A lot to choose from, it was closed to our hotel and open on New Years Eve. Snails were grainy and lacking taste. Oysters were tasty. The onion soup had no flavor or liquid. The steak was chewy and my daughter didn't enjoy it. My fish was the best out of 4 plates we ordered and I liked it. The service was too slow. It took over 2 hours to get our food. read more

Not my favorite place. While I try to be friendly and always start with a French Bonjour or non Soirée but the staff here was just super bothered by anything and anyone. Except for the blond male server (women didn't have but he was pleasant with all) A gentleman with a suite was super blah and just felt that he didn't want to be there. My server missed a spoon for my onion soup. Which brings me to the food. The French onion soup was simply bad. Not sure if the bread was bad it onion over cooked. My Cesar salad with crunchy chicken header was great. Probably not coming back here! read more

Best Tuna steak, beef cheeks and creme brulee we ever tried. Wish we had one in San Francisco.

Ok place, at best. Do not come here expecting cocktails before dinner. NOT HAPPENING! The food was ok, but not special. Service kind. Location of place great for Hyatt Regency. Not diverse menu. Wine selection good. read more

As a picky yelper that doesnt usually go to 3 star places i will tell u this place is better than 3 stars. Our tour guide recommended it . It was empty . I was a little worried maybe her boyfriend owned the place or something but honestly everything -tuna tar tar ,steak and fries were wonderful. Seevice was quick with wine. We had a great time here . read more

Absolutely wonderful. Got a pre fixe menu and the food was wonderful and the service fabulous.

What better way to celebrate Christmas when on a trip than going to Le Congres for dinner. Our waiter Safil was so kind, welcoming, and hospitable. The ambience is refined and stately. Does it need some new decor? A touch here or there, but as I said it's stately. I love it. My escargots were delicious. The sauce was rich garlic butter. Dip some of the French baguette to clean it all. (Yes, I'm a gourmande ) seafood smelled of the ocean it was so fresh. The oysters, the crab, the variety of sea shells was just delectable. Top it all off with a delicious wine and an outstanding rich creamy dessert. Can't wait to be back. read more

The 40€Business Club menu is the best deal in Paris! A typical French Bistro... no reservations needed! Welcome drink, appetizers, main course, dessert (I trade that in for a cheese plate) a small bottle of wine and coffee/tea! All for €40... not bad read more

This place is terrible. The service was horrible, they got the order wrong 3 times. Would not even bring anything to drink. Poor service!

Our last night in Paris was rainy and cool. We popped into Le Congrès Maillot for dinner and we were not disappointed. The maitre d' and server both went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our evening. We started with the escargot... delectable! I chose the chateaubriand that was perfection while Halotus chose the seafood sampler. As an American, some of the seafood options were a bit unusual for his taste... steamed mollusks (no sauce, bland) and tiny in-shell crustaceans meant to be eaten whole. The other options like oysters and jumbo shrimp were quite satisfying. For dessert I requested the profiteroles, which I haven't had in decades! The maitre d' made a big show of serving them and artfully poured the chocolate sauce over the dish! Halotus enjoyed creme brûlée. When he went to take a bite of my dessert, the maitre d' playfully cautioned him as the cream puffs were all mine! The ambiance was warm, cozy with a casual elegance. We will definitely return when we visit Paris in the future. read more

I had a date here, is a beautiful place, with beautiful service. As starters, my date had raw oysters, I had a french Oeuf Meurette 8.20€ (porch egg) which was really good. We had bottle service, Kir Royal, & (Don perion) which was the BEST one ever had, and I'm not a champagne type of lady. For our main course, I had the Tuna steak, which was prepared nice, and a huge serving. My date had Pave Thon. 24.50€ I believe this place add on a 10%tip within your service. Total for two, 79.70€ Over all it was a great experience. Restrooms was very clean, located downstairs away from all the dining area. I love this place. read more

