exploring the city of Paris once again and this time i am travelling alone. I was determined to explore and experience as much as I could for a week. I came across Cafe George V during my Morning walk by Champ Elysees and decided to dine in for brunch. The servers were all so welcoming with bright smiles in the morning. I was seated quite immediately and was offered a menu. My server explained the menu and I elected to order the breakfast package of hot coco with freshly squeezed orange juice with freshly baked croissants and toast with butter and jam on the side and ham and cheese omelet with fresh salad on the side. my orders were serve on a timely manner and it was all so good and perfect. The price wasn't so bad either and it was affordable. I enjoyed my time and I won't hesitate to dine here again for next time. Highly recommend!
Came into Café George when doing some shopping in the area cause you know how shopping makes one hungry. I did look pretty packed at first but we were able to get a table no problem. Once seated we looked over the menu. I noticed at first that all drinks were pretty pricey which makes sense for the area it is in. Food prices were not as bad but still higher then most. I will say they really have a little bit of everything on the menu. For sure was not expecting to see pizza but it was a touristy area so I get it. I went with the Ham and Cheese Crepe since we had been talking about getting one but hadn't seen it. Our food same out shortly and wow they really load the crepe up with cheese and it came out real hot too which I like and of course they had some of their amazing mustard on the table which was nice and spicy. I will say the crepe itself was thicker then I expected it to be and didn't have that much flavor to it either and not much ham but again the melty large about of cheese here really saved it for me. Ashley got the French Onion Soup which I got to try and it was actually the best I had on this trip. For sure the rich beef broth you look for in a good French Onion Soup.
When I'm in Paris, I make it a point to stop at Café George five at least once. The wait staff are super friendly and they have an English menu for us Non-French speaking visitors. I love sitting outside and watching the people go up and down while eating. They make the best French onion soup which of course here in France is only called onion soup. If you need a snack or a whole meal, this is a great place to go.
Le 09/01/2026 vers 16h20, je me suis rendu au café-restaurant LE GEORGE V, situé 120 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris (table 46). Nous avons consommé uniquement : - 1 café latte - 1 thé à la menthe - 1 pâtisserie (" douceur du jour ") Le serveur a présenté une première note (ticket n°107) d'un montant total de 50,50 €, comprenant plusieurs articles que nous n'avons ni commandés ni consommés (ex. cappuccino, chocolat, camomille), ainsi qu'une ligne vague " divers brasserie ". Après contestation, une seconde note (ticket n°108) de 32,50 € nous a été présentée, mais sans aucun détail, seulement " 1 consommation ", ce qui ne permet pas de vérifier les produits réellement facturés. J'ai demandé à parler à un responsable ; cela a d'abord été refusé. Le comportement du personnel est devenu agressif et intimidant, et nous avons dû quitter les lieux. L'incident a fortement choqué ma compagne. Je signale ces faits pour surfacturation, facturation de produits non consommés, absence de facture détaillée conforme et comportement intimidant. On 01/09/2026 at approximately 4:20 PM, I went to the café-restaurant LE GEORGE V, located at 120 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris (table 46). We consumed only: * 1 café latte * 1 mint tea * 1 pastry ("pastry of the day") The server first presented a bill (receipt no. 107) for a total amount of €50.50, which included several items that we neither ordered nor consumed (e.g. cappuccino, hot chocolate, chamomile tea), as well as a vague line item labeled "miscellaneous brasserie." After disputing this bill, a second receipt (receipt no. 108) for €32.50 was presented to us, but without any itemization, showing only "1 consumption," making it impossible to verify what products were actually charged. I asked to speak with a manager; this was initially refused. The behavior of the staff then became aggressive and intimidating, and we were forced to leave the premises. The incident deeply upset my partner. I am reporting these facts for overcharging, billing for items not consumed, failure to provide a compliant detailed invoice, and intimidating behavior.
A special place with great energy and kind staff. Le George V provides a smart amount of care from each of their staff members and with a smile. Many might overlook this spot because it's directly on Champs Èlysèes but you must give this restaurant and try. The portions are large and the Croque Monsieur extremely wonderful. They also have a seasonal cocktail that is wonderful so ask for this and try it blindly as they are always very very good. The energy of this place is true Parisian cafe culture and the quintessential ambiance for your trip to Paris. I prefer this for a final meal before heading to the airports or boarding the metro and I suggest you make it part of your Paris story while visiting next.
Not a good dining experience. We went here over the weekend in July during the afternoon. The food was mid, but what ruined our experience were two things. First, the waiter asked whether we wanted to tip 10% or 20%, which we found odd considering tipping is more optional in France and normally the customer gets to choose how much they'd like to tip based on the service, not the other way around. We verbally authorized a 10% tip, but when we later looked at the final receipt it showed a 20% tip. By the time we noticed, it was too late as we had left already - a fault on our part. But the waiter was holding the card machine the entire time and didn't show us the screen - another red flag. Second, they usually serve small dishes of complimentary olives before ordering food. Both tables next to us received this dish, but our table did not. Don't know if race played a factor (we aren't Caucasian) or if our waiter forgot. All three tables including ours were seated and served by the same waiter around the same time, BTW.
Great French food with a beautiful view of the Arc De Triomphe. Wonderful service that was very friendly, attentive, and happy to give suggestions and answer questions. Very reasonably priced and did not leave hungry. I tried the steak tartar and loved it! Plus the best crème brulee I've ever had! I only review restaurants I find outstanding, and this was one of them
Café George V has a lot going for it, along with an over abundance of surly servers who will leave you non-plus. We had our Concierge call ahead to make reservations. When we arrived, we were shown to a few tiny tables near the front for our party of six. Fortunately, our French relatives picked up on the slight and explained things to them in a friendly, colloquial French sort of way. We were then reseated in the back. The food here isn't bad (photos). Our group ordered everything from Steak Tartare, to Duck, to grilled steak, to Croque Monsieur and Madame. All were very good. But when we went to order dessert, our server decided he only wanted to show the Dessert Tray to one end of our long table. Again our relatives intervened in French. LOL. Ahh, to be in Paris. The food is Four Stars, but the service is barely Two; so you decide if it's worth the merde.
The Negroni is fantastic! The staff is very friendly and the food is pretty good. We usually stop here on our way on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. There is great people watching so sit close the the street!
Great location on the Main Street of Champs Elyses, right across from Louise Vuitton. After being treated badly from Washington Poste, this was great service. We got a great table outside of the view of the street and stores. Drinks are mild but great food options. Vegan and vegetarian as well.

