MELT

🥩If you LOVE meat, this is THE place. Food was perfect. The meat was as soft as butter, and the smell of it could kill you before your food arrives😂 I got a brisket bun. It was a huge amount of meat with some special onion and cucumber pickles, and a super delicious barbecue sauce. The staff were great. Friendly, polite and responsible (and what do you want more?) The cook was giving away meat sometimes to the people waiting on the line. ⏱️I got there at 8:30 pm and I had o stand in a line for around 20 mins. I propose not to go later because when I was leaving lots of the items were not available anymore. Give it a go for sure, and as they say: “SMOKE MEAT EVERYDAY”

Lively atmosphere and excellent smoked meats. MELT offers a dynamic, high-energy dining experience — not ideal for a quiet dinner, but perfect if you enjoy a bustling, informal setting. The menu focuses on smoked meats, and the quality does not disappoint: juicy, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. We tried several cuts, all of which were perfectly cooked and generously portioned. Service was friendly and welcoming, though we had to wait quite a long time for our food. That said, the team made up for it by offering us complimentary house liqueurs at the end, which was a thoughtful gesture and much appreciated. A great spot for meat lovers and those looking for a casual, American-style BBQ experience in Paris. Be prepared for some noise and a bit of a wait, but the food is worth it.

We went for a proteïne evening (after a day that was in fact a work out) and had seen this restaurant on insta. And it was exactly as we thought it would be. The staf was really friendly and the meat was really excellent. It was however, what we call in Netherland (not Netherlands, that was more than a century ago) a “vreetschuur”, translated maybe something like a gorge barn. However, as the people are super friendly and are very helpful, we took our time and enjoyed our evening. The beef rib was excellent: (he had to ask for three times if we wanted a piece of €56,-: yes we do!), the brisket good. Take the magic mushrooms. They were excellent. Even the carrot cake as a desert was perfect. We had to walk it off for 45 minutes, but had a feast meal.

An absolute gem! The beef cheek was incredibly tender and literally melts in your mouth. The spare ribs were just as impressive—juicy, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone tender. Don’t miss the corn bread and magic mushrooms—both were out of this world and left us wanting more. The service was warm and welcoming, with special kudos to the cashier, who truly rocked and made the experience even more memorable. A perfect final meal to end our holiday in France. Highly recommended!

The food is amazing! Definitely recommend getting a bit of everything. We got the brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs, jerked chicken, Caesar salad with smoked chicken, magic mushroom, and carrot cake. It’s best to share the food! And everything was good. The brisket was magical and the mushrooms were very flavorful too. Also, we ended with 1 slice of carrot cake, which was amazing. Nice and moisted and not too sweet.

If you’re searching for the ultimate meat experience, Melt is it. I had the best meat of my life here,hands down. The brisket is pure heaven, melt-in-your-mouth perfection that sets a new standard for flavor and tenderness. Every meat cut I tried was a flawless 10/10, showcasing incredible skill and quality. If you’re a carnivore, Melt is a must-visit destination that will leave you speechless and satisfied. Fix the fly issue and it’s an easy 5 star

I had high hopes for this restaurant having enjoyed US BBQ at Franklin, Little Miss BBQ and Pecan Lodge. I believed these guys had learned from some of the US masters, maybe I had a bad batch or the attention to meat prep here has been diluted with the growth of this chain. The service here was great, I can’t fault it, as was the corn bread; the meat however was not. The brisket was definitely not smoked for 15 hours as claimed (unless it had stalled in the middle of the cook). The ribs were also tough - not what you want from ribs, certainly not at this price point! Such a shame, I was really looking forward to eating here during my short stay in Paris.

We really enjoyed a great meal here. The meats were very tender and flavourful. Smashed potato was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Love the friendly service. The queue was not bad and well worth the wait.

So delicious!!! We had tri tip, brisket, and beef rib and for sides smashed potatoes and beans! We absolutely loved the beef rib and brisket ... they were so tender that it just MELTed oh, also I really enjoyed the Paloma Service was great! Friendly staff ... I know tip isn't as customary in France as it is in US but we just had to because it was well deserved! Ambiance was lively! The place was super packed even at 9:00 pm on Wednesday. There was a very short wait for when we got there but well worth the wait for such delicious food!

