We met a friend outside the train station and cross the street for a bite to eat. They had recently discovered it and thought it to be a reliable French bistro. We were not disappointed inside fabulous retro 1980s bistro. Mirrors everywhere... Service was fast the place was busy. The soup was as delicious and my husband & friend loved their sausage. While, it's known as a seafood restaurant we did not sample any of that, but many of the other diners were enjoying oysters on the half shell read more

My husband and I were visiting Paris after a very long and cold day in Disney. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a very big smile and he was so courteous! Even offering us a menu in English when he saw us from afar struggling. The food was amazing! First time trying snails and they were delicious! The servers were hard to flag down, they were running around like crazy and it almost felt like a bother asking them for something but we were pleasantly surprised by the yummy food and peaceful atmosphere of L'Européen! read more

L'Europeen is a solid choice cafe among the many across Paris. I was here twenty years ago and several months ago this year and it delivers each time. It can be a busy place, but one is greeted in the customary French manner and you can opt for indoor seating when the weather is not cooperating, as it has been each time I have been here. It is conveniently located across from Gare de Lyon and the nearby tube station. Given I had just arrived from CDG and had not checked into my hotel, they were accommodating and well prepared to check my bags at the desk, which seems a regular thing across from the train station. The specials are quite the value proposition. I chose the oysters as an appetizer and flank steak with shallots as the entree. My total, including beer, was less than thirty Euros. The oysters were fresh, served simply with lemons on the half shell with the brine retained. The flank steak was cooked to medium rare temperature that managed a slight crust without grilling. Simple pleasures. The menu is extensive and pay attention to the specials. It's hard to go wrong with whatever you order. Four stars. read more

We decided to eat here because it was close to the hotel we were staying at. The place looked classy and lively enough and was busy on a Saturday evening. Both dishes we ordered were incredibly uninspiring and boring. If you're in Paris and like bland food and afraid to try new things, this would be the place for you. Service was good, food was disappointing. read more

Great service from the staff, escargot was excellent, people watching top notch. The serve Grimbergen Dubble which was a huge bonus. I'll be back! read more

Decided to try this place since it's close to the train station. Was very disappointed in the onion soup. Cheese is okay, but the soup itself is very bland, compared to what I have in the US. I need to try more place to see if this is how it suppose to be or what, but so far I don't like it. The bulot is good but might have upset my stomach a little bit after; the sauce is a little too garlic-y on its own but matches well with the food. Service is super slow, but I think it's just how it is here. read more

Fresh seafood and good service! I opted for the cold seafood platter came with 6 oysters, 2 prawns, mussels & clams for €28 was very good! My hubby got the sea bass €26 and onion soup for €9, wines were €9-18 a glass! Bordeaux wine was excellent and the chocolate ice cream was definitely made of cacao and lots of it! read more

Bad experience. Was just here. Worst service ever. The service staff make you sit in an awkward place if you are alone. And they laugh at you for being alone. The recommended fish was so bad. Just very bad. Also not friendly for Africans or foreigners. They clearly smile and offer a better experience to others just next. Hated the experience. If you are of the same profile as me you would not like the experience. Wasted experience. read more

This was my go to fine dining restaurant in Paris. So much so, I had to eat here twice. It's located right across the street from the train station. Nice ambience, good tasting food, and excellent service. Didn't notice any indoor smoking. When you walk in, you must show your covid vaccination passport/card to the lovely hostess. Had the hanger steak both times, with a side of green beans the first time and a side of fries on the second visit. Had to order the crème brûlée for dessert on both occasions. It's a fairly large sized crème brûlée, but consumed it all, of course. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Paris. What this restaurant offers is a very upscale dining environment yet very accessible to all customers. This restaurant has a very good menu. The food they offer here is based on French cuisine. Every meal I have ever eaten here is well-prepared with a very nice presentation. They also offer a very good drink menu with a large selection of wine. In terms of interior design, this restaurant has its primary dining area plus a very nice bar area. When you enter, the host or hostess will ask you if you have come in for a meal or simply drinks and they will then seat you in the appropriate section. The staff here are all very nice and very friendly. Though this restaurant tends to get crowded in the evening, and the staff may become a bit busy, they always take very good care of their customers. One of the interesting things about this restaurant is that, due to the fact that it is across the street from the train station, a good percentage of the clientele will enter with their suitcases in tow. This is not a problem, it is just something that is unique and a bit different from your average up-scale Paris restaurant. Overall, great place to eat and/or have a drink. read more

