Le Relais Gascon

Had a lovely dinner here with my girlfriend and everything was fantastic. The food was warm, hearty, and full of flavor. We tried the onion soup, chicken scallop with cream, and carbonara — all were absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming and cozy. Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic, comforting French food in a relaxed setting.

The restaurant is in a great location, the staff is amazing, Marco is the best, he loves to serve people and he is a great sales man. The food is great, we tried the onion soup 🍲 😋 and all the salads 🥗 area amazing, great taste also the lamb and good portions. Prices are reasonable, and we are really pleased that we gave it a try. You have to come, you won't regretted. 👌🇫🇷 💙🤍❤️.

My wife and I had a great dinner here, and I already want to go back. We had the escargots for an appetizer, I had the cassoulet, and she had the canard (duck) confit. All were excellent. The escargots were the best we have ever had, and both of us loved our entrees. In addition to the high quality of the food, it is a great value. My cassoulet had two sausages and a generous portion of duck for under 20 euros. The duck confit and the meals we saw neighboring patrons have were similarly large meals for the price. The salads looked outstanding, for example. We fully recommend Le Relais Gascon to anyone who wants to experience the regional cuisine of Gascony or just wants a great meal at a great price. We'll be back, either tomorrow or next time we're in Paris.

Visited for a late lunch so easily got a table without a reservation. Aperol Spritz was a nice apperitive option, other cocktails also available. Kids menu has a few options from beef burger to pasta carbonara or with salmon. Beef bourguignon had tender beef in a tasty gravy. Also tried the lamb which had an excellent flavour. Kids menu includes ice cream with whipped cream. A few different wines available by the glass or carafe. Friendly service. Card machine was not working for payment but there are a few ATMs just up the street.

This place has great food and many of the traditional french meals you would want to try. We got escargot which was fantastic. Everytime we get escargot, it’s absurdly overloaded with butter with minimal herbs. This place does it correctly with a jam packed herbal sauce which has a good amount of butter but not flooded. The foie gras was delectable as it is creamy and packed with flavor. The carbonara is delicious and hits the spot. While it is not the best carbonara I’ve ever had, it is in my top 3. I would recommend coming to dine here as the food is excellent.

We ended up sharing both the Beef Bourguignon and the Duck Confit at this place, which we stopped at after visiting the Sacre Coeur. In my opinion, the bourguignon was the significantly better of the two. The beef was super tender, and very easy to cut apart. You practically didn't need a fork and knife - it was that easy to cut through. This carried over when biting through, as there just was a very nice and easy satisfying feeling to each bite that I really enjoyed The wine sauce was an incredible complement to this dish. It was super rich and flavorful, and the amount of sauce acted like a fantastic coating for the beef, soaking into the meet and combining the two flavors together. the sauce also acted as a great dipping liquid for the fried potatoes The fried potatoes were not so good, however On the contrary, the duck confit was something I liked less. It was on the drier side, and pretty far from being juicy. the skin wasn't really crispy either, and mostly felt hard on the outside rather than a crisp texture. it wasn't inedible or anything, but was less enjoyable to get through than the beef dish Since these were shared, the price per person ended around 23 euros, which isn't too bad Overall, the bourguignon would have gotten a 9/10, and the duck confit a 7/10, so I'll average them to an 8/10

Great place to eat in Montmartre area. Very reasonable prices, large portions and very very tasty! We had some salads and we're more the full! Seafood salad I had was more then great! Very balanced with salmon, shrimps, lots of greens, avocado and country styled potato. Many thanks to the team and recommend to everyone!

We actually walked quite a bit to come And try this place and very glad we did. Rustic environment and succulent dishes. Burrata & foie gras to start and beef and duck for mains. Everything came out super fast, hot and with a smile. Highly recommend

I visited Le Relais Gascon in Montmartre on a Rick Steves' recommendation, and it hit the spot! We almost walked by the unpretentious exterior, but we appreciated that the restaurant didn't feel overly touristy (given its location on Rue des Abbesses). The menu features French classics like steak and hearty soups, but the salmon salad caught my eye. Although I wouldn't typically order a salad as my main course, I'm glad I took the chance because this turned out to be one of the best salads I've ever tasted. The greens were fresh and topped with creamy dressing and an abundance of smoked salmon, olives, tomatoes, and crispy garlic potato slices. Those crispy potato slices took this salad to the next level - they were a cross between crispy garlic fries and potato chips. The salad was massive and could easily feed two, although I enjoyed it so much that I nearly finished it myself. I definitely was not expecting one of my favorite meals in Paris to be salad!