We were craving BBQ when we got to Paris and were surprised to see this place close to our hotel (the restaurant has connections to Pecan Lodge in Dallas). The place is pretty small inside but we were able to get a table quickly. We ordered a variety of items off of the menu and everything tasted fine although the meats were a bit dry. Keep in mind that certain meats sell out pretty quickly and get taken off the menu throughout the day. Overall, this place hit the spot - the service deserves a shout out too!

I can see where Melt gets its name--the food melted in my mouth! I was truly surprised to find such excellent BBQ in France. The smash chili cheese was our favorite, and I enjoyed the brisket immensely. My husband loved the half smoked chicken. It's a very busy place where you order at the counter, take a number, and then find a seat while they bring the food to you. Paying the bill at the end via the app makes it easy to split costs in a group. Highly recommend!

Melt has hands down the best Texas bbq in Paris. The meat is always well smoked and falls right off the bone. The bbq sauce is tangy and delicious and the chili cheese fries are a better quality take on the usual dish with chili made with bbq brisket. The service is pretty good, though you do have to order at the counter before finding a place to sit. The vibes of the restaurant are exactly what you would expect from a bbq restaurant, rustic and casual.

We LOVED this restaurant!!!!!!!!!! My boyfriend is from the south and he said they were the best ribs he ever had. We also loved the smashed potatoes. Really good positive energy here. Dynamite.

What's Melt? Well, it's a Texas BBQ that's as big as a computer from the 1980s, where masterful meats are slowly smoked (up to 15 hours) under the attuned nostrils of owners Jean and the two Pauls, going on to tantalize XXL appetites as the meat truly falls right off the bone. In the dining room decorated with hanging plants and vintage light wood tables and chairs, people devour the tender meats (pork ribs, beef ribs, pulled pork, the legendary brisket) with their bare hands. And for those who might be tired these great classics, the house has its specials as well. The night we went an incredible beef picanha (or rump) made an appearance, smoked for two hours and still incredibly bloody. To go with it, there's a creamy Mexican salad of corn, avocado, feta, cilantro and lime, and an opulent corn bread, followed by a perfect dark chocolate and pecan cookie for dessert

No lie one of my favorite places to eat in Paris. When ya boy is feeling nostalgic for some dank bbq I go here! The lunch special is a good deal! I could eat here every day! Tri tip , brisket and pulled pork are some of my favorites! Good quality meat!

I don't know how many people reviewing this place have actually had "Texas BBQ" in Texas, but I have driven many miles for the cause. My guy tells me that burnt ends were as good as Pecan Lodge in Dallas, but we were there at 9pm on a Friday, which is unheard of in Texas. He's excited to try the brisket next time. As a vegetarian, this place is way better than anywhere in Texas. There are a load of sides that don't have bacon mixed in *cough, Pecan Lodge mac n' cheese, cough* Cauliflower puffs sound gross but are really tasty, and the fries and slaw plus potato salad means a whole veggie meal. Plus there's wine, which is very nice! They also have Dr Pepper, which was my test for just how Texan this place was. Service was friendly, even to a vegetarian, which has gotten me the stinkeye in Lockhart...

Texas BBQ done CORRECT! Fine, let's start by framing this with a bit of history, who doesn't love history? I've been in Paris for 10 years. When I first arrived I was starved for BBQ and honestly the only place you could get a plate of bbq'd meat was at Planet Hollywood, yes, I know, sad. Fast forward six years and you had a place called Blue's BBQ that offered up great BBQ but alas they had a poor location and eventually closed a few months ago. Meanwhile you also had a restaurant called Beast open and if you've been there, you know the place, while serving 'ok' bbq, fails in their sides dishes, beer selection, technique for ordering and finally fails in presentation of the food itself. Enter the newest contender, Melt. I had a chance to eat there last night with four friends and it was fantastic. When you arrive, you walk to the counter and place an order. Hanging on the wall are the different meats, sides and drinks. The star of the show at Melt is 100% their beef brisket which is claimed to be cooked for 15 hours. For us, we all ordered the same thing, beef brisket sandwiches, hot links, slaw and roasted corn on the cob. Unlike the aforementioned beast, the plate arrived with excellent presentation. The food itself was delicious. The meat on the sandwich was served in a large portion size and accompanied with pickled onions, pickle slices and jalepenos. We had both wine and beer and were definitely not disappointed. The beer they offered was called Pelican and was light and refreshing. Wine was of the Cote de Rhone variety and was a great match for the smokey bbq. Finally we had a chance to meet Jeff, the man from Texas who is responsible for the delicious smoked brisket. Great guy with a passion for BBQ and will to talk shop when he had a free moment. Hands down this is the best BBQ you will find in Paris France, no question.

