This is located smack on the strip of Champs Elysees. It's pretty big with both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors but you are still in covered area so you don't feel like the crowds passing is on top of you. Service was just strange I'd say. Not terrible but certainly not great. Like they weren't blatantly bad or rude but they didn't seem very interested and was kind of impatient. Like when the waiter came to the table, he didn't greet us or anything, just went straight to "are you ready to order?". But we also didn't get any drink menus, so we weren't ready, and he just walked away when we didn't start ordering fast enough. Drinks: we ordered the Aperol spritz and passion mojito for cocktails. Everyone else just ordered juices and soda. The spritz was okay, the mojito was much better. Food: we ordered steak and fries, mussels, grilled octopus and mashed potatoes. I had the mussels in cream sauce and the grilled octopus with mashed potatoes. The mussels were lacking flavor and the cream sauce was very watery. If they made the sauce thicker/creamier and just seasoned it a tad more, this mussels would be amazing! The octopus and mashed potatoes on the other hand...superb! The octopus was grilled and seasoned perfectly, but honestly the mashed potatoes were the star! It was whipped and creamy perfection! So much so, my friend ordered just mashed potatoes for her meal after tasting it. read more

Great ambiance in a great location. The prices are very reasonable compared to other places we have been to in Paris. Last place had 12 snails for $50. Here, 12 snails were $19.50 for comparison. The waiter was FANTASTIC and open to modifications. The steak tartar was good. My husband said it was a 4 out of 5. The burrata was good but had too much salt sprinkled on it. The octopus was chewy and slimy on the outside; quite disappointing. read more

Charming restaurant down street from Arc de Triumph on the Champs Elysees. Best service I have experienced in Paris on this trip. They kept watch on my table and refilled wine glass as it became low. I ordered the FRENCH ONION SOUP...smply called "Onion Soup" here in France :). It was delicious. It is served au gratin, meaning it is covered in delicious baked cheese. TIP: Onion soup comes with baguettes drowned in the soup. I asked for some extra baguettes for dipping in the broth and covering with melted cheese. Highly recommended! A RED BOURGOGNE WINE is the perfect pairing with the onion soup. The light fruity wine with an acidic character pairs well with the rich cheesy soup. They served it in a stunning petite glass. read more

The older host who we spoke to upon arrival was so off putting and told us the only table we could sit in was in the middle near the register since everything was reserved. However, there were 2 tables that did not say reserved so when we asked our waiter, we were moved with no issue. The mussels were so bitter, definitely did not enjoy. However, the rest of the food was pretty good. My husband got the steak and fries and I got pasta. The star of the show was definitely the creme brûlée. Definitely worth ordering read more

Second time we've been here, it's Alsatian cuisine which is a blend of German/french, this time I found it to be Over priced and not great. The veal was extremely tough. The waiter was a bit of a douche being a bit rude and dismissive, pretty much the stereotypical French waiter. When we turned the veal back we never saw him again and it was another server who came around, who actually tried to make up for it. The octopus,escargot, and duck confit were good. Crème brûlée was good as well. This place is in a touristy area, so keep that in mind when coming here, might be better to go further off the beaten path. read more

Going international. First time in Paris and after visiting the Arc de Triumph, went to eat an early dinner. They quickly sat us down and were kind enough to ask us which language we preferred. The waiter was quick to attend to us. The food came out at a decent time. My steak in pepper sauce was delicious and the sauce was awesome. Used my fires to clean my plate of the sauce. My wife had a creamy ravioli that I wanted some as well. Over all - the waiter made it best when we started talking about the Knicks, Giants and Cowboys - he was funny. read more

I came here for dinner on a Saturday night while strolling along the Champs Elysees. We were sat quickly and the atmosphere was buzzy and elegant. To be honest, I didn't want to come in because it seemed like a tourist trap, but I was outvoted. My fears turned out to be well founded. The food was mediocre at best, and too expensive. I got the French Onion Soup for a starter and the broth was way too thin. It also wasn't very warm. For my main course, I got the Sea Bass Fillet but substituted the risotto for the spinach. The fish was cooked well but it was sitting in a pool of butter. I cannot adequately describe how unappetizing this was. They forgot to swap the spinach out, so I decided to taste it. The spinach had likewise been doused in some sort of sauce that was equally unappealing. They did bring the risotto out once I pointed out the mistake, but honestly I wish they hadn't. It was basically mush and had zero taste. Incredibly disappointing. I ordered a St. Germaine Spritz and it was mediocre. I would not recommend this place. Save your money and go to the Five Guys next door. read more

While the food I had here was tasty, I felt a few things could have improved my experience. First, their bread was a little chewy and old tasting. In a city where bread is so important, I feel like it should have been better. Next, the service was typical "French", which was no problem for me, but our waiter seemed extra salty towards us Americans. Perhaps this is a sign of the times, but I don't enjoy being treated this way when I'm paying for the experience... no matter the political climate. Lastly, as the waiter was processing my credit card, the machine asked for a tip, but I didn't see an option for no tip, and, there was a nearly 5% additional fee for being charged in US dollars. This was totally unreasonable, in my opinion, and should have been told to me up front. Again, the food was pretty awesome (I had the sea bass, which I recommend), but the service was tainted. read more

Of all my dining experiences in Paris, this was the most underwhelming! The service was mediocre at best and honestly slow!

