Atelier Maître Albert

Great food (the chicken liver salad and the chicken absolutely delicious). Staff super friendly, polite and engaging. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was awsome too, the fireplace, the wine and a restaurant fully booked with people who looked happy (guaranteed the good food and wine contributed a lot) is what made a Monday diner special. Highly recommend. Oh and it is not expensive at all for what you get!

This place really rocked. If in Paris you need to check out this Michelin Star restaurant. They had a very affordable set menu, but the sky was the limit too. Everything homemade to order. I had a salad with fresh cooked chicken livers. Have never seen that before. It was awesome. That was just the starter of course.

A very wonderful restaurant! All the food was delicious, and they had a huge selection of wines! The service was great and the atmosphere is very cozy and quiet, with an actual fireplace. I recommend very much!

Close to Notredame, across the riverside, we found this lovely real French restaurant, grilled chicken house specialties, enormous wine list, foie and cheese, beautiful desserts, big fireplace and amazing staff. A great recommendation when going to Paris.

Absolutely excellent restaurant as mentioned in the Michelin Guide. Walked in off the street around 9 PM on a Saturday (Google showed "as busy as it gets") and was seated quickly. Waitstaff was lovely, service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Will definitely return next time I'm in Paris! I had the Filet de rascasse grillé (grilled fillet of red scorpionfish).

The place is a bit hard to find and parking is almost impossible, but the food is so good that worth the extra 30 minutes searching for parking. Have limited but good vegetarian option.

I like the atmosphere and the service. The food was not bad but I expected more for the price. The salad with chicken liver was pretty good, the soup was interesting but it was served cold, I think warm would have boosted the flavour. The mashed potato and potato gratin were very good, the fish was flavourless, so not good. And we got the roasted chicken, which was juicy and fine (again lacking flavour a bit). however, there were still some chicken feather's in there. I pointed this out to our server and I think they got offended. I mean I know it's not hair, but still it's not very pleasant to have chicken feather's in your food.

Fulfilling lunch stomach, mood and spirit! We ordered Tuna as starter with sweet and spicy grilled avocado. The sauce is refreshing and we’ll balanced, not too sweet. Main dishes were Fish of the day, Chicken and Lamb. Fish fried just right, taste of freshness and tender, sauce balanced with the fishy taste, perfect but not for eater preferring strong taste. The chicken with the burnt rosemary over dish was tender with marvelous taste of baked chicken. Usually for health sake I skip the skin, but for this dish only the bones were left. Lamb was divine. So tasty and tender, in my mouth I refused to chew and swallow. I wanted it to last in my mouth. All the side dishes were amazing. The mashed potato was smooth with mini potato chunks. The best potato I have ever tasted. Too full for dessert, but I believed strongly that those would be great, too.

The best meal I had in Paris! The ambiance was warm and cozy! The meal was tasty from amuse bouche to dessert! Service was absolutely perfect, everything you'd expect from a restaurant like this!

We had the most perfect dinner here. The space is gorgeous: particularly on a cold winter night with that huge fireplace. The food was fabulous and the potions were quite large. I highly recommend this place: ironic equally welcoming for a romantic dinner or a family dinner. Very accommodating. The Veloute and Roast Chicken were amazing.

Great location in the Latin quarter, on a quiet street. The food is all cooked with a flame. Rotisserie, grilled or flame roasted -- that equals delicious. Comfortable seating, nice ambiance and exceptional service await you here. Portions were large ( I thought). The rabbit terrine was exceptionally tasty, served with freshly baked crusty bread. The herb flamed (at the table) roasted rotisserie chicken burst with flavors. The special was a guinea fowl, also roasted on the rotisserie and absolutely mouth watering. Super wine list by the glass or bottle and reasonable prices. This was an earthy well done meal.

Good restaurant, but our waiter seemed very green and unsure of himself. We each ordered the formula for that evening, of a starter, main and dessert, and we were charged separately for each item, which we didn't realize until we got back to the hotel and were looking at the total. We intended to go back and ask for an adjustment, but we got busy with sightseeing and didn't go back. For starters, we both had the cold veggie soup (pea soup, maybe? I don't remember). It was cool, refreshing and delicious. Next, boyfriend had the rotisserie chicken, and I had a white fish with a caramel sauce - which sounds weird, and it is, but it was delicious. We had a side of au gratin potatoes, which have to be the best I've ever had, and a "complimentary" side of mashed potatoes - also fantastic! (However, I believe we were charged for those as well). We split a bottle of a nice white French wine. Dessert was a mousse of some kind, and very delicious! Despite our waiter and the fact that we believe we were overcharged, we'd still go back. We'll just check the bill more carefully next time.