Have been there before and was glad to be back in Paris to visit again. Ambiance is decidedly French and service traditional French (friendly to abrasive but not mean - it is just the way things are done...just like NY, with attitude). Ordered a couple of appetizers (fois gras and lump crab) followed by the Dorado (whole) and the label rouge salmon (meaning red label as in top quality). Crab was fresh and was on a bed of crunchy greens, providing texture, color and taste. Fois gras was exceptional as always, and the dense compote was perfect in small doses. The density of the fois gras was just right and had deep flavors and spice. Toast was perfect accompaniment and I thoroughly enjoyed the dish from the first to the last bite. The salmon was on a bed of pasta and vegetables and was cooked on the medium to rare side which is appropriate for high quality salmon. It is also usually the chef choice so i leave it to the chef.... The Dorado was larger than I expected and was grilled whole and presented to me before being whisked away for deboning. I intercepted the process and had the fish in front of me whole... leaving me the delicious task of deboning and eating all the tasty morsels along with the delicious flesh of the fish. It was accompanied by well-prepared pancetta...who would have thought, but it worked as the fish was large but the sauce was separate so I did not use any of it, leaving me to experiment between the pancetta and the fish and using the fresh lemon to add some tease to the flavors that were already so rich. Loved this dish and the price was surprisingly low. Overall a super experience....will be back again and again. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive - I was not thrilled with the table they gave us but it was comfortable and the maitr'd was very nice in his attention and recommendations. read more

Review from a American in Paris ;) French Onion soup was HORRIBLE- the broth was clear and had zero flavor. The steak I had should've cut with a butter knife. Yeah- I needed a cutting saw.also had to COVER it in ketchup- I have NEVER put ketchup on a steak. I am from Texas and have very higher expectations on steak. But this was bottom of the barrel on all accounts. Hubbys burger - ordered plain and was served full of everything he hates. The wine was served in 2 different sized glasses for my husband and myself. We ordered a great bottle of wine - they used $ store glasses. The service. Or should I say the LACK of service. Maybe if people in Europe tipped the service industry the service would be better. Horrible experience- I think the food in general In Europe is horrible. But this was beyond the usual horrible expectations we have for European food. read more

Hubby and I stayed at a hotel nearby and always passed this place, with its fresh and plentiful raw seafood displayed outside. We stopped here on our last night in Paris; they had a prix fixe, like many Parisian restaurants, but we decided to go a la carte. I can't exactly remember what it was that we ordered, but I do remember the langostines and Belon oysters, which were FANTASTIC. Service is great; not pushy or overbearing at all, even though we were slightly intimidated with the formal French uniforms and we came in casual streetwear. Would definitely come back here again, if ever in the neighborhood. read more

Maybe the worst restaurant on planet earth. Service is terrible. Waited for service forever. Order a nice bottle of wine and it was served with cheap wine glasses that weren't even the same size. Wife ordered chateaubriand which is one of the finest pieces of meat and the only way she could eat it was covered with Ketchup. DONT COME HERE. Service and food suck!!!!!! read more

My partner and I went to Le Congres for dinner. We asked to sit in the upper level by a window but we were denied. We did get the upper level. Right next to the bussing station. Can't win them all. I think the window seats are for the VIPs. Cocktails- I asked for a Bombay Saphire Martini. I received a gin and tonic. Something got lost in translation. I kept the gin and tonic. Didn't make a fuss. Seafood Platter- Oysters, snails, shrimp (large and small). Getting the snails out of the shell was fun. They were pretty good. The Oysters were good but I wanted a hot sauce to add. We were only given a vinagery sauce and mayo. Fish- We ordered the filet of sole. Our waiter had to bone the fish right next to us. He did a good job. I only bit into three bones. It was a big fish. It was very mild tasting but delicious. The mashed potatoes were good. Dessert- Creme Brulee. It was fun to crack. They did a good job making it. It was large but pretty close to perfect. The service was good but there were times when our water and wine glasses were empty. No major errors. It was a nice evening. 4 stars. read more

Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff we tried tuna and sole fish both were good. Seafood plate is served only cold! That's not typical my favorite style of seafood especially that I like grilled seafood! read more