Located in a cute street area. Be prepare to walk up a steep street. Our tour guide made reservation for a party of 16. We got seated upstairs in a tight cramped room by the restroom. There was barely any air circulation. Good selection of items on the menu. I ordered the escargot and beef bourguignon. The escargot was good! Lots of herbs and butter which is how I like my escargot prepared. Soon after my beef bourguignon came out. It looked like a deconstructed beef and pasta dish. The noodles looked like tagliatelle. The meat and sauce was slightly salty. Meat was tender tho! Service was average. They seem to forget some orders and we had to remind them again. Overall, very nice people tho!

Service was really sweet. My mom loved the salad with the corn and potatoes, I certainly did not. No one touched the 4 cheese pasta. The gamay was DELICIOUS as was the cheese plate.

I forget how I found this restaurant, but we were looking for a place to have dinner in Montmarte. The owner is a big personality, kidding around with customers and passersby. The restaurant is great for people watching. Try to snag one of the tight outdoor tables. There are some tables indoors and more on the second floor, up a vertiginous flight of stairs. The staff were very nice. The house wine is cheap and refreshing. There's a great deal with three courses for 32.5 euros, with a up charge of another 4.50 for the most expensive dish on the menu. That's what I ordered. I started off with a good piece of pate, served with excellent bread, that was happily replenished. I had the aforementioned steak Rossini. It was good. My wife ordered another steak dish that she was plus minus about. There were a lot of other good looking dishes served. The mood was convivial. I had a really generous cheese plate for dessert. Dinner for 2 was 70 euros. This was a charming, atmospheric restaurant with solid food.

Rude service. Was treated differently as solo traveler. Will not recommend, disappointed as was looking forward to their salad.

These guys make a great steak with foie gras. The service is great and they are always willing to accommodate you. It's a very neighborhood vibe mixed with tourist so you get a real Parisian experience.

Food was very great, service was excellent. Very warm, welcoming, and relaxed setting, just a short walk away from the tourist area.

After a long morning traipsing around Montmatre getting some material for the dining room chairs (if you need any material of any kind, then Reine, that's the place to go or anywhere around there)...we collapsed into Le Relais Gascon for lunch Now this was nice; not so busy mid afternoon on a Saturday thankfully...a couple of confit & pommes sarladaises, washed down with a 50cl of St Chinian. Saving of course just a little to accompany a decent cheese platter (though, unfortunately, you could clearly see the chalky result of the soft cheeses being kept in the fridge). Good service; very pleasant, enjoyable, no rush A place to return to

We had arrived in Paris and everyone was starving after checking into our Airbnb and walking around to sightsee for a bit. We just happened to end up here and asked if they were able to serve us anything that would be gluten free as two of us are intolerant. They were extremely knowledgeable about GF so we felt comfortable placing an order. We all got the filet de boeuf facon rossini, which was tender and cooked to perfection, and the two of us with gluten intolerances had green beans as a side (the potatoes gratin were not GF) which complemented the steak beautifully. My husband, who isn't gluten free, got the side of tartiflette (potatoes with bacon and cheese) which he said was amazing. Our server was absolutely amazing even with the language barrier and didn't make us feel like we were causing him extra work even with all the questions. We sat on the patio, which was adorable and very accommodating for the dogs. I would definitely stop by if you are in Paris.

Our hostel recommended this place because I wanted something French and it did not disappoint! The place was cramped and but filled with a lot of family and laughter. I shared the fois gras appetizer which was absolutely fresh and delicious! I don't usually care for it in America but coming here changed my mind! I'm just bitter that I shared it! For my main course, I got the smoked salmon salad and like other yelpers mentioned, it was huge and came with potatoes on top! It was also loaded with smoked salmon and I got a huge chunk in each bite. They definitely didn't skimp out! My friend also got the duck confit which was super juicy, tender and flavorful. He usually scarfs his food down but made sure to savor this one! Don't get me wrong, I don't usually believe in paying for salads, but you'll want this one!

