Best Paris restaurants located within a 5 minute walk of Charles de Gaulle - Étoile Station Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

We booked this hotel for the location, the price, the value (what you get for the price, particularly the breakfast included which ended up being great and delicious), and a big reason was because they offer a king-sized bed and many hotels in Europe either don't offer that or if you get it, it's in a really high-end suite that is very costly. Once there, we enjoyed this hotel for the service. Many times, the front desk staff offered to call us a taxi, offered not only great restaurant recommendations but without us having to request it they'd call over and let them know we were coming, we were a guest of the hotel, and to take great care of us. By far the best meal we had food-wise and service-wise was one they set up for as in Montmarte. Highly recommend Le Maison de la Gallette, by the way. We really enjoyed the location of the hotel because you could throw a baseball and hit the Arc de Triomphe and then it was also a very short distance to either the tower, the Seine, or the Louvre. It was so picturesque and beautiful to have a view from our room of the Arc and we really enjoyed the balconies. I'd recommend bringing adapters for the outlets because although they have them to offer you at the front desk (to use for free) if they are near capacity they do run out of them and they did during our stay. They told us where we could buy them and it was not a big deal but just FYI for anyone going there because it cost us around 40 Euro but if you get them on Amazon it's about $10 for the same thing. Anyway, we loved the location because you can get anywhere you need with either a nice walk or a short taxi ride. The breakfast was great because it gave you a nice offering of traditional French breakfast buffet items and they were, if you asked, willing to cook your eggs how you liked them if you are American like us and enjoy eggs. Personally, I stuck with the more French-style breakfast items because they were so fresh and so delicious I couldn't resist. The room was not large because we are in a city and a European city so of course it is different than what we see in America but it was more than enough for what we needed and the king-sized bed was SO important to us. The room was clean and the cleaning staff was on point cleaning our room each day first thing in the morning as soon as we left go to out and sightsee. Really great staff overall at this hotel. Highly recommend it. I shopped around and this was the best priced place for the star level of the hotel, the value, the room's offerings, and the location. I don't think I could have found a kind-sized bed in a hotel for less than $1,000 more than we spent on this room total. The cafes in and around the hotel are great too. I think we ate at almost every one of them - even if it was just for a little dessert and some wine. The proximity to the Champs was GREAT too. We loved walking over there and strolling along that iconic street.

Location doesn't really get any better. Eric and the staff were swiftly attentive. We came foe our honeymoon, and were presented with a personal letter, bouquet of 24 roses, and bottle of champagne!

I love this cozy hotel! It was so perfect, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Every time I came back to my room I found nice treats or water with a nice card. I felt spoiled all the time! Breakfast was delicious too!

We stayed here 3 years ago on our first trip to Paris as a couple and were blown away by the friendliness of the staff. There are very pleasant, respectful and competent and always have an answer for any of your questions. We stayed here again in September 2023 for 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The neighborhood is rather quiet, but you are located right next to some of the main metro lines (RER and Metro Line 1& 2 ), which makes traveling super easy! The hotel itself has a wonderful bohemian theme to it and is/feels very elegant. The rooms are quite generous for Parisian standards (very spacey). Generally the rooms are very clean, the bathrooms are squeaky clean. There is someone at the front desk at all times and they help you with whatever you need. There is a good mix of people being here on holidays and business travelers. Big thank you to the staff for holding our luggage on our departure day so we could roam the city again! If you have the budget for it, I highly recommend this hotel. I definitely will be staying here when coming to Paris. Thank you again to everyone at the Maison Albar Hotels for making our stay such a success!

I have never written a review while still staying at the hotel, but I must say the experience here has been exceptional. I’ve stayed at a number of Ritz Carlton hotels and other high end hotels, but the service and kindness of the staff at Maison Alber has been unmatched. We had a room that was close to another building doing contraction and the hotel staff immediately made accommodations to move my wife and I to a room that was further from the noise. Every single. Person always says hello to you as well. The staff are genuinely sincere. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is staying in Paris.