Decidedly mediocre. Le Congres Maillot looked promising from the outside and, like one of the other reviewers, we were staying at a nearby hotel. We were promptly sat in a corner and ignored for 10 minutes. I waved the server order and bought a 50 euro bottle of wine, which entitled me to 10 more minutes and an upgrade in stemware from tiny crappy glass stems to slightly-larger crappy glass stems. For dinner, I chose the lamb loin, cooked medium rare. I received a rack of lamb, cooked medium well and lightly under-seasoned. The plate was almost nuclear red hot and the sauce had started to thicken and congeal, which meant it sat on a pass-out bar for at least 10 minutes. The service was incredibly slow, even for French standards. The server eventually brought the check and we asked him to split our 105E60 bill in half. He obliged by charging one card 103 euros and the other 2E60. If I was flexible enough to kick myself in the ass for blowing a night in Paris at Le Congres, I would. Instead, I'm hoping to save someone else the pain. read more

We dine here because its located on one of the busiest location in Paris. So we sat down and ask our waitress for some specials they have, and we ordered Raw Sea Urchin , Oyster lobster and other seafood. The sea urchin was rotten, They didnt know I was just in Japan 2 month ago. And had the freshest Sea urchin Sashimi. The rotten sea Urchin was so bad, I had to spit it out, I ask the waitress to smell it herself, and after she smell it, I think see tried to hide her facial expression and still telling me there is nothing wrong. I should of check the other reviews before dine there, just because their location And be careful of the specials, the specials in this place mean foods that's about to go bad, and something they want to get rid of. Stay away from the special at this place read more

For the money and what you get, it is an overpriced tourist restaurant. You are better off going a block or two off of the main streets to better restaurants. We had had a long day and this was recommended by the concierge. It had a reasonable review on yelp, so I gave it a go. Like many restaurants in Europe, even the smaller ones, they have a chart of allergens for all of their dishes. Very useful and I wish the US did that (some do, you just have to ask). The seafood soup was just a pureed soup of some sort with no actual seafood is some whole or cut form in the soup. Didn't really like it. The fish I got was just ok. Others in are party got things that were just ok. read more

Nice little restaurant close to porte maillot. Nice setting and nice menu. Food was average

We decided to go for a treat and came to this seafood restaurant. Though the seafood wasn't raw, it was good. We choose the platter for €50/person, which was the average price, without oysters. With wine and bread, it came to €70/person but we weren't quite full. Nice fancy restaurant setting, very central, but I do believe that you can eat better in Paris for the same amount. I would try another seafood restaurant were I to come back to Paris. read more

I have eaten here every year I come to Paris, since 1960! It was always exceptional until today, what a catastrophe! Lousy service, lousy champagne and rotten food. Every fish I ordered meant a 10 minute check with the chef only to say they were out. Same thing with my second choice, 10 minutes only to find out guess what - all out. I mean it touts itself as a seafood restaurant but they had no seafood. Finally the waiter said he could bring us scallops. The scallops were ice cold inside and warm outside. After a while you can complain just so much without wanting to get up to leave. They placated us with a glass of champagne and it was the most horrible thing I ever tasted they can't even make nice the right way. Never again. Stay clear of this place. read more

If food is an art in France, this restaurant would be your ugly cousin who draws stick figures. The location is great and service fantastic, but all of that gave way when the food arrived. To be fair, the initial course of Mozzarella and Tomato with Pesto was superb; unfortunately that didn't translate when the main courses arrived. We gave up on both the steak and duck we ordered after our hands hurt from sawing through the meat. Considering they cost a combined 40 Euro, I'm a bit distraught. Definitely will not be returning. read more

Food, service, ambiance and location are all excellent. Right across from Port Maillot and the Palais Congres theater. They are known for their seafood so don't have anything else. The menu fixe for dinner is 35 Euro and the cheese course alone is worth 15. Oysters are big and tasty. I noticed a lot of Brits and the waiters speak English and are accustomed to travellers. Great service. read more

This one of my favorite restaurants in France. I came here 15years ago and it's the same as I remember. Great food great service what else can you ask for in France??? read more

This is a warning for all of those who waiting for the shuttle bus to Beaviour airport at Port Maillot might consider to pop in this place and make some time. It´s a tourist trap. We were four of us. One ordered a coke and the waiter brought a Pepsi (5 euros); another ordered a limonade (5 euros), and finally 2 espresso (3 euros each). When you pay 3 euros for an espresso at least you expect to get a good or maybe an average espresso. This was the worst I ever tried in my life. Was weak, watery and tastless. Avoid this place. read more

After a few miserable days in Paris we happened upon this restaurant. The food was as good as one would expect in Paris.