Great barbecue in Paris with amazing sauce. Not much of a wait if you come around opening and service is fast. I had the beef brisket on a roll and didn't need to add extra sauce..the meat was just like back home. Try the lemon curd dessert and the cauliflower parmesan balls!

Paris, France meets Paris, Texas (or Dallas or Austin or etc) just as polite as a Texan. Only difference is in the strength of the Euro over the USD. But same price, same food.

As a Texan I can say that this BBQ is very good. The meat is some of the best bbq meat I've had but where it lacks is all the fixins (sides) but I think the sides are a good blend of French and Texan cuisine and it more boils down to preference. The brisket sandwich was amazing and reminded a Texan that's far from home what it's like to be back in Austin or Dallas eating some good meat with a cold drink (in this case Lone Star (!!)) to wash it all down. I'm giving it four stars because the inside was lacking some decoration and they didn't have any music (would have been nice to hear some Willie Nelson or some other country tunes). I fully expect this place will be a 5 star experience in a year or two and I'm looking forward to my return.

THE perfect restaurant if you want to enjoy good quality and perfectly cooked bbq meats! I had the brisket and it was melting in my mouth! I really recommend this amazing place! The service was great as well. The waiters were all really nice. When we arrived at the restaurant, it was already packed with people and we had to wait some time before we could get a table but you don't need to worry about waiting because you can give your name and then go chill and get a drink at a bar next to the restaurant and then they'll come get you as soon as a table is available. What's even greater is that the guys at the restaurant know the bar's owner so if you haven't finished your drink when they come get you, that's ok because you can easily take your drink with you! Overalls, an incredible dining experience and there's no doubt that I'll be back soon!

Awesomeeeee my boy jeff from Dallas Tx outchea doing special things. Food was awesome. Customer service was perfect.

Authentic BBQ; brisket was as good as it gets (even vs. US competition); worth the trip.

Amazing bbq! Super cute decor and very friendly service. Will be back again before we head back to Texas. My favorite part was the brisket chili cheese fries. Plan to try the ribs on our next trip. My husband loved the pulled pork! Overall wonderful experience.

Fork tender brisket and 5 star service for a party of three with very rusty French and teenager in tow. Cole slaw game needs works but zucchini fritters were . Lime zest on the peach crumble whipped topping was genius.

The food was delicious and the service was amazing!!! My only issue was they ran out of cornbread and chicken by the time we arrived. The flavor was magnificent

Albeit the only Texas style BBQ place I know in Paris, it's definitely, positively awesome! Brisket is soo juicy, pork ribs tasty etc etc. Portions are great and so is the service! Do come early as cuts run out and there is always a queue... worth every minute of the wait though!

Found this restaurant while walking through Paris. As a Texan I can say this is real B-B-Q. Great customer service!

Spot on BBQ! I would favorably compare the Brisket and sauce to highly acclaimed Smoque BBQ in Chicago. Pickled onions, slaw and fries very good as well. Out of this world corn bread. Moist in the middle, crunchy and sweet on top. Per the gentleman at the counter the beef is brought in from the states, based on my experience in Europe I would agree.! If the pit master is on site stop and say hello. Very friendly and attentive staff. Melt receives my highest recommendation! Thank you for a wonderful meal.

We visited for the first time last night and our experience was a great one. The meat was oh so tender and seasoned nicely. The BBQ sauce that comes with it was delicious. We ordered the brisket and smaller portion of the beef bone, fries and pistachio shakes (YUM!). It met expectations and ALL the staff were great. We'll be returning.

So if you like meat, it's the place to go. The concept is very funny because it's canteen style. You eat on a tray, and share tables with people. Honestly, it's agreeable, but personally, this is not my favorite. Come here with a lot of friends instead!