Absolutely amazed at all these high reviews. We were seated in a back room by the bathroom and waited for 20+ minutes without any service at all (not even water). After that we left, and I don't even think they noticed us leaving.

Had dinner here after a long day of travel. Sat upstairs and the atmosphere was great. My mom and I both ordered the 1/2 roasted chicken. It was tender and flavorful. Ended with chocolate mousse and decaf cappuccinos. It was wonderful. We were still talking about it the next day. Also we had glasses of house red that were great and inexpensive AND didn't give me a headache. I love Europe!!

Perfect place to stop on the way to Mont-Saint-Michel. Food is superb & surprisingly interesting. Service is friendly & engaging. Very low key & casual. Don't let that fool you. The food (especially the aligot) was tre' magnificent. Service made the entire experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed this adorable restaurant in Montmartre. We sat upstairs by the window with a incredible view of the busy streets below and the view. We had an excellent meal, some of had beef bourguignon - so tender and delicious. Others had an amazing roast chicken with frites. Service was amazing and on the way out we met the owner! Such a nice guy. Definitely recommend!

Food was good - ambiance was good, we loved the escargot! My daughter had the pasta w mushroom sauce and loved it. My croque Monsieur (spelling?) was good and we had a salmon with leeks which was very tasty! We have no complaints here - one of our best meals in Paris!

Quando siamo arrivati a Parigi eravamo stanchi ed affamati il primo ristorantino che abbiamo trovato siamo entrati. Il mangiare senza lode e senza frode buono ma potrebbero corarlo un po' di piu'

This restaurant was recommended by a friend of a friend who ate here when he was visiting Paris. Apparently they make amazing salads. So the hubby and I took two long subway rides and walked, and walked, and walked until we stumbled upon this restaurant. The trip here was quiet the journey, so we were both happy when we found the restaurant, and got a table for two inside, seated near the kitchen and stairway to the upstairs dinning area and bathroom. Our waiter spoke English so there were no problems ordering. I got the salad with tuna and egg, and the hubby got one with smoked salmon. Salads arrived soon after with a basket of bread. The first couple of bites were OK, but then I just got turned off by the taste of thick, garlic sauce on lettuce. I am a garlic freak, and usually love food like this, but something was just totally off. The egg and garlic sauce together made me want to throw up, especially because the egg had a grey ring around it. I ate half the salad and was done with it. The service was a HUGE turnoff. I had to watch the waiters act a fool, burp before bringing drink orders to tables, and huddle at the bar laughing like idiots. Strictly unprofessional, and hard to take seriously when our waiter tried to tend to our table. Reading some of the past reviews from this place, I would not be surprised if they serve dropped bread to other tables. Since days and nights can change, and there are some great waiters and horrible waiters, I am sure some have had a great experience here. I for one, thought this was the worst restaurant I have visited in Paris thus far. If you really want to check this place out, just order the fried potato's with garlic sauce, and skip the salads and meals all together. Only good thing about this restaurant is that they speak English! Update:: been sick all day from this place.

Great bistro serving traditional French food, it was a short walk from Sacre-Coeur. Our service was quite a bit slower than the tables around us, other than that I was a good meal. Our daughter had the kids steak and fries and finished her entire plate. The highlight of the meal was their speciality (ribeye with foie gras on top) it was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, would definitely order again.

Had a wonderful meal with two courses. The staff are very friendly. We had the Bæuf Bourgoignon it was very good.

I used to come here all the time when I was studying abroad in Paris, and I still love to come back when I visit. Southern French cuisine, fair prices, friendly service, nice atmosphere. Definitely do try their rich and scrumptious "giant salads", which are topped with the most amazing garlic potatoes. If you're dining early, you can make do without a reservation.

I was here with some guests who recently visited and only have positive things to say. They accommodated our party of 12 on one day's notice, they had great pricing on lunch, and they even gave us a back room where we could have more privacy (and be a bit more jovial). Warning to vegetarians: the salads are ENORMOUS. :-)

Le Relais Gascon was recommended to me by the guide of the Paris Walks tour of Montmartre. It was the best meal I had my entire trip! The food was delicious and the staff incredibly friendly and accommodating. I will definitely go back next visit!