Just came back from this restaurant ordering scallops for 33 euros and it was so badly and overcooked! They proposed it with a 'sauce vierge' that had nothing to do with the original recipe, tons of celery and NO OLIVE OIL! Server said it was the sauce vierge du chef... gasp and all this attitude towards it is unacceptable. Avoid this place! read more

Walked in and ate at the bar. Everything was wonderful. Great service and impeccably prepared food. Service was astute and the décor was a look back at opulence. read more

L'Européen - Beautiful and delicious Tête de veau - Brasseries Near Me - Paris, 75

I keep reading about good service and unfortunately my brother and I had terrible time with that. Waiter was rushing every moment of the conversation. I was brought the wrong starter, I didn't say anything because it was my second choice and I'd been walking all day so it was nice to finally eat something. Then I was almost brought the wrong meal, not sure how salmon was almost mistook for ribeye. Speaking of the food it was just alright and lacking flavor. I'd put it on par with an Applebees or Chilis in the states. I asked the waiter for a wine menu and I didn't get that until 20 minutes later, also in that time waiter took my water cup halfway through the meal and so I just drank out of the bottle at that point. By the time we got the menu my brother said he was good and he almost took it away, again acting too swiftly, because I didn't get to say I'm the one who wanted wine. It was a Monday, and half the tables were open. I saw a table begging for someone to take their order, and eventually they asked for the manager. Saw a kid have to go to the table with the glassware to get a cup from the waiter. Not sure if terrible waiters or just a bad day, but they need to be more frequent at the tables, and slow down their time. Mistakes were made and this was very disappointing. read more

Poor poor service. My family ( husband, 2 teenagers and I) were seated 20 minutes with no water, or waiter service. Unfortunately, other tables close by were being served. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a friendly and unbiased atmosphere. read more

Food was very good. Had the salmon and wine and I enjoyed it. Many seafood items but they have a kids menu. Great family place and large parties. Very helpful. read more

Disclaimer. Stars awarded are relative. This is next to a train station and is above average for such places. Service was less slow than other spots nearby who seated and ignored us. If you go, do ask to be seated even outside. The server was nice and responsive when assigned. She came back any checked on us. French A- (Grading on curve) The menu has a backbone, it's seafood based. Not much else. We had the onion soup( that's what they call French onion soup in France Karen) and the Burrata. Both were good and came with fresh bread and tapenade. Did not try seafood as we just got off plane and were 'lagging. Location. You are across from train station so that is the view. It's on a busy street but French bustle is entertaining. Tables are more spaced so smoke not too noticeable. One homeless guy made his case. No biggie. read more

I ordered off the formula portion of the menu and for 35 euros I was served the following: Baquet with butter and olive anchovy tapenade A glass of an aperitif Half a bottle of wine A large bottle of Vittel water An appetizer ( I ordered the fish soup) The rump steak with peppercorn sauce and fries A cheese plate Tart tatin ( apple pie) One expresso The service was great, this place is large so we were seated quickly. The decor is a inviting with red leather chairs, attractive lighting fixtures and well dressed staff. The serving sizes are ample sized and you will not walk away hungry. This review covers our second dining experience at this establishment. We ate there a few days before once we got off the train at the Gare de Lyon. It was almost midnight and were we staving. We ordered a platter the Choucroute Royale, this platter was stacked high with a ham hock, 4 differed sausages, thick slices of ham, potatoes and Sauerkraut. It was so large we couldn't finish this platter took it home and ate the remainder for breakfast. It was delicious and perfect for the chilly weather in Paris at this time. This place is known for its seafood. If I con the hubby in to returning to this place a third time that is what I will try next! read more

Old school classy restaurant just across from the train station I use to come and go from Paris. Great staff and good food. I'm impressed at the quality, considering what a large establishment it is...enormous by Parisian standards, but given the location, across the street from a major train station, it's not surprising that they do very well. read more

Perfect place to eat people are very welcoming food is amazing highly recommended I will come again whenever passing by

Stopped here for a late lunch after arriving in the city. Had a front row table to watch the world go buy. Oysters, winkles and sea bass washed down with the house Maçon Villages. Good was decent, timing was French, but okay. A little bit pricey for what you get, but, it is Paris! read more

