Good, polite service, but the food is somewhere between mediocre and terrible. This would have been a disappointing French meal in the United States, but it was an incredible letdown in Paris. Onion soup arrived cold and watery, with very little cheese or bread. Steak ordered medium rare arrived between medium well and well done. It was also badly under seasoned. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use the “bernaise” sauce for flavor because it had a funky taste and a cold, gloopy consistency like paste. The potatoes à la maison were soggy and cold (a consistent theme). Our whole party left most of the food on our plates; it just wasn’t worth the calories or the price at around €180 for a party of four with four drinks. Also, we picked this restaurant because it was highly rated for gluten free food and accommodations for celiac. Nearly all of the menu items contain gluten, which can only be avoided by holding the sauce (ie the flavor) or the bread. The fried potatoes were gluten free, but mediocre as mentioned. So yes, you can technically get a gluten free meal, but given our experience, I’d recommend celiac/GF clientele (or anyone with a palate) steer clear.

Fast & friendly servers, we had two waiters and both were very helpful with accommodating my mum's dairy intolerance & celiac requirements. Plus the best entrecote I've ever had!

We had a great visit with my family. Our entire party enjoyed our meal and especially the wonderful service. They were able to accommodate my daughter’s need to be gluten free (celiac) and it was much appreciated.

I visited Bistrot Richelieu for dinner during a recent trip to Paris; my overall experience was a mixed bag. The interior was fairly nice and comfortable, giving a more relaxed, casual vibe, which I liked. The allergen knowledge was good. I was given a laminated card which showed the allergens in their dishes. My server was also friendly and had good knowledge of which dishes could and could not be made gluten-free, including those from the specials, which were not listed on the card. Gluten-Free options were limited, but I felt safe eating here nonetheless. For my food, I went for the Chicken Supreme with Ratatouille. My food was pretty good; the chicken had nice flavours and went well with the ratatouille. A small part of the chicken was slightly chewy, and I did find the ratatouille to get boring after a while, as it was mainly courgette. I would have preferred maybe half the ratatouille and maybe another side dish with potatoes. Pricing was similar to anywhere else in the city, which isn’t a cheap city for sure. I had a Limoncello Spritz to drink; they did bring the drinks after the food, and I would have liked them at the same time, but this wasn’t a big deal. It was made well and tasted good after stirring. Overall, I would return, mainly due to the quality of drinks and service, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.
