"A modern French steakhouse that’s as well suited for a business lunch as for a lengthy meal among friends, Clover Grill, from award-winning chef Jean-François Piège, is an elegant spot popular among the fashion and media crowd. The chef found a location with a big enough space to fit a custom meat cabinet as well as two dining rooms. Beef is the obvious star of the show here—filet, prime rib, or as a burger—but don’t overlook the elevated starters, such as tomato tartare with basil and straciatella, or a gravlax of wild sea bass with lemon and dill. There’s divine braised shrimp and local fish, served with a choice of sauces. Go light or go all in, but whatever you do order the churros for dessert, which you’ll dream about long after you’ve left the restaurant." - Lindsey Tramuta, Sara Lieberman

"Mouthwatering dry - aged meats – Baltic black beef, Bavarian beef, Blonde d'Aquitaine, Black Angus – take pride of place in the window, drawing in diners keen to try them for themselves. From the starters to the desserts, everything is cooked over coals or roasted on a spit, giving the dining experience its own particular flavour. A great success." - Michelin Inspector

Very solid dining experience. Having said that, the steak was good but not superb. For the price, I have had better steak. But..the food was good. The appetizer, sides and dessert were all top notch. The service was great. And it's a comfortable place to have dinner. The price it just a little much for what you get.

I visited Clover Grill today, a place I once considered one of my favorite steak spots in Paris. Unfortunately, the experience fell far below expectations. To start, they served the baguette without butter—in Paris of all places—which felt very unusual. I ordered a filet mignon cooked medium well, but it arrived dry and tough, as did the steaks for my wife and son. The steak knives were almost useless, struggling to slice through the meat. I recommend the restaurant seriously reconsider their knife quality. On a positive note, the mashed potatoes were excellent. However, the biggest shock was the dessert: I ordered a chocolate moelleux with ice cream, only to find it priced at an eye-watering 38 euros! The final bill came to 397 euros, and frankly, for that price, I expected far better quality and service. Mr. Piège, if you’re charging this much, every detail—be it the food, service, or dining tools—needs to reflect care and honesty.

Visited for dinner and sat at the bar, it was very busy. I enjoyed my burger and frites. The meat was tasty and overall had a great texture. I would say it didn’t have a ton of flavor since it’s basically meat and cheese but it was very good nonetheless. I didn’t catch his name but my server was fantastic and his first night was tonight. Merci beaucoup to this gentleman for taking care of me on a busy night!

Having read multiple reviews of this place i had high expectations for this restaurant. When we first came in everything went great and the service was helpfull and we felt like we were noticed properly. But after the place got more customers everything changed. The room where we sat got really really loud and i have to say they were short staffed. Overall the food was good. Chefs were great and their open kitchen and the steak cabinets look great. They made the beef just to the temperature i asked and startes and sides worked aswell. I have mixed feelings because at the beginning everything was spot on but then it kind of fell apart. So in short if you want nice steak/beef this is propably place for you if you can tolerate bit of waiting and dont mind kind of high prices.

Look I am going to be honest here, I never rate a restaurant based on price quality ratio and usually try to objectively assess the food. But when you are paying 300 EUR for a kg of meat, oh boy I am setting my expectations way too high. Annnnnnnd it was disappointing. The meat was good but I cook it better at home. Pooy seasoned and both the simmental and the cricketton lacked the oumph of dry aging. They were not bad just good pieces of meat for which I payed five times the price I would have paid to cook them better at home. The place is super nice though and the service was friendly although some of the sides arrived 30 mins late it was an honest mistake. Weirdly enough the cheese I took as a dessert was the highlight of the night! Unexpected :D To be honest, I would not recommend the restaurant based on its price to quality ratio. You can find better meat elsewhere.

Clover Grill is a restaurant in Paris that specializes in grilled meat. The place has a colorful wall with paintings and an open kitchen at the back. There is also a large aging cabinet with different cuts of meat, which are aging. The wine list is extensive and offers a variety of choices. I ordered the bavette as the main course, which came with a small portion of bearnaise sauce that I had to share. The meat was tender and juicy. The price was quite high for what I got, and I did not feel very impressed by the experience. The service was friendly and welcoming, though.

If you’re looking for an exceptional steak experience, avoid this place. All the blogs pointed us in this direction and the only sane reason they were featured were that they bought their advertisement slot. The meat quality was horrendous. At 25% of the price this wouldn’t have been a good meal. Inattentive service and no atmosphere. There is so much choice in Paris, this shouldn’t be on your list.

