    Chez Lazare is conveniently located on Rue Satory which is a close walk to the main entrance of the Versailles Palace. Thankfully it was opened in this sleepy town during August, prime European vacation month. Plat Du Jour (Lunch) In ordinary french fashion, there is a "plat du jour" special for lunch that includes a main dish (selection out of three options) and dessert (selection out of two options) for about 13 Euro. When I was there, the options for main dish included a vegetarian option, pork chops with apple glaze, and salmon lasagna. The pork chops were very well done although the portions were rather small (only one small pork chop). Dinner: The dinner menu offers you combination deals of appetizer and dessert, main dish and dessert, and appetizer, main dish, and dessert (prices averaged to around 20 Euro). The portions are slightly larger than what you will receive at lunch. You can also order the main dish separately for 15 Euros and includes a side of your choosing (grilled vegetables, fries, baked potato, salad). I ordered the lamb chops which was extremely flavorful (recommended to me by the waitress). Our neighbor's order of moules (mussels) looked excellent and the portions were generous. Chez Lazare is not to be missed during your trip to Versailles! Like at all restaurants in Europe, if you arrive at American dinner time, there will be no waiting whatsoever. Plus for us! Just don't arrive at Fei dinner time or else the restaurant will be closed (6:00 PM or 6:30 PM). :(

    Went to Chez Lazarre last night. Food was good - they had a variety of things for vegetarians, too. Anything with mozzarella cheese on it was awesome - had the salade primavera and was really, really happy with the freshness and the flavors. My companions agreed that the freshness was excellent. Classic French flavors! The service, on the other hand, was a little... Difficult. We went through a number of waiter/waitress changes, one of whom even said goodbye as she left for the evening. The kitchen was closing toward the later part of our meal, which slowed the service down considerably. I would recommend going a wee bit earlier in the evening!

    Whenever I travel abroad, I make it a point to get away from the 'touristy" areas. I was in Paris for several days and decided to go to Versailles for a few days. I happened to stop at a local cafe and asked for a recommendation for dinner. The Chez Lazare was it....and I must say that it was AMAZING!!! I showed up at 7:30pm...prime time if you want to beat the crowd and was promptly seated. I gave them my best French but they quickly realized that I was struggling. They switched to English and were extremely helpful. I ordered the salmon with butter sauce which is a MUST. Some wine and I was in heaven. For dessert I ordered the Briochet with creme glacé and had it not been for the fact that I was busting at the seams, I would have ordered another one. Absolutely one of the BEST places to eat in Versailles.

    Pasta carbonara and cream-based pizza with bacon and arugula.

    Serves average French food for moderate prices. Last time I was there, I saw a mouse running around. Haven't been back since.

    Friendly service but food was just ok. Steak was chewy. Salad was ok. The best thing we had was the veal blanquette and the escargot.

We each got the combo platter that allowed us to try multiple meats and sides, and I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the meat. Especially the brisket, a particular favorite of mine when it comes to BBQ. The mac and cheese was a solid side, but the coleslaw was underwhelming. As Americans, yes, we expect large portions. I've been to Europe often enough to manage those expectations pretty well, so I was also pleased when we each reached a comfortable stopping point and were able to get takeaway boxes for our leftovers. I know it's traditionally trés gauche to take leftovers from French restaurants, but I was happy to see that the trend is catching on. After all, not wasting food is a good thing, is it not? We carried those leftovers all the way to Amsterdam the next day--that's how much we wanted to finish them. We opted to sit in the terrace seating that has a suspended plank for a table so that we could people watch Rue St. Denis, a busy street in this arrondissement. It's in a great neighborhood that was vibrant and full of life, even in the wake of the pandemic. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who would like to try good Texas style BBQ in the middle of Paris.

Since we are from Texas we had low expectations but we were wrong. Freddy's BBQ Serves excellent BBQ THAT WOULD COMPETE WITH ANY IN Texas Or Tennessee! The brisket was perfectly smoked, tender and juicy! The pulled pork was fantastic and the ribs were solid! We had all the sides and loved them The two pitmasters are trained and from Texas and Oklahoma So you know they know what real BBQ is!

    We stumbled upon this cozy restaurant after striking out at the nearby Pink Mamma (we went an hour…read moreand a half before closing and they were fully booked for tables of two!). We're glad that we ended up eating here. The meal was delicious and reasonably priced, and the service was friendly (tres gentil) and took mercy on our meager French skills by conversing with us mostly in English. The steak was superb, although I'd caution American visitors that medium rare in France (and in Europe more generally) tends to be on the rare side. The fries were equally scrumptious, and it's harder to pull off a good crisp on a relatively thick-cut potato. Finally, my wife's ribs were very good, and were more refined than is typical of American-style barbecue, which looks a little messier and has a smokier flavor. Great place for dinner before seeing a show at the nearby Moulin Rouge!

After a brief and incredibly lucky search this popped up, Flesh, and with an opening for 8pm. Good luck trying to score a steak dinner in Manhattan on a Saturday night with zero reservations. That aside, we were sitting in the oldest bar in Europe and confirmed our reservation not knowing what we were getting into with very little homework done on the place. After a couple of drinks and wandering through Paris we grabbed a light lunch hoping tonight's dinner was just what we were looking for. A short Uber ride through some very narrow streets we arrived on a one way street that seemed to be the up and coming neighborhood for food and drinks. Once inside we were not seated in the best spot but to their credit this place was tiny, as most hole in the wall restaurants are in this city. After a short wait drinks were served and our orders taken. The place seemed to me to be a sort of upscale BBQ joint, with of course good beers and mixed drinks along with wine. The staff were young and energetic and on point with any questions or requests. Keep this is mind, your in Paris so there really isn't such a thing as a cheap meal, but if you find the right place it's worth every dollar. Anyway my girl and I both ordered steaks with taco starters and delicious sides. All told $175 for one app, two entrees and four drinks. Yes this was probably the most expensive upscale BBQ place we've been to, but both left with a belly full of very yummy food. Thank you to the staff and cooks for a last meal in Paris.

Prices range from 9-24 Euros ($11-27 US) for the meats, 4-5 Euros ($5-6 US) for the sides, and a lunch menu of 15 Euros ($17) for a meat, side and drink, it's a good deal for the best BBQ I've had in Paris. The first time I went, I had the pork ribs with a side of greens, and a beer. the pork ribs were tender in the center, but dry on the end, needing the delicious tomato based BBQ sauce to moisten the meat. The beef brisket was excellent, with a wonderful peppercorn crust, nice smoke, and juicy meat, good enough to eat without any sauce at all. The greens weren't bad, with plenty of pork goodness, but they needed salt and heat to make them better, unfortunately Parisian taste is not known for having any tolerance for spice, so sneak in some hot sauce if you want to perk up this side, or take it home and doctor it up. The pickles and pickled onions were excellent, with a crisp texture and vinegary bite. The baked beans were the best side I tasted, with a smokey tomato base, just slightly sweet. The decor reminds you that the owner spent some time in Texas, but fortunately there were no chainsaws in sight :)

First off Tom our server was awesome at explaining the history of the restaurant and the variety of the menus and drinks.The brisket is so tender and different from the brisket in California and so was the pulled pork and chicken. The sides of pickles and onions we're so flavorful that they changed the course of the dry meats into something magical. Our server then gave us a free plate of sausages and baby ribbs to sample and I must admit that the ribs we're the best I ever ate! I wish I would have ordered them first. I highly recommend someone from the states to come eat at The Beast to get their BBQ fix
