I would highly recommend this charming out of the way restaurant. The service and foid was great. I had a large portion of mussels in white wine and my husband had a beef plate w fresh salad. The menu had an assortment of choices. The house rouge wine was tasty too! read more

We chose this restaurant on this bustling street in Paris as the interior resembled a German hunting lodge full with taxidermied animals. It was different and felt relaxed and cozy and not touristy. We were happy to start out with some cold beers. We ordered the frog legs and the 3 cheese fondue, which did not include Gryuere in the fondue. It came with bread, and we also ordered some meat and potatoes for it. The frog legs were OK, but not great. They were quite small and lacked real garlic and butter so just kind of meh. The fondue was pretty good, but I think the bread should have been cut smaller and perhaps slightly toasted as the bread with the cheese was very chewy and hard to get in my mouth. The potatoes also would have been much better with a taf of seasoning and maybe slightly grilled or quickly pan fried. Service was fine although not very friendly overall. The prices were reasonable and we left full. read more

I had salmon with sorrel sauce and Ratatouille. The salmon is good with the sorrel sauce. It was not too salty and not too creamy. However, I didn't like the ratatouille. They put too much cumin, it tasted like Indian food and it just didn't go. The mussels with wine sauce and the chocolate cake was very good. Service was good and the price was reasonable. read more

Le Chalet Saint-Michel - Escargot and French onion soup - French Near Me - Paris, 75

Absolutely avoid this restaurant. My daughter and I ate a late lunch last week. We ordered fondue for ONE, as the table next to us showed us their fondue pot, and said it was more than enough for two people. The waiter charged us for TWO. Refused to adjust the bill, so I disputed with AMEX. That night my stomach was churning. Next morning I started vomiting for nearly 8 hours straight. Thank god my daughter didn't eat the fondue as the cheese was rancid. I was sick in bed for almost 48 hours. RUINED two days of our 7 day trip. Waiter was a complete jerk as well. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Could not be less pleased Short version: terrible service and bad food Long version: The waiter saw us standing outside, made eye contact and walked away instead of offering us to sit. Once we sat (which the waiter was aware of) it took over 15 minutes to for him to come over and take drink orders while only 3 tables in the restaurant were occupied. I was not hungry but the waiter insisted he would only serve us if we both ordered(while there was 15 open tables at the restaurant), so I was forced to order a plate of fries so my partner could have a meal. The service did not improve throughout as the waiter would reach across us while we ate to clear dishes. The fries were sub-par at thr very best. The French onion soup was was described as my partner as "just okay" and he has better frozen from a grocery store. My partner got the fish for his plate and the descriptions were "meh", "not good" and the vegetables "barely edible". The only reason we stayed for dessert was because it was part of his meal package. Which he got the fruit salad thinking how bad could it be, it did come out slightly brown looking but did taste just fine. Restaurant is an embarrassment to Paris read more

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. read more

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! read more

I was looking for fondue and I got what I wanted. Alpes chalet interior, great list of wines and different french dishes. Nice stuff, speak little English. Fondue is very big and tasty. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Le Chalet Saint-Michel - French Near Me - Paris, 75

This place is right in the heart of the Latin Quarter, near the intersection of Saint Germain and Saint-Michel. On a cobble stone street, the place provide plenty of room to sit down, without bumping elbows with other diners like so many Paris establishments. Has a hunting/ski lodge feel. The prices are right with the Prix Fix menu options and the tap beer was great. I had the beef with wine sauce, which was a very tasty and tender form of beef stew. The Baked French Onion soup was great. Waiter was friendly and helpful. read more

This was the worst fondue restaurant I've ever been to maybe even the worst restaurant that I've been to.... If there was a "no star" review, I would have done that... the quality of food was at its lowest. There was nothing that tasted half good. Save your money and appetite and go somewhere else. read more

We were walking through Saint Michel, when we saw a sign outside promoting their pre fix menu, which was very reasonable for saint Michel restaurants, so we stopped in. The place was empty and quiet and the service was very attentive and nice. I had the onion soup for the appetizer and it was so good. Best I have ever had. The dinner was a disappointment, hence only 4 stars. i ordered the beef bourguignon and the sauce was top notch, but the beef was half fat and it should have never been served. For dessert, I opted for the cheese dessert and they gave be pieces of baguette and brie cheese. It was a great experience read more

Found this restaurant as we were walking through the Latin Quarter in Paris. They have excellent deals that include a starter, entree, and dessert. I got a plate of mussels that were flavorful but too much, and my boyfriend got escargot (we had to try it), fondue, and ice cream. We shared the fondue, and it did not disappoint. The service was good. read more

Nice table outside but the food was not good at all. Steak was tough, burger was bland and dry, pasta was acceptable. Look elsewhere

Great fondue and raclette! My friend got the raclette and I had the fondue, and they knew without asking we were going to share each. The ham plate and potatoes were great and there was SO much food we couldn't finish it all. read more

Situated on the street just behind our apartment, this is the first place we take guests who stay with us. A broad selection of traditional French dishes, with multiple fixed price menus so that virtually everyone can afford something nice, and with mediocre to good food. Despite primarily having only beer and wine, they do have a handful of aperitifs, which allow unfamiliar tourists and visitors to get the much slower (and enjoyable) French style of supper with a little drink, an entree, a nice plat, some dessert, and an actually quite palatable cup of coffee afterward. Since we take virtually everyone who comes to visit us there, I make a point to try something different every time, and honestly I've never had a bad meal there. Like I said, it generally hovers between mediocre and good. Especially nice is the service. Even when we've gone at a busy time, the wait staff are all attentive, polite, and very good at deciphering poorly pronounced French. There are a ton of 'traditional' French restaurants on rue de la harpe and the surrounding area, but many if not most of them are hit and miss as to quality, service, etc. Also, if you're only in town for a short while and want a nice Parisian evening, go a little early, enjoy your dinner, then stop in the little supermarket nearby and grab a bottle of wine, and head a block or two over onto the island, head down to the trees on the western bank and enjoy your wine while overlooking the Seine. read more

I have a tendency to forget what I ordered right after I ordered it. Got a "combo", which included an entree, plate, and dessert went with the middle of the road one at 17 euro. Picked escargot, duck breast and two cheeses for dessert. The escargot was exactly what I expected, but the duck breast was ridiculously good. Instantly reminded me of a super expensive steakhouse. read more

Awful experience. The food was served cold, except the French onion soup which was ok. The servers didn't pay much attention. When we complained they didn't care and just microwaved the plate!!!! The looks of the place is cozy, however it read more

Awesome place! Quiet and apart from the main street but still nearby. The prices were great and you get waaay better food than what you pay for! Highly recommend it! read more

Inedible food, avoid at all costs. Granted once you have fondue in the Alps anything else will pale in comparison but the food here was abysmal. Fondue was runny, more like processed cheese "product" you could find in a US gas station, charcuterie was incredibly low quality, I had one bite and thought it could have been spoiled. Potatoes, I dont know how you can ruin them, but they did. Dessert was not good. It was our only "bad" food experience in two weeks in France. This is a very touristy area that I would normally avoid, took the chance with low expectations and was still disappointed. Walk away. read more
