This is from our visit in March 2018. We didn't have reservations so we got in line early for a dinner table. We were the first two in line so when the doors opened at 8 - we were able to get a small table. The restaurant is located behind the bar and is very small - it seats only 20-30 people. However, if you're craving steak in Paris - it's probably one of the best Argentine steakhouses around. The theme is very Heavy Metal and the menu has a lot of sexual innuendos so if you're rather conservative then you might have a problem but then again you probably won't be staying on this side of the city. The service was excellent - we had one waitress for the entire room but she was on top of everything! Best service we had for our entire Paris trip! The food was decent - not the best steak but not the worst. The portions on the steak were small but the portion size for the potatoes was huge. Make sure to get the extra sauce assortment and try them all with both the steak and potatoes. I ordered a chicken salad which came a little too drenched in dressing - not sure if that was normal or they thought I'd like it that way being from the states. Creme brûlée was decent. We also ordered empanadas as an appetizer - they resembled a pair of testicles - we got a kick out of that! In summary, decent food (maybe a little $$ for the quality) but the service was excellent and the theme was entertaining - heavy metal and sex. We bought a t-shirt to remember our night. read more

Le Black Dog - Exterior of Restaurant at night - Bars Near Me - Paris, 75

The Black Dog may be just down the block from Paris' legendary jazz clubs, but make no mistake about it: this is a true heavy metal bar. (I think? They apparently serve up Argentine style steakhouse specialties and run specials on empanadas) The beer selection is somewhat limited, but the prices are cheap for the area (all the more so during their happy hour from 17:00-21:00, where a pint of a local lager runs just €3). The music is a mix of old school thrash metal and newer death metal/black metal tracks, with a small bar area and dining space upstairs, smokers patio outside, and larger area in the basement. Throw on your vintage Exodus t-shirt and headbang the night away. read more

Not sure that the famous gastronomic chroniclers of the chic Saint-Germain-des-Près district ventured much into this cutthroat-like cave, whose facade, and few sinister terrace smokers, would make run to mother's skirts all good Kitty of the 16th arrondissement. Unless slumming. Enough mumbo jumbo. What do we eat?!!! Black poodle in a hot dog? Maybe when the restaurant opened. Today, we are with sublime pieces of Argentine meat, cooked to perfection (if your request is such), i.e., not exceeding the rare. Beyond that, confers the patibulars mentioned above. They will teach you how to live. The nicknames of the dishes are in keeping with the atmosphere of the place, juggling between the lomo Erectus, the death penalty, the metal machine, or the Valhalla. Of course, you have some dishes that will only arouse the enthusiasm of the most loyal of Michael Buble or Barry Manilow, such as grilled chicken or vegan meatballs. Let's be clear, not the best on the menu. So yes, in short, the meats are superb in terms of quality and cooking. You feel that both the service and the kitchen light a candle in your memory when you ask for "rare" cooked meat. This one will be served to you cooked on the surface without being charred and hot inside. So no complaints. On the side a wide choice of various sauces at 1 euro each. There will always be a war between those who consider that it should be included in the price and those who think the diversity of the six sauces justifies the supplement. I'll consider doing a thesis on this... Am I dithyrambic? Well, let's say the desserts are a little "special". The only one out of the ordinary is "alien eggs". And we're more into the fun stuff than the end-of-meal happiness. These are fried dough with a cream that is unlikely to be used in gastronomy. With a pretty caramel pentagram... Plus a little whipped cream. Come on; we'll forgive you by saying it's for fun... Very good Malbec Argentinian Trapiche to accompany all this. There is still the scene... I put the almost maximum score on this point because I love it. I do not doubt that some will see a slight satanic influence. They are right! Bill of 250 euros for four people. read more

We went here for the steaks. They weren't serving food yet. The restaurant in the rear wasn't open. The bar was open. All I can say is that visiting for the Euro Metalheads is worth a visit. The drinks were well priced especially for this part of Paris. I want to eat steaks here next time we visit Paris. read more

Do not judge a book by its cover. We are visiting Paris and found this restaurant on yelp. We were not sure if we wanted to go in when we walked up but a friendly customer outside saw us looking at the menu and said the food is really good so we decided to just go inside. We came right when the kitchen closed and the cook decided to let us stay and eat. The waitress was the best one we've had since we got to Paris. She had great recommendations, friendly and very efficient. The plates had huge portions and was delicious. I definitely recommend coming here. read more