First time to Cafe George V. We ordered escargot and beouf bergionne. The escargot was good, but the cafe was really small, so expect to be elbow to elbow if you sit inside of the cafe. Our server was nice, but fear he was over extended. He was all over the place. The dessert plate with espresso looked good but the desserts were not at the level that I am accustomed to. It was dense and not so fresh. read more

The server was a great salesperson. Saw us looking at the menu and got us go into the restaurant. The food was good but I would like to review on the service and the pricing. No mention of the bottle water cost because we've never been charged water at every restaurant until this. 8.5 euro a bottle, 8.5 euro for an Americano. And at the end he asked for tip. It is not expected to tip in France, yet this guy asked for it. And not mentioning about bottle water charge was dishonest. Horrible business practice. read more

Although this is a tourist trap as it's located right next to the Arc de Triomphe on Champs Elysees street, they do provide good service and good food. As it's convenient for most tourists who are visiting Arc de Triomphe that want to sample some french foods and don't want to pay the prices from the cafe across the street, this is a good place to get most of classic French food such as lamb, escargots, boeuf bourguignon, pastas and french fries. We came for their breakfast. I had a satisfying chocolate drink and a delicious salmon crepe. Both of these are very French. I just regretted that I didn't have a chance to have breakfast at Angelina Paris that has the world renown creamy hot chocolate. Maybe next time. My friend got their omelette and he was very satisfied with his meal. The prices were reasonable especially with the strong dollars. Our service Andre provided us very good service and showed us how to get to Chanel store for shopping duty. read more