Great food on a quiet street in Latin Quarter. Amazing service and presentation. Staff spoke perfect English with a smile. Fantastic value for the set menu. Just wish we knew to ask to be seated in the main room or the one adjacent to it so that we could see the fireplace. Would be back for sure and recommend to friends.

My wife and I had a delicious steak dinner at this restaurant. Our high school French is not the best, but the waiter was helpful. The atmosphere was great. The dining room had a great fireplace, and the fire made it warm and inviting. All of the food was delicious. Definitely recommend.

Google review only has 4.3/5 but very glad we came. Amazing food and friendly service even though we barely speak any French. Had chicken and duck special. Also very much enjoyed white asparagus and chicken liver appetizer. Wine by glass is on the pricy side but very good wines.

Everything was excellent. I've been there twice and both times we walked away very happy. Great wine selection as well.

Chef Guy Savoy may have burned out on Vegas (and who hasn't?) so he took over the helm at this place. It is a sleek, modern, understatedly elegant room without pretense. All gorgeous black slate, black walls and accoutrements. There are splashes of vibrant crazed art hanging in the dining room so you don't feel like you're eating in the barrel of a French 75. There is a cozy bar if you don't want to be seen and a spacious dining room if you do, along with an intimate small room for that special night with a few special people other than your poker buddies. Thankfully there is no rock loop blaring Johnny Halliday's Greatest or the latest by Chupee. The focused menu features grilled items and hits all the right notes; Beef, Veal, Fish, and Chicken and there are all the ala carte sides you like. Pommes Dauphinois (Gratin), and Artichokes Gratin as well. No Mac 'n Cheese need apply. Enjoy the Amuse Bouche of Vegetable Salmon Shooters next to a Pistachio Cracker with a Salami Skewer to go with your first Kir Royale. It brought out the Louis Quatorze in me. And the Angels are in details. Fresh ground Salt and White Pepper on the table which are far enough apart that require a Segway to go visiting. Heated plates, calm waiters. There is a curated wine list and unless you know what you're doing, have a working knowledge of French Wine, or only order by cost, then let the helpful Staff help you. I did and ended up with a perfect Cote du Rhone 2015 Croze Hermitage which pair nicely with the Pate, Salade Lardon, and stood up confidently to the Rack of Lamb. And speaking of the Staff, my Server was attentive, professional, knew how to work a table and he enhanced the evening to the point where I left an extra cash tip and a lamb chop for the Waiter's puppy. Parting with money was easy, but giving up that Lamb Chop, well, that's another matter. There was no upselling, no pushing specials (that didn't move the week before), no hurry and no worry here. The Vibe: Upscalers, kindred carnivores. The Food: Straight at you with no foo foo flash. The chef hasn't gone swimming in the kitchen. You will get things you can recognize and enjoy. A basket of fresh bread showed up which required removing the crumb from the crust to maximize the cultured butter with Sel Gris. The Terrine du Champagne was a spiritual experience. All pork bits and pieces with Aspic and a Gelatin border. Let's call it Head Cheese, because that's what it was, done well and served with a Fig Compote which got my vote. This dish fulfilled my pigish wish. The Oeuf Parfait (eggs) with Mushrooms of the Moment was as composed as Queen Elizabeth. It was a riff on the traditional Salade Lardon. A perfect runny Egg nestled on Escarole with thin Bacon strips and a light Vinaigrette. It paid stage door Johnny homage to a classic. The Frenched Bone-In Rack of Lamb was meaty, lamby and was served with Lamb Jus. To start with it was photogenic as presented and satisfying to the photographer once it was disassembled table side. The meat was grilled to medium rare and was down pillow tender. If you're in the mood to share, you will have chosen wisely. If you're selfish, all the better as this dish was terrific. The Pomme Dauphnoise (mandolined Potatoes with Cream, taking a tour under the Slamander with Gruyere was almost as good as my version). The Gratin Artichaud was also lovely, in case you didn't have enough cream with the Pomme D. The Chef used bottoms instead of hearts, and I prefer a good firm bottom to a soft heart any day. Finally, there was a sophisticated Cheese plate with all the fixin's. The Cheeses change quickly and the kitchen is generous with each selection to point to with your fork. Americans are used to Cheese as a appetizer to mollify guests at a party and keep them out of the way. Here, Cheese is a separate course and a precursor to dessert, but for this evening the Cheese finished me off. Ah, Death by Cheese is so welcome. A soft Bleu, a Triple Cream, a nutty wannbe Gruyere, and a Goat wrapped in Straw with a pick-up-styx distribution of Granny Smith batons, and grilled Bread. Lord, take me now. Atelier Maitre Albert, I am so there next visit.

