Allard Paris Reviews
Fantastic place.
Second time we have been there and it does not disappoint. Duck is amazing, ambiance is classic and service perfect.
Sad update of our long term experience at Allard
Allard was a special place for us. We got engaged there in 2011 and we have been back every year when we vacation in Paris. Since Alaine Ducasse purchased it a few years ago it has been on a downhill trajectory such that since our last visit we swore
Absolutely classic and wonderful meal.
We brought a larger group (7 people), which is never easy to book or accommodate in Paris. We brought several children as well. The staff were gracious and set up a semi-private space for us to enjoy lunch. They were engaging with the children, and w
My group was looking forward to eating here.
Two of my group had been here before under previous ownership and remembered having a lovely time. The place could only seat us late. Even late, we were made to wait outside for quite a while. I found the service unprofessional. Both the appetizers a
Tired overpriced menu
Trading on its name and overpriced for the quality of the menu. The pate starter was uninspired and tasted like it came from the frozen food section. Ambience is noisy and cramped. Coming from Montreal we are used to better and at lower cost.
Too fast and not good enough!!
I have eaten at Allard four times and I will not eat there again. Within five minutes after our order was taken by a woman who seemed lost and before our wine arrived, they tried to serve my wife her starter. I told them to take it back and allow u
Allard
One of the best restaurants in Paris….established in 1932 and still popular to this very day…superb French cuisine and the servers were all exceptional!
Great food, but service and ambiance fall short
Excellent food for sure. Everything was delicious. However, the seating is overcrowded (we were practically under the bar). Upon arriving, we had to wait at the entrance to find out if our table was ready. Well, the dishwashers were all furiously was
Good traditional French fare!
Very old restaurant in the heart of the Quartier Latin, Allard is an institution. The place is packed tight (a bit too much), but the food and service justifies its reputation! It is just very good, and a good represntation of what French cuisine is
Refine Allard
This restaurant is classic French cusine to its finest. The staff is so refine and attentive. You enter right in front of the open kitchen and it makes feel home. Food was fantastic, the atmosphere was cozy and warm. Great place for dinner. Best
Overpriced and unremarkable
This is the first restaurant in Paris (and I have visited many) where I was prompted to tip 15% or 20% after presenting my credit card to the servers processing machine! The food is excellent, but the prices are double what comparable restaurants in

Allard is a perfect classic French bistro spot with intimate dining room: dark wood paneling, red leather banquette, tobacco-stained walls, and floral-printed wallpaper make every tête-à-tête look like a scene in a classic french movie. Come

Tough one as we enjoyed the traditional French ambiance and good quality food. Price is way too high for what you get and similar options available. 3 stars due to price 3 stars due to pushy wait staff. Felt like I had to leave a tip and order m
The service was atrocious.
I have been to Michelin restaurants and World's Best around the world and never found service so shameful. I was seated, no one came to my table (e.g., with a welcome, a menu/carte, drink request) and suddenly a kitchen attendee appeared and dum

We were excited to try Allard, especially for the duck with olives. Came in for a 9 PM reservation and was greeted by the friendly staff. Our server gave a great wine recommendation and we ordered the escargot, seared mushrooms, and the duck with oli
Food was amazing.
The roast chicken was one of the best I've ever had. Staff was attentive and courteous. The restaurant itself is very cute. I would recommend to anyone. Not sure what the bad reviews are for.
You want traditional French country cuisine? If you do,
You want traditional French country cuisine? If you do, this place is for you. This is a very traditional French restaurant in heart of St German-des-Pres. This restaurant was founded in 1932 and when you walk in you feel like walked back in time.
Lived up to the expectation
Visited on MARCH 2023. There's always high expectations when you visit a renowned chef's restaurant and Alain Ducasse is no joke. Allard's tradition and Ducasse's cuisine get together to satisfy the most demanding palates. The bread, the duck, the st
Great evening
Cosy restaurant in Paris. Food was tasty, service efficient. Good selection of wine. Glad that I was visiting this Parisian institution at last. Special mention for the choux farci, which was excellent
Exquisite french food !
I just came out of this restaurant and i have to say, it was exquisite!. the agneau rôtie and the filet de boeuf wer really really good as well as the crème brûlée and the Profiteroles. The recieved a warm welcome from the staff which it was quit
Wishing for more from alen
Unfortunately undercooked lobster and over ripe tomatoes, otherwise everything was fine and manager was wonderful!
So first let's do the positive things which was the service.
I've seen some reviews that really complain about the service but we actually had really good service. What I did not like was that the food was quite ordinary and ridiculously expensive. I had the duck with olives which was good, but just super plai
Not like it used to be - disappointing. Understaffed - not once did someone pour wine or water into our glasses.
I’ve eaten here many times but it has gone down hill. Poor service, nobody filled our wine or water once! They are too understaffed to offer a good experience. Although I love their profiteroles, we left to find dessert elsewhere. No offer to disc
Wonderful traditional Parisian dinner
My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at Allard on a Monday night. The food was perfectly prepared starting with the escargot, then the duck and olives for two, and finishing with the rum soaked cake. The food seemed right out of the 19th century with
Can’t wait to go back for the Duck!
A charming old French Bistro. Loved the duck stuffed with green olives, which is a specialty, I’m told. It was absolutely delicious & I’m not even a green olive fan. The wine pairing was perfect. The only reason I gave 4** was because it w
IF YOU CAN’T COOK ROAST CHICKEN, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!
I would have rated Allard a 1 star but we did have 2 nice entrees before the main dish disaster began. We ordered roast chicken for 2 and a side of potatoes. We were warned that that the chicken dish was hot, which was probably unnecessary, as the ch

