Café Le Malakoff

Astuce: prendre le croque Monsieur (bon prix et très bon).
Très bel endroit, chic avec une vue imprenable sur la tour Eiffel et le Trocadero.
Ce n’est pas donné comme restaurant, mais si l’on connaît les astuces on peut manger dans ce restaurant sans se ruiner. Demandez la carte des snacks (cartes qu’ils né donnent pas directement) et vous aurez des sandwiches, omelettes et croques monsieur à un bon prix et de très bonne qualité.
Pourquoi trois étoiles? Simplement car, prenant quelque chose de moins cher, je suis un client moins intéressant. Il me faut demander plusieurs fois pour avoir l’attention d’un serveur. Décevant.
Mais sinon très bonne adresse si l’on connaît les astuces!

Probably the first resto in Paris that I came back twice. The service is perfect. The food is great and price is alright considering you’re in Paris

I just came in during my break between runway shows during Paris Fashion Week for a quick bite in the evening. The service was really friendly, almost too friendly, as two of the waiters asked me for my phone number, assuming I was a tourist. It made me feel a bit uncomfortable because all I wanted was to eat my vegetable soup. My overall experience was positive, but I probably would not return because the restaurant is quite touristy.

J’ai reçu meilleur service à McDo. Les serveurs sont très arrogants et condescendants. La nourriture c’est pas bonne. Très simple por le prix. Je né reviendrai jamais.

Je suis allé au Malakoff après avoir visité le Musée des arts asiatiques tout proche, pour boire un verre.
Surpris étonnamment des prix modérés pour le quartier. Cela me rabiboche avec Paris, qui n’est pas donnée :
Ambiance conviviale et serveur aimables ! (qui a dit que les serveurs faisaient toujours la tête? :))

Brasserie parisienne typique dans le quartier du Trocadéro.
Nous avons débarqué à 7 à 23h en cherchant un lieu pour dîner. Nous avons été très bien accueilli. Le serveur était prévenant malgré l’heure tardive. L’attente pour être servis était convenable.
En ce qui concerne les plats, mentions spéciales aux salades, très copieuses…

Bön café pour prendre un verre au Trocadéro. Service attentif. Terrasse chauffée, wifi gratuit avec consommation. Prix un peu élevés.

Café Le Malakoff,
This Café is a typical tourist café set in the Trocadero area, right by the metro stop. My wife and I stopped in as a way to start our day. The waiters spoke several language which is always handy and we were promptly seated. My wife ordered the egg topped burger while I ordered the french onion soup. Both meals were excellent, the atmosphere is a warm and inviting location and you can see the eiffel tower in the background. The price is typical of what you would expect at a tourist café and overall I would recommend this place if your in the area.

Yes, it’s in a super touristy location, but I have eaten here multiple times and have always been impressed with the quality of food! Pricey but delicious. Convenient location. Fun atmosphere. Very yummy food and drinks! Have had a few very memorable meals here!!!

The food was ok !!! But the host of the restaurant did it all, we had a great personality, he was super nice to my daughter, our waiter was nice too, he spoke English and Spanish !! That is great !!! We need it to use the bathroom and that is the reason we came to the restaurant, bathrooms are clean. Now back to the Eiffel Tower to continue out day.
There is wifi too!!! That it’s great I was able to call home using skype :)

This place was A-​OK! I’m giving it 3 ½ stars — oh Unilocal,where is that half star?
We needed to eat quickly so we could get to our theatre performance nearby. We informed the maître d’ and our service was impeccable! A solid four star experience on service.
I ordered the salad Malakoff and it had hearts of palm crab and shrimp and it was just a little meager. And very fishy. But my companions enjoyed a steak, the veal, and the fish. All were moderately pleased. We washed it down with a Big bottle of Rose!
I have to give the dessert credit, we ordered the raspberry tart and it was one of my favorite desserts so far in Paris– a beautiful buttery crust completely covered with the freshest most perfect raspberries! Yum!
What made this less than four stars for me was the flavor of my salad– it was somehow lacking… and the fact that we ate inside and it was boiling hot and I was just miserably sweaty and uncomfortable the whole time. To give them credit, our service was impeccable and it was one of the first hot days this year. So give them a chance!

Absolute garbage. As a native New Yorker, I should have known better than to eat at a restaurant right by a huge tourist attraction. But it was cold and I was hungry. Bad choice regardless. I would have been happier starving that night.
French restaurants typically can get away with being rude and expensive because they either have really good/​quick service and/​or really good food. This place has none of the above. Terrible service, terrible attitude from the wait staff, terribly overpriced for terrible food. My sirloin was definitely not sirloin. Tasted more like chuck. Pretty much the only redeeming part of my dinner here was that the fries and mustard were pretty good.
pass.

Definitely touristy, but what the hell, I was a tourist, so I loved it!
We stumbled upon Café Le Malakoff after roaming around Trocadéro one afternoon. The area is gorgeous — amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. We sat outside and enjoyed Cappuccinos and Crème Brûlée — oh so Parisian!
The service, unfortunately, was less than par; our waiter took forever — forever to give us menus, forever to take our order, and FOREVER to bring us the check. We weren’t in a rush, so we just made the best of it. Definitely a great place to people watch.