Although I lived nearly 20 years at a distance of a few dozen meters, I had never set foot in what can now almost be considered an institution in the 5th arrondissement. I'm not going to give you the usual talk about Guy Savoy; you've already read it 100 times in 100 articles. As glorious and competent as they are, making the historical filling of chefs' lives, my cup of tea has never been. Megalomaniacs won't forgive me for that. Guy Savoy not being, in my opinion, in this category, I am saved! One of the primary defects that affect many restaurants after a few years is shortness of breath. We have our regular customers; we bungle the plates a little, the service becomes more (too) cool, we save on suppliers, quantities, etc.. Here, none of this. We have maintained quality and consistency. The poultry is therefore still farmed and from Maine, the Breton pigeon and the Charolais beef rib. In terms of taste, there is nothing to complain about. Both the fish, scallops, and pigeon are perfectly cooked. The same for vegetables, with a special mention for gratin, spinach, and mushrooms. Idem for the excellent puff pastry brioche for dessert. We will also note the soup, dish that we find less and less on the menus for various reasons, good or bad. Thinking that with it, "you don't get value for money". To believe that it will be bland. That it's only for winter. And it is also true that the presentation is more complicated. Indeed, during the movement from the kitchen to the dining room, most of the time, decoration will not fit on the liquid. Hence the diversion, which consists in bringing the empty but decorated plate without the liquid. And to serve it at the table. At those prices (no entry under 11 euros and no dish under 22), we could expect a little more effort on the presentation of some plates. Like the pigeon, excellent by the way. Smooth transition to address my only real disappointment: the setting. If the first room near the entrance is beautiful, the second room should be avoided. The black ceiling decor is completely outdated, and the lights are too powerful; the sound is loud. Only the majestic fireplace would justify the imperative need to sit here. Nevertheless, we must thank the nursery schools of the 5th arrondissement for the generous donations of the paintings on the walls. It is therefore always a beautiful Parisian table that can welcome you for lunch or dinner, quality products, well prepared, merely deserving a little more attention on the presentation. Did you see that? It is possible to talk about a (secondary) restaurant of a great chef by focusing on the plate and without unpacking the biography to make the filling...

I'm literally the biggest Guy Savoy fan girl so imagine my excitement coming here. It was aight, nothing special. The edge to edge doneness wasn't there in the cote de boeuf and the sides were not memorable (Altho the mashed potato was yum). The appetizers were good though (cold tomato soup and chicken liver salad).

Tucked into a tiny street between Notre Dame and the Boulevard St. Germain, L'Atelier Maître Albert offers a refined menu in a fancy setting. Every detail is carefully considered. The stone walls are accentuated by painted black beams, the dark tables by solid silver cutlery. In the winter, according to our family friend with whom we dined the other night, they light the massive fireplace to warm up the dining room. In the summer, thankfully, the air conditioning is on full blast. The attentive staff was present but not intrusive, and they brought each drink and dish promptly. Dinner that evening was preceded by a trio of amuse bouches: a thin carrot-orange soup that tasted more like pumpkin than anything else, two slices of salami speared on toothpicks, and a savory basil and red bell pepper mini muffin. These went very well with the gin and tonic (I should have asked what gin they used--it was the best one I'd had in a while), and helped curb our hunger while we perused the menu. It wasn't easy to choose from the meat-centric menu. L'Atelier proposes lamb, beef, chicken, duck, pigeon from Brittany, and various fish, most of which is roasted on a spit. We could see the spit at the back of the restaurant, a giant silver grill looking sleek against the all-black walls. The mains come with your choice of sides: potatoes gratin, creamed spinach and mushrooms, roasted red peppers with zucchini, green salad, risotto... For my partner, it was a no-brainer: gratin dauphinois. I chose the spinach and mushrooms. The appetizer was equally easy to choose: I had the "autour de la tomate" which turned out to be a selection of sliced tomatoes drizzled in pesto and a delicate but chunky tomato purée, topped with a beautiful hunk of burrata on a slice of olive bread. My table mates also turned towards tomato: a smooth soup poured from a pitcher by a member of the kitchen staff over a dab of herbed feta. It was scrumptious too, but I don't regret my decision. Never turn down burrata. For the main dish, I settled on the pigeon. It, too, was delicate and delicious--so delectable that I even ate the skin, which I usually avoid. My partner was happy with his magret de canard, and our friend with her lamb shoulder and grilled vegetable side. We didn't stay for dessert, preferring to grab cones at a gelato place down the street so we could enjoy the cathedral at sunset. I have no doubt that dessert would have been as carefully executed and as tasty as the rest of the meal. Upon leaving, the hostess extended a bowl of Vichy mints for us to savor on the way out. They're experts on the little touches.

