Great little stop in for a drink. We wanted to come explore the beer from Belgium and they had a wonderful selection. It's well located with great outdoor seating as well. The service was quick and wonderful and was reasonably priced compared to other spots in the city. read more

Enjoyed sitting outside people watching. I ordered a cheeseburger. I would rate it as average at best. Served with fries which were tasteless. My husband had the daily special, rumsteak. It was practically inedible - very tough and full of gristle. I had a French beer that was very good. It was interesting that the rooms that had the water closet had no lights (completely dared when the door was closed), the hand dryer was out of order and no towels were provided. This is a good place for a beer, but would not recommend for dining. read more

Wanted mussels and fries, and don't get me wrong. It was a hefty quantity. But it was so lackluster in flavor. I was looking for the garlicky, white wine sauce, but it was just boiled in water with a lot of onions. So if that's what you're into, def the place to go. But lots of different beers, a great place to go for drinking. Great staff and casual/pub-y atmosphere read more

OMG! Best Burger in Town. Seriously, American burgers are failure compare to this. We ordered following : 1.Cheese board (Its a MUST) 2.French Onion Soup (like something with 100% Satisfaction) 3.Burger (OMG) 4.Mixed Desert Plate (Heaven on Plate) we picked this place randomly but the fact that everything from Appetizer to Desert was 10/10 was festinating. The waiter who helped us was very sweet and got very excited with our Tip habit. we sat on the street and loved the people watching feature. read more

If you're not looking for a Tourist trap and you love mussels and beer, you have to dine at Au Trappiste. Located in the Les Halles area and right off of the Châtelet metro station, it's pretty easy to get to. Great selection of beers, for 11 Euros you get a bucket of mussels that you pay double for in the states. I also highly recommend the escargot, it's under 7 euros! It comes in a garlic butter sauce. You can't find that price in the states! There's an outdoor seating area where you can people watch, however smokers are allowed to sit here. Smoking rules are apparently more lax in France. There's also the other option of sitting in the upstairs balcony, but the availability of that area is dependent on how crowded it gets downstairs. The other downside is there is only 1 restroom. Not sure about the parking situation, but you're in Paris! You should be walking to soak in the beautiful views!! read more

Best selection of Belgian beers we've found in Paris. The beer selection gets a 5-Star, the food a 3-Star and the service a 2-Star. If you are looking for great beers, try this place...just be ready to wait...and wait... read more

In a more touristy part of town, but the service was attentive and friendly. We had beers first before moving inside and upstairs on the balcony for dinner! They have a great list of beers, which definitely pairs well with mussels. The formule for beer, mussels and fries is reasonably priced and it's a TON of mussels. The only complaint was that the waiter asked if we wanted to give a tip, which was odd because the tip is usually included in France. So PSA, you don't need to tip when the receipt indicates "servis compris" = comprehensive service. You can personally choose to give a tip in addition to that, but the wait staff should never ask for one. read more

I had a really lovely time here one morning for breakfast. I walked up alone and got a nice seat outside. I got a simple breakfast eggs and the bread basket - plus a mimosa. Scrambled eggs were perfect! read more

Great Pints! If you stop by here, the St. Bernarbus is a really good beer. The service was great, and the design of the restaurant was admirable. read more

The place has a great selection of beers- on tap, bottles and cans. However I thought the prices were ridiculous. My friend got Coca Cola and it was €5, I feel it's a little too much. I paid a total of €28 for two beers and one soda. Great place to check out if you are into the beer scene. read more

Ate at Au Trappiste with my family while in Paris. It is a Belgian-style pub-like restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating. We opted for outdoors. I ordered mussels, provencale style (tomato, garlic, basil, and white wine). My sister and dad ordered the striploin steak with fries, and my mom opted for frankfurt sausage with lentilles. We also ordered a french onion soup. The food was okay. Nothing extraordinary. The Frankfurt sausages were quite savoury with a nice smoked flavour to them. The mussels came in a generous heap and though the ingredients were simple, it was savoury. The striploin steaks were overdone, and not tender at all. Without the large pile of onions (yikes! Bring a pack of gum for afterwards) that were heaped on top of the steak, it would've been bland. The side of fries that I ordered for 4,50 was enough to feed a family of 4! The most disappointing of all was the French Onion soup. Stingy on the onions, the cheese was burnt, and I did not taste even a hint of wine! The thing that peeved me the most about this place was the snooty French host who sat us at our tables. I ordered the Frankfurt sausages with a side of lentils, and when the dish came it came with fries. So I flagged him down, I had kindly reminded him we ordered it with lentils. He replied in a stone-cold manner "No you didn't, but its not a problem, I can have it easily changed." The second half of the night was better as the snooty host no longer attended to us (probably a blessing!) and we had a younger, much more friendly waiter was attentive, pleasant, and cute (not that that's imperative!) We ended up tipping him 5 euros for his excellent service. I made sure I gave it to him personally so that the snarly host didn't reap the fortunes! read more