10 € la pinte.
Tout est dit.
Service ok, pour se prix la, je m’attendais à ce que le serveur me fasse la danse du ventre. Mais non, j’ai juste eu des chips racies.

Bah, cela vaut surtout pour l’emplacement, devant la tour Eiffel, le reste n’a rien d’extraordinaire. Le petit point positif, juste à côté du métro, le point négatif: c’est bruyant.

Typical overpriced bland tasting tourist restaurant that somehow got recommended by Tripadvisor and our tourist bus driver. My ~7euro Cappuccino did not taste 2X better than the other cappuccino’s I’ve had, but it was still good. The pasta was so boring/​tasteless and tasted comparable to a microwave pasta meal. I have to give it props for actually having friendly, helpful service though! Close to the Eiffel so I guess that’s why everybody flocks here.

We did we what say we will never do which is let ourselves get so hungry that we just settle on the closest place. We had walked all along the Champs Elysees and headed to the Eiffel tower. We popped into the place our concierge had recommended and it was nothing like what we wanted – we wanted a bistro. So we walked out and looked at the menu here – looked more like what we wanted. It’s what I would call typical touristy French restaurant. Food was absolutely fine and filled our bellies but service was slow and uppity and food was mediocre. I will say the food portions seemed more American than French – too big.

Service désagréable et lent… Je n’ai rien à dire de plus! Ah si, je né suis pas une touriste donc forcement, moi bien reçue!
Essayez les autres bars/​brasseries à côté si vous voulez profiter du cadre de la place du Trocadéro!

Les deux étoiles sont vraiment pour le cadre privilégié qu’offre cette place du Trocadéro!
En revanche, l’attitude exécrable et hautaine des serveurs nous rappellent ô combien on peut détester ces cafés «so parisian»! En effet, si nous né sommes pas des Shakespeare native speaker ou tout autre touriste que notre chère Capitale accueille chaque année, vous serez reléguer au rang de clients de seconde classe… Déplorable!
À y aller vraiment si vous n’avez pas le choix!

Typical French service uptight but he did not complain. The good was decent but the people watching was a plus.

Close to Le Tour Eiffel, Café’ le Malakoff is a great place to grab lunch. The Quiche was excellent and my friends enjoyed their sandwiches. I tried out my French and the waiter was very friendly. A nice place to people watch while eating your lunch.

As other reviews note, this place is a bit touristy… but a fun and decent choice.
Right on the Trocadero and very close to the Eiffel Tower, this place is busy nearly all the time.
Yes, it is a little on the pricey side, but you come to expect this in a major tourist part of the city.
That said, we find the food here quite good. My personal fave is the Croque Madame con frites. What is a croque madame, you may ask. Well, think of a grilled cheese sandwich with a slice of ham and topped with a fried egg. Except soo much better! Perfect after a long, overnight flight.
The coffee is exceptional — I like their café crème served with hot, frothy milk on the side so I can mix the right amount to my taste.
As for the service — it was good. The waiters speak English, but be polite and ask them to. Don’t just assume they could or should. They especially enjoy it if you try out your French. Even if it is not so good. They do appreciate the gesture.
Enjoy the sights at this busy place as you sip on a coffee and watch the people go by.

You can *easily* do much worse than Le Malakoff in Paris (especially in touristy areas like the Trodacero). This place was above average in many important areas; the staff speaks english, they can improvise menu items, the food tastes good.
My recommendations:
* Choose one of the three tiers of prix fixe menus. They are a good value and fill you up.
* The house wines aren’t a bad deal at around 10EUR for 500ml.

Das Café befindet sich unweit des Eiffelturms — die Lage könnte besser nicht sein. Die Preise für die angebotenen Gerichte sind zwar etwas höher, als man erwartet, doch dafür bekommt man wirklich etwas geboten. 5 Sterne!

The Malakoff is a correct place. Clean and you’ve got a beautiful sight just in front of Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower. The food is correct, but a little bit expensive; you’ve gotta pay the place, not the waiters. If you want to discover a real french restaurant, this is not the real place, they are lot of tourists.
Cocktail: 11EUR
Steak, egg with french fries: 15,50EUR
Cheeseburger: 17EUR

Pour touristes
Attrape nigaud. Serveurs désagréables au possible. Le rapport qualité-​prix n’y est pas. Ils justifient leur prix grâce à leur situation géographique. Mais ce café n’est pas recommandable. L’essentiel de la clientèle est touristique. Ils ont perdu la notion du «client» dans ce café.

je né passé que des bon moments dans cet endroit! en hiver la terrasse est bien chauffée et l“été bien ensoleillé!! Idéal pour un verre entre ami, la cuisine étant très basique… il est vrai que le service est variable mais le cadre et l’emplacement compensent

