"Amazing service. Our waiter was super friendly and made jokes with us. The food was great. It seemed like a classic Parisian restaurant. I’ll be sure to come back in if I’m ever in the area again! The French onion soup was only 12 Euro and was fantastic."

"The service by Mr. Marceau was exceptional . He was welcoming and attentive even though it was very late and the end of a long day . The steak was tasty and the potato gratin was delicious . The onion soup was a bit watery but tasty . The spaghetti bolognese was good too . We enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend to others . Especially since most restaurants were closed and this cafe offered a very good late night dinner ."

"Overall a great experience. Situated amongst all the shopping stores at the ARC, this restaurant although street level, provides world class service as if it were atop the arch or Eiffel Tower. Food - Menu attached. They offer a variety of foods. We dined on pepperoni pizzas, fries, linguine pasta, hamburger. 1 point was deducted as when ordering, waiter confirmed “bacon” on burger, but when the food came and waiter was questioned where bacon was, we were told no bacon. They do offer desserts, which we tried crème brûlée and ice cream for the kids. Service - We had Fabien, who was phenomenal. They wait outside and escort you to a table as “VIP”. Everyone gets VIP (smile). Ordering was prompt and the time it took the food to come out was very fast. Atmosphere- They offer both indoor and covered outdoor dining. If your by the Arc and want a quick sit down meal, this is the spot."

"Lovely restaurant on the Champs Elysee. Bit of a tourist trap, very expensive for a salad and a sandwhich but lovely nonetheless. The food was nice, and the restaurant was a great spot. The only odd thing was, we ordered drinks to start but the waiter then bought the bill and when we asked to order food, the waiter seemed annoyed at us and said 'well you didn't tell me that before'. When he then bought the final bill over, he immediately asked us how much of a tip we were going to give, and then suggested 20 %, 30% or 40%. We felt very pressured by this and didn't really know what to say so, just be wary of this."

"Had an easy, relaxing lunch at Café George V. Loved the courteous service and good food selection. They recommended a jumbo prawn linguine that wasn’t even on the menu—absolutely delicious! Perfect atmosphere right along the Champs-Élysées."

"So this was a very special dinner and our first meal in Paris, the city of love. And I absolutely loved it, the ambiance, the food, the location, the atmosphere, everything. We had a scrumptious pasta along with a Burrata salad. This gorgeous cafe had beautiful outdoor seating as well but we preferred the indoor lightning seats. This place is within walking distance of Arc De Triomphe; we were famished while strolling and exploring the beauty of Paris at night and found this cute cafe."

"Went here twice in one day as we enjoyed it so much! Most tender beef I’ve ever eaten in my life and the pizza was massive. Good atmosphere for a popular location. Pricing I felt was reasonable for the quality and the portion sizes. We were served by Max in the evening - I can honestly say it’s some of the best service I’ve had from anywhere in the world. I could not fault him in his manners, his attentiveness and his English accent, despite being French! Loved it and will be coming back on my next trip!"