Was shopping in Champs Elysees area when it started to rain around lunch and this is the first time I'm glad it rained! You would think that it would be pretty touristy and you'd be right but their French food was pretty good! Most people make the mistake of ordering steak or lobster here. Instead, the French onion soup, pâté, and mussels is what we got and they were all very good. In fact, their pâté was better than one we had in a local French hole in the wall. Their French onion soup was very cheesy and delicious. Service: - They are very busy but have lots of tables (it's very big, larger than most restaurants in Paris), so we only waited 5-10mins to be seated. - it's Paris: the fact that they weren't rude and in fact treated us respectfully was a good start - don't expect American service as it is hard to catch the waiter like at another other Paris restaurant but they do speak English and Spanish other than French read more

We came here for dinner one evening, even though we read mixed reviews, we gave it a chance. The maître d' was rather curt and not very pleasant, but the rest of the staff were decent. Definitely a hopping restaurant, as they're on the Champs-Élysées and crowded, but their food was still executed quite nicely. Their shrimp cocktail was small and the sauce was too mayonnaisey, so it wasn't very nice. We tend to stay away from touristy places like this due to the service, food quality, etc and this place pretty much reminded us to leave these places to the typical tourist. read more

I love their onion soup. It's very filling. They don't want you to just order soup though. They want you to order a starter and then a dinner plate. We had to argue with the server for a minute to allow us to just get the soup. No idea how anyone can eat more than that. Otherwise, service ok. They did let us just have soup in the end. It's not crazy loud but definitely a touristy place. Love they have choucroute. It's rare to find in Paris and it's good here... I do recommend this place otherwise. read more

Went here after reading google reviews giving it 4.5 stars. Somehow yelp reviews were much lower and those were more accurate. Our food was okay. Service was terrible. Strangest restaurant service we've ever had. My husband ordered a beer and the waiter told him not to order that one and then told him which beer he should order. The waiter eventually served him the beer he wanted after my husband insisted. For some reason our waiter asked us if he could take the order of another couple who had arrived after us. I should have questioned that, but I was surprised so I said that was okay. He eventually got around to taking our order. The other couple got their order promptly and were halfway through their meal when I flagged him down and asked if our order was coming. He said it was taking so long because of the kitchen and said there was a large party upstairs whose order was put in before ours. I told him that if they weren't able to prepare our dinner we could settle our drink tab and dine elsewhere. After that our dinner arrived immediately. When he brought our food I explained that I was unhappy because we had let a couple order ahead of us unaware how much longer we would have to wait. As I was talking to him he just walked away from me. The waiter asked if we wanted dessert. When we said no he asked me if I was angry. I definitely was but I just wanted to get out of there. read more

Here's a lesson to look at reviews before sitting down. Walking down the Champs one night looking for a place to eat. Place was hopping, looked nice and the menu seemed decent so we went in. Seated quickly and then that's where it went downhill. Took forever for the waiter to come and acknowledge us and bring menus. Even then there was zero interaction or personality from him or anyone else. Got our order in and sat back. I don't recall the last time I was in a half decent restaurant where the waiter does the bussing, bringing the food etc with no help. Clearly not a great business model - one decent to maximize profit at the expense of quality experience. When the food came my kids had both ordered the steak frites med rare and one was quite under so after another eternity we finally got his attention and explained what was wrong. He almost started to argue but then took it away. By the time the replacement came ( it was cooked perfectly) we were almost finished. I had ordered the French chicken dish, for something sitting in a broth it was quite dry . At no time did anyone come by to ask how everything was or to ask if we needed anything. Isn't that pretty standard. Another warning sign. Eventually we flagged him down to get our bill to get out. Surprising it wasn't brought out right away as they clearly work at lightning speed to clear the table once someone left so they could turn it over. Bottom line, this place relies on people like myself. Forgot to look at reviews and likely won't be in Paris again or at least not for many years. There is a five guys a couple of doors down. I'm sure you'll get better service. Don't be fooled by the fact that it looks like a typical Parisian bistro. read more

The waiter Chotan was extremely helpful and nice. Super friendly. Mussels were great. We liked the Caesar salad. The chicken that was served with the salad was like Hainan chicken, very tasty. Highly recommend this place. Only minor issue is that they charge you 1.5 euros for 1 pat of butter. read more

Over all a 3.8. The food was decent , but not for the price. I wanted my mom to taste French food while in France instead of foreign food she could get at home. Prices probably higher because of location. The onion soups was very very good, probably the highlight. Salmon my friend had was okay, the beef was beef . Fries were thin with not much taste. Skip the prawns with avocado in the starter menu. What made it enjoyable was the friendly service. Easy speaking Spanish , English , French servers. The room itself is spacious , and clean. Large bathrooms downstairs , and pretty. read more

