Went here based on a few good reviews. Being foodies my wife and I hoped for some classic French sausage with choucroute as on the website pics. Any other classics would be good also. Upon arrival early, the place had two small corporate dinners going on, otherwise empty. Snooty waitress asked if we have a reso, we didn't, but they gave us a table for two. We get the info, from our waiter, no sausage and no kraut. Got the snails which were ok, paired with a basket of stale bread. Also got the chicken supreme with rosé sauce that comes with a small dish of stuck together fettuccini noodles. Try to get the clumped noodles out and introduce them to the little sauce. WTF I had the sea bream, fried in butter, cooked mediocre at best, dressed with Kalamata olives and zucchini-tomato, no sauce, kinda like a dry putanesca. I rarely write a bad review and Paris has thousands of amazing restaurants, but this one is a complete waist of your money. Go to Boullion Julien around the corner instead Ps, when we left, the place was still empty read more

Great classic brassiere food at very affordable prices. The interior is a bijou of old world dining style. Keep room for the table side made crepe flambé. read more

Great classic even thought the menu is very paired down from its heyday.

Have been going here for over 30 years and very seldom, if ever, disappointed. This time with five of us, the restaurant was quiet, but the waiters looked after us very well. Foie gras and poached eggs with mushrooms (as shared starters), then entrecôte, chateaubriand, duck and two different types of fish as main course. All enjoyable although my wife's pasta (which came with the xxx) was rather greasy. Dessert was Ile flottant, crime brûlée and chocolate moelleux ( the first is the best) then coffee and digestiv. So food was great, ambiance pleasant; overall a lovely evening. PS if you do think of going back again, or going to the other brasserie's in the "chain", then I recommend you get the "esprit de brasserie" loyalty card. Gets you 10% reduction, plus points towards free wine, appetizers etc. Hadn't used mine for three years but still worked fine. read more

AH-MAZING. Thank you, Yelp, for pointing me in the direction of this gem of a restaurant in such a questionable area. We literally walked 3 blocks from our seedy hotel area and all of a sudden I found exactly what I went to Paris looking for. Charming and friendly staff, decor that is reminiscent of old Paris, a crowd mixed with locals and tourists, and the most delicious but simple food. We both got the 35€ starter/main/dessert menu. Started with the duck foie gras and the half dozen oysters. I won't comment on the foie gras since I have never been a fan every single time I've tried it. The oysters were big, juicy, and fresh! For mains I had the grilled filet of Norwegian salmon and my boyfriend had the farmhouse chicken plate on top of seasonal veggies. I don't even know how to describe how much I loved everything. I've never had chicken so juicy and tasty! Dessert was creme brûlée and the apricot gazpacho. The creme brûlée was delicious and had a subtle hint of bourbon. The gazpacho was interesting! It almost reminded me of syrup, but not so sweet? This might have been on the bottom of my Flo totem pole along with the foie gras which is on the bottom of my life totem pole. If I am ever in Paris again, I'm definitely coming back here! read more

Another five star experience! Host gave us English menus this time! We had the salmon, daily salad, and molten chocolate cake. My fella mirrored my meal from the other night. We got a full meal for two for 93 euros this time! So far I have counted five staff that were fluent in English and one older tall fella with white hair who had to warm up to the Americans useless at French. I still give them five as he replaced himself with someone who could work with us. read more

My GF and I were looking for a restaurants where we could eat oysters before leaving Paris. We came across this restaurant during our yelp search. First off, the food was really good (we give it a 5 star rating);however, there is NO WAY this is a two euro sign (8-20€ per person) restaurant. The cheapest deal is 30€ for a starter and entree or an entree and dessert. The a la carte menu probably averages to 20-25€ a plate. Now to the food. The oysters are really good. Very fresh. They are accompanied with a vinegar and onion dressing/sauce/topping (very tasty on the oysters). My GF ordered the salmon which came with potatoes, tomatoes, and zucchini. I had the duck which was like a piece of steak. The side dishes to the duck were also very good. It came with a fried mash potato ball that was delicious. It also came with the dark meat of the duck breaded and fried. For dessert we had the creme brûlée which was fantastic. Very creamy! Highly recommend if you're looking to have a good meal; however, don't expect a small bill. read more

Came here for Valentine's Dinner and had a delicious, incredibly filling, reasonably-priced three-course meal with my girlfriend. The setting is incredibly Parisian--this is the image of Old Paris that my girlfriend just needed for the V Day festivities, but it is rather big and crowded for Paris. The prix fixe for Valentine's was 57€ per person. The appetizers: My girlfriend had the foie gras, served with sea salt, about three different kinds of bread, and an orange chutney (not sure if it was actually orange or peach or something else...). It was delicious but I was even happier with my choice: 8 oysters, served in the French manner (aka still attached to the shell) alongside two lemon quarters, some lemon water (a little weird IMO) and the highlight: some thin balsamic/onion sauce that mixed perfectly with a little lemon and the oysters: I'm salivating now just imagining it. The mains: My girlfriend and I shared our entrees--the chateaubriand steak and two lamb "nuggets" (more like chops really) topped with a thin slice of black truffle perched atop. Each were cooked to a perfect rare-medium rare. They were delicious and along with the sides more than filled with us but didn't have the delicacy or uniqueness that I would look for in a 5-star restaurant for this price. The desserts: I had creme brulee and my girlfriend a chocolate cake after they allowed us to choose from the full menu rather than just the prix fixe because of a dessert shortage and these were satisfactory if not mind-blowing. The set menu also included a glass of champagne before the meal and we added a totally palatable and reasonably priced carafe of red alongside our main dishes--I believe it 17€ for a large carafe. The service was professional, the food delicious, and the atmosphere pleasant--part of a great Valentine's night, highlighted (for me) by the incredible oysters. read more