Great well prepared food, good menu options, good location, nice decor and ambience, good friendly service.

I ate 3 dinners there as it is close to my hotel in Pigalle. Overall loves the food, will recommend. Service is top notch. My wife didn't like the steak and they changed it immediately. escargot - absolutely delicious, had it for all 3 nights onion soup - light and fresh and flavorful, not so salty Egg with mayonnaise sauce - really is just that, boiled eggs with mayo and salad. Will not repeat, nothing special Confit de Canard - delicious duck meat. sauce might be too seat for some, but overall excellent faux filet - my wife asked for well done, but it was overcooked and way too char tasted. Service immediately took it back and asked if she like something else. Boeuf Bourguinon - meat is excellent, sauce is great flavor, but maybe a little too salty. cassoulet - to die for. Will highly recommend this dish to anyone Onglet a E'chalotte - My wife got this after she send the faux steak back. I don't know if they did it wrong but the beef ain't thinly sliced at all. But the food and sauce are all excellent. Steak Tartare - the meat is fresh and tasted well, but not seasoned much. Its nice but will not repeat Overall very much enjoy the food and restaurant and its service. Will come back again and highly recommended for the inexpensive yet tasty food.

Not far from the Sacre Cour (just walk down the hill, and then a few minutes more). The food here is top notch - the salads are huge (definitely enough for a main course), and the pepper steak was also great. A highlight is the awesome potato chips that accompany the mains and salads. If you're not hungry, just order these! And the chocolate mousse, too - simple but delicious. Menu is available in English and service was quick (although it wasn't very crowded either) & friendly.

My inner dialogue when trying to decide if I should avoid eating lunch at the mediocre (3-star) Yelp reviewed Le Relais Gascon, or try to ignore my heart (and stomach) and feed my craving for fried potatoes ON salad: Me: I really want French fries or another type of potato and possibly salad. What's close to me? Ohhh I bookmarked this place that has salads WITH FRIED POTATOES on top! "Yelp influenced" me: Why did I bookmark a three star place when there are all of these other places with four and five stars close by? We should go somewhere else. Can't risk it being bad. Only have a few more meals in Paris left. Me: Nooooo we should go to this place and give it a try. READ THE REVIEWS. Most sound pretty good! We should gooo!!! "Yelp influenced" me: This lady stated she actually got sick after eating here. And here's another review making it sound pretty gross and disappointing. Thanks, but no thanks. Me: I NEED SALADS WITH MOUNTAINS OF GARLIC POTATOES. Potaaaatttoooooeeesss!!!! "Yelp influenced" me: Fine. We'll *try* it... even though it's one of our last days in Paris and there are other (better) options. Also, we probably should not let boyfriend see that I'm suggesting a place with only three stars for one of our last meals of the trip (and 2016). Uh so guess what? It was so awesome and delicious we went back for another round of salads and potatoes for my last lunch in Paris. In my opinion, my fellow Yelpers were a tad too critical and could possibly push someone to miss out on this gem of a place. Other review sites also rate it over 4 stars. I had the Oceane Salad both days and was excited for the shrimp, huge pieces of avocado, and tomatoes (among the other great parts of the salad). The restaurant itself is very small and somewhat cramped, but totally worth a visit.

We loved the salad here! Gigantic bowls full of romaine lettuce, lightly dressed, topped with your choice of egg, ham, olives, and of course- thin, crispy slices of garlicky potatoes. I got the salad with a lot of meat- fried egg, and ham and parma ham. I didn't eat any of the parma ham (it was too much) and you have to dig into the salad to actually get to the lettuce, but the potatoes are really good~ My husband really liked his steak with Roquefort sauce. Their French onion soup was delicious, expensive at 8 euros but worth every euro!!! Probably the best French onion soup I had.

The Relais Gascon is a little restaurant that is so welcoming and delicious! Mahmoud (I think is the owner) was so funny and sweet and really made my friend and I's day. We wanted to try escargot but we didn't want to waste any and we asked if we could get a smaller portion. With no hesitation Mahmoud said he would give us 3 escargots for free with complimentary wine. He didn't have to do that, but he definitely made our Paris trip much better. The escargots were amazing and my steak was incredible. My friend got a salad and the portion was huge and she said she really enjoyed it. Next time I'm in Paris I'm gonna be sure to make a stop there again!

