L'Alsacien has wonderfully unique pizza. Our group ordered several different ones. The crust was thin and crisp. The toppings were obviously fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable. read more

Perhaps one of my favorite meals in two weeks of eating out in Paris. We came just as the restaurant opened and we're given a seat as there were no reservations until later. The staff spoke English and was very nice. We began with some Julien Klein wine and Meteor Pils. It was great. The two dishes we ordered were the Végéta and the Forestiére. Service was very fast and these pizzas carried a ton of taste. read more

My ancestors are from the Alsace region, and I was excited to come across this place and be able to try to traditional food. The ambiance was cute, and the staff friendly, and the food really delicious! read more

Amazingly cute and cozy restaurant that will blow you away with something different than your standard French cuisine. The specialty here is flammekueche, a thin crust onion and cheese pizza-like deliciousness! Beyond the amazingly delicious and different food, the place also provides quality service and a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy your meal with a loved one or friends with some drinks! read more

Phenomenal food and drinks! We were on vacation in Paris and on this particular day (Aug16) we had been sightseeing around Notre Dame and wanted some good comfort food after walking around all day. It was late and we weren't sure if we would be able to get a reservation. Found this place on the internet and what a great find this was! Flammekueche is a must when you come here. It's like pizza but better. Crust is almost like a cracker crust and amazing toppings like cured bacon, onion etc with a light white cream sauce. We ordered the charcuterie board which had a nice assortment of meats and sausages. We liked the Flammekueche so much that we ordered another to carry back to our hotel. They also have a good selection of Alsatian wines. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. His suggestions were on spot for the drinks and food. The restaurant is small, quaint. A bit tucked away from the nearest main street but worth the find. This was a perfect dinner for my family after a day of walking around Paris. We will be back for sure on our next visit to Paris. read more

Stopped here for dinner on our first night in gai Paris. We stayed in the the 5th arrondissements and walked across the Seine to the 1rst to satiate my wife's hanger pains for a taste of some Alsacien tarts (thin crust pizza, traditionally with onion, creme freche and lardon). We had a reservation but the wait doesn't appear it would have been too bad. We were seated quickly and assisted in English (and some French once my wife started speaking in French) and placed our orders. We shared a fresh and crisp salad, two tarts and I had a beer. She had a soda type drink. They give you a buzzer and when it goes off you head to the kitchen counter to get your delicious pies. Bon appétit! read more

A ton of promise, with a scrumptious Alsatian flammekuche to stave off the biting wet cold, but ultimately, there were a few missteps. Our charcuterie platter was forgotten, and arrived well after our shared flammekuche. Second, the servers forgot our drink re-order (and speaking of, house wines ran 7€ and 50cl of Fischer was 8€ - it retails for 2€!), which is the only item they run to your table. That and bread, which they brought when the charcuterie was almost finished. Finally, the Textures of the Alsatian were stellar - a nicely crisped crust beneath warm and oozy toppings, but it was straight up cream and onions. Sauté some of them bulbs with too much butter, dump in cream and pour the reduction on to a crust. Sure, your culinary id is doing backflips, but it's imbalanced to say the least. L'Alsacien is a fine spot for lunch when the prices are more reasonable. A bit of a disappointment for our first dinner in town, though. read more

Not impressed. I don't see why this place is rated 5 stars. Had the flammekueche which was the best thing i had there, really light and simple taste, the pork really didn't add much flavor, its primarily the onion and cream that dominates. Good, I'm sure it could've been better, first I've had of a pie like that so I'll reserve judgement. Charcuterie was awesome, would've liked more baguette but nobody asked. Had to get my own food from the chef too. No biggie, but still, i don't like to work when i go to a restaurant. See my other reviews on places that do this. Last we had the profiteroles, 8 bucks for 3 of them covered in a super sweet chocolate, way to sweet, and the whole dish was swimming in cheap whip cream. Like the waxy filmy kind you get from a spray can. Not excited. Also they got both of our orders wrong but that may have been a language discrepancy so i won't count that. I don't recommend unless you're really wanting some flammekueche. 3 star for that. read more

I've been wanting to get here for a while, and I thought the best way to co-judge the food would be to bring someone along who has some Alsatian blood (I've got a tiny bit myself, but don't have enough experience with the cuisine to judge well). My only flammekeuche prior to this was in Strasbourg a couple years ago. Good prices and selection on the menu, and after you order, depending on how full it gets (and even in the middle of the week it can get busy) your flam will be ready in about 7-8 minutes. They've also got some good desserts. With how cold it has been this winter in Paris, this is an excellent warming choice :-) This is best for a group of 4 or greater, in which you could order 5-6 different flams and try a bit of each! read more