On our recent trip to Paris we met up with our dear friend Valerie. She had been to Brasserie Flo years ago and remebered it fondly. So we decided to see how it was. We ended up having a 4 hour lunch with aperitif, wine, and digestif. The setting is gorgeous, the service great, and the food delicious. There were no other tourists or so it seemed. read more

Situated in an older building on a pedestrian street in a somewhat less desirable area of northern Paris, Brasserie Flo is a true diamond in the rough. The beautiful interior is adorned with dark wood paneling that creates an intimate dinner setting. That could also be because the tables are insanely close together! One side of the tables is along a wall sharing a common bench seat. For the patrons seated on that side of the table, the maitre d' actually has to pull out the table, let you be seated, then scoot the table back in. The menu is skewed toward seafood lovers, but a tasty meal can be found to suit all palates. On this evening, I chose the magret de canard (duck breast). I didn't know what to expect from this French classic and I was pleasantly surprised. The meat was beautiful cooked and presented. It had a unique, but delicious, taste and texture. For dessert, I chose the Rum Baba. While also good, make sure you have a designated driver/walker to help guide you home after consuming this final course. All in all, wonderful atmosphere and scrumptious food, you shouldn't be disappointed by Flo! read more

Although this brasserie is in a shady neighborhood reminiscent of Bronx, inside is very classy and serves delicious hearty meal! It seems very popular among the locals so a reservation is recommended. It's fairly reasonable, 2 course dinner is about €28 and 3 course prix-fix was about €34. For entree(appetizer) I got 1/2 dozen oysters which were fresh and delicious. For the main dish, I had scrumptious salmon served with creamy yellow sauce. My dessert was fun, I had a sample platter which consisted of profiterole with Valrhona chocolate sauce, babarum with whipped cream, fruit purée, and a small almond-flavored pound cake. It's a great place for dinner, check it out if you wanna try something more authentic and less touristie. If you are a female, it might be safer to take a cab or go with someone else at night. Since it's in such a ghetto area, I felt relieved that my French friends drove me back to the hotel after the dinner. read more

We celebrated my 40th Birthday dinner here last night and is was wonderful from our glass of Champagne to start, right down to the last drop of espresso. Our airbnb host recommended this place to us. We both had the menu prestige and started with the foie gras terrine, made in house, which was an enormous portion served with a fruit preserve and flakes of sea salt. I had the sweetbreads on the most incredible bed of macaroni gratinee with baby morels. The sweetbreads were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft, slightly creamy, even on the inside. My boyfriend had the Chateaubriand with frites, bernaise sauce and haricot vert. The steak was tender beyond belief. For dessert, I ways have cheese and was not disappointed by the plate that arrived hosting epoisse, a soft goat cheese covered in ash and Camembert. My boyfriend's rum cake was delicious and boozy. Service was excellent and the atmosphere of the place was that of a traditional. Brasserie from La Belle Epoque. It was a perfect evening in Paris so we opted for the patio. There were many guests arriving who seemed to be valued regulars who were treated with the utmost respect and familiarity by the staff. It's not easy to find, but when you're tired of the tourist traps and the madness of endless bad menus and prix fixe with nothing good to offer, Brasserie Flo is the perfect spot. read more

Great decor, a real brasserie and really good food. The salmon appetizer's one of the best things I've put in my mouth. Waited a bit too long to be seated but the waiters served us olives while we waited. My only peeve is the neighborhood. I can't stand Chateau d'Eau, it feels like you're in a shantytown. read more

"Excusez moi, parlez-vous anglais?" "Yes, how can I help you?" ----- +1 STAR FOR FRIENDLY (and sexy) FRENCHY WHO SPEAKS ENGLISH. I was walking down a small street and saw two huge green doors. I pushed the door and voila, there was FLO. My teacher mentioned that this was a restaurant worth visiting so we decided to check it out. (Excuse my french because I'm mentally incapable of grasping their language and have given up on trying to learn for the remainder of this yelp review) We were a group of 12 people and they happily accommodated us even though we didn't have reservations. I suggest you wear something chic and business casual. I was wearing an american apparel hoodie and a leather jacket (WHATEVER, I own this place...) Their foie gras entree has an extremely consistent texture and isn't too.... pasty? If you love scallops... order their dish with scallops and risotto. IT IS AMAZING. MOUTH WATERING. COOKED TO PERFECTION! If you are a meat lover and want every possible variation of swine, order the choucroute (?) It literally is a iron pan over flowing with sauerkraut and bacon, sausages, ham, whatever else comes out of a pig. Someone also ordered salmon with scallops which looked amazing. DESSERT: CREME BRULEE oh so freaking good. We ordered coffee at the end and it came with carmelized sugar cracker type things, I dont know what it was but it was amazing. And they give you these cute packets of dark chocolate. Prices weren't too bad taking into consideration that their food tasted amazing, their portions were huge, their amazing service (eye candy helps), and the ambiance of the restaurant. For a group of 12 our bill came out to about 350 euro but we also ordered 3 or 4 bottles of wine. This is definitely a place to visit when you come to Paris. read more

