I was in Paris in early December and paid this restaurant a visit. Not cheap but you know that when you go there. Food was excellent. And as you said, the service was likewise..and so friendly. Love your channel. Also went to Cafe du Commerce on your recommendation. Another gem. Best wishes from Dublin.
I saw this restaurant when I was in Paris this past June; and so wanted to go but hadn't the time. Next time! Just subscribed. I look forward to seeing all your reviews!
Happy New Year! You do amazing videos! We have been in Paris, once but we have so many new choices from you that we can't wait to come to Paris again! You are a very suitable couple with this woman
Happy New Year Alain. To you and yours. Hope this new year is a wonderful one for you. Thanks for another great video, filled with great information and honesty. Keep up the amazing work.
I am happy to hear you had good time & food there, I visited first in 1991 and still remember it fondly. Like you said: a bit pricey but great service and very, very good food...
C es un de mes restaurants préférés pour les escargots 😋😋😋🥂🥂 et la bouchée a la reine avec ris de veau 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 le decor es d origine de 1850 c es magnifique ❤❤❤❤❤ et je recommande le train bleu pour le menu gastronomique et le fameux gigot d agneau 😋😋😋🥂🥂❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇
Bonjour and merci for another video recommendation. For the past ten years I have been hesitant to try this restaurant in part based on the multitude of instagrammers posting exterior photos. Now I must try after enjoying other restaurants in your videos. Merci encore. 💙🤍❤️
Food is great and worth it. Traditional escargot is the best. The waiters seem overstretched at times. They are not being rude just super busy. . I live in the immediate area and go there several times a year when it’s not a busy tourist season.
Alain, you are right L'Escargot Montorgueil is a surprisingly good place, cozy and charming, this is maybe be my sons favorite restaurant in Paris! We always get the 36 pieces escargot sampler that my son loves, I prefer the onion soup, it comes in a puff pastry like top. The boeuf Rossini is amazing and the duck legs are better than average for Paris. Normally not much room for desert but the coffee gourmand if I have the room. It is touristy, with all the drawbacks of that, but I bet we still eat here at least once this year...
Thanks Matthew! The onion soup of the Escargot Montorgueil was created to resemble to the "Soup with black truffles VGE" of the very famous chef Paul Bocuse, created for a banquet organized by President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing at the Élysée Palace, in honor of Bocuse's admission to the rank of knight of the Legion of Honor. When serving the soup covered with its puff pastry, Paul Bocuse had said to his host: "Monsieur le président, on va casser la croûte."
When I was in Paris last January, I really wanted to go to this restaurant specifically for the Tournedos Rossini (you never see that dish on menus anymore!) but hesitated due to it being in a touristy area. Next time!
You never see Tournedos Rossini any more because it is heavy and hence outdated. Nobody wants all that fat any more. Plenty of other traditional French dishes.
Je pense qu'on reviendra bientôt de cette mode du "light" à tous prix. Il n'y a qu'à voir les commentaires extrêmement laudatifs lors de la mort de Maïté. Beaucoup de gens veulent retrouver le plaisir des plats roboratifs de la tradition culinaire française. Y compris le Tournedos Rossini 😄
@ Si on a envie de se sentir mal après un repas, de prendre 10kg, et d avoir du cholestérol, oui on peut retourner a l écœurant (tout ce gras…) tournedos Rossini (qui n a rien de roboratif) etc. Il n est pas question de manger « light ». Un traditionnel petit salé aux choux (= viande + légumes) - par exemple - n est pas light mais est sain - et roboratif.
When will foreigners - even more Americans - stop erecting Paris as the paramount Totem of culinary practice ? When ? Please rent a car, take a train , and visit the towns of “ Province “ ( like Parisians call them with contemptuous disdain ) to enjoy : 1. Real French people 2. Real Cuisine 3. Not obscene prices
Not all Parisians are snobs, and though I agree that there are thousands of great places to visit in France, if you have only a few days, then Paris is the place to visit before the rest. And It's a "provincial" who came to live in Paris who's telling you this
@ Cela se multiplie dans les quartiers touristiques, effectivement. Mais dans les vrais bons bistrots de quartiers sans touristes, non. Heureusement que nous pouvons encore parfois nous sentir chez nous. Et déguster une nourriture qui n est pas pour touristes.

Happy new year! And, yes, really nice interior.

It seems that lots of the comments here, like yours, are very positive about l'Escargot Montorgueil. Feels good to be thinking the same!

Au train bleu, l'expérience peut parfois être mitigée, mais j'y ferai sans doute une vidéo cette année.
@paristoptips ah bon j ai toujours été bien servi.....sa dépend du serveur 🤔
Glad I found this channel.
Great!
Hope you'll be satisfied with 2025 videos!
Happy New Year!!! And thank you for another recommendation ! You are the best!❤

Another wonderful video.

Thank you for another lovely restaurant in Paris. We will try it out in October, especially the flog leg.
Happy New Year and wish you all the best
Thanks a lot 🙏
Hope you'll like it!

Sometimes, places are so heavily displayed on Social media that you're just unconsciously thinking it can't be good.
Yet, here, it is genuinely good!

Thanks for your feedback.
Good to see we share the same opinion on this restaurant
We're staying in Montorgueil in a week! Its our first time and Id read reviews it wasnt a good area. Glad theres some good restaurants at least!
It's clearly not a bad area anymore.
Later at night there might be drunk people, but during the day, it's nice 👍

Thanks
I always thought that was a big tourists trap
There sure are a lot of tourists there, so if it's a tourist's trap, at least it's a qualitative tourist's trap 😁
All of Paris is a tourist trap now. Especially because of social media. We locals have nowhere to go anymore 😫
@@kath6720
Plenty of good places
The Michelin guide is a good way for visitors and I guess locals use it as well
My last time there in 2020
Un sens certain de l'exagération 😁
@ mais noooon. C’est trés reel 👀
Thank you ! Another mouth-watering episode ! Happy new year to you and your family ! From Australia.
Happy new year, mate!
When will foreigners - even more Americans - stop erecting Paris as the paramount Totem of culinary practice ? When ? Please rent a car, take a train , and visit the towns of “ Province “ ( like Parisians call them with contemptuous disdain ) to enjoy :
1. Real French people
2. Real Cuisine
3. Not obscene prices
Not all Parisians are snobs, and though I agree that there are thousands of great places to visit in France, if you have only a few days, then Paris is the place to visit before the rest.
And It's a "provincial" who came to live in Paris who's telling you this
@ sure …… the number of Americans I met saying « my wife and I did Europe last year . Two weeks : London, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid “……..
Indeed straight to Périgord Noir & beyond, Burgundy , Normandy & Britannia… to name a few .
Avoid any place with à menu in English.
Il y a maintenant des menus en anglais dans la plupart des restaurants parisiens.
@ Cela se multiplie dans les quartiers touristiques, effectivement. Mais dans les vrais bons bistrots de quartiers sans touristes, non. Heureusement que nous pouvons encore parfois nous sentir chez nous. Et déguster une nourriture qui n est pas pour touristes.