Clover Grill is a local spot by Jean-François Piège who owns several other restaurants including the Michelin-starred Grand Restaurant. The vibe here is chill and casual: a classic bistro focusing on its beef: French cuts from the Aquitaine and premium meats from Metzger butcher's shop: Angus flank steak from Kansas and the Polish Noire de Baltique strip loin steaks. The dining room is intimate and to the left, a bar room with marble bar, plush leather banquettes, and a honeycomb tiled floor. We shared the salad, for the steak we asked for a smaller bone in cut from Normandy to share. The price is by kilo and worked out to be about 100 Euro for the steak it was perfectly grilled to medium rare with amazing flavor. The pepper sauce was amazing and went well with the steak. Great wine list, good service, good crowd!

Excellent food, ambiance, and service. It was a small place and you probably need a res, but I was flying solo and lucked into the only spot at the bar. So happy I did.

Just don't do it -- awful service, food is not good and def not worth the money. Go anywhere else.

I spent $90 on probably one of the worst cuts of steaks I've ever had. Instead of trying to fix the situation the waiter tried to say it's the type of steak I got. I eat a lot of steak and know my cuts of meat. I've had rib eye a billion times and this steak was inedible. Never coming back.

If you like beef.....and happen to be in Paris, then this is the place! Prepared to perfection in this quaint friendly restaurant. Try the comme une pizza, what a treat, like nothing else! The beef is truly wonderful and again prepared to perfection. The wine list is extensive and comprehensive. The roasted pineapple was out of this world, definitely a must!

Disappointed by this spot. Restaurant was empty. Foie gras was super cold meaning really hard and tasteless. We asked for the meat to be cooked black and blue. Obviously this steakhouse has no idea what it means because our steak came in cold and definitely not seared! The meat was still good and definitely great quality despite the big chunks of fat. Side were ok. Nothing outstanding. Wine menu is more than basic.

Awesome cote de boeuf!great piece of meat! as smooth as silk and flavorful! The mashed potato was buttery and tasted great food-wise it was great but service was not as good as food. they only had french menu and had hard time to explain.

Nice restaurant hidden in a side street. We booked in advance and arrived 15 minutes late but we're seated right away. Their service is 5 star. Their filet steak is amazing. The fish and lobster were not good at all, I wouldn't recommend to try them. The starters we tried were "comme une pizza" and celery with truffle cream, both were very nice. I'd return for the steak.

Well I heard about this place from my friend and decided to have my lunch here today without having a reservation. I got seated at the bar counter right away which was ok. Steak was good but not impressive. I do not recommend this restaurant if you're from the US. We have a way better top quality steakhouses anyway. My main problem today was the service. Since I sat they never explained the menu, which was in French. After order no one bothered to check if my steak was ok or I needed anything. I was completely and totally unattended until I finished my main, and asked for a hefty bill. I felt i was badly abandoned. BTW it was not the case for the people sitting on the tables. They seemed to get appropriate level of attention and service. Then why it happened just to me? Is it because I didn't book and sat alone at the counter? Then Mr and Mrs Clover, please don't just accept "walk in" customers or warn them they will not get the proper service, which they deserve!!! I thought I would try their good looking desserts but after seeing them treat me like a cash machine I decided not to waste my time and money any more at this place.

The ambiance, the service, the bar, the drinks, the location: all PERFECT! My experience dining at Clover Grill has been my favorite in Paris yet! It's also the rotisserie chicken was delicious and tender and the steak was cooked to perfection. A great place for small groups and dates too!

I have to say, the food was truly flawless but the service was both puzzling and horrible. The waitress refused to bring small plates for sharing. Requests had to be made multiple times. No one checked on the food. I had to get up and ask for multiple items and for our plates to be cleared. We were told to order sides our meal already came with. Instead of re-pouring the wine, we were presented with the rest of the bottle after the main course. Everything was excellent and delicious but the experience was horrible. Five star food, zero star experience.

The food was good! The manager was extremely rude, we came at 7 with no reservation, our hotel recommended it for us. The restaurant had only 2 tables filled. We waited to be seated but no one helped while they saw us, and one of the waiters welcomed us so we though that we can seat ourselves. When we did, the manager came shouting at us,gave us a lecture with a very sharp tone to wait to be seated and we should know that this is how it works in paris! I was so shocked and I asked him to speak slowly and I explained what happened, he was still insisting that it is our fault, and that this is how it is in this country. He was rude and racist. I asked for the owner number and no one helped with that too ! If you want to waist your positive energy and run your day, visit this racist restaurant.