Le Black Dog - Ribeye with chimichurri sauce - Bars Near Me - Paris, 75

Really cool counter-culture bar/restaurant. Very Heavy Metal. Right up my alley!. It's in a sweet neighborhood right out of Le Marais. Service was good. Food was good but I loved the music and overall ambience. Would definitely recommend this place and go back with a group of friends. read more

Le Black Dog - Bars Near Me - Paris, 75

Good food and fantastic experience. The steak is good, not as good as Sullivan's or an upscale American steakhouse, but cooked perfectly and delicious charbroiled flavor. The empanadas were awesome and a pint of beer was $3. Yep delicious and cold. The topper was the desert. 4 of us ate it and it was $6. Posting a picture with the sweetest waitress holding it. Interesting young crowd of metal heads and a smattering of others, but the music was raw but not loud. We could easily talk at our table which was a concern. The waitress was fantastic. Best waitress we had in Paris. Everyone in the bar was nice and friendly including the tatted up patrons. Just a fun time and not over priced at all. read more

See all

Came for the beer and the metal - got heaps of both. Fun place in energetic Le Marais. Didn't have the food, so can't comment, but the beer was cheap (by Paris standards) and the metal was LOUD. I'll say one thing about the clientele and metal fans in general - no matter where in the world you may travel, they are the friendliest, most welcoming people you will ever meet. read more

This place exemplified the mantra "never judge a book by its cover." When I got to this place I thought maybe I shouldn't go inside this can't be the place everyone is raving about. Then I thought, no we've come too far! I went inside and immediately got a bunch of stares being that I was dressed way too clean cut for the average patron at Black Dog. I snooped around and saw a bunch of people chowing down straight ahead in the back area. The place was PACKED. I don't know a lick of French but the waitresses there were more than accommodating and found us a table and gave us a menu in English. I also happened to sit in the same seat at the same table the lead singer from Amon Amarth did when he ate here. The steaks are imported from Argentina and the owner created the place after falling in love with Argentina upon visiting. And the title is, yes, named after the Led Zeppelin tune. However you won't really hear that being played much. There's something to be said for eating some Argentinean ribeye and having Pantera's "F*cking Hostile" played in the background. My steak also came with potato wedges that were unbelievable and an assortment of sauces. The desserts are just as good as the steaks and everything is made fresh to order. If you are in Paris you have to check this place out. read more

I'm not goth. Or a metalhead, or anything of the like, but I LOVE the Black Dog. So much so that I'm giving it 5 stars, a rare occassion for me... To be honest, I don't go for the bar. I walk in the bar, a couple of stairs in the back and sit down for a nice, big piece of meat. Not only are the steaks of far better quality than most places in Paris, but the sauces empanadas are beyond addictive. Seriously, I could drink the morel sauce by the bucket. Also, the servers are as nice as they come. Really. Awesome. Go. Now. read more

Got two nice steaks with fried potatoes, delicious Roquefort and chimmichuri sauces. Pitcher of cold beer. 36 euros, a tremendously good value for the neighborhood. Plus it's cool to head through the dark smoky metal bar up to the dining room at the back. My tourist survival French was accepted and worked with cheerfully. Our waitress was helpful, attentive, and smiling. We went twice in twelve days. Go here if you just want a steak and chips and beer and don't want to drop a hundred euros on it. read more

Came here not expecting much as I'm a black vegan visiting from New York. When we arrived the scene was definitely not what we were used to - heavy metal music, leather-wearing, tatted up, "gothic" people, and a few anti-Christ symbols present. The people were nice and we were seated right away. There was a vegan dish available and I couldn't believe it! It was delicious and my mother enjoyed her meat dish as well. The mixed drinks weren't strong, so please note if you're going there to get wasted. Pleasant experience if you don't mind the heavy metal and an upside down cross or two. read more

The only alternative pub we found in Paris, but it was brilliant. They had good metal/punk music playing and it was the kinda place where everyone had tattoos and wore black, like us. The staff were great, the prices were very reasonable and they had absinthe. read more

When William B is in town this is always a must stop. For a city as compacted as Paris they actually have ample parking Stop by, you'll be treated like a regular. read more

Best Steaks in the city cheap pints I'm not goth but Love good and cheap.

