    Escargot and French onion soup
    Mitra T.

    Quiet restaurant in St Germain. Traditional French fare, portions not overly large. Good service.

    Rabbit

    Great place, ambience, food were excellent and great service. Flavors of the food we had were all good. We tried the muscles a d escargot for appetizers and our main dishes were shrimp, rabbit and beef are a must try!

    onion soup
    Catherine T.

    If you're in the area and you need an affordable filling meal and are willing to compromise a bit on flavor, they have a good lunch deal. The onion soup was pretty flavorless and had no body to it. The steak au poivre was a very flat cut with a hard sear that ended up pretty tough. The fries that came with it were just okay but served very hot so they were tasty before they cooled off. The crème brûlée was not remarkable but it was decent and probably the best part of the meal. I had a bite of someone else's duck and found the orange too sweet. You could do worse for a meal and I was satisfied but you could also certainly do better.

    Three Cheese Fondue: Excellent cheese, as one would expect in France, and the options for dipping included some sliced meats and little lightly fried potatoes that were just delightful. You can control your own heat on the cheese spit and although I was not the master at this (my cheese was occasionally a frigid mass or a boiling pot of lava) it made it extra fun and fancy. Compared to fondue places in the U.S. this was much more casual and wayyyy cheaper. 5/5 Escargot: While in France I ordered an escargot dish every single place I went. This one was tasty and I enjoyed the sauce although the escargot were probably mid range quality. I would recommend eating them here if escargot is your thing - but if it's your first time trying the dish save it for another venue. 4/5 Duck breast with black pepper sauce: Trying to decide between the duck and the rabbit, we asked the waiter and he decisively recommended the duck. Duck is definitely the thing in France and even at this little hole-in-the-wall-ish place it was incredible. Very well cooked and super flavorful. There is also the option for a black currant sauce, but I prefer savory to sweet and was happy with this dish for sure. 5/5 Creme brulee: This was not my favorite creme brulee - didn't have that melt in your mouth texture but it was edible. Moderate quality but also moderate price and it's like pizza - this dish is always edible and passably good so I will give it 4/5. The venue is dimly lit and feels like a lodge up in the mountains. There's a big moose head on the wall! It was the perfect safe haven from the rain in December for a filling, less expensive meal in the Latin Quarter of Paris.

    Chocolate cake with creme

    After looking at other restaurants in the area and not wanting to pay 22€ plus for a plate we found this place on Yelp. We saw they had a three course meal for €17.50. They have quite a few choices for that price. You can also upgrade to a different three course meal whic has a few more expensive items. Service was great even when it got super busy. There is English on the menu which was great. Everything was great except my wife's steak was supposed to be medium well and it was medium/medium rare. I ordered the duck breast and it was super tender. I would suggest the chocolate cake for dessert! Overall it was a pretty decent deal compared to other places. Not sure if I would come running back but overall we didn't encounter any problems.

    My friends and I wandered into Le Chalet by pure luck. We were in the mood for fondue but the place we went to around the corner was completely booked for the next hour and a half so we took a stroll and came across this restaurant instead. We were seated immediately at Le Chalet. The general feel of the restaurant is very cozy and warm. They have a pretty large menu with plenty of prix fixe offerings. 3 of us ordered from the fondue options and another opted for some kind of steak. We all started with an order of escargot (as we planned to eat escargot every night we were in town) and as usual, it was a fantastic choice. When our fondue pots arrived simmering with melted cheese, I damn near drooled but managed to contain myself. Our fondue orders came with a plate of deli meats, a side of potatoes and fresh bread. Everything was delicious, cheesy and (unfortunately) very salty. I ate about 85% of my main course as a) still had to make room for their delicious creme brulee and b) didn't wanted to be bloated af from all the sodium. Service was on point, better than what I had experienced in other Paris establishments and the food came out in a timely manner. All in all I really enjoyed this place and would definitely recommend folks to try it out if you're around the area and in the mood for a nice meal!

    Canard a l'orange
    Nancy O.

    Things to love here: Excellent service - somehow lacking in many restaurants around Paris 1/2 bottles of wine - a great way to enjoy two different wines in one sitting Pre-fix menu - you get an appetizer, entree and dessert at a decent price Things you wish you could love The French Cuisine - not very exciting. My duck a l'orange was bland and served with simple boiled small potatoes with no seasoning at all. My husband had the lamb and it was only flavorful because that's just how lamb is. Dessert was also pre-made frozen cups of chocolate mouse or panna cotta. While tasty, it reminded me of the cases of dessert in a diner back in NY. I would return here, but next time, ask the waiter what their best dish on the menu is.

    Rabbit with mustard sauce
    Julie L.

    This place screams ambiance when you see a big moose head in the dining room. =P My Parisian friend took me here on my last night in Paris. Primarily because my boyfriend is a big fan of cheeses and this place has a prix fixe cheese fondue meal. It tooked delicious, but was a little bit above our budget. We opted instead for the other prix fixe menu. The menu list was quite extensive actually. There were a lot of options. For about 16 euros, I ordered 3 courses: *White wine mussels: Tons of fresh mussels. A hint of wine. so good. *Rabbit with mustard cream sauce: Came with a side of boiled potatoes. Loved the mustard cream sauce. For me the rabbit was so-so. Tasted like chicken =P *Chocolate profiteroles - I'm sure this was good. Just not too memorable. Seating was a little tight. Be comfortable with your neighbors. But this would be a great place to eat and people watch since it is located in such a lively neighrhood!

The staff were all friendly and spoke English as well, so it was easy to order. They offer many types of cheese from regions of France, we ordered one of the cheese fondues and a salad. The fondues come with potatoes and bread. We enjoyed the salad and it provided some much needed veggies. The cheese fondue comes in a hotpot and you dip the bread and potatoes into it with a fondue fork. After trying it, I think I prefer cheese only when it's paired with meat, so I probably should've ordered the one with meat. It was also really late and I was quite tired from being out all day, so that may have also contributed to me feeling subpar about the meal. However, if you're a cheese lover, this restaurant should be right up your alley. Come here if you love cheese!

    Best accidental discovery ever!…read more We were wandering the streets of Paris on our last night looking for a restaurant for one last memorable meal. On a whim we came in here because we saw that they served fondue and we thought that would be a good idea for supper. The restaurant name translates into "Fortunate like Alexander" in English. Did that ever turn out to be a fantastic decision. Read on to hear why. The restaurant's owner has to be one of the kindest, charismatic people that I have ever met. He welcomed us with open arms and we got to chat with him quite a bit and learn more about him. He also was very kind to us and gave us many free drinks just because he was a very generous person. This was completely unexpected and we were really grateful for this. In addition to a welcoming owner the atmosphere here in general was just relaxing and inviting. We got talking to the people at the table next to us and it turns out that they were regulars who lived in the neighbourhood and came here frequently because they had befriended the own. Meanwhile two buskers came by who played some mellow guitar music to add to the ambiance. Now I can finally talk about the food. We ordered a simple cheese fondue and it was wildly delicious. It came out very quickly and we enjoyed every mouthful. We were given plenty of bread to soak it all up and there was also a salad included so we could get some vegetables. Honestly my experience was so good here that I was almost sad to leave the restaurant at the end of the night. We wanted a memorable, final meal in Paris and boy did we ever get it. After eating here I feel fortunate like Alexander.

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM.

They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.
