Best Steakhouses in Paris

Last updated: October 21, 2026

Best For

• A world-ranked steak dinner: Clover Grill near the Louvre, or Anahi in the Marais
• Steak au poivre: Bistrot Paul Bert in the 11th
• Classic steak-frites: Le Relais de l'Entrecôte
• Wood-fired côte de bœuf: Robert et Louise in the Marais

Paris does steak differently from London or New York. Alongside a few grill restaurants built around dry-aged cuts, the city's best beef is often found in bistros serving steak au poivre, in wood-fired dining rooms, and in Argentine grills cooking over charcoal. Two Paris addresses, Clover Grill and Anahi, appear in the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants 2026 ranking.

This guide covers nine places for steak in Paris, with addresses, what to order, prices and booking tips.

How We Chose These Restaurants

This is an editorial selection, not a scientific or absolute ranking. We started from the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants 2026 list and added well-established bistros and grills that specialize in beef. We checked each address, menu and booking policy against recent listings and restaurant information. Restaurants appear by style, not in order of preference.

The guide is compiled from published sources, not from personal visits. Menus, prices and hours change often, especially for cuts priced by weight, so check before you go.

Paris Steakhouses at a Glance

Prices are per person, excluding drinks unless noted, from 2024–2026 listings and menus. Large cuts for sharing are often priced by weight. Service is included in French prices.

Ranked Among the World's Best

Clover Grill

Address: 6 Rue Bailleul, 75001 Paris

Opened in 2016 by Jean-François Piège and Élodie Piège, Clover Grill is the city's best-known steakhouse and appears in the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants 2026 ranking. Meat is cooked over charcoal or on a spit, and aging cabinets near the open kitchen display cuts from several origins, which have included Ireland, Normandy, Bavaria, Aberdeen Angus and Galicia. Sauces include pepper, béarnaise and Roquefort, and the spit-roasted pineapple is a signature dessert.

Price and booking: the 2026 Gault&Millau listing puts the indicative spend at about €74 per person, excluding drinks. Large cuts for sharing cost more. Reserve ahead, especially on weekends. Choose Clover Grill for a polished steak dinner in central Paris, a short walk from the Louvre.

Anahi

Address: 49 Rue Volta, 75003 Paris

Anahi occupies a former butcher's shop in the northern Marais, with old tiles and a painted ceiling. It became a cult Argentine restaurant in the late 1980s and, since 2021, its menu has carried the signature of Argentine-born chef Mauro Colagreco. Meats are grilled over charcoal in the Argentine tradition, with starters such as truffle and provolone empanadas. Anahi appears in the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants 2026 ranking.

Price and booking: expect more than €60 per person à la carte, plus wine. Anahi serves dinner only and runs late, so it works well after drinks in the Marais. The room is small and candlelit, so book ahead.

Classic French Steak

Bistrot Paul Bert

Address: 18 Rue Paul Bert, 75011 Paris

Bertrand Auboyneau took over this 11th arrondissement bistro in the 1990s, and it has become one of the city's reference addresses for French classics. The dish to order is the beef fillet au poivre with Sarawak pepper and hand-cut fries, often cited as the best steak au poivre in Paris. The wine list is long and worth reading, and the Grand Marnier soufflé and rum baba are popular desserts.

Price and booking: the fillet au poivre has been listed at about €48. Bistrot Paul Bert has been open Tuesday to Saturday, and booking by phone well ahead is recommended. Choose it for the classic Parisian steak experience.

Le Relais de l'Entrecôte

Address: 15 Rue Marbeuf, 75008 Paris (also 20 Rue Saint-Benoît and 101 Boulevard du Montparnasse, both 75006)

Since 1959, Le Relais de l'Entrecôte has served essentially one meal: a green salad with walnuts, followed by sliced steak in a secret sauce with thin fries. The steak comes in two servings, so a second portion arrives once you finish the first. The only question is how you want it cooked. Desserts, such as profiteroles, are ordered separately.