Great wine, great food and amazing service!! What else do you want from a restaurant in Paris!

I definitely not recommend it, I must have had one of the worst steaks I've had in a long time, it was hard as a rock and over cooked, my son and nephews had a tuna tartare and they all got sick that night. The service was ok and pricing was ok but with so many options in Paris I will certainly never go back. read more

We stopped here our first night in Paris after an overseas flight from the US. The food, from starters to desert were excellent as was the service! Our waiter moved us to a full size table by the window without us requesting a change and the evening continued to be exceptional as we followed their advice on food and wine. When I couldn't make a choice on side dishes they brought them all at no extra charge. Language also was not a an issue. The meal was leisurely and romantic...just what we wanted. I will certainly look forward to a repeat visit and highly recommend! read more

The best thing I can say about this place is that the servers were extremely nice. The food, on the other hand, is iffy. I got a turbot that was quite fresh, but the presentation was just awful. The French are known for their appreciation of food as an art form, so I don't understand how it is possible that they just brought out a plain de-boned fish with not even a slice of lemon as garnish. My friend's duck was just really dry and rubbery. And it was NOT a cheap restaurant. I would probably not give them another try. read more

Seafood is good. Tasting platter of seafood with different oysters, mussels, prawns shrimp, etc. is a good starter. I like the small shrimp, which you can eat whole. The main plate is good - I had the "Noix de Saint Jacques en pot au feu" - scallops cooked with vegetables (like pot au feu), which is light and unusual. The serving staff is accustomed to English speakers and can provide an English menu if you ask and will try to help you out. read more

I've been here twice with mixed experiences, but overall I'd recommend against unless you are French, speak fluent French or are extremely old. The first time we came with French colleagues and the service was excellent and food delicious. No complaints. The second time I asked the concierge at my hotel to book a table to get us off on the right foot. Unfortunately after being seated at a table obviously for two the hostess decided that we shouldn't be seated there and moved us to a table for four by the service area. Out table for two was later occupied by a French party of three who had apparently reserved it in advance. The fish soup was brown sludge and cold. As we waited for it to be reheated I realized that all the seafood waste that piled up on the service table next to us was probably heading for the stock pot. My fois gras was good, but the toast that came with it was burned. Main course fish was delicious however the entertainment of watching it be deboned by the waiter was ruined as one of his colleagues arrived with more food to be served and tried to drop it on top of the plate. The staff here aren't great at team work. The steak was tough and came with lukewarm yellow sauce that was apparently supposed to be cold. The fries were soggy. The dessert was roasted figs and was delicious. We came on a Saturday night with an 8pm reservation and wouldn't bother again. read more

Lacks refinement and overpriced for what is offered. Foie gras was good - well- spiced and dense. Correct temperature. "Toast" served with it not edible - hard crust and one side. Waitress did not think it could be improved on.... Candied fruit way too sweet. Fish soup fine, croutons too few - but then they were pointless as full if holes and could not be covered with rouille - but that was not worth it as tasted like from a cheap jar! Half carafe of white good value and quality. Some staff okay, senior waitress/manager un typically unfriendly - argued with US guests as menu in English is out of date! Free wifi is great - might disappear after this post from my table! Better choices around. read more

Excellent food. I had the French onion soup and the chateaubriand. Good service. Menu in English. I would recommend this place.

Not worth it. Very rushed and very slow service. We had to remind several times that we were waiting for our food. We give it a two because the chicken risotto was very good read more