We have two young kids (7 and 11) so my husband was way skeptical when we walked up, but luckily a young women outside having a smoke convinced us to proceed. Waitress was beyond fabulous especially patient with the kids and the food was great. Would go back again if in town. read more

Atmosphere is unique. Think Black Sabbath meet Argentine steak. Heavy metal themed bar and restaurant seem like a dungeon. Waitress was very helpful and prompt, and steak was plenty and decent. But the overall quality of food was average although the portion is large. Very unusual decor makes this an interesting place to have casual place with friends. read more

2,5 euros for a pint of beer in the quartier latin?check. background music from nu to black metal?check. nice people that know more than 5 titles of real heavy music?check. at first, it might look spooky, with all those nude lady paints, bikers with long bears and skull heads everywhere. but if you're a fan of thematic places with a suitable entourage, well, that place will surely please you. read more

New favourite pub in Paris. Decent music (rock/metal), friendly crowd, great steak in the back (tequila and chilli sauce) and cheap drinks by Paris standards. Will definitely return. read more

Love!!! So happy to find a metal bar in Paris that plays music we love! Great happy hour specials and even made some friends!! Can't wait to go back tomorrow!! read more

A fine place for some steak, drinks, and great tunes. The environment was welcoming despite my communication having been limited to pointing and grunting. read more

Googled steak places and found Le Black Dog. Had a really good rib eye. Dessert and good red wine. Interesting interior "heavy metal" theme and back ground music. Definitely will go back. read more

Metalheads, goths, but also most other underground subcultures meet here for pints, music and book launches, and lets not forget good argentinian food! How can you not love a place that offers 'metalleuses', 'triplettes' for the main course and a 'Bloody orgasm' for desert? And you can also get 1Kg of meat at a cheaper price for your birthday if you're under 72. read more

Bring your tattoos, piercings, and metal. Pretty dark bar with a crowd to nicely contrast it nicely.

This is a nice 'metal' bar if you're into that scene. It's got a very metal vibe, not a bad turnover of people, good music. I went on a weekday so it was a little empty- if you have the option you may want to go on a weekend. Either way it was a nice place to pass the time. Next to it is a meat restaurant, & it's a 30 seconds walk to 'le klub' which is supposed to be a metal club by the same owner. read more

Heavy metal and good steaks and cheap beers. can't miss.

I didn't get a chance to eat at Black Dog, just went in for a drink. It is certainly something different, at least for my tastes. Heavy metal, decently priced drinks and a lot of metal looking folk at this establishment. The Jameson was a nice pour and from the pictures the reasturant in back looks very good. If I go to paris again and I want a nice piece of meat, I might come back to this location. Luckily for those eating, the music is muffled. read more

I love this place it has great food. I love their steaks and drinks will definitely come back here when I go back to Paris

Totally rockin' and hidden Punk rockers unite in Paris! Definitely a good place to toss a beer back but don't forget to check out the small, upstairs restaurant. The owner is an amazing cook with recipes from Argentina and France and around the world. Kick-ass political quotes and discussions punctuate the room. Good place for vegetarians as there is a meatless option, too. read more

Cheap beers, loud music, doesn't always serve food! If you want to eat the steak, call ahead of time!

Heavy metal dive bar with copious amounts of meat that you order by the kilogram. You're either going to love this place or hate it. The beer selection is a bit limited though, reminded me of being in college, but the ambiance and cool layout made up for it, as well as hearing death metal for the first time in years in a public place and the great company and gigantic portions of meat. Probably one of the only places in Chatelet worth going to, and it's right next to Le Marais to have some less abusive food or a delicious glass of Scotch at the Auld Alliance! read more

Second time I've been to the Black Dog, and it was as fantastic as the first time. It's like every Rock club, black paint and loud metal, but it's good natured. I'm a middle-aged short haired Brit, So don't let the tattoos and piercings put you off! The food is just awesome. We had the Lomo Erectus steak, just perfect, with Roquefort sauce and Pepper sauce. It's the best steak anywhere, period. It isn't cheap, but it isn't wildly expensive by Paris standards. The service is brilliant, our waitress looked like a Death Metal Rachel Stevens and catered for everything we needed without being intrusive. It's a pretty unique restaurant experience, eating at the back of a biker bar, but just try it and you'll be back! read more

Returned one year later. OK I know what they say about returning. This time we needed to make a reservation. Meal was only average- cold plates, cold beans. Still good service and beer at 4.50 a pint. Won't be rushing back though. read more