We got There and they would've serve us. Heads in their time on yelp isn't correct and they were extra rude about it.

Everything about this restaurant--the food, the service, the atmosphere, the wine list--was exquisite. We went several months ago on a trip to Paris. Our meal was a multi-course experience with sizable portions. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, and he made us feel at home. His wine recommendation (I wish I could remember the name so I could try to find it again) was on point. We will be back.

Our best meal in Paris! The hospitality and food were equally wonderful. The chef even sent out special vegetables that we hadn't even ordered.

Very cozy place with great food. Service was on point and i was allowed to enjoy my meal without being interrupted every 10 minutes asking hiw my meal was. Ordered the scallops for appetizer and steak for the meal. Scallops were out of this world. They must have used crack sauce because it was addictive. Steak came out as i oredered it. Very flavorful. For dessert had the brioche. Once again it must have been infused with crack because it stimulated many senses.

Atelier Maître Albert is the cutest, not-so-little upscale Rotisserie. It may be an annex of the famous house Guy Savoy, but the high-end gastronomic side has been replaced by comfy, heart-warming, home- style kind of cooking and ambiance. With a prime location near Notre-dame, in a quiet street of the mazy 5th district, the chic charcoal-colored establishment seems very popular both with locals and tourists. It's a contemporary sight for a very old part of Paris. The dining room is separated in a duality of space. One side is the Vinotheque, perfect for a quick lunch or to stare at their whole wine collection all night. The other side is way cosier, intimate with a fireplace, dimmed lights, the roasting wall of the kitchen and just a warmer feeling overall. The menu is based on the very idea of conviviality and liveliness. The small amuse-bouches were a nice touch and made the very little wait for the efficient running around staff to come take the order. My entrée was a superbly rich velouté poured directly before me in a filled saucepan. My friend had the seasonal salad and sauteed chiken livers which was highly appraisable in intensity of flavour. Main dishes were, plates to share, a choice of spit-grilled meats, vegetables and fish with some cheesy gratin as side dishes. It's simply delicious and copious. It was a fantastic roasty diner I'll definitely try (and fail) to reproduce home. So, I guess I'll have to go back next time I'm in Paris.

The food here was only okay. The chicken and potatoes were a highlight. I'd say the color and presentation of the chicken wasn't that appetizing but it had a great flavor. The mashed potatoes (not pictured) were also really tasty, but seemed kind of runny/loose. The tomato appetizer was nothing to call home about. I've had better desserts as well. I felt like the experience was more so about the name behind the restaurant and not the actual food.

L'Atelier Maitre Albert was the perfect choice for our last dinner on vacation in Paris. I would describe the restaurant as modern/refined dining on rustic comfort food -- like a generous portion of succulent perfectly cooked quarter chicken from the rotisserie, leeks and spinach mushroom gratin served on cast iron cocottes, and creamy rice pudding topped with fresh berries and a scoop of sorbet. The chef created dishes with essential ingredients that could stand well on its own and plated beautifully without being too pretentious (no overwhelming sauces / overly complex seasonings / deconstructed food trends). I loved it!