Omg! The waiters were amazing! Arthur, Dmitry, and Ismael helped us with beer selection and could not be any more friendly! Mussels here better than Leon. Very quaint and tasty! Amazing beer selection. Had the cherry beer which was very good! read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant in Paris and I'm so glad I'm did! I was looking at the menu with my friend and a friendly waiter came out to greet us. He told us that there was a deal on the mussels so we decided to try it. We ordered the mussels and fries. The sauce in the mussels was very unique, you could definitely taste the wine which complimented the potato-y goodness of the frites. The mussels came in a very big bowl and came out to be €14, perfect to share between to people. This place also has good Belgian beer! read more

Yelp never lies...unless you see a full 4 stars with 50 plus reviews...a 3.5 is closer to a 2/3 than a 4. Nevertheless the comments here are fair. The mussels and French fries special they have is a very good deal - more than enough for 2 people to share. The mussels were good but not out of this world. The service was friendly and efficient. It's quite close to the louvre so it definitely seemed a bit on the touristy side. The selection of beers however is impressive - the most I've seem while in Paris. On the whole, the food is ok and the prices are relatively fair as the portions are huge. read more

If you're a tourist, love beer and want to experience the whole Parisian Cafe life, this is a great option. Also centrally located about a 5 minute walk from the River Seine. Ample amount of beer options, and always served in proper corresponding glassware, a pet peeve for most beer enthusiasts. Mussels ("Moules Marinieres") and french fries special is excellent and more than enough for two to snack on while people watching and enjoying a drink. Returned to Au Trappiste twice over a weekend stay and was equally impressed on both occasions. read more

Hey, look review #300! *golf clap* Guess its time to catch up on some reviews so how about we start here. Back in December my wife and I went to Paris as she had to go for work and we decided to make it a small vacation for both of us, as this was going to be the last vacation of just the two of us. (She was pregnant at the time.) She knew of the places to go, I sure didn't and she kept raving about this place she's been to a few times on past trips, so of course we had to go. So in a nutshell, in most simplistic terms, Le Trappiste serves Belgian beer and mussels. Oh sure they have other items on the menu but those are the only two things you need to worry about. Ok, order some frites as well. I don't know if you ever had Belgian beer served with mussels before but let me tell you, its awesome. Here, they have something like 20 different ways of serving mussels (depending on the sauce - wine, no wine, cream, no cream, tomato-based, etc). And you will get a nice heaping pile of them for your eating pleasure. The beer selection, well pretty freaking impressive. Though no disrespect at all, not very many unfamiliar names as we have some pretty damn good places here in the Bay Area with very similar Belgian beer selections. Ok, Le Trappiste did have "Satan" (!!) on the list, which you don't see much in America. (But none of our places serve mussels.... hmmm, maybe I need to make some phone calls...) Really thats it. Good beer, good mussels, good service (though a tad tough with the language barrier). I highly, highly recommend. read more

We were searching for moules & frites and this place had popped up pretty high on Yelp. Hubby and I thought the moules were rather flavorless, we got the maurinère flavor, maybe another one would have had more flavor. The frites were good and we had Laffe Belgian beer. We had nice waiters and sat on the patio. The area wasn't great or anything, don't think I would come back. read more

Although it's not fine dining, it's my favourite eating place in the whole world. Open until 2.00.a.m, the huge buckets of mussels done in 6 different ways or the bavette echalottes bearnaise is worth dying for. A huge portion of thin crispy French Fries done in authentic style to top it off. Plus a selection of over 200 beers from around the world. If you're up for it, try the "Morte Subite" (sudden death) from Suisse. 16%...It's a killer. If you're in Paris, it's a must. read more

I love this place. After yelping in Paris one evening on an empty stomach, I came across the reviews for Au Trappiste and then realized it was a short Metro trip from my hotel in a very fun area of Paris... So naturally, I jumped on the Metro and headed out! The place is charming and a bit crammed, inside and outside but that's all part of the european-ness of it all, right? Someone there spoke english and was beyond helpful and polite. Table for 1 - here I go... The mussels were awesome. Large portion and the quality was great. My mouth is watering as I write this review. I ordered a side of fries and they were huge! This could easily be split between 2 (or maybe even 3 people). I ordered a delicious belgian beer, blonde, 11% ...yum. So good. The combination of mussels and belgian beer really is something wonderful. If you're in Paris and in the mood for some great mussels and beer, don't miss this place. It's delicious! read more