I would have given this a 1 star but our entrees were quite good. However, thereafter things deteriorated quite quickly. The 90€ roast chicken disk for 2 was severely overcooked, as to be inedible. The chef, if one was in the kitchen that night, sh

Je trouve impossible de croire qu'Alan Ducasse ait quoi que ce soit à voir avec ce restaurant autre que de percevoir un chèque tous les mois. La nourriture moins que médiocre, mais le service est absolument horrible. Le "manager" était
Rude
Waitress was very brusque all through the meal and not just to us. When I refused to leave a tip she threw a strop. Very expensive.
Noisy restaurant with slow service
This is my third and last visit to the restaurant. We were welcomed when we arrived for a 9:00 pm dinner on a Friday night. There was only a short wait for a table, but the wait between getting the menu and ordering was at least 25 minutes. They see
Overpriced and unimaginative.
Claustrophobic, way overpriced, unappetising!!! Food was very ordinary and very few choices. The only good thing here was the wine list. We were recommended to have dinner here but after only having a share main course & very small cheese plate
A landmark restaurant made better. Insanely delicious.
This is one of the best old school French restaurants in Paris with phenomenal service and food. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. We have been going there for 20 years and were a bit disappointed when it was taken over by Alain Ducasse
Michellin prices standard food. Dissapointed.
We were here for their Valentines Menu: a four steps with four wines, EUR 180 per person. I believe it didn't worth it. The Maitre (?) was correct, but far from welcoming. We were seated in a table against a column and near other table, while there
Classic French
Great French bistro style restaurant. Efficient staff and fast service. Great atmosphere and good menu selection. We were there for lunch and will be back.
Horrible!
Don’t be fooled by the Alain Ducasse name. Our meal was terrible. First the waiter was unfriendly bordering on rude. Second and more importantly the food was really mediocre. Don’t go.
If I could give Allard minus stars, I would.
My husband and I have eaten there many times, but the last time we ate at Allard we both got horrible food poisoning that lasted for a week. When we called and talked to the manager of Allard, he dismissed our allegation, claiming no one else had got
This is an amazing and a must go traditional destination
This is an amazing and a must go traditional destination for their duck !! Highlight recommend and the intimate ambiance and lighting is a bonus !
This was our splurge night on our trip to Paris.
I cannot recommend the Duck with Olives enough (though I am a huge Olive fan). The bread they serve was delicious. We did order a bottle of wine and I was disappointed that a sommelier was not available to help with our selection. But the food was

I find it impossible to believe Alan Ducasse has anything to do with this restaurant other than collecting a check every month. The food less than mediocre, but the service is absolutely awful. The 'manager' was indifferent, and talked down to me
Avoid - over hyped and over priced
Oh dear, how sad. I am sure Allard was a fine establishment in its day, but the owners have clearly decided to 'sell out' and go for the tourist trade who will almost certainly never return. I guess it must be listed in some US travel guide because
Excellent, as always
Just went there. Every time I go is outstanding. We had the crab cakes the duck and cheese. The service and the attention was flawless, well done. I am from America and this is my 7th time in Allard, it never fails. Good Job !!
OMG! How????
Very poor indeed. Foolishly went with a friend’s recommendation even after reading the TA reviews. Whilst the food was acceptable (I struggled to type that) the eye watering cost of it and the wine made it an appalling experience! €60 for a caraf
A very Parisian evening.
..You know when Alain Ducasse puts his name to a restaurant it is going to be good and thankfully Allard did not disappoint. This turned out to be one of the best dinners in Paris and that is saying a lot as I went to some good places.On the Left Ban
Our 10th visit to Paris.
First time here. Very old restaurant with supposedly great food. Had the famous duck. Ordered it medium rare and some of it was so undercooked it wasn't edible. The cooked parts were nothing special. Very over priced at 95 Euros duck for two. The

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Allard Paris at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Allard Paris page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Allard Paris to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Allard Paris!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