Is it possible to find a bad meal in Paris? Not on our trip. We chose Cafe George V because of its location, in the heart of the French fashion district. The Champs Elysees was bursting with traffic and people bustling about, so naturally we chose curbside dining. Like all the Paris restaurants we visited, English is spoken. We can't get enough escargot or onion soup, so they preceded our dinners of steak tartare and boeuf bouguingnon. A cheese platter and dessert rounded out the meal. Every dish was well prepared and flavorful. We had a wonderful time! read more

The onion soup was very tasty, I give it a solid 4. There was less broth overall than I would like, but it had great flavor. Best I have had so far this trip, this is the 3rd I've had. The club poulet left a bit to be desired for me. It came out presented well, but the chicken isn't freshly cooked so that is a non- starter for me. The salad was ok. Lettuce looked fresh but I didn't love the dressing. It was good enough, but not great. The hot chocolate was yummy. When I go next time I am going to try the crepes. My friend had the mushroom and cheese crepe and said it was very good. read more
Loved everything about this charming little spot. We stumbled in looking for a bite to eat after shopping and I'm so glad we found Cafe George V. Ordered a bottle of Bordeaux and a salted ham and cheese crepe which comes with a yummy side of mixed greens. The ambiance is perfect as they have the option to sit outside (it's heated) or inside. Service was stellar and I'm very happy overall! read more
Cafe George V is located on Champs Elysées and it is a great place to stop by for a bite to eat. We were there around 7:30 pm and the place was super busy. Our server, Laurent, was super friendly and accommodating. He moved us to a table next up front because we wanted watch to people watch while eating. We had Irish coffee and wine, followed by vegetable and onion soup. Both were delicious. The price is a bit on the high side but when you compare to other restaurants is Paris it is comparable and when you put its location on perspective, the price is fair. Note: they do not take reservations. read more

This was a great spot for lunch on the Champs-Elysees. We really overthought it and walked a ton looking at all the menus on every cafe. We wished we had just stopped at Cafe George V from the start. Their menu had a good selection, and the prices were reasonable. As it was raining, we opted for an indoor table. It was cozy and warm inside, and service was excellent. We enjoyed a bottle of wine, escargot (my starter), French onion soup (my husband's started), and a croque monsieur (shared). It was the perfect amount of food, and everything was really good! They also brought a large basket of bread, which is a must for dipping for the escargot and the soup. Was it the absolute best French meal I ever had? No...but it was really solid, especially for lunch. And the Dijon mustard on the table was the BEST mustard I have ever eaten. I wish I had asked what brand it was. I ate it on everything!! I'm still thinking about it. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for typical French food. A lot of the other cafes in that area are much more expensive, or had terrible reviews. read more
Probably a tourist trap as the other mentioned - we figured this was the equivalent of a diner to the French. But this was better than the American standard for sure and we had a nice meal here Just went for escargots and French onion soup; we also had croque monsieur and a strawberry/pineapple shake. It was all good! read more
Walking along the Champs Elysées on a Sunday afternoon, we were ready for some coffee and dessert. As it was a nice day, most places were sold out for outside seating, George V was no exception & they were busy. We took a table inside close to the front of the restaurant. Cappuccino was strong and nicely balanced between espresso and milk. Crepes were also ordered. We enjoyed the Nutella/Banana but the Grand Mariner Crepe sounded better than reality. It was a Crepe with a sprinkle of the Liqueur (wouldn't order again). This flavor is better with Nutella mixed with Grand Mariner as I've had in other spots. That said the Chocolate Opera Cake was amazing! Rich layers of chocolate and very light cake. Our server was attentive and friendly and took good care of us. Saw some other tables that were having lunch-salad, sandwiches which looked good. Great spot for coffee and dessert accompanied with a loud and upbeat atmosphere. read more

Visit Benjamin at George V if you're ever in Paris. This review is only for Benjamin's excellent service and the desserts. He is the best waiter and is very knowledgeable about the menu. Benjamin was attending to 10 other tables, but made us feel as we were his only customers. All with a smile a few jokes! He was very attentive and quickly served us our food and drinks. We visited the restaurant for drinks and crepes, however Benjamin brought the dessert platter to us and explained the items with great detail, we changed our minds and ordered the praline chocolate mousse and strawberry tart. All were delicious! I know this restaurant is located in a busy tourist area, but his service and the desserts could rival any five restaurant. Thank you Benjamin! read more