Great place for lunch. Actually got the salad with smoked duck and foie gras as well as the shrimp and avocado and savory onion soup. We actually shared this meal with a glorious bottle of Medal winning red between three people and it was just the right amount because the servings are so big. This was worth the search as I found this in my tour book by Lonely planet. Totally worth it and the walk through Montemarte is enough to build up your appetite. Service was fast....very cozy restaurant so do be surprised to be right next to the next table- but in France, this is very normal. Worth the stop in Montemarte and I heard they are open until 2am...

We had lunch at Le Relais Gascon after visiting Sacré Cœur, which is only a 10-minute walk. We noticed a few businessmen, construction workers, and even lone diners who seemed to be on their lunch break, considering it was a weekday. It became quite busy around 12:30 PM. Le Relais Gascon came up while I was searching for a restaurant in the Montmartre area and we're glad I found it. It is very easy to locate, and it is actually right beside the Abbesses Metro station. We started with an onion soup and escargots. My boyfriend is the one who loves onion soup and he thought their onion soup was just 'okay'. It was his first time trying escargots. He liked it, and so did I. They did use a lot of butter, but I thought it made it very tasty. For our mains, we opted for the beef bourguignon and chose the omelette to lighten up our meal since everything else was fairly heavy. The beef stew was very good; the beef was juicy and tender, and the sauce was not too salty. The only thing was the pasta was overcooked. The omelette was nothing special, but the garlic fried potato thins were amazing! The portions were big (reminded me of American portions), especially the salads we saw coming out of the kitchen. You definitely get what you pay for here, and that's a good thing when you are in Paris. The service was friendly, tourist-friendly in particular (considering there is English on their menu as well), and the environment is quite comfy and casual. We will dine here again next time we visit Paris.

WONDERFUL. I wish I discovered Le Relais Gascon earlier since I lived SO CLOSE, but it's too late. :'( I made up for it by going twice in one day. A Parisian friend took me here and was surprised that I hadn't heard of it. I really, really wish I did: continuous service AND closing at 2am? Wow. On her recommendation, I had one of the giant salads ... and I was stunned by the amount of food they poured onto my bowl. I could only finish 1/4 of it because the potatoes were just too tempting (and very, very filling). I got the one with duck and foie gras, but I actually don't like foie gras. Ooops. :x She ordered the pâté (only 7€), which was large and generous and waayy too delicious. We didn't finish it. It was so good. I ordered it for my dinner that night, but I didn't finish it even as my main meal. My brother ordered the magret de canard with honey, and it was AMAZING. So, so good. Mmmmmm. :) I sat inside during lunch and on the terrace for dinner. Both are great. =) No complaints at all about Le Relais Gascon; they're brisk and very French and great. However, they do make one concession for Americans - doggie bags allowed! Yay. :D

On a recent trip to Paris, my lovely wife and I planned to visit Montmarte and visit Sacre-Coeur and the Dali Exhibition. But after climbing the tower at Notre Dame and not taking the elevator at the Abbesses metro, our legs just wanted a place to rest without further vertical challenges. Thanks to Les Yelpers, we sought out Le Relais Gascon, a short walk away from the Metro. With the light from the sun streaming through the open front on a beautiful Parisian autumn afternoon, we were quickly seated and ordered refreshing Gin Tonic and Cuba Libre. We each decided on one of the giant salads that a lot of the patrons seemed to be enjoying, Salade du Chef (with chicken breast) for my wife and Salade LÓceane (shrimp and smoked salmon) for me. Each was brimming from the salad bowls, but the star of the salad was the thinly sliced garlic potatoes layered on top. Mon Dieu! Delicious on their own but when mixed in with the rest of the salad ingredients, heavenly to the last forkful. Our next stop, a walk South to the Galleries Lafayette and the Champs-Élysées, but renewed, refueled and refreshed by the wonderful food and friendly staff at Le Relais Gascon.

