    The most amazing salad ever! Will go back to Paris just for the salad! Increible!

    We stopped in for a bite as we were staying nearby. The salads are large and absolutely amazing here!

    So good, we went back a second time! Their giant salads are really too much - but who cares? They're covered in fried potatoes that are perfect. My friend ordered the 1/2 chicken and loved that too. Friendly service and highest recommendation.

    I came here with my friend Z. for a late lunch while exploring Montmatre. We were able to snatch one of the small tables outside, so we got to people-watch while eating. Since I had read about their amazing salads, I decided to order the Salade Océane which features smoked salmon, small shrimp, avocado and their signature fried potatoes, of course. The portion size was quite generous and therefore appropriate for the price of 15 EUR. The ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the real star of the dish were the garlicky potatoes. They were absolutely delicious! My friend went with the plate du jour which was rice with salmon, followed by a dessert with coffee. The main dish was nothing to write home about. The portion size was on the smaller side and the dish itself rather bland. The dessert however was quite nice. A tiramisu-like chocolate dish with some fruit that looked appealing and tasted well.

    Salade geant, what I would just call a big salad

    This is the only restaurant we visited twice during our two weeks in Paris. On our first night we were recommended to go to Le Basilic by our home exchange partner but they had no seating available outside so we ended up across the street at Le Relais Gascon. I can't exactly recall what we ordered that first time. I know I had roast chicken with delicious thinly sliced, garlicky, fried potatoes on the side and tarte tatin for dessert. It just seemed like a dream dining al fresco in Paris under the setting sun at around 9:30, enjoying some wine, and catching up with my partner who'd joined me from Munich where he'd been studying German the last two weeks. On that night I noticed a lot of other customers enjoying a big salad (Seinfeld anyone?) topped with the same delicious potatoes and wished I'd ordered that instead. So on another night when we'd had a big lunch during the day--or maybe it was one of the many late afternoon baguette indulgences with some cheese and wine--we thought we should have salad for dinner and ended up back at Le Relais. Knowing you're going to have a huge salad topped with a hot mound of thinly sliced fried potatoes does not in any way equate to a light dinner. We knew we weren't even kidding ourselves: we were there for the potatoes and using the salad as cover. Brian ordered his usual smoked salmon salad and I ordered the Nicoise salad, which surprising to me comes with canned corn in France. Contrary to what I'd heard at home, the French don't actually mind eating corn as long it is separated from the cob. The French don't do doggie bags either but that's really what this situation called for. This is the only place we ate where a review could truly state as a selling point that "the portions are huge." That concept is so important to many Americans who unfortunately value portion size over how good the food actually is. At Le Relais you get both in good measure and being the American that I am, I--as well as many others--can't rave about the big salad enough. It's quite a transformational experience for many according to numerous reviews of the other Gascon, also in Montmartre! Even though I was full after eating about half of the salad and potatoes, I of course kept eating so I could get some much needed "vegetables" down my gullet. I left about a quarter of my salad in the bowl and felt that was acceptable and no insult to the chef. We skipped dessert that evening since we were eating "light" for dinner. Just a couple of espressos and we were on our way, two very satisfied customers. We then took a post dinner stroll up to Sacre Coeur to take in the night view of Paris and the Eiffel Tower all lit up. Another end to a great day!

These smaller bistro type eateries are the lifeblood of the local cuisine. They consistently offer reasonably priced dishes that are full of flavor and technique. The wine and drink options are well catered to the menu and they provide options for most price points. The service we experienced was exactly what you want... our server had plenty of suggestions based on the offerings of the day. The service was attentive and responsive... not much more than you could ask for. I had the duck breast being offered... it was served alongside crispy potatoes, green beans, and a salad. Adding in the onion soup and a glass of wine... it quickly became a King's dinner at a very reasonable price. I would be more than happy to eat here again and look forward to exploring the rest of the menu offering many local and classic French options.