Everything was wow. Charming restaurant and we were treated so warmly. We got seated right in front of the fireplace and our waiter explained the menu and made wonderful recommendations for us to try. It was a cooler rainy day in Paris and this place felt like a much needed warm blanket. It was chic yet so cozy and the food was hearty and fulfilling. We were one of the first people to arrive for lunch but soon the restaurant began to draw the crowds in, needless to say this did not distract our waiter from checking on us and making us feel welcomed. Service throughout our meal was impeccable and the food was delicious felt like home.

My favorite dinner in Paris - hands down. The veal was incredible, the service was efficient and subtle, and the ambiance was modern - despite the large stone fireplace to the side of the room. Think black walls, large, eclectic artwork, open kitchen... Simply superb.

We really enjoyed our dinner here (i think it's slightly better than the one we tried the day before - the mediterranean). Traditional french food. The starters are really good - both the chicken liver and tomato one. We finished all of them. For entree we both ordered duck (as i love duck), it's cooked very well and i can't finish it. For dessert the grapefruit with tea sauce is very nice. i ordered a chocolate with raspberry but switched with my husband's grapefruit. And the wine adds amazing touch on the food, and stands out on its own as well. The price is not too high (except the wine). We wish there are more restaurants like this in California

Very good but not elegant food at fairly reasonable prices particularly if you go with the "menu" which does offer some choices in terms of starter, main course, and dessert. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Paris when we don't want grand gourmet food and high cost. Order wine by the bottle because the per glass prices are higher than they should be. Also, I'd recommend sticking with meat such as chicken which fares well with rotisserie cooking. Finally, don't be put off by certain negative reviews on TripAdvisor as it's clear that the reviewers expectations were out of line and they did not order food that Maitre Albert does well.

Elegant, cozy, with excellent classic bistro food. There's a big fireplace on one end of the dining room and an open rotisserie area on the other. Staff often does not speak English but it's not a problem. On the corner of a narrow lane on the left bank, in the shadow of Notre Dame. A lovely experience in total.

Woohoo! As GOOD as it GETS! Was recently here over with PC for a late night dinner (11pm) while I was in Paris. HANDS DOWN SUCH GREAT FOOD, AMBIENCE, SERVICE! First of all, the place is open til 1am so for those of us who have to work late and have an insanely busy day scheduled, it was great to know you could pop in for a late dinner... and get GREAT FOOD and RELAX and enjoy the meal without feeling like you had to scarf down the food and jet. # scallops - had these to start and it came with a wonderful beet salad. The scallops were cooked to perfection and so full of flavor! The beet salad was a perfect compliment and there wasn't a bit of the dish left. # roasted chicken w mashed potatoes - ok, of course i had the chicken! how can you not get a classically prepared chicken while in paris.. and oh how i was craving it after having lots of seafood the night before.. the chicken was PERFECT. So tender, and so rich in flavor... and the mashed potatoes were creamy and oh so rich... (pretty sure i heard my waist complaining about the added lb-age from that night.. oops) AND i was amazed to see just how much food came out! (actually, it was too much food.. and even after stuffing myself i had some left over..) # roasted beef with bearnaise - done medium rare and it came out PERFECT... do we see a theme from this review? Wow, HUGE servings once again and the scalloped potatoes that came with were pretty smashing also! Definitely so worth trying. #tarte with ice cream - wow, this ice cream was so refreshing - not your basic run of the mill mint ice cream - it was minty (fresh) but not the mint chocolate chip we're all used to.. and it perfectly complimented the fruit tarte! YUMM. #comte around green apple - sounds intriguing, right ? cheese around an apple... well it was actually slices of cheese and slices of apple - so not so intriguing but the flavors were spot on, so no complaints there. :) the crisp crunch of the green apple with the comte was PERFECT. Love cheese in France LOVVVEEEED the food here, and the ambience is superb - rustic yet chic at the same time.. can you even do that? guy savoy can, apparently. 5/5.