Price and booking: the set meal was listed at about €28.50 per person in 2024, with desserts extra. There are no reservations, and queues can be long, so arrive just before opening. Choose it for the most famous steak-frites in Paris.

Robert et Louise

Address: 64 Rue Vieille-du-Temple, 75003 Paris

Robert et Louise has been grilling meat over an open wood fire in the Marais for decades. The room has exposed beams and a fireplace where côte de bœuf, entrecôte, lamb and blood sausage cook directly over the flames. Steaks arrive without sauce, to be seasoned with sea salt and pepper at the table. The côte de bœuf for two is the order.

Price and booking: most mains are under €30. Book ahead and ask for a ground-floor table near the fire, since the lower room lacks the atmosphere. Published opening days vary between listings, so check before you go.

La Maison de l'Aubrac

Address: 37 Rue Marbeuf, 75008 Paris

Run by the Valette family, who raise cattle near Laguiole, La Maison de l'Aubrac is dedicated to Aubrac beef from the Aveyron region. The menu includes entrecôte, rump steak, tartare and aged cuts, alongside regional dishes such as aligot, a cheesy mashed potato. The restaurant has long been known for very late hours, which makes it a rare option for steak after midnight near the Champs-Élysées.

Practical details: prices are mid-range for the area, with aged cuts costing more. Late-night opening hours have changed over time, so confirm them before planning a late visit.

Les Fines Lames

Address: 35 Rue Lepic, 75018 Paris

Opened in 2018 by three childhood friends, Les Fines Lames is a small, meat-focused bistro on one of Montmartre's best-known streets. The beef comes from family butchers Nadaud-Delahaye, and the menu includes picanha, bavette, fillet and Angus entrecôte with homemade fries and sauces. Larger tables can share a côte de bœuf of about a kilo.

Practical details: prices are mid-range, and the dining room is small, so book ahead. It is a good choice for a steak dinner after visiting Montmartre, away from the busiest tourist restaurants.

Argentine Grills

Unico

Address: 15 Rue Paul Bert, 75011 Paris

Unico sits in a former butcher's shop that keeps its 1970s orange tiles, a few doors from Bistrot Paul Bert. It specializes in Argentine beef grilled over charcoal: bife de lomo (fillet), bavette and entrecôte, with chimichurri on the side. Starters include marrow bone cooked over charcoal. The wine list leans toward Argentina, which is still unusual in Paris.

Price and booking: listings put à la carte meals at about €40 to €60 per person, and a weekday lunch formula has been offered. A second Unico is at 10 Rue Amélie in the 7th. Reservations are recommended.

Paris–Buenos Aires

Address: 11 Rue Dupin, 75006 Paris

Argentine chef Fernando de Tomaso, also behind Biondi, opened Paris–Buenos Aires in 2024 near Le Bon Marché. Meats, fish and vegetables are cooked over a wood fire in the Argentine parrilla tradition, with French precision. The menu includes empanadas, churrasco and grilled meats from several origins, served in a room with exposed beams and a small terrace.

Practical details: prices are mid-range, with a lunch offer at a lower price point. Book ahead for dinner. Choose it for an Argentine grill dinner on the Left Bank.

Tips for Ordering Steak in Paris

• Know the cooking terms. Bleu is very rare, saignant is rare, à point is medium-rare to medium, and bien cuit is well done. Paris kitchens tend to cook rarer than in the US or UK.
• Know the cuts. Entrecôte is ribeye, faux-filet or contre-filet is sirloin, filet is tenderloin, bavette is flank, and côte de bœuf is a bone-in rib steak, usually for two.
• Watch prices by weight. Large cuts are often priced per 100 grams, so confirm the weight before ordering.
• Book ahead. Most restaurants here fill up, except Le Relais de l'Entrecôte, which does not take reservations.
• Check opening days. Several restaurants close on Sundays or Mondays, and some close for part of August.