If you're ever wandering around hungry in Montmartre - this is your place. Visiting from Arizona, we had no clue where to eat and we were lucky enough to stumble across this little gem. I will never forget the taste of the onion soup - perfectly seasoned broth, the best quality gruyere and big croutons to soak it all up. I also ordered salmon with pasta but, by the time it came, I was very full from the soup and delicious bread. The meal was affordable and the service was excellent - They were quite patient with us even though we didn't speak a lick of French. You won't find anything like it in the states. I've made it a personal goal to travel back and eat here again!

I liked this place better than Le Cinq to be honest. Great soup, great salad, and great wine

AMAZING. My family and I were on vacation and chose LRG based on our individual dietary preferences and the reviews of other Yelpers. It did not disappoint! The duck confit and escargot are must-haves!

You got potatoes on my salad! You got salad on my potatoes! You're both right! It's the strange sounding combination that tastes perfect together. (However, in my experience it's not for everyone. I LOVED it. My husband not so much.) Potatoes atop salad sounded iffy in theory but in reality was oh so perfect. I couldn't gobble up my Salad Oceane fast enough. (The lettuce was topped with smoked salmon, avocado, tomatoes, apple, bay shrimp - I could have passed on that - and black olives, and perfectly dressed.) My husband had the same but I guess potatoes on top didn't do it for him. He was unimpressed and said he'd only give this place three stars. I was flabbergasted. It was SO DELICIOUS. In fact, I'd declare it my best meal in Paris. However, the atmosphere was far from perfect. While we did get a table right away (On a Friday night! In Montmartre! On the day of Bastille Day fireworks!), we shared a small hot room upstairs with a large very loud group. It was unbearable for some of my family. My kids shared the tartiflette - a pile of potatoes, bacon, and melted cheese. Basically French nachos. The owner was super nice and told me he knew the perfect place for us to watch fireworks with an unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower AND be a place where the kids could see - the seventh floor of the Hotel Terrasse. Apparently the restaurant owner goes there often, and gave us his card so we could show it to them at the hotel if they told us to leave. Unfortunately we barely made it through the front door before hotel security was on top of us, and the card didn't work any magic. I appreciated the attempt though.

Visit from September 2014 Located in Montmarte, this place has tons of seating, upstairs, downstairs, outside. We sat outside and endured smoke, but that's Paris. I ordered mom their prix fixe with an app (shrimp/avocado), entree (entrocote/steak), and dessert (chocolate mousse) and myself the salad du bearnaise with added chicken. Avocado with shrimp and what tasted like thousand island sauce. It was alright, shrimp was kinda fishy. Entrecote/steake with a healthy serving of their famous garlic fried potatoes. Mom said meat was a bit chewy but good nonetheless. She raved about the potatoes Salade du bearnais - came with bacon and bread topped with slices of goat cheese... I also added a chicken breast. It came topped with their lovely garlic fried potatoes. Digging my way around the salad - they certainly did not skimp on the bacon. Anywhere I've gone in the states will give you maybe two slices of bacon... I think this place must've given me half a pound!! I don't know what kind of dressing it was but probably some sort of ranch dressing. The chicken was a lot too underneath the mountain of bacon and potatoes. I would estimate this dish with the added chicken breast to have about 60g+ of protein to give you an idea. Gosh, I'm dreaming about this salad and those potatoes!!! If I choose one place to go back to eat in Paris, this is it. Cash only.

Le Relais Gascon was my first meal in Paris and one of my favorites! The portion sizes are huge so I would recommend ordering one less dish than you normally would. My family shared a salad, onion soup, duck confit and boeuf bourguignon. The onion soup was amazing and one of the best onion soups I've ever had. The salad was very filling and was topped off with delicious sliced potatoes instead of the normal croutons. The duck confit was delicious as well and came with even more sliced potatoes. The boeuf bourguignon was the least tasty of the three dishes because it wasn't as flavorful but it was still enjoyable. They don't accept credit cards which came as a shock to my family but thankfully we had cash.

Amazing neighborhood spot! The salads are unique and a must try. The steak is done very well and the staff helped identify must-try items. The wine list is great and had several options. This is a local favorite and the waitstaff is amazing. A must try in Montemarte!

Very friendly. Gave great recommendations and really helped us out even though we don't speak French.