We felt kind of under-dressed walking into this chic space at Atelier Maître Albert with my camera bag after a long day of eating and drinking our way through a sightseeing day in Paris. Immediately, we were but at ease by the host, who greeted us warmly and offered to take my backpack and seat us, even though my choppy French immediately outed me as an American tourist. I really liked the ambiance and decor of Atelier Maître Albert. It was very modern with these cool kitschy orange place mats. It felt like an SF restaurant. We went with the prix fixe menu for about €30, if I remember correctly. This consisted of a cold green soup, which I didn't know and don't remember the French word for what it was composed of. It was pretty okay. Interesting, but nothing to write home about. The main course was a delicious roasted chicken breast and drumstick with life-affirming mashed potatoes (or butter with a side of potato) and jus. Very delicious and perfectly cooked. Dessert was an amazing terrine of some kind of red citrus segments. Grapefruit-like, but not quite. It was very refreshing after all that butter. We enjoyed everything with a delicious bottle of Pinot Gris from Alsace. They had a very reasonable selection of wines normal people would actually purchase and drink. The service was very good and friendly. I don't know how Paris got such a bad rap, but all of the Parisians I encountered were very friendly. Maybe because Americans tip better than the French...hehe. Regardless, my poor attempt at French was countered with much better English on the part of our server, and he was happy to take care of us. All in all, this was one of our favorite meals of our European trip, and our favorite one in Paris. We mostly ate at little Bistros, and I'm sure there are better restaurants to be found, but walking in off the street, it was a very nice surprise and a good value for the money.

Location was central, food was great, service was nice (and English speaking). We showed up 30 minutes late on a busy night and they had even held our table. Atmosphere / ambience seemed to lack a little charm for my taste but I can't really put my finger on it. Wine list was on the smaller side except for the prices. We left happy. You will too!

Mouse house.... Seriously, dining with mice, Mickey Mouse was our guest. While eating at this seemingly upscale restaurant a mouse walks by within a few feet of our table, no joke. So totally shocked. Never in all my years from the finest to the most humble establishments around the world have I ever experienced this. We immediately informed the young waitress who promptly informed us that 70% of all Paris restaurants are infested with mice. We let her know then that in the future we plan to only dine at the 30% of restaurants that are not infested. The manager was equally indignant and defensive about the mice. This is incredible and so off the charts that a Guy Savoy restaurant is unapologetic about having mice in the restaurant. The gross out factor is so over the top I cannot begin to explain....

This is my favorite restaurant in the entire world. I love how the main space is one room with a roaring fire on the left and the chef and the rotisserie on the right. The lights are dim except for the spots that shoot up the walls to hero the art on the dark grey walls. The pop of orange place mats with the cockerel just make me smile. I love the roasted chicken here, amazing wine selection, delicious finger size bread bites and a very delicious, perfectly cooked veggies. There is a second room with windows along the street but I have never sat in there. I think that side would be good for a group. I have been here 7 times and I will go every time I am in Paris. Its perfect! C'est Magnifique

We had a very enjoyable meal here. I was so hyped about this spot and booked it weeks before we flew out to Paris. It's a Guy Savoy spot, sweet! We left very happy (although it wasn't our favorite meal in Paris). Again we were the first to arrive at 8pm, but by 8:30pm the place was packed with folks celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, holidays? The place is totally chic and modern and you can see the chefs in the kitchen doing their thing. They have a fireplace going (score!) and the place is all kinds of cool. I don't remember everything we had, but I do recall an amazing side of potatoes au gratin, foie gras. and a tasty steak! The meal was pretty expensive: over $300 US for two. Definitely the most expensive bill I ever paid for (I don't take a lot at the bill when Kevin takes me to Gary Danko, etc). But, it was a fun and memorable dinner.

We had a very pleasant meal here. They have a fairly small menu, and a set menu (aka prix fixe, a term which seems to be used more in the US than France) both available in English, fortunately. The atmosphere is great. A very chic, modern but comfortable space. We were promptly seated despite not having a booking. My roasted chicken was good, but not great. The highlight of the meal for me was the dessert, which was Dark chocolate fondant, crispy praliné, cacao sorbet and custard cream which was delicious. This is definitely a spendy place, but it's worth a visit.

The service, location and decor all get 5 stars. We had a 9:30 reservation on a Monday, and by the time we got there, the "spits" were off, with no meat hanging from them. I had thought maybe the cook to order, but that wasn't the case. When we ordered (Beef and Veal), the meal came out magically from the back. The veal, other than a portion being dry, was very tender and flavorful. Best dish of the meal. The beef, although flavorful, looked as though it had been sitting out for a while, and was about as tough. I think we just hit it on a bad night. Dessert was well executed, and the staff did a great job with wine pairing. I would give them a second try if we end up in Paris again.

