Des fois se fier aux autres review, c'est important. J'ai lut à plusieurs endroits des review pas…read moretrès positif sur ce restaurant et j'ai comprit. Le positif. L'accueil était bien, rapide et courtois. L'endroit est quand même grand mais c'était (trop?) vide, peut-être parce qu'il était uniquement 17h. Maintenant le reste. Nous avons prit le meal plan qui inclus entrée, repas et dessert. Comme entrée, la salade Steakhouse césar. La salade elle même était bien mais elle est venu avec du poulet pané qui semblait être du réchauffer de la veille. Très gros contraste avec la salade qui était fraîche. En même temps, on nous a donner 2 petit pain. C'était tellement dur que j'ai eu tout la difficulté à entrer mon couteau dedans et quand j'ai réussi, ça fait le bruit de casser une brique! Ensuite le repas principal. J'ai prit les travers de porc fumé aussi appeler côté levée ou ribs. La viande était très très grasses avec des gros morceaux de nerfs, vraiment pas agréable. Le porc lui même n'était pas tendre ou juteux et la viande semble cuite avec aucun assaisonnement. La sauce bbq qui vient sans un petit pot était bienvenue mais je n'ai pas réussi à mangé le plat plus qu'à moitié. La patate qui vient avec est une patate où l'intérieur est mise en purée avec de la crème et du cheddar. Si vous aimez la crème et le cheddar, vous allez aimé sinon comme moi, une bouché à suffit pour ne pas continuer. Ma conjointe a prit les pâte saumon et elle a dit que c'était passable tout au plus. Pour le dessert, j'ai prit le gâteau au chocolat qui vient avec une sauce à la vanille sur le côté. C'était un gâteau bien normal que l'on retrouve dans les restaurant cheap. Un gâteau style "pain" au chocolat qui goûte rien séparer en 2 par un mini crémage et avec un crémage sur le dessus qui est très subtile. L'impression de mâcher de l'air. Le chocolat rouler sur le dessus était bon et la crème de vanille. Ma conjointe a prit la crème de vanille et c'était encore une fois passable. À peine de garniture vers le centre sinon c'était comme un pouding bien normal. A ce prix, un des endroits le plus cher à Disney après les character dining, on s'attend à bien mieux. Passé, aller ailleurs. Je ne dis pas ça souvent mais ici, c'est ça.

The ambiance is good and feels like luxury but the service certainly isn't. We didn't even get to…read moreeat the main menu just the appetizer because they took over an hour and a half to bring the food. We asked for the check and left. Didn't even check in on us we had to walk and find her so we could leave.

You will wait in a very long line, and it will be worth it. After waiting an hour for a table on a…read moreSunday night, I was very pleased with the food, the service, and the atmosphere in the restaurant. And the price (29 euros) is pretty great! Once you're finally inside, the staff is super nice and efficient (it helps having only a few things on the menu), and the salad is very refreshing after waiting so long to eat. The house red wine is very good, too. The steak comes rare, medium, or well done. If you usually go for medium-rare like I do, I recommend going rare. It was perfectly pink on the inside but still had a good bite. The steak is excellent, and the sauce is to die for. And the French fries? Out of this world. It may seem a little gimmicky that they refill your plate, but you'll be so happy with how good the food is, it doesn't matter. I used the fries to scrape the plate clean. I was sadly too stuffed to try the dessert, but it looked fantastic. Definitely recommend getting to the restaurant before they open and waiting out the line -- the steak and fries are more than worth it!

I redo my review. My wife went and SHE waited…read more (She called when it was time.) About half the people are irritated as they leave here. As I was the first time. But you know what? I am changing my mind by 2 stars. Its a gimmick but I enjoyed it. Sitting outside in Paris with a thin little piece of steak with a very nice sauce with some french fries soaking up all of the (everything) is not a bad way to spend a night. Oui?

We found this spot one rainy evening in 2019. No reservation and sat the bar. What ensued was…read moremagical, which is fitting for a magical city. I've referred multiple people here and everyone loved the experience. This was my third, but certainly not final visit to the legendary Robert et Louise. I'm now rocking their merch. You know what it is, gang-gang. Cuisine: 5/5. Fromage? Steak? Whiskey. Wine. Dessert. All these basics are done exceptionally well, superb, you might say. Beverages: 5/5. Ask the staff for a pairing of whiskey or wine with your meal and enjoy the ride. Service/Ambiance: 5/5. Make a reservation. Yes, make a reservation. Sit at the bar or take whatever they have available if you happen to "drop in." Be cool. The legendary OG Anthony Bourdain dug this place, so don't be a demanding American. Buen provecho.

I wandered into Robert et Louise on a Monday night and was lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar…read more It turned out to be perfect timing--they were completely booked and turning people away, most of them fellow Americans. One couple even tried to reserve a table for later in the week, only to be told there were no openings at all. When I mentioned my surprise to the bartender, he smiled and explained that Anthony Bourdain had featured Robert et Louise on his show, which brought them international fame. I had no idea when I walked in--it was pure luck. Fame aside, it's easy to see why the restaurant remains so beloved: the food is simple, rustic, and outstanding. I started with escargot, followed by a perfectly cooked steak with roasted potatoes and a crisp green salad. The true test of a great restaurant is how well it executes the basics--and here, they were exceptional. Tip: make a reservation in advance. This place fills up fast for good reason.

The signature burger here was a sleeper hit. They use hand chopped angus for this burger so the…read moretexture of the patty is much better than standard ground beef, and each bite was juicy and full of flavor. We came here once and were so impressed by the burger that we came back again and all ordered the signature burger. I will say that it was not as good the second time because they swapped out the sesame brioche bun with more of a sesame hamburger bun, but the flavor of the meat was still good nevertheless. The people are also friendly and it's English-friendly, if that matters to you. Would definitely recommend giving Harper's a try!

We'd passed by this place multiple times during the day but it was always closed…read more The vibe was like a bar, but a lilttle nicer. Young crowd. A couple birthdays and they'd turn down the lights for a couple minutes to sing happy birthday in French. Idk if that's tradition HBD but def had everyone in the restaurant clapping along. Our server Aimen was phenomenal. He was very humble and simply said he worked there but I think he may be the owner or manager. He was so kind and friendly with us. It was a busy Friday night but he made sure we were well taken care of. He also spoke Spanish which was refreshing to hear!! Coming from the U.S. where good customer service is important, he's one of the nicest and friendliest restaurant people we have had the pleasure to meet in Paris. For food, my salmon with the sweet potato puree was amazing. The salmon per the menu is semi-cooked. I requested fully cooked and it was still delicious. The cheese fries were perfectly salted and good to share. The pork fried balls were also very good. They had an English menu. The service was just as good as the food, excellent.