I followed Lonely Planet's recommendation for a nice and reasonable meal and visited this lovely gem. Ordered one of their signature salads and have never been more glad to eat greens in my whole life, for the whole trip we had eat a lot of affordable fast food, so it was a nice change. The huge salads will leave you more than satisfied and there is a whole menu just dedicated to this speciality. The waitress was surprisingly kind but the host that sat us down laughed at our face as we didn't understand his directions in French to find our table upstairs. Oh well, what did we expect we were in Paris after all!

This is by far one of the best experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. Marco, the owner, made sure we had an amazing meal in the heart of Paris. Not only was the food delicious, but he started off our night by adding an extra table outside for us. Then, after there was water dripping on a few of us from the balcony above, Marco was super accommodating by bringing us some glasses of wine. The staff was amazingly nice and did everything they possibly could to make this dining experience enjoyable. The food was incredible, definitely get a salad if you come! 100% would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area!

Adorable restaurant with a lot of seating options compared to some other Montmartre restaurants. The French onion soup was very good and the beef bourguignon INCREDIBLE! It was serviced with sliced potatoes and of course a baguette. One of our favorite meals in Paris!

This place was great! First time visiting Paris with my wife and this place exceeded my expectations. I recommend the Salad de Chef dish. A salad topped with potatoes, chicken, cheese, and a bunch of other fresh toppings. Serving sizes are very generous as well.

Perfect place if you travel on a budget but you still want to have a nice meal and taste French dishes

Some good people watching, excellent value and well located for your return down the hill after a visit to Sacre Coeur. I visited after trying to cheekily squeeze into Le Potager du Pere Thierry which was packed at 11pm with 3 people still waiting for a table. Luckily Relais Gascon was a little quieter and we had no trouble walking right in. Service was fast and portions were huge. The highlight was of course the potatoes which are served as a side to many main dishes as well as a topping for the salads. The food itself is not much to write home about but for sheer value this place deserves an honourable mention. My boeuf bourguignon was generous and well cooked but I felt my wife's salad could have done with a little less mayo based dressing. Nevertheless it was a very filling and cheap meal in a great location. Outdoor seats had overhead heaters and it made for a very romantic evening.

Friendly staff. English is not a problem. Everything we've had here is really good from the Duck Confit to the Cassoulet to the amazing salads that come covered in house made chips. A must stop when we head up to Montmartre!

It's lunchtime in New York, seven hours away, and hi, I am writing a review for The Salad Place (how anyone who ever eat here will refer to it). I used to live on the other side of the hill and my walk to Le Relais Gascon would be the warm-up to The Salad. Get the Gascon, which like all "salads" (using word loosely) here, come in a ceramic flat-bottomed epic bowl: 1/3 crunchy greens tossed with dressing with 2/3 layer of garlic potatoes, interspersed with liver pâte, thin slices of smoked duck breast, gésiers (which I'll leave in French because it just sounds better). The garlic potatoes, traditionally fried in duck fat to a golden crisp (pommes sarlardaise, from the Southwest of France) is tied with aligot to what I think God intended us to do with potatoes-- yeah, here, they've not always been fried to my ideal crunch, and it'll get a bit soggy at the end due to the dressing, and ok, there may be like a scoop too much. But still? Sit on the terrace, order a glass of red if you want, stack a slice of garlic potato, then laitue (lettuce), then a duck-y thing on the tines of the fork-- and yes, there is still magic in Paris. Service is ok, no one's gonna be your best friend; if you sit outside, you may be serenaded or asked for change. Someone's had the confit here; I've pulled my hem over the unsnapped button on my jeans and had desserts a couple times, probably once with that person who got the confit. But, really. You know what to order. If you don't have a hill, there's the possibility that the elevators at Abbesses may be out of order. 200+ steps!

Le Relais Gascon was right around the corner from our little apartment in Montmartre. We did not get their signature dish, a "giant salad", topped with crispy garlic potatoes. It will have to wait for our return trip to Paris. What we did have: foie gras, steak with Bearnaise, cassoulet, a pot of house wine, lemon tart and an ice cream sundae. All amazing, huge, warm and savory. We sat upstairs in a cramped but adorably noisy room, and our server even spoke some English, which was welcomed at the end of a long week of my butchered French. A delicious and fun meal.