Typically divine French fine dining in a British mod setting. Everything is delicately delicious and copious in flavor but not proportion - which leaves you feeling satisfied but not stuffed. A perfect place to truly enjoy a three course meal not having to regret a single bite. Wine by the glass is about 14-30 euros but you can trust on a good pairing. Not fancy or pretentious, we were even offered a mint on our way out. It's where you can't wait to become a regular customer !

I've eaten here twice; once in a group of ten and once as a couple. The experience was very different. First, the place: slick and modern. The main room is an open kitchen with vertical rotisseries. It's impressive to see, but warm in the summer. We found very new wines at fair to good prices. The meats were caramelized on the outside and very tasty. We had a great time with the group and frankly weren't focused on the details. High quality, slightly chic indifferent service on that Saturday night. We returned without our friends later that year and were flat out disappointed. The flavors were slightly off, the sauces just didn't work and we spoke with the Maite d', and he asked me, "if I really thought the food was off?" Yeah! Never been back. Too many great restaurants that get it right. For a group, I'd think I might return.

Fantastic! This was possibly my favorite of the restaurants we visited in Paris. The food and service were both excellent. My appetizer of asparagus with soft cooked eggs was simple and elegant, frankly, that is what I want! I love seeing a restaurant prepare quality ingredients with a simple treatment and letting the natural flavors shine. For a main course I enjoyed the duck breast with polenta. Again, so simple and so delicious! My sister and her friend got the chicken, which I tasted and it was delicious. A previous reviewer said it was just chicken and mashed potatoes, and I would say, Yup! But that is a great thing! The potatoes were buttery creamy goodness and her chicken was tender and moist. I would go back here in a heart beat! This was an outstanding and reasonably priced restaurant. Wish I lived closer!

It's easy to see why this is consistently rated one of the very best restaurants in Paris. L'Atelier Maître Albert is one of those elegant restaurants that manages to still feel comfortable. As soon as I entered, I knew we were in for a special treat. This is the affordable option if you want to sample the genius that is Guy Savoy, one of the very top chefs in the world. The interior features understated slate gray walls with beautiful architectural details and lots of orange. The roster is the prominent symbol and roasted and grilled meats are the house specialty. And, less I forget to mention it, the service was superb: attentive without being overwhelming. Our waitress was extremely helpful and patient with us, she never made us feel silly or stupid for not speaking perfect or, in my case, even intelligible, French. I had an appetizer of squid stuffed with crushed grapes that was to die for. I had a lovely fish entrée and something chocolatey for dessert. Everything was absolutely divine. If you can get a reservation, go here! It was about 55 Euro a person (in 2004) and well worth it! We walked back along the river, enjoying the view of Notre Dame and all the street activities. It was a gorgeous evening.

Awesome..had several items on the menu including roasted duck which was perfect. Take their wine pairing advice ... very well done

A really good local restaurant the spit fire roasted chicken was great as was the beef

So disappointing. From one restaurant owner to another..(my husband owns a San Francisco restaurant.) The demand to appeal to the local clientele.. most importantly the tourists. That is what this place does. Appeals to the American/British tourists. Every patron was as happy as could be....because they didn't know better. "How fun to be in Paris and enjoy an "amazing" meal! Yes, I would love to have multiple sides.. thank you! You're steps from the Notre Dame?.. Fantastic! Many employees stand around and do absolutely nothing. Including the guy who takes meat off the skewer. I watched one guy pick his tooth with a toothpick, look at it and then put the toothpick in his mouth.(Savoring his lunch?) Are you serious?? We spent $350 here. ($190 on a bottle of wine.. in the hopes that it would make the evening better.) We spent $150 at L' Affable Bistro. Go there!! It was so amazing! Do not let the fancy chef hats here fool you. My chicken was so dry. Inedible. My husband was convinced by the, less than happy waiter, to get the steak "for one". It was bland and underwhelming. He said multiple times that "I could have barbecued this at home." It was so disappointing and we feel like Guy could do better. You have Michelin rated restaurants!! This was so not one of them.

One of guy savoys' restaurants. Very nice environment and service. Food is good but a bit pricy.

simple, unfussy dining in the shadow of the notre dame. a guy savoy restaurant where rustic rôtisserie is the specialty. from the finest boeuf de charolles to poulet de bresse accompanied by classic gratin dauphinois, satisfaction assurée.