I dined late night at Au Trappiste after the ballet. The wait staff was attentive and helpful. I had the curry mussels with frites. The curry was outstanding! The size of the portion of mussels was huge - more than I could eat. They had a good tap list featuring mostly Belgian beers. I appreciated that I could get smaller pours of everthing on tap so that I could try several during my visit. I would definitely recommend to beer fans in Paris. read more

This was an interesting pick for Paris and I would never have found it had I not fallen in love with Chez Maman in San Francisco. During the anticipation phase for my Paris trip which indeed lasted almost five times longer than the actual Paris trip I became a fan of all things french. I became a regular (though the waitstaff has yet to remember me between visits) at Chez Maman and I would order the mussles with a french beer. It is probably my favorite meal in SF. To not make this a review about Chez Maman.... When I got to Paris I wanted to order the same meal and see how it stacked up. So on some yelp-like website for Europe the trappist was recommended as a Belgian beer pub with mussels. Score! It was in an interesting part of Paris...walked down a small but bustling street that got even more colorful shall I say as the sun set. The restuarant was open and airy. Ordered a sancerre actually, as I couldnt fathom getting beer my first night in paris. The mussels were good. It all felt very french. Though my dinner in paris didn't feel quite so "french" as my dinner at Chez Maman. read more

Been coming to this fine establishment ever since stumbling on to it in the early 90s. Every trip to Paris since has a required stop here. Simple meal of mussels and a great beer. Come with friends and try variety of mussels and huge selection of bier. Never disappointe and always crowded! read more

Our first tourist restaurant on this trip to Paris. Was intrigued by the other yelpers saying 8 Belgian beers on tap, although a few were Belgian there weren't any that I like. The Trappist bottle selection was comprehensive but at 8.50 a bottle it was neither a good deal or too expensive. Ordered the steak frite medium and came blue, after eating the edges it was sent back for a re-cook and still was rare. The moral of the story is don't go looking for great beer in a city that it just isn't a thing, stick to long bistro dinners and wine in Paris and have a great time doing so. read more

Love this place! Arthur and Dimitri were as warm and charming as can be! The best service we received all week. The mussels and fries were delicious. So glad we didn't go to Leon de Bruxelles because it is not nearly as charming as Au Trappiste. Want to give it 5 stars but there onion soup was not tasty. Stick with the mussels and beer and you're good! read more

I cannot speak to the food, but the beer was awesome. Service was great and the ambiance was a blast. I would highly recommend to folks for an after work beer. Thanks for a great experience! read more

I'm not sure about the food but it looked good and everyone seemed happy with it. I was there for a beer. I had just came from a country that had horrible beer and I was really hoping to have a good beer in Paris. I stumbled on this place and was super happy to have some excellent Belgian beers on tap. They had a solid selection of Trappiste beers. They also had a some more mainstream but good beers on tap. They also have tons of bottle options including French trappiste beers. Hoping to go again when I return to Paris . read more

Good location in central paris on St. Denis. The place has a fun atmosphere and a solid selection of Belgian beers. However, like many bars in Paris a bit overpriced. The patio is great on a nice sunny day, and their beer and mussels special deal is great! read more

I got sick from the mussels and had to throw up in the evening for a couple of hours. The service and the restaurant was nice, but you should still stay away. read more

We ended up going somewhere else much better the next day for mussels because these weren't enough. The fries were soggy and the mussels a bit tough. I would say keep searching if you want a bucket of mussels. read more

Our first evening in Paris was spent at Au Trappiste and was everything that we could have wanted and more. To start we ordered the Provencal style mussels which were to die for (especially when accompanied by freshly sliced baguette!) To eat we ordered a variety of french dishes. Everything was positively delicious (including the Escargot!) All in all, Au Trappiste definitely ranked as one of our favorite restaurants in Paris for food, atmosphere and service alike! read more

Please do not go here unless you want your valuables stolen from you! As eating here with a group of friends, another costumer went into my bag and stole my laptop. Restaurant staff did absolutely nothing to help me after the incident and brushed it off as if it was nothing. Refused to let me speak with a manager or contact them, insisted that there are no security cameras installed on the terrace (hard to believe as I have worked in several restaurants, one in Paris) and took zero no responsibility for the incident. I understand my bag and it's contents were my responsibly however a little sympathy from the staff would have been nice. Also not one other costumer except my group of friends tried to help me identify the man who stole my laptop. It honestly seemed that this incidence may be simply just a common practice at this restaurant in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Please avoid at all costs!!! read more
