We stopped in here to escape the snow and because they were supposed to have good onion soup. I thought the soup was okay - pretty cheesy, not that oniony. Service was really snotty. They indicated that we should sit down, and we wanted a table closer to the windows. But the waiter told us that it was a table for three, and we only had two people, so we had to move. Pretty silly, considering the restaurant was really empty, and it was obvious that there were parties of two sitting at tables for four. Whatever. read more

Wepler seems to be the place in Paris to splurge on a nice seafood dinner. The menu features a lot of raw items, ie oysters etc. Not my thing, but thankfully the menu is diverse enough for all tastes. Wepler was the site of the best French onion soup (or as they call it-onion soup) during my 9 day trip to Paris. It was cheesy oniony perfection! My momma wasn't especially hungry so she ordered a Caesar salad and said it was the best she's ever had too. My dinner kinda missed the mark, but that was my fault. I ordered salmon tartare...I don't know what I was expecting, but it came out looking exactly like fancy feast which freaked me out. Maybe for a more adventurous palate it was delicious, but to me it was weird. The service was slow, as it is in all of paris, but at least they were friendly here. I should mention, I did see a mouse running around, which would freak me out in America, but seems to be the norm in Paris. read more

I just have to say, this was a fantastic restaurant at a great value. Firstly, the service here was second to none. I would not say that the staff were overly attentive, but they were extremely professional. The waiters carried themselves in the most professional of manner. The food was great. I was dining alone and merely had their sirloine, it was fantastic, as was the bread. I saw a number of incredible seafood platters on the adjoining tables and the "Wepler Platter" looked simply incredible. And in the end, the price was more than reasonable for the service. I hope to one day return with a larger group to fully enjoy all that The Wepler has to offe.r read more