Came here at the recommendation of our host for my birthday and had one of the best meals in my life. The decor is beautiful and reminiscent of old Europe, with a very warm (thank goodness because it was cold outside!) and inviting atmosphere. We started off with the "escargot Bourgogne" and they were delicious! It was my first time ever eating escargot and Brasserie Flo definitely made it a great experience. I ordered the beef rump team for my main course and it was amazing! Perfectly cooked and well seasoned. It came with a side of mashed potatoes that were buttery and melted in my mouth. Finally, as it was my birthday, I finished my meal with the dessert sampler: panna cotta, a macaron, creme brûlée, a profiterole and two other desserts I can't remember. All of them were absolutely yummy! The staff here were extremely nice and accommodating (as my friend and I don't speak much French) and the service was superb. The location of this place is on a very small, blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of street (we got lost trying to find it), but I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a classically French meal and restaurant. read more

My father found Brasserie Flo on a list of brasseries to try with an Art Deco/Art Nouveaux style and I'm glad we did. From the minute we walked into the door, we were greeted by each of the friendly hosts. The service was great and their timing was perfect, we were never waiting for someone to take our order or pick up a plate. The food was wonderful! I had the Magret Canard as my main dish and while I'm still not sure how keen I am on warm foie gras, I still really liked it. My dad got an Alsatian dish with different meats and sauerkraut which he could not stop raving about. The atmosphere was energetic-- the staff was bustling and the restaurant filled up quickly so I would recommend making a reservation beforehand. All in all, definitely a great and memorable dining experience! read more

My wife and I found this spot through yelp and had a great dining experience. Hidden in an alley, its tricky to find as its not in the touristy part of town. Our waiter provided English menus and we found the food tasty. What I'll remember most though was the electric atmosphere. The place was packed with friends and families having dinner, really special place. read more

On our first visit, we went with a customer. The food was so good that my wife and I returned for Dinner with friends, we ere not disappointed. The seafood here is the star. Fresh and great value. Returned again after a few years and the food was still at it usual standard. read more

Classic french bistro. Decor , food, ambience and service all hit the mark. Sat outside. French menu which was mostly understandable, don't worry the waiters speak English and put up with my bad French. Highlight was fois gras, onglet and isle floatant read more

Excellent restaurant overall. I look forward to going back someday. The decor in it's classic art deco nouveau form with patina was a real pleasure to experience. Nice scale - not too big, not too cramped. The staff were all professional - helpful and friendly. Generally full from munching here and there in Paris, we just went with the larger size (not the biggest) fruits de mer. High-quality and fresh, we were quite satisfied. Nice Chablis, half sized, and we were happy. My only reservations... it was packed with out of towners (like us), so in some sense, it felt like a tourists den. Also, the neighborhood can get a "sorted", so I do think you need to watch yourself when leaving later in the night. Generally, a great place and experience. read more

Found the neighborhood to be full of fruit stands and good pastry. Didn't threaten me at all. Didn't have reservation but was told at 6 that there would be no problem getting table when they opened at 7. We walked around and returned but no one remembered us, not even the person we had talked to. So they said we could have table until 8:20, then would have to leave. Figured that was enough time and ordered the big platter of lobster, crab, lagustines. Couldn't order oysters for complicated personal reason but they looked great. Meal was great but expensive, but we expected that. Salmon tartare and scallop cerviche appetizer was beyond heavenly. Sure enough at 8:45 we were asked to give up our table as it was a favorite of a regular customer. Not sure why they didn't put us at another table to start with. We opted to leave and skip dessert as our bill was already in the $300 range. read more

We arrived early at 7:30pm and were worried because it was empty. They were filled by 8:30pm. Great food and very fresh seafood tower.

Darn near perfect dining experience - we showed up in a wheelchair without a reservation on a Sunday afternoon 1/2 hour before close; got a table and were served immediately; but not at all rushed. Staff very attentive; several rudimentary English speakers that meshed well with our rudimentary French. Husband had salmon plat du jour; I had sole that was literally plate licking good. Decent wine list. Great chocolate mousse and crem brûlée to top it off. Added bonus: Handicap accessible toilets!! Had a slight problem with taxi - the street is actually a loop street; and the driver insisted the address didn't exist. Soooo I stopped; got out; wheelchaired 2 blocks through the fortunate mid afternoon semi sketchy neighborhood using the Yelp iPhone app to the exact location. read more

Welcomed us without a reservation. Staff run off their feet but very friendly & efficient. Excellent food & fun to watch some true pros working an appreciative & packed crowd. read more
