Food was terrible and service was even worst. When the meal ended the server wanted us to give a tip. I know they were trying to scam us because there is no tip needed in Europe. I would have given something if the service was decent. We order a bottle of water and it cost 10 Euro! Most expensive water I ever drank. I do not recommend anyone coming here. It is a tourist trap and food was just terrible and expensive. read more

Escargot is a famously French dish, so I had to have it since I was in Paris. I looked up some places but this place seemed pretty legit. There's a golden snail statue on top of the restaurant, so you that this place means business. The setting of the restaurant is very French. Very dark lighting and traditional. The escargot dish was amazing!! 100% visit if you like snails. My friends and I had a memorable meal. read more

Well, timeless goodness for this short of 2 century old restaurant. (opened in 1832). Menu goes way beyond escargots only... Their "sole meunière" is to die for... Have it in your bucket list when in the City of Light . read more

Had to make a visit and try their escargot here. We got the sampler of 36, so we got to try various flavors. I think I may be biased, but I personally prefer the ones I've tried in the states more. It was good here, but I've had better. The entrees were decent, but my experience here didn't resonate for me to recommend this place to others. If I were to come back again, I may just skip the entrees and solely get the escargot. Didn't get to try the foie gras, but that also caught my attention. Seating here is very tight. For some tables, they had to pull it out for patrons to sit inside. Service was a little slow during my dine in experience read more

Made last minute reservations before our flight and it was one of our favorite meals! I love escargot and I was impressed with the different flavors offered. We tried the sampler that featured the traditional sauce, cheese, spicy, foie gras, and truffle - I was blown away by the foie grass and the truffle! Shockingly, the frog legs was my favorite dish - light crispy on the outside yet meaty and tender on the inside with incredible flavors (I usually find frog legs to be bland). Foie gras and duck confit are must orders of course but skip the pate and do not try the risotto. Service was great and I would definitely return! read more

Excellent food and service. On our last night in Paris we had escargot, bone marrow and frog legs which were delicious. If you're ever in Paris please go to this restaurant. I highly recommended. read more

Their duck confit and French onion soup were really good Escargot for us were okay but for us, the traditional one was our favorite! read more

From the moment you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by the friendliest staff. The aromas coming from within were so delicious! We had originally planned on a different venue for dinner, but a local overheard us and convinced us to try L'Escargot. That in of itself was a great testimony to what would be one of our favorite parts of visiting Paris. Anouck (?) was the best sever with insightful recommendations. We started with Cocktails (Belinni and Mojito), and ordered the Original classic Escargot and an order of Frog Legs. It was my daughters first time with both and I believe she is now a huge fan! Next for our entrees I ordered the Sea Bass Fillet and my daughter got the strip steak. She likes her steak medium rare and thankfully Anouck pointed out that in France it is either rare (US undercooked) and Medium (US medium rare). Either way the Strip Steak was perfectly prepared with a creamy savory sauce and fries. For dessert we again went with Anouck's suggestion of the Spring Strawberries and ganache and I went with the crème Brûlée. From the moment we entered L'Escargot until we finally forced ourselves to exit, we couldn't have had a better experience! I can't recommend this wonderful place enough! Merci L'Escargot! And until we can come back ... Au Revoir! read more

What an awesome experience! Restaurant entrance modest but once you enter it is a 3 story, multi-sub room, huge restaurant. Ambience was more traditional, dim-lit but cozy. The tables were a bit snug but the food - wow! Started with escargot done traditional, with truffles, foie gras and and spicy. All done superbly with lightly toasted bread which was a change up from the usual harder French bread. The foie gras was seared perfectly and paired with the fruit chutney well. The onion soup was a full meal in itself! The filet with foie gras and the salted sea bream (whole fish) were both divine We had no room for dessert but saw the creme brûlée and poached pear at the next table looked good too To top it all, the price was surprisingly reasonable for the quality and service!