Like others have said, it's super small inside, so you'll get to know your neighbors really well. But your attention will be more focused on the food they bring out. I had the lamb with thyme sauce and my wife had the confit duck leg. Don't be afraid to pick the sauce of the day over the regular honey sauce. The sauce of the day on the day we went was a blackberry sauce which was crazy good. With a bottle of wine at 24 euros and both entrees under 20 euros, you couldn't really beat a meal of that quality in many places around Paris for that price. It was only after I ate at Le Potager did I see it had a bunch of great reviews on Yelp. It's definitely earned all those stars.

Making a reservation isn't hard but you do need to email them and there's no online booking system. You also have to confirm again 1-2 days before. I understand they are small with a limited number of tables so that's fair and it seemed like everyone showed up even though they don't require a deposit. On a Friday night, it didn't appear there was much chance or walking in although there were like 2 open seats at what would have been a shared table. The menu is small and includes some typical French starters, steaks, 3 non steak entrees, cheeses, and dessert. All steaks come with potatoes, 3 sauces, salad. Service was a highlight. The waiter was personable and funny, had solid recommendations, and made sure leftovers were taken home. Also had a solid wine recommendation after asking some questions. They probably get a lot of people who don't speak French and they had no problem speaking English. The food- ordered a ribeye medium rare. The steak was so so charred on the outside and it almost ruined the whole thing. I really wish they would have charred it way less especially when it was ordered medium rare. There is seared and then there is burnt; this was sadly the latter. The steak itself was fine, honestly nowhere near the best meat I have had but the price is quite reasonable for how much you get. I would say the steak was maybe 6/10 for me, largely due to the cooking. The fries were phenomenal. Definitely a highlight and really tasty and with a great texture. Salad was good, pretty typical. I wanted to like the sauces more but found them just okay. The best by far for me was the blue cheese sauce but even this one I thought the flavors could have popped a little more. Atmosphere was fun, there were a few bigger groups (6-8 which is the biggest they accommodate) but it never got unreasonably loud. Overall I wanted to love it but was a bit disappointed even though the service and fries were both great.

It's a tiny restaurant, so if you're a party of two, you might share a table with others, but they have spacers so you don't feel like you're eating together. Reservations were easy to make. You email in your requested sitting and someone will get back to you shortly. We were able to get in a little ahead of schedule and start the adventure. Wines were reasonably priced and they had a good variety of cocktails. We hadn't had French onion soup on our trip, so we ordered it as an appetizer. Sometimes it can get a little salty, but these were very well blended. Sacree Fleur seems to be known for their steak and frites, so we ordered the steak for two. Steak comes out on a sizzling platter. You can turn the pieces over to keep cooking until your preferred temperature. It was quite succulent and the fries were well prepared. There are two dipping sauces and some salt to season your meal. We hadn't a great time and way too much food :)

We were so looking forward to the frog legs, onion soup and other delicacies pictured. We got there and the sign was just as it was with the same name -- Au Pied du Sacre Coeur. We should've noticed something was wrong when no one was inside. When the waiter (lone person working along with cook) gave us the menu, my wife and I stared at each other completely confused. The menu looked nothing like the ones on this website and featured Italian food items, like spaghetti, arroz con pollo or mozarella. I asked him about frog legs or the onion soup. He looked confused and just said no. Out of respect for him, we just ordered the charcuterie, which featured stale bread and a few slices of meat taken from my local grocery store in the U.S. Also -- they claimed to not accept any international credit cards. WHAT HAPPENED? Are all these reviews fake? Most likely, they underwent new ownership right when we visited. But new visitors -- please beware. Do not trust any of the reviews before mine.

The free Cote du Rhône glass was appreciated for check-in! Our server had his head permanently at a 30 degree angle, staring at his mobile. Tis a shame. But he was friendly ( oh, and easy on the eyes). I liked the quiet location out of the chaotic fray, like up the street, with all its smoking and volume. PS This is lover's type of location. Even the dark end of the small street feels illicit!
