L’escalier - Paris

The meal was very pleasant and very good. the service a little long, the music (latine, Cuban, reggae) not very related to the spirit of the resto and the chairs are very uncomfortable with a bar at the back of the back

Lovely people. Fast service, atmosphere was great, decor was great, lovely food. Lots of options. Excellent choice of wine.

I 've eaten here three times till now. Small and with flair, however... Portions are too small considering prices. The food is okay, but not worth the amount of money they ask. They seem to think they have very special gourmet food, but in truth the food is quite average and the area offers many better alternatives for a fairer price. As an example, you will get the same salad with your appetizer and your main course (exactly the same) and the salad is basically just lettuce/rocket. Not creative. They also use the salad to fill up your plate and inflate your meal size for your eyes. Again, portions and price are not fair. In the summer guests outside keep the whole neigbourhood awake at night due to the echo in the streets. (I visit an appartment about 150m away from the restaurant) and there is no attempt made to quiet guests down after 22:00, making L 'Escalier despised by the people living here for noise pollution from Spring to Autumn. I don 't mean the guests dining and conversing in a regular voice. I mean the chatting smokers with a glass of alcohol basically shouting at each other like they 're alone in the world. The service is friendly, the food is not bad and its a clean restaurant. But it is not a secret tip . I 'd expect the ingedient named as the main component of the meal to be the largest part of the meal. Not the case. You 're getting a mountain of green salad and little pieces of the expensive ingredient. It seems to be a Tourist Trap for Suckers under current managment.

This restaurant/bar is one of the best in the neighborhood. Ask raphael, his such a cheerful presence.

We have a really nice evening in this Restaurant. Nice Food and friendly Staff. The recommended Wine was delicious.