Very disappointed, I have been to this restaurant for more than 5times and have always had great service and food. However this time, the service and attitude of one single waiter was very disappointing and made me not want to visit again. I have raised my hand up for attention of that waiter and patiently waiting for his help but he was gave so much attitude, being rude and was saying "can't you see that i will come and help you, i don't want to serve your table, be patient and just wait" The food is always amazing, but this attitude of this waiter was so disrespectful and disappointing. All waiters were amazing to us especially the front lady and served us great, it is only one male waiter. read more

I'm gonna keep this simple. Service was excellent. Food was amazing. Got the escargot, onion soup, Foie gras. Recommend it all. Just eat here. read more

American Tourist here. I came here based on a friends recommendation and it did not disappoint. We got the foie gras escargot, the 24k escargot, and the filet mignon with foie gras. The foie gras escargots were amazing...pretty much exactly how you assume that combination to taste. They purge their snails here properly so you don't get that slight dirt flavor like at some of the other restaurants. At first I thought you were just paying more for the presentation of the 24k snails (larger snails that are covered in gold flake) but after looking at the prices again it's actually not a bad value proposition. The regular garlic snails are 18 for 6 while the larger 24k garlic snails are 23 for 6. You are paying ~25% for for snails that actually closer to 50% larger. The filet mignon was solid, not amazing but a decent steak. It came with a large piece of foie gras on top (much larger than what you would get in LA). The steak and foie gras sat on top of Darphin potatoes which basically is just hash browns. But hey i love me some hash browns so bonus points for that. The one sore spot to our experience was that the first waiter we got was pretty snooty and rude...for some reason halfway through we got another waiter (we didn't say anything) and the second guy was much better. read more

I came to this restaurant twice. The first time was a great experience. Excellent food and service. The server explained to us that the food is very expensive because the tip and tax is already included in the food so that we didn't have to tip, but we still gave him tip at the end because we loved his service and honesty. Couple days later we came back to eat again because we really loved and enjoyed this place. We finished eating and the same server came and gave us our check and he said "the tip is not included" and he was standing behind us waiting for us to leave some tips before we can leave. I just find it a little rude that the same server was not an honest person at all. It was like a feeling of pressure and forcing us to do something. That was of course not a great feeling. Overall, the food was great. The server often forgets about our orders and he was not attentive but we understood that because the restaurant is understaffed. I loved the Parsley, garlic, oil escargot (big snails). I ordered 36 escargots for $70. I also tried the frog legs, bone marrow and a side of potatoes. It was delicious! The oysters were really fresh. But the steak was ok, nothing special. I personally didn't really like the onion soup. The total came out to almost $160 for two person. It was a bit pricey but the food was wonderful. read more

This was our first meal after arriving to Paris. With escargot in its name, we thought it had to be amazing. The snails were good, not the best, and there are different flavors like cheese, truffle, or classics. They also serve very big snails but they weren't that much bigger. I was a little disappointed with the duck confit as it tasted dry. The onion soup was also very average. What stands out is its winding staircase and elegant decor that makes you feel like your back in time about 5 centuries ago read more

Service terrible and the waiter was really rude to my girlfriend when she got hurt from eating the frog leg. The waiter told her of course there's bone in the frog leg and she almost eat frog leg everyday how can we not know. And he yelled at my girlfriend and even her gum was bleeding. Plus there was a fly in the juice and the waitress was like can you not get it out and drink. I was so shocked She wanted me to drink the juice with fly inside???? And I talked to the same waiter and he said ok I change u one but he literally just took the juice with fly and poured into a smaller cup and handed to me? WHAT IS THIS???? This restaurant is really under consideration. And they really rude and racist. People need to rethink before deciding to come. There so many other good restaurants than this one. And I paid 91 euro for this kind of bad service???? I REALLY PISSED!!!! ALSO SEE HOW DIRTY THEIR BOTTLE IS???? IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET DIARRHEA OR END UP IN HOSPITAL PLEASE DONT COME. read more