The other night, we decided to bar hop across a few neighborhoods. The third bar was L'Alsacien, a small bar/restaurant with an adorable, friendly, accommodating staff. We sat toward the kitchen window and perused the short menu. We started things off asking for red wine (Pinot Noir) and a recommended beer (Fischer amber). Realizing that we should also try to give ourselves a fighting chance for a long night of drinking, we decided to order a flammekueche. The traditional is creme fraiche, sauteed onions and chopped up bacon. Our server told us that the buzzer on the table will light when our order was ready. We settled in with our drinks and complimentary pretzels. After a few short minutes, our buzzer went off and we were given our flatbread. This thing looked and tasted amazing. I've had this particular dish before but it was much thicker. This had a deliciously thin crust that was perfectly crisp on the edge. Be careful not to lose any of the amazing toppings when bringing it to your mouth; stabilize with your other hand! Once our drinks and flammekueche were done, we asked for the check and headed to the counter to pay. It was then that we noticed a camera to a downstairs room which can be rented for larger parties where you can play your own music and order your beer and wine and flatbreads. This is definitely a place to check out but it certainly filled up fast as we sat there around 630-7. The staff was very pleasant and willing to do as much as possible to give us a great experience, including speaking english whenever possible. Thanks, L'Alsacien! read more

You're at the right spot if you're looking for Flammekueche. It's basically delicious pizza on a crispy and flakey crust. This is the only pizza crust I eat. I came with 5 friends, so we were able to order 1 of each Flammekueche. Each person can eat about 1-1.5 pies each. My favorite one by far was the apple, honey, goat cheese and ham. The rest were delicious, but that one is a winner. If I had to choose my top 3, the wild mushroom and rabbit pies were great as well. They have seasonal menu items, so you may be able to try different toppings. read more

So, I tell my better half that I want to try this Alsatian bar that I pass by to get to my most frequent parking station for my Vélib (that's free French bike for those not in the know). It's never open in the mornings but I've seen it as it opens up, looking bright but with cosy decoration, both modern and homey, as if you're hanging around in a friend's kitchen, but one that is new and stylish. I tell him it's a pizza restaurant, based on an image I saw on the web. But I'm completely wrong. L'Alsacien specialises in flammekueche, a specialty of the Alsace region, also known as a Tarte flambée. It does have a passing resemblance to a pizza, but is a bread dough rolled out very thinly, and then covered not with a tomato base but with crème fraiche and other toppings. Wikipedia tells me the dish was only made at home until the 1960s when pizzas became popular, and it moved into restaurants (there seem to be a few in Paris from Alsace) and now L'Alsacien says they are the first flammekueche bar. I thought it was absolutely sensational. Crisp, hot, savoury and delicious. I love discovering new dishes! The service, by the way, was nice as can be. read more

Let's get to the point, This was great: * Delicious and typical Tartes Flambées (the best I ate in Paris), * Great beers: Tartes Flambées + Fischer is the magic combo :), * The serving system is quite amusing (you got a beeper for getting your Tarte when ready). This could be improved: * The place could be a little bit cheaper (~10€ for a Tartes), * Maybe not the perfect place for group: I went there in a group of 16 and the cook was overwhelmed. To sum up: Coming myself from the France area where the Tartes Flambées are the specialty, I can tell this place is the best one in Paris for enjoying them. With the "gratinée", you can't go wrong. read more

So, nobody in my group wanted "pizza" while in France, but left L'Alsacien very happy and full. We didn't have time for a long dinner, so we stopped by hoping that they'd have space for us and that it would be pretty quick (we had a river cruise to catch!). The place was packed and rowdy on a Thursday (lots of young locals) and we were going to give up before we even approached the door, but the waiter said there was a room underground that had space. We went downstairs and it was relatively quiet and there were families eating dinner and an empty table for us! We had a charcuterie plate, their classic flammekeuche and the forestiere, and some beer they had on tap. The flammekeuche was loaded with perfect onions and the crème fraiche was lovely. The meats on the charcuterie plate were very good, too. This would be a perfect spot for lunch, but we also enjoyed it as a casual dinner. The young man serving us was friendly and made sure we got everything quickly / in time. Highly recommend this place! read more

This spot made for a perfect quiet lunch hide out after dealing with all the crowds of Notre Dame, nearby. Their flatbreads were tasty and the beer selection complimented the menu perfectly.

I've been searching for tarte flambee ever since I visited Colmar last year. We have nothing close to this in the US, so when I went to Paris for a few days after a work trip I tried to find a place to experience this delightful 'pizza' and voila! Wonderful service and large portions for lunch. If you come between 1-3 pm on a weekday you can get a lunch special. I had a salad and flammekueche and it was too much, but fabulous. read more

Oh my cousins in Alsace! Please don't hate me... I think this may be the best flammekeuche I've ever had. For €8.50, the dish, the service and the atmosphere were a welcome respite from the crazy shopping scene a few yards from Rue de Rivoli. I didn't have room for dessert, but I wish I did. My fellow diners seemed to really be enjoying theirs. Just a short note about the younger set - this is a great place for families. The kids were happy and comfortable. They didn't have to wait too long and loved their lunch as much as I did. Perfect choice to expand your repertoire of French cuisine. read more