Is a nice 👍🏼 place for a gathering with close friends and family. The place is very nice in many aspects like the vibes and the atmosphere as well. The backyard music 🎼 is well worth and Ben chosen by care. Is not too loud and not too low. Very good to your ears. The decoration is well chosen as well. Inside this place is very good quality of furniture. And that’s what we chose. The orders we requested was soft like a fruit 🍉 salad. And mozzarella sticks and WFC sticks. The coffee was good indeed.

If you are visiting Paris and want to experience an elegant but cool Pub/Brasserie/Night bar with a little Artisan/Speak Easy theme then this is this the place. Great food and Cocktails…DJ was playing Saturday night…had a great time until 2am before wondering further. Came back for all day breakfast following day! Top notch! Located a stone throw away from Champs Elysees. Slight dent in the pocket but worth it 👌 Staff are great

Reminded me of Dishoom in London in terms of the fusion dish concepts, especially the naan. The steak with Masala sauce was delicious. The banoffee pie was also decadent. However, there was a lack of staff that the two servers could barely cover all the tables. They forgot my coffee and was served only until mid meal. Nice interior with colonial vibes.

One Michelin star restaurant with a good value set lunch. €49 for a 3 course lunch menu and options are also available for 4 or 5 courses. Seating starts at the counter first and then to the tables once the counters are filled up. Food is very good and portions are just enough to have a taste of the menu. Service is adequate and efficient. Worth coming back again during lunch to try other items on the menu.

Incredible dining experience. The food was absolutely sublime and lives up to its reputation. We had the classic tasting menu and the food was incredible. Huge kudos to the kitchen whose skill and timing were spot on. Special thanks to the staff who accommodated us without any reservations for dinner. Our server was exceptional and was so kind and welcoming. I would return here in a heartbeat if I had the chance. It was the perfect cap to a wonderful day in Paris.

I was looking forward to the meal, as I had heard great things about the restaurant in various countries. Unfortunately it was a let down and it did not live to the expectation and much more less to the price point. The restaurant is located inside a shopping mall and if you don't pay attention you can overlook it. It is decorated in black and red but makes it very dark, since it is downstairs from the mall. Also, seating is at a bar area and where we sat it was far from the action. Service was terrible. The hostess was rude and did not acknowledge us for quite some time. When she did, it seemed that she was annoyed that she had to take care of our coats. Then after we were seated, the menu was explained to us and rushed us to make a decision. After that, no one bothered to explain each entree for the duration of the experience, as it was expected. Either there is a language barrier from part of the staff to explain items in English or they are just plain rude. It seems to be the latter... Also, it was noted at the time the reservation was made that there was a tree nut allergy way in advance and the restaurant was not prepared to accommodate it. They tried, but the alternative were items that you could had ordered for less than a fast food meal. Again, very disappointing especially for the hefty price tag that clearly did not deliver. I wished they will provide a refund for how terrible the food was and the service. I have had comparable meals back home and I have gotten better service and a great meal.

Amazing experience, each dish prepared with attention to every detail. The tastes were well thought of, with different elements complementing each other as if they always belonged. I definitely recommend!

Beautiful dinner. We found the hotel at the AMEX website, and I am very happy with the choice. Amazing food and great price for s michellin restaurant. The service was nice we went for 2 main courses instead to get a started. The front saloon of the restaurant looks nicer than the back were we were sit. The chef offers a nice combination of amouse bouche. We chose the 2 fishes of the menu. As well one beef.

We had the chef special : whole chicken. It was really delicious and huge we have to take the remaining away as it was difficult to finish. They were generous on the truffle. They had a seaweed butter I remember which I didn't really like as it was too much of the sea fish taste. not really a good combination with the bread. Staff members are friendly. service is good. living up to the mMichelin standard but not exceeding it.