They are racists. Here is why. They cancelled my reservation upon arrival. I made a reservation weeks ahead of the time and even confirmed with them on the phone on the day of my reservation. Upon arrival, they did not greet me and my family and before I could speak they said no tables were available. I informed them I had a reservation and provided my name. They said no such name was on the list. I told them I spoke with a staff on the phone that day and she confirmed the reservation. It was a good thing I remembered the name of the person who confirmed the reservation on the phone. When I told them the name that I spoke to on the phone, they made a face and begrudgingly told me to wait. They told us to wait outside because there were other customers who needed to be seated even though we were there first. After a long time someone came out and led us into the restaurant. While we were walking, we were able to see the restaurant at the main level. There were plenty of tables and the crowd was all white. We were led through a narrow hall where servers were carrying trays full of food and we had to squeeze by them. When we got to the upstairs room through very narrow metal staircase, we saw that all asians were seated in this area. They took forever giving us the menu, took so long to take our orders, did not check up on us, food was cold and was not at all fresh or tasty. Terrible service, terrible food, just all around horrible place. How can they explain all asians crammed into one room? Racist restaurant full of racist staff. read more

Came here for escargot specifically, and while they were tasty, they were far too expensive in my opinion. I've been to many other establishments for these delights but these seemed severely overpriced. Nonetheless, they tasted great! We also got a great bottle of Chablis, a cheese plate, and a perfect steak tartare. You can say we were definitely celebrating French food at its best. Service was very nice and we got to enjoy an afternoon of French bliss. While I say I would come back, it would probably be for other French delicacies vs escargot, cause I'll find those elsewhere. read more

Amazing food! Lived out my Parisian dream haha! Service was fine and vibes were good! Will be coming back for sure

L'Escargot Montorgueil can considered as a long standing Parisian institution - established in 1832. They have a variety of dishes entree (or "plats"), but they specialize in snails/escargots. My family loves escargots, and the options of places that serve them in the states are just so-so, usually a french or french fusion place. Basically a tourist trap. It IS however, a reliable place to have escargot and frog legs, if you want to check that off your bucket list. Come for that, and no more- you'll be disappointed in the rest of the food. Probably the second worst service we received in Paris...which isn't saying a lot, but it's saying something! read more

This was just a great dining experience for my wife and myself. Our host from the Air BnB that we were staying at reccommended this restaurant after my wife asked for a place that serve snails in the shell. After a short 10 minute walk there it was. While there is plenty of outdoor seating, (everything in Paris is built around plenty of outdoor seating,) we chose to sit inside since a lot of people were smoking outside. We were immediately seated in the rear room of this older establishment. The restaurant was just charming, exactly what I expected. The low lighting (but plenty to see your food) was perfect. The entire staff was wonderful, each person saying hello "bonjour" as we walked in. Our waitress greeted us moments after we sat down and was nothing less then delightful. She spoke perfect English (which helped) and explained that she is from Poland where she has been studying English all her schooling career. I can not compliment her enough. Everyone we met and spoke to in Paris was special. Everyone is so proud of their city. A glass of Bordeaux and Sauvingion Blanc along with a cheese platter was a great way to start the evening. We were watching the snails being served to everyone. I mean, this particular restaurant is know for their snails. We ordered one dozen snails in garlic butter. I must say... they were amazing. Helene and I were not used to eating them out of the shell so some of them took a bit of work, but it was easy. We noticed that they used a lot of parsley. They were delicious and dipping the bread in the garlic butter sauce just completed a perfect serving. We then moved on to the Boeuf Bourguignon. Now I now where to order this dish... Paris. It was perfect tasty gravy over delicious (2 large) succulent pieces of beef. Had to have dessert and it had to be Creme Brûlée and yes, it was special. It was creamy, plenty of melt in your mouth taste. This place is a must if you're in the area and we enjoyed it so much that we went back a second time during our four day stay in the area. There was so much life and excitement in the area. Paris is just a beautiful place with some really good restaurants! read more

