We just happened to stumble on this spot. Very cool old French bistro with lots of stuff on the menu. We were offered a seat outside and it was a good thing because just as we were seated it got very busy and I overheard a table for four would be an hours wait. 5/5 #5 Oysters - very good and clean with no funky smell 4/5 French onion soup - very hearty 3/5 Burger - my least favorite thing I ate 4/5 Chateaubriand - nice dip and service with a lot of fries Our waiter was very nice and accommodating. Super friendly guy and his broken English and our broken French made for good laughs. read more

Found online, I mistakenly booked thinking it was a different restaurant, but quickly realized my error. From the outside traditional French bistro with red awning charm, interiors are woody with many celebrity photos adorning the walls. We arrived promptly at our 6pm reservation time to find a near empty restaurant. Greeter was kind and friendly. We were given a choice of 2 tables, sat quickly and offered water, bread and garlic butter accompaniment. So far so good. Over the next 10-15 minutes the section we were in filled with families, couple and solo diners. I noticed a lot more 'non' than 'qui' when it came to parties without a reservations. 'You can take a table but you need to leave in one hour or 1.5 hours'. I guess 7:30-8 is the busy time, but I always find it inhospitable to hear that statement at any restaurant - or say it differently. We both ordered half chicken and French fries main, which was overcooked and basically flavourless. The sauce was fine but not enough, mustard saved me from an otherwise boring dish. Unfortunately we had a solo 20 something French guest dining beside us, the tables are very close together, who was Skype dining with a friend, no headphones, for the entire meal. Very loud and screeching sounds from the phone. I was extremely frustrated that the host or servers didn't say something. Based on the diminished ambiance we decided to have coffee and dessert elsewhere. Food cost for Paris is reasonable, food is ok but not special. Wait staff was attentive and polite. read more

Typical French faire. Prices reasonable. Location stellar. Fairly close to the Eiffel Tower. The service was very nice, but there was a bit of a language gap. They brought us some of wrong things which we graciously accepted and enjoyed them. What did we have? See the accompanying videos. (If a picture is worth 1000 words, then my videos are worth many thousands of words.) Excelsior! read more

The food came fast but the steaks were subpar.... it was so crowded and we were packed in there like sardines... when I had to get up to use the restroom the table next to us had to move there entire table away from us so I could get by... btw I am short and skinny and so were they... they only had 2 toilettes and the line to the restroom was interfering with the servers going to the kitchen read more

Must try! Everything we had was top notch. Eggs, avocado tartare, onion soup, filet with peppercorn, milk fat tart desert, crème brûlée. The fries were amazing, too. We stayed down the street from this restaurant, met the owners in the amazing wine store a couple of shops down (which is great as well and you should go to), they said we should try their place and we did, no regrets! Probably the best meal we have had in Paris since we arrived. And our blonde waitress was very good; very professional. read more

Pretty average. We arrived without a reservation and the host just kind of huffed. He looked around(we say lots of empty tables) and said "let me see if I can fit you in." It was 6:00PM...early for Paris dinner time. We sat in an area that had only two other occupied tables and about seven around us empty. I assumed that that by 7:00PM they would be full. We ordered a simple dinner. An order of Coq au Vin with pasta, an order or Escargot, and a crock of Onion Soup. Our food arrived within a reasonable time. It all looked very good except for the Coq au Vin...it was just not very appealing. The chicken did not fall off the bone as we were use to. Its flavors just weren't in depth. Maybe they had rushed the cooking. The escargot were ok, and the onion soup was probably the best of the three dishes. We ordered a really nice bottle of bordeaux wine and a cocktail. (We upped the price of our tab by a lot). Service was just not very good and it was slow. Shouldn't have been because they were fitting us in. At 7:15PM none of the tables had been occupied. I watched the host tell people the same thing he told us and then sat them. Is it a Oh, this place is wonderful, we are really booked but I can fit you in and make you feel special. I can't really recommend, but the location is very good. And it might be reasonable if you don't order nice wine and cocktails. Just be simple and get out of there for an ok tab. Inside the restaurant looks great. People seem to be happy. And there seemed to be a few locals but mainly tourist. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us and we thought that we give it a try. Walked in around 1pm during a work day and the restaurant was pretty full, which we thought was a good sign. The atmosphere seemed fine, nothing special when walking in. The staff was friendly and clearly very busy for the amount of people that were there. They were working hard for their money. They had menus in multiple languages which was very helpful and we appreciated. The food arrived at the table shortly after we ordered and arrived at the appropriate temperature. If someone has read my previous posts, they know that is something that I am big about. The food itself was meh. Nothing special. We ordered a salad and it was incredibly salty. The meal was okay and apparently a local specialty but it wasn't for us read more

Family of four came here for dinner. Truth be told this is an overflow place for us not being able to get into Relais Entrecôte which is kitty corner from here. Both places had lines. Host was nice enough to seat us without a reservation as the place was quite overwhelmed. Food highlights: lentils with mustard vinaigrette were really good. So was the French bread and butter. Divine actually. French onion soup was also a big hit. But the two steaks....for one, they took about an hour and arrived way after all the other dishes. They were also very well done when we asked for medium. Just way overcooked. Disappointed to say the least. However we did get two free deserts a chocolate mousse and a crème brûlée. So they did try to make it up to us. Price also reasonable. Would give them another chance maybe when it is not so busy. read more

Watch your check. They tried to give is a padded check. Half the food we didn't eat. Order a steak frites. Gave us a welll done something with potatoes. They are quick to feed you but never chexk to see how dinner is. The table next to us also got a padded check. Clearly they play the tourists and they ask for gratuity. Very tourist oriented attitude. Better evade and go somewhere else. read more