We actually experienced pretty good service despite what the other reviewers experienced and the food was decent. I ordered the Alsace Sauerkraut With Mixed Meats and Sausages and some regional beer. The pork knuckle was pretty good and the dish overall was very good, and the beer went really well with the dish. Other dishes were just ok. This place is pretty touristy which is to be expected given the location. There are definitely a lot of better choices taste-wise in Paris but this is a solid choice if you happen to be in the area. read more

Very disappointing experience in Paris. As this spot is right on the champs, we were expecting it to be pricey, but this place was definitely not worth it. A couple of things that threw us off: they gave us bread and we asked for butter. They asked how many, we said 3. When the bill came, we saw they charged us 1.50 euro PER BUTTER! And it was those small pats of butter wrapped in foil. That felt super scammy to us. Another thing we noticed is that they re-use bread. We didn't finish all the bread at our table and as we were leaving, we saw them put our un-eaten bread back into the basket for future use. That's just nasty, not sure if that is a common practice in Europe... but that rubbed us the wrong way too. On the plus side, the food was decent and the portions were good, but I would not be returning here based on our experience. read more

It was okay but not amazing. The oysters were good! However whoever was shucking them wasn't disengaging then from the bottom shell. That means when we got them, we still had to finish shucking them to eat them as they didn't just slide off the shell. The waitress was rushing and not at all the Paris laid back take your time standard. She also didn't listen well as I asked for Pinot Blanc and got Pinot Noir. The chicken with mushroom and gravy was decent, and had comfort food feeling to it. read more

Oh man. This was an awful experience. The waiter seemed annoyed that we wanted drinks and starts since the entrees were not great. He tried to tell me that we could not split starters so I ordered their French onion soup that lacked a soul of a seasoning. Dreadfully water soup and the onion tart was okay. The drinks were not great either as the caparinia was tiny. The mojito was not good at all. After we asked for the bill, he asked how was his service and wanted extra tip. He blatantly ignored us since we didn't order entrees and then when I went to get the managers attention, the waiter sprang up. The ambiance looked like a nice place, but avoid. read more

The Bruatta salad was bad, ask the manager to take it off the bill. He refused and was rude.

Service in Paris is often hit or miss, and this was no exception. That said, the French fries were absolutely incredible--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and probably the best I've ever had. Such a simple dish, yet done perfectly. The ambiance was lovely too, which made up for the service. read more

There seems to be an assumption that any Bistro right on the Champs Elysées will be touristy and rude towards foreigners. We didn't find this to the case at all at L'Alsace. We were treated respectfully by everyone we encountered, and the food was as good as anywhere else in the city. The restaurant is a bit more spacious than most Bistros, so we didn't feel like we were sitting right on top of other patrons. It has that classic look one hopes for in a Paris Bistro. It's also clean, open, bright, and well run. As shown in one of my pictures, they have a very nice fresh seafood selection that you don't find at most places (so much for being touristy). We didn't try to the cocktails but there were some interesting options. Wine by the glass options were plentiful and very reasonably priced. As we did at just about every restaurant in Paris, we started with the Onion Soup. One look at the picture will tell you just how good it was! My wife had the Foie Gras as her entree (something she also tried at just about every place we ate), and loved it. I had the Flammekueche (essentially a flatbread pizza) with Raclette, Bacon, and Potatoes. So good! The crust was cracker thin, with crispy edges and a chewy interior; what every U.S. bar pizza should be but never is! When you get tired of shopping, this is the place to stop. read more

First of all, we ordered from a "special" menu according to the waiter. There were none of the items we saw other patrons ordering, such as their onion soup.

Came here dinner for our first French dinner. We were jet lagged and didn't want to venture far from our hotel. It was also our baseline place for French food. We were seating right away as expected in a touristy area. I ordered the steak and fries and Boo Boo got to duck confit. We shared the escargot. Overall the food was fresh and okay. We seated outside as it was mild night in November but should have seated inside because a lot of other diners were smoking. Out of all the restaurants we dined at in Paris this was the only and last place where the server asked us for a tip outright. We definitely knew this is a touristy spot. read more

L'Alsace - This was amazing - Brasseries Near Me - Paris, 75

So our second day in Paris and we had to try something on Champs de 'Elysees. L'Alsace was recommended to us. The restaurant was very nice and the staff were very kind. The food however, was less the average. My son and I had the ribeye which coming from the US, was underwhelming. It was my wife's order of the lobster that was really disappointing. The lobster had been burned just enough to blacken the meat in the edges of the tail. Except for the lobster claws, the meal was inedible. All three meals were accompanied by a side of bernaise (sp?) sauce. I wish I could say the sauce was good but it wasn't. Our desserts were better. My wife the strudel and really liked it. I had the strawberry pastry which was tasty. My son had pistachio ice cream and ate every bite. What made the meal worse was the price. Yes, we are on the Champs de Elysees so paying a premium was expected. But with that high price, the food should be much better. The restaurant's atmosphere is very welcoming, the waitstaff kind and professional but all that is for naught if the food is not good. I hope it improves. read more