Nice experience! The food was solid- had the seared foie gras (excellent), the beef tartar (not great as it was barely seasoned) and fish (yum). Service was superb- our waiter was so attentive and friendly. The setting was lovely- we chose to eat outside but for colder months, the interior looked very pretty. The desserts looked great but we had no room for them. We also noticed, as many reviewers have, that the onion soup looked great. When we were there, the weather was so hot that a large warm soup did not appeal to us but it is on my list for next time. A great choice of restaurant in this area. read more

I had high hopes for this place but after it was all said and done I was mildly pleased. We ordered the escargot for an appetizer and they were tasty. For the next course we ordered some steaks! When the steaks came out mine was a bit over cooked but I didn't worry about it. The flavor of the steak was ok but nothing to write home about. To be honest, I can cook a better steak than these guys can. Ehhh. The wine selection was great however. We really enjoyed a cab and a Pino that was suggested to us. Very smooth and tasty. The best part of the experience was the wait staff. The hostess was great and sat us immediately while the waiter was knowledgeable and quick with our order. Bravo to this place for hiring great workers. In all the experience was good. Just not my favorite in Paris. read more

More escargots and frog legs - which were really good. Service was fine - mix of locals and tourists.

This is exactly what it says. I would recommend getting a reservation, but we were lucky and got a table, with the condition that we don't take more than 90 minutes, we were close, but you have to remember that service in Paris is slower than in the States. That is a good thing, and it was an enjoyable meal. Of course, we ordered wine, and Escargot...different varieties. I liked them all, but the spicy ones with chili oil were my favorite. read more

Everything was amazing, the staff and ambience is outstanding. Great place to have lunch or dinner.

An old time charm with red velvet seats and dark wooden table is what you should expect walking into this 1832 established restaurant. The service was great, despite some of the other reviews on poor or spotty service. Our server was very timely attentive and gracious. Started with escargots, they were good but not the best we have had. Followed by two different Foi Gras on the menu. The whole dock Foi Gras was good but I expected a bit larger portion, and flavor from this dish. The French onion soup lacked some flavor and needed a bit of salt. The steak and Foi Gras as well as the sweet bread entrees were just perfectly done. In summary, good food but I am sure you can find better as we have in the past in Paris for the price. read more

This was our first stop after landing in Paris, France. My sister recommended their bone marrow and escargot and that's exactly what we got. My hubby and I devoured the marrow, it was delicious....fat on toasted carbs...who wouldn't love it. But the real reason we came was for the escargot - we got 12 of the classic ones and it was gross. I've had escargot before many time, so it's not like i wasn't used to snails. The sauce they cooked this in just had a really weird taste. The service was also very spotty. I had made a reservation but upon arrival, they had no record of us. Thankfully, it was lunch time and there were plenty of tables. The waiter was slow slow slow (but eventually we came to realize this was the French style) and forgot part of our order. He was very friendly towards the end though so all is forgiven for his lack of attention previously. But i would recommend trying some other place for escargot...i'm sure there are plenty! read more

We had a great time here. Before heading home to the USA, I just had to experience some "typically known" French food. Our French waiter (spoke English which was helpful) was fantastic and made us laugh. He was amused when I ordered 3 starters for my main meal - the mixed Escargot (traditional, cheese and truffle), frogs legs and (French) onion soup!! I had never eaten snails served this way with the shell - they were melt in your mouth with flavor. All 3 flavors were good! Frogs legs were delicious, tender with good flavor. The soup was good; with a lot more cheese than I'm accustomed to in a good way. I finished off my meal with crème brûlée which was amazing!! Thankful for the portion size . read more

Racism against Asians is alive and well here. This restaurant sat as many Asian people as they could in the BACK of the restaurant. When I asked a server with a blue shirt and a man bun to take the order of the table next to me because they kept ignoring them, he chose to continue to ignore them. When I confronted him about it towards the end he said "THEY" always demand service right away like they own the waiters. As a server myself, I know what he means and this was NOT the case at all. They were being deliberately ignored. I told him that was not at all what happened and they were being very nice and asking politely for help. There were several waiters that ignored them purposefully. I will never come to this restaurant again, and if you don't believe in racism, I suggest you don't come to this restaurant again either. read more