My dinner here was paid by my company so the price was not an issue. Good food and wine. Not a “Wow” for a Michelin resto in the middle of Paris...

Fine dining. I had a calf’s head ,a traditional French dish. The herbs worked and it was delicious , but it was a little difficult to eat because it was made with millefeuille

Unfortunately, not sure if we felt underwhelmed because we had a 4 months old in our table of 7 or the atmosphere was artificial and impersonal. The pictures online are confusing as it feels there’s a view to the restaurant but there isn’t. The appetizers were fantastic, main course average with us covering all of the main options within our table. The Tiramisu was below average at best. This was a _subpar_ experience given the price we paid for it. Very happy for the personal touch that they offered a “free Tiramisu” to celebrate my daughter’s birthday! Given the price point there are 100s of other better restaurants in Paris like David Toutin!

Jamal Jammal - 7 months ago

Well, my expectations on amazing cuisine were as high as the price I was expecting to pay… and both were what I anticipated. Thoroughly delicious meals that were perfectly plated, and a price tag to match. Yes, you get what you pay for here. Staff are friendly, atmosphere is quaint, and you will leave with a full stomach and empty wallet.

Very friendly people there and a really comfortable place to eat and drink! Pasta is very delicious and it was finished pretty fast.

Might just be the best Italian meal I've had - from the mussels and mushrooms, to the steak, to the dessert. Magnificent.

My partner and I have visited this restaurant for dinner two nights in a row as the service, the food and the price (compared to the rest of Paris) is fantastic. We had wonderful banter with the waiters and whom I presume is the owner and absolutely amazing food with the most beautiful presentation. Their food was cooked to perfection and I will 100% be recommending this place to anyone who wants to visit Paris!

Perfect place for a good, quiet breakfast, professional or with friends. Recently refurbished, nice, not noisy. Tasty omelette. I haven't tested lunch yet, therefore only four stars for the food.

Our server, Alex, who happened to be the manager was incredibly welcoming. He kindly offered to speak English when he noticed we are not native French speakers. He was helpful, and the service was very quick. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the restaurant was lovely. Apparently it only opened 10 days ago, but already runs like a well oiled machine. It also has a fantastic view of the Arc de Triomphe. Merci!

Good portion of quantitative of food in your plate. With early morning for a great breakfast. And nice view from there. The people working here are kind and helpful people. The tables that they have been in it was comfy. I asked for the French toast but they don’t have. Wish to provide it for people who dose look for it. As it’s one of the famous dishes here in Paris.

Excellent…. Excellent … excellent One of the best lunch I ever had. The Chef Alleno who took this legendary and old institution refreshed the ambiance and the dishes. Also something extremely rare nowadays in Paris :the team who work in this restaurant are one of the most friendly and most professional you can imagine. Really a great job 👏🏼 First time but certainly not the last .

The overall experience is very good. They had a very rich and well prepared menu for the 31st December and of course that went up until the midnight 1a.m on the 1st January. The staff at the bar was really good to prepare for us customized non-alcoholic cocktails and the other staff were very attentive and keen on providing the best service to their customers. Although I felt that the cost a bit high, I would say that's a very great experience and I would any day recommend the restaurant.

Super cool vibe, amazing food and outstanding service! Will go here again for sure. If you are unsure about what caviars to try, ask! The staff is very knowledgeable and quite willing to recommend if you aren't sure what you'd like and/or if you are new to the caviar scene. Impressive wine & champagne list.

Read a lot of controversial information about the place before heading. All in a all it is a good place to spend the night if you are over 45. The band was exceptional with a lot of non Cuban, rather English songs. The food is ok. I was expecting a much better drinks, although both the mojito and the margaritas were enjoyable ( but can be much better). The crowed is an above 50 one. There is still a dance floor like good old days. IT IS NOT A CIGAR LOUNGE: you can buy a cigar but cannot enjoy it inside ( nor outside because there is no venue outside). However, we did have some good time, all in all.