This is a lively, casual, rotisserie, with excellent food. We made reservations at 8 p.m. and got a 945 p.m. time slot, on a Saturday night! This was my husband and mine second night in Paris and we still had not adjusted to the 9 hour time difference, so we slept in the afternoon and ate late at night. We had been to two other pubs/brassiere in our neighborhood that were awful. But then we found Atelier Maitre Albert in the Notre dame neighborhood. I had to try the roast chicken and mashed potatoes that everyone was raving about and it didn't fail! I also had the strawberry dessert which was also delicious. They even called a taxi for us after we ate! English speaking staff. That are helpful, courteous & patient. Kitchen is open & you can see all the meat roasting. Definitely will be returning.

My significant other and I dined here on April 30th after choosing it from the Food Lover's Guide book. The atmosphere was warm and hip. The food was exceptional; superb way of roasting the meats and the spinach mushroom gratin was one of the top dishes we had on our entire eight day vacation. The only reason we didn't give the restaurant 5-stars was due to our Italian waiter, he truly is the only person that we encountered on vacation that was very disappointing. His arrogance had no justification as well as his incompetence or possible dishonesty. Brought two incorrect sides, forgot to bring one side and one beverage and double billed two items. He would have to explain why these mistakes occurred as well as why he asked for a tip and was adamant that there was no service fee included in the bill. We tipped him and additional 15% and hoped that he felt remorseful.

Not Maybach, but Lexus of French cuisine.

My wife and I dined here on a Friday night, around 8:30pm. As others have said, the atmosphere is relaxed, with a nice modern vibe/decor going on. We both opted for the 6-course degustation menu at 70 Euro per person. Our dishes that night were: sea bream tarter, asparagus soup two-ways, meagre (fish) filet on light and airy mashed potatoes, sliced duck breast, grapefruit in tea sauce, and a chocolate praline. For the taste and quality of the food on the plates, the price was just right. The a la carte menu featured larger dishes of the rotisserie chicken and other meat dishes cooked on the spit, as well as some very classic starters. Service was to the quality expected at a Guy Savoy affiliated establishment. Definitely recommended if you are in the 6th and looking to avoid the more touristy dining options that often abound.

This place was amazing! I wasn't feeling well on my last night in Paris and stumbled upon this place right by my hotel and it didn't dissapoint. It's got the amazing rotisseries.... I had the chicken and let me tell you how juicy it was and the skin was cooked to perfection-ie..CRISPY and delicious. My potatoes were filling my tummy and I didn't want it to end. Great ambiance, great service and they were very nice to the non French speaking people which I appreciate...I'd dress up, the ambiance is great, modern and just an overall warm and inviting place. I'm craving it now!

My son and I had a delightful lunch here. The food was extraordinary. The service could not be beat. We came to the restaurant from a big day of shopping and were loaded down with bags. They happily stored them for us without making us feel like an imposition The atmosphere is wonderful. I look forward to returning next week with my husnband.

My sisters-in-laws and I had dinner at atelier Albert tonight and thought the meal was fine, nothing overly extraordinary. My two star rating has more to do with the attitude of the wait staff. They were chilly at best. Slightly rude, but just rude enough to make us feel marginalized. I say NO! To Albert!

This was, without exception, the culinary highlight of our Paris visit. This kitchen wears its heart on its sleeve and wants nothing more than to be in service of the food and the customer. As a San Francisco Bay Area food snob there is nothing more impressive to me than when the shine of a dish comes from allowing it to stand on its own because it was prepared by a master chef. It's all about technique and fire here. The magret de canard was like a perfect prime rib, the heirloom tomatoes with burrata were heaven, and the gratins (potatoes dauphinois, spinach and mushrooms) were so worth eating-- not overly rich but (again) focused on the ingredient. Even the simplest of foods are transcendental if you know how to prepare them. The dining room is beautifully appointed and I'd love to know the story behind that fireplace-- you just know it has one! The service was beyond reproach as well as authentic and warm. While we didn't expect to, we felt immediately at home. Also worth noting-- our vegetarian kid was not merely accommodated but embraced by the menu as it stood. ("Je suis vegetarian" was feeling burdensome to him!) Lastly, central to the main dining room is an enormous spit and it's positively thrilling to see the chef at work-- unusual in Paris from my experience.