This was the best meal we had in 4 days in Paris, and it's a bit off France's culinary beaten path (no escargot or steak frites here). L'Alsacien's specialty is flammekueche - which tasted like the most delicious thin crust, wood-fired pizza. We shared a savory (melty cheese, ham, onion) and a sweet (pear and chocolate) pie. We also LOVED the charcuterie board and the Alsacien beer on tap, Fischer. We don't typically go for lighter-colored beers, but Fischer had amazing flavor. It doesn't get fresher than French beer in Paris! We had a long, late dinner and loved lingering in this spot. The wooden décor and cozy/fun vibes made us want to stay for a second, third round and enjoy the food and atmosphere. read more

Yes. In all senses, yes. I have a hard time formulating words that express what a lovely meal this was. From the flammekueche to the charcuterie to the bread to the beautiful Alsatian salad, this was a fabulous meal. And it was in a gorgeous setting on a beautiful day, with excellent friendly service. Just go and order anything. You won't be disappointed. read more

Our single best meal in Paris, and that's saying a lot! We had the Flammekueche, of course. (You're in an Alsatian place, how could you not?!) We also had the charcuterie platter. Both we're truly exceptional. We had the Flammekueche that came with melted Munster cheese and bacon. Let me tell you, munster cheese was the surprise love of our trip. Do me a favor, and try a little exercise with me: Think about the Munster cheese that you've had in the US. ... Okay, are thinking about it? Good. And now, forget about it. Forget about it completely. Think about a kind of cheese that is completely unlike what you had in mind a minute ago. Think about something that has the texture of slightly melted Brie, and the pungent flavor of Livarot or Le Delice de Bourgogne. In all seriousness, real Munster cheese is simply so unlike the munster cheese in the US that they really shouldn't even be called by the same name. Long story short: Go to L'Alsacien and get the Flammekueche. Get the one with Munster on it if you can. This really is as good as it gets! read more

5 star. Hidden gem in Paris. They make what you might call pizza with creme fraise instead of red sauce. These pies are incredible. Great wine list (Alsace wine is cool climate, high acid, low tannin, whether red or white). Good beer. Split a pizza and have a few beers. You won't be disappointed. read more

Love, love this place. We were on day 6 in Paris and needed a change from French food. Just what we needed. Great pizzas (aka Flammekueches), awesome atmosphere and very friendly staff. I would highly recommend a stop in for something different then the normal affair. Make sure and save room for dessert. Tip: the waitress takes your order and the buzzer (aka Bipper) tells you it's time to pick it up. Reasonably priced! read more

Go there for a meal, it is definitely an excellent option near Châtelet (way better than Gladines, which I don't know why my friends always seem to want to go...). Their flammeküche cost ~10€ and are meant to be shared. We tried 3, and all were delicious. BUT their dessert flammeküche are not as good - we had the apple and chocolate one, and it was a true disappointment. It tasted tart, as if the cream was no longer good, and the apple were too sour. Too bad, we ended the meal on a disappointed note... I'll come back, but only for a main! read more

Ok, read the reviews. Had to give it a try last night. Tried to make reservations online but that failed. Just chanced it, they extremely friendly nice waiter/manager got us a perfect table. Very good looking nice guy!! The food was amazing just as was the staff.

The menu is set up to share with your partner/date! Loved it.... this place is a must!! Merci!!! read more

We chose this place for our last night in Paris. We visited with our 15 month old who really enjoyed the food as well. We ordered the flammekueche with the apples, goat cheese, and honey and the flammekueche with onions, bacon, and mushrooms. I must admit we were apprehensive about the honey and apple one but it was our favorite. It was so delicious. Luckily we arrived early enough that we were still able to sit and eat dinner on a Friday night without a reservation but we saw many people turned away so if this is someplace you want to try, make sure to schedule a reservation. read more

Great little "pizza" place. The staff is very friendly, attentive and helpful. We stopped by originally and they were booked. We made an online reservation for later and came back. We had the ham and emanthaller pie and the rabbit, mushroom. A large salad with a mustard vinaigrette, the pate, and for dessert, the raspberry, mint "pizza". It was all excellent. The crust was thin, light, and very good.The upstairs is quaint, down is more sports bar with a big screen and a fútbol match. The staff spoke English very well and was able to help a lot. Great place for lunch, dinner or just a snack. A good place to bring kids as well. read more

Super cute place, enter though a sliding door directly into the dining area, which is small. A few tables of different sizes are packed in, and there is a downstairs we didn't see. Glad we made a reservation on a Sunday night! The wait staff was super friendly, and the beer selection small but fun. We started with the solidaire, which was amazing, and I'll def be back to order again. So we ordered another, the one with sauerkraut, and it was really good as well. Most of the menu has the same base, so I hope you like onion and smoked bacon! read more