This place is terrible, or at least the servers are quite bad on a Saturday, no less. They’re rude, and think that, just based on their location, they can be arrogant. Café Trocadero right across the street is a way better option, as everyone’s not only more friendly, but Trocadero has glass dividers up so general foot traffic is separated from the patrons. The server I had here basically got into a fight with me about ordering wine at 10:30pm, telling me there’s a minimum to credit card transactions, then tried to rip me off when returning the change — he owed me 8 €, and returned 1.80 €, hoping I was dumb enough to not be able to add.
Pathetic — do yourself a favor and walk directly across the street to Café Trocadero

It’s a total tourist trap located right at the Trodacero but I don’t care. We stopped in one night after watching the Eiffel Tower lights and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food.
The drinks are pricey — about 5 € each for a coke light or a small beer — but it seems to be like that everywhere anyway.
They have a set menu for 15 € — appetizer, entrée and dessert — that my sister ordered. Aside from the entrée having a smaller piece of steak (than expected) with frites, it was a good deal overall and she still got full off it.
I shared the foie gras appetizer with husband, ordered the daily quiche special (mushroom), and husband ordered the fish special — YUM YUM and YUM!
Overall good meal that wasn’t too pricey. Stick to the daily specials to save money. Plus, it’s what they’re highlighting for the day, so you know it won’t taste like crap.

While walking home the other night, it started to rain so hard I had to duck in for cover. I ended up waiting out the rain at Café Le Malakoff.
Located directly on the Trocadero, I have walked by this place hundreds of times, but have never stopped in. It always came off as a touristy spot because of its location and that its always busy.
So… onto the meal. I had my usual over priced beer (think it was like 8.90 for a 50cl 1664). I followed that up with an entercote frites. I am a guy that loves the grizzle on steak, but when there are portions that can not even be chewed — lets me know there is something not right.
basically it was not the quality I was expecting for the price (22 — 24 €). The service wasn’t great either.
I’m still giving it 3 stars because the fries were good, the location is good, the bernaise sauce was good and I think the steak might have been a lot better if I had a diff cut. Because the edible portion of the steak was actually quite well.
Anyways, I’m sure there are better options around Trocadero.

Un lieu touristique … Manger un petit plat en terrasse ou mieux à l’intérieur baie vitrée ouverte avec vue sur Trocadéro et tour Eiffel c’est plutôt sympa.
La carte est commune, les plats corrects et le service très variable suivant les jours !

Mon repère
Envie de réviser mes cours au soleil? RDV habituel avec mon meilleur ami? Un petit déjeuner tranquille? Un petit coup de blues? Envie de voir du monde? J’ai trouvé mon refuge. C’est bête à dire, mais oui. Ici, pas de différence, on est servi pareil jeunes ou âgés, le manager me salue tjrs (reconnaît donc sa clientèle), les serveurs sont souriants et méritent bien les pourboires, qqes ‘dinosaures’ de serveurs aiment bien venir discuter 2 minutes avec nous, pas de snob dans les parages, et la station de métro à deux pas (au sens propre !) de la station Trocadéro. La cuisine, elle, reste correcte et souvent copieuse, prix abordables. Mon quartier, et donc le Malakoff mon café préféré.

Grand et à côté du Trocadéro
Voilà qu’attendant les scintillements de la Tour Eiffel à heure fixe (20h pour mon cas), j’ai eu une fringale juste après ! Me trouvant à côté du palais de Chaillot, j’ai découvert cette brasserie sur la Place du Trocadéro ! Très vaste, cet endroit est chaleureux par la décoration et par l’acceuil. Les plats servis sont copieux, à des prix normaux pour Paris, par contre les desserts sont un peu trop chers pour ce qu’ils sont. Les vins sont fameux et à des prix raisonnables. Vous êtes assez vite servis et une terrasse vous accueille été comme hiver grâce à leurs calorifères installés. Vous êtes à deux pas de la station de Métro Trocadéro et des taxis sont à proximité !

Moment très agréable passé sur la terrasse du Malakoff fin octobre, il faisait beau mais frais, et les parasols chauffants nous ont permis d’admirer la vue sur la place du Trocadéro. Les plats étaient très corrects, nous avons beaucoup apprécié le flan au caramel fait maison. Nous avons eu un service rapide, et un serveur plaisant.

Seul avantage du Malakoff: il est bien situé, il a une grande terrasse et offre une belle vue sur la place du Trocadéro. Mais à part ça, c’est une catastrophe. Non seulement c’est un café de touristes, mais c’est cher, les serveurs sont désagréables et on y mange pas spécialement bien. Hier j’ai fait visiter Paris à des amis étrangers et afin de se reposer un peu après avoir fait les traditionnelles photo de la Tour Eiffel au Trocadéro, on a pris un café au Malakoff. Biensûr, comme il faisait très beau, il n’y avait pas une seule place sur la terrasse et quand par hasard une table s’est libérée juste devant nous, au moment de s’asseoir, on a failli se faire étrangler par un groupe de 4 asiatiques qui l’avaient déjà attendu. Bön ben tant pis: on s’est assis a l’intérieur. Ensuite et bien ensuite rien car on a attendu trèeees longtemps avant d’être servies. Quasiment 45min avant d’avoir la carte et nos boissons sont arrivées encore une quart d’heure après. La salade de mon amie était tout à fait banale et l’addition salée. Je n’y retournerai sûrement pas!
