Le Chateaubriand

The food was great but a couple of hiccups dampened the experience.
1) One of the servers hit me on the head as she was walking away from our table and didn’t even apologize or look back. Literally just hit my head and ran. WHAT?!?
2) Our tiny table was right next to a pole and 1 foot away from the coat hanger and the bar. One of the servers walked past us to get to the bar and hit a wine glass on the pole causing it to break and glass to fly onto my boyfriends neck. Luckily it wasn’t sharp but holy hell if it had cut him somewhere it would have been bad news. The server was super friendly and apologized for it but I think it should be a lessen to perhaps walk more slowly versus the sliding and running around.
3) You have the option to swap out your desserts for the cheese plate so we chose to get the cheese plate for me and the normal dessert for the BF. The cheese came out first and about 20 minutes later one of two dessert plates came out. Turns out they gave us the last dessert vs the first one and followed by the bill. Looks like they forgot our first dessert plate entirely causing us to wait another 30 minutes for it. I noticed the table in front of has had a similar situation where they had to wait ~30 minutes for their last dessert course to come out.
I’m all about relaxed atmospheres and enjoying the company but it was just way too long with mishaps that really shouldn’t happen in renowned establishments like Le Chateaubriand.

Found this place by luck walking the back streets of Paris. We were served by the own and he was clear to explain the all his food was fresh and local meats.
I started with a French onion soup and it was just perfect. Thick with onions, cheese with bread.
Next was the Mac Lamb. Greek style lamb beefsteak style with loads of French cheese tzaziki sauce, cooked to perfection a with a hint of dill and cumin. I even tried my wife’s lamb stew which melted in my mouth. Fries were home made and were same as Greece fries.
Finally dessert which I normally do not have but hey I am in France and ordered cream brûlée and like wtf hit me when I ate it!!! Wholesome is all I can say.
Service was fantastic by the owner and he loved the fact I spoke French. I will go back.

Le Chateaubriand
We asked our Über driver to drop us off at the Champs Elysee and he turned into this small road somewhere in the middle of the Champs. It had a row of restaurants and our group of five perused each menu on display. We were so glad we chose Le Chateaubriand.
Seating was cramped but the food was SO delicious! It turned out to be one of our best meals during our trip.
1) The escargot in garlic butter was good.
2) T-​bone steak was tender & juicy. We sampled the different sauces: Roquefort, Béarnaise and Vigneronne and loved them all. We also enjoyed the side dishes: aligot and potato mash.
3) Desserts: cremé brulée, salted butter caramel brioche and rum baba. The latter was served with a bottle of rum and the waiter motioned for us to pour the rum over the cake; that was an amusing twist.

After looking for an authentic and local restaurant we found this hidden gem just a block off the champs élysées close to the arch. Our first impression was it was small, but we noticed it was mostly locals eating so we gave it a chance. WOW are we glad we did! The food was amazing and the service was friendly and quick and even spoke English. It turned out to be the best meal we had in Paris and we tried a lot of the fancier well known places. You won’t be disappointed with the experience, just don’t let your first impression concern you the small older place adds to the charm after you sit down.

One of our best meals in Paris!
We were searching for a restaurant that wouldn’t break the bank after some intense shopping on the Champ Elysses. That’s when we stumbled upon the small restaurant of Le Chateaubriand.
The server kindly moved our table aside to let us sit, and put our shopping bags at a table across from us so we could have room. We ended up ordering:
Escargot
Salmon Pasta
Fried Calf Liver
Beef Bourguignon
All our dishes were delicious. Per our request, the server showed us how to eat the escargot. The salmon pasta was kind of a let down but the other three dishes are ones you must try! The cheesy mashed potatoes that comes with the beef Bourguignon is very unique, and not in a bad way. They’re very different from the potatoes that come with the liver dish.
Our bill came out to be a very reasonable price. Thanks for the great last dinner to our Paris trip!

J’ai deux confessions un peu honteuses à vous faire :
1° J’aime bien les endroits un peu franchouillards, nappes à carreaux, habitué aviné au comptoir et franc-​parlé qui va avec
2° Je me régale régulièrement d’andouillettes, l’incarnation alimentaire du pire des tue-l’amour (mais bon sang ce que c’est bon quand c’est bien grillé et assaisonné juste ce qu’il faut, et là c’était le cas !).
J’ai donc été pleinement satisfaite de mon rapide dîner au Chateaubriand qui précédait une soirée ciné. Bien que ce bistro soit situé dans une rue adjacente de l’avenue des Champs Elysées, la carte affiche des prix pratiquables et on y sert du vin à la ficelle (traduction: vous payez ce que vous consommez, comme pour l’électricité). La serveuse était amusante et acceptait les tickets restaurants, même le soir. Hourra pour elle !

Extra
Une belle adresse à deux pas des champs Élysée !

This is a surprisingly non-​touristy place given the location right near the Arc de Triomphe. I was the only non-​French speaker, and there was a steady stream of locals who popped in for a drink during the busy lunch hour.
I ordered French onion soup and crab ravioli. The soup was average compared to other French onion soups I’ve had in the city; it didn’t have a great deal of flavor and the cheese wasn’t super high quality. But it wasn’t bad. The crab ravioli, however, was excellent. It was clearly freshly made, and they didn’t skimp on the crab meat filling. The tomato cream sauce went well with the dish. It came with a side salad, which was basic. Overall a solid dining experience.