The service is terrible, and the food is worse. It's certainly not fancy - it would seem fancy to people who don't know but I think it's a facade. C'est faux. Trust me don't waste you're time. I speak French as a second language so no miscommunication. When I arrived they were serving some people but not others laying out confusing rules about who can and can't eat - extremely weird. When food was finally able to be served it was awful. All the tables around us got wrong orders and the food we did get was awful. Trust me- it's Paris- the greatest city for cuisine. There are way better places. read more

This place was soo cold , I had to keep all my coats on. The food was also cold had to send it back to get it warmed up. The staff is nice they just need a better cook. I would not eat here again and I always come to the courtyard Marritto two blocks away read more

I ordered too much food and could not finish. I asked waiter to pack it. Wait 25 minutes he came back and told me that they don't have any diggie bag for me to pack the leftover. what a joke!!! The food is mediocre and people there are cold like fish !!! i don't recommend this restaurant at all . read more

BEWARE OF BARTENDER!!! ZERO STARS!!! THIS IS HOW PARIS WAITERS/BARTENDERS GET THEIR REPUTATION. I sat down at the bar by myself to order a sandwich. I set my AirPods down and reached for a menu. The bartender walked up, grabbed my AirPods, and threw them behind the bar and walked off. I told him to come back several times and he ignored me as if nothing had happened. I leaned forward across the bar and could see one AirPod in the well below the beer taps. I told him to hand it to me and find the other one, which he was not really interested in doing. Finally after I raised my voice he half-assed looked around the bar and said "sorry". I asked him if it was in his pocket at which he began to fume at ME because I evidently insulted him.... but he was the one that took the AirPods away in the first place and threw them.... I would call that a thief. I finally involved two managers. They acted as if this was a common occurrence. One manager finally found the other AirPod in two inches of water/beer at the bottom of the beer tap shelf. No apologies, no nothing, just handed me back my other AirPod which surprisingly still worked. STAY AWAY!!! read more

3.5 stars! A very busy restaurant close by the Holiday Inn we stayed next to the Gare de Lyon train station. It opened until 1am so it's pretty convenient. Oysters were fresh and the onion soup was pretty good. The duck breast we ordered was just so-so since it's a bit too dry. Waiters and servers were pretty friendly. Over it's an okay to try :) read more

Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. The food was less than fair. It was bland and boring. Overall a three star mostly because the service was very good per other French restaurants I visited. read more

The oyster was great , my steak was undercooked even though I asked for medium. The 2 stars are mainly due to the service. It was terrible. $200 bill and NO drink refills, food needed to be returned for proper cooking and multiple occasions had to beg for service. Spend your money elsewhere. At least somewhere that would appreciate you. read more

A very nice classic parisienne brasserie We ordered a big plate of oysters and they where really fresh and delicious. Ambiance big brasserie, really worth a visit. read more

We got a recommendation to try this place. It was ok .. and extremely expensive. About 40 euros a person. I had the fish special .. something called Barbue .. it was very good. But $50+ good? No. They seems to focus on oysters, so if that is your thing it may justify a look. Otherwise not a brasserie I would recommend strongly. read more

This brasserie is located near our apartment and across the street from the Gare de Lyon train station. It is very busy, but we always manage a seat. Unlike many others, this brasserie can either be a fast or slow experience, which is nice for a quick visit. We had the Traditional Hamburger and the Sole Meunere (?) as well as fish with sauerkraut. We have been twice so far and we have come to like it and it's reliable. Menus in English and the staff speak some as well. Service is great and friendly. read more

Only giving 2 stars for decent service and being open late. Just had one of the most awful meals I've had in years. My husband ordered his steak cooked Medium and it came completely raw inside. They went to cook it longer and it only the very outside was cooked at all. Still raw when it came back. I ordered fish and mashed potatoes after not being able to order the first two things I requested on the menu and the fish was completely flavorless, hard on the outside (not from a nice seat) and the bowl was filled with water from the previously frozen filet. The mashed potatoes and wine were about the best past of the meal. Highly recommend staying away unless you like crappy, old diner-like food that is so poorly cooked and has no flavor! read more

I had a great experience here. The food was wonderful - I had carpaccio for a starter, beef for my main meal and Pistachio Ice Cream for dessert. There were four of us and we all had a great dish as well as good service and lots of wine. Atmosphere of the crowd made it even more enjoyable. It was a mix of regulars, transit patrons and tourists. read more