Had a lovely Monday lunch. We tried the sea bass and the lunch special which was a hearty sausage and refined mashed potato. The sea bass was served on a bed of roasted vegetables: eggplant, peppers, onion, zucchini with a light sauce with plenty of flavor. The attentive service and relaxing cool outdoor seating was a relief in this busy neighborhood. read more

Our favorite dinner in Paris!! And cannot recommend enough! Though I had accidentally reserved for the next day (reservation requests made through email), the host still managed to seat us and I'm so glad he did! We enjoyed every dish: 1) The onion soup was perfectly seasoned and just cheesy enough! 2) I may be biased since this was my first escargot in Paris but this was everything I imagined and more - so buttery yet flavorful with the herbs; I kept dipping my bread in for more! But half a dozen is a good amount - may be too overwhelmed and stuffed for other dishes if we had gotten the dozen. 3) The steak was the showstopper - cooked perfectly medium as requested and the aioli was delicious! My friend wiped her plate clean! 4) I still dream about the crème brûlée - we thought we'd be too full but one bite opened up a whole new stomach! This was light yet perfectly balanced to add a sweet finish to our night. read more

Service was not friendly or attentive, to be expected but not to this level. Food was ok. Nothing special at all which makes me wonder why it's so highly recommended by the hotels. The Mille feuille "André" was burnt. Overall not a repeater. read more

Great frog legs, great Burrata. Filet steak was very tough but had a good flavor. Octopus was extremely tough. Waitress was amazing! Made special accommodations. If you are keto, ask for the frog legs to not be dusted in flour. read more

Our family arrived without a reservation at a stressful time for restaurants in the city. Paris was playing to win the UEFA championship and places were closing all around. The staff welcomed us with open arms and we had a fantastic meal. Everyone had the steak frites and they did not disappoint! 10 out of 10. We will come back to Chez Andre every time we visit Paris. read more

Stopped here after a day of exploring and loved it! The eggs were so delish & the burrata had greatt flavor. Average French onion soup but still good, would've loved more bread & cheese in it- flavor was great. Loved the outdoor seating! read more

Our first meal in Paris for lunch. A cute bistro near our hotel. We shared three appetizers. The mushroom salad was only fair. The octopus salad was very good. The escargot was great. The service was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go back to try other things on the menu. read more

I work concierge director is here on our first night in Paris. We didn't have any specific plans. It's directly across from a very famous steak and Frites place with a line of mile along, so it makes for good people watching if you sit outside, lol. At first, we thought oh no, they sent us to a American bistro, and the food was not going to be any good and we would be surrounded with nothing but Americans. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the food is pretty amazing, and the restaurant is filled with locals and tourists alike. It was so good. In fact, that we ate there two nights in a row! The chocolate mousse is on par with some of the best in the city, and the onion soup was the best I've had so far. I would recommend to stay away from the steak and scallops, but everything else we've tried so far has been 10 out of 10!! read more

Read good things about Chez Andre and I wanted to try it instead of waiting in line at Le Relais Entrecote again. Would give it 3.5 stars. Pros: - Chez Andre was very accommodating with making reservations online, including a request to seat our large group outside. - the location was on a not overly busy street so not too much street noise sitting outside - There was a very affordable kids set menu that included a drink, entree and dessert for 10 euros. Good for kids under 8-ish. - The escargot was garlicky and delicious - Service was attentive Cons: - the kids "steak frites" was really more of a burger patty and fries... would opt for the salmon next time - we ordered the lamb chop special medium but it came medium well and had this sauce poured over it that I thought it didn't need read more

While every restaurant was fully packed we visited Chez Andre one day while walking to our hotel. The food here was the best we've experienced our entire stay in Paris. The escargot was tender and flavorful, foie gras was like butter in your mouth, and steak was cooked perfectly. Service was amazing and we loved the location and ambience of sitting outside while sipping our wine. I would go back to Paris just to taste their food again. read more

I know this place is supposed to be a hole-in-the-wall French restaurant. However, I was disappointed by the service and quality. First of all, order wine rather than spirits there. I ordered a martini and their definition of the word was... something else entirely. Basically lime-flavored vodka. The burrata with tomato appetizer was tasty, but it's pretty hard to mess up this classic dish. The mushroom appetizer on the other hand, was just bad. The menu needs to specify that the mushrooms are raw and uncooked. I am huge fan of mushrooms, and I wanted to love this dish. But it simply flopped. My dining partner enjoyed the steak, particularly the generous application of pepper on the seared outer skin. The French fries and steak sauce were also solid. My avocado and crab dish (I ordered an app as my meal) was admittedly fresh and flavorful, nothing to critique really. I just wasn't surprised or overwhelmingly impressed by the food, and the service was so-so. Good spot for a steak, I guess. read more

Amazing staff, food and ambiance. We wish we had more time to savor the moment but kids were exhausted. Despite that and that it was a tad more than our other meals we've had . It was an unexpected surprise. We stumbled into this place as the line for another place was too long. We were happy with our decision. Food- steak was perfect. My kiddo liked the filet mignon with onions. We all loved the creme brûlée and I love the chocolates mousse. read more

If you have good memories from this restaurant from years and years ago, don't go back, you will be highly disappointed. Poor touristic menu, expensive for what you are getting, easy last minute cooking, where all the real French dishes have disappeared? This restaurant has lost its personality and eating there or somewhere else wouldn't make a big difference. This is a sad evolution of another place which once had a good name... read more

Bad attitude waitress. It was cold outside and she insisted that I need to wait outside - also rude ! But all other guests are invited inside regardless they don't have booking. I don't see the difference and why? Maybe because I'm Asian? This is total racism and low educated act, as a matter of fact, she doesn't know what good service mean.
