"If you think you've had great steaks, wait until you try these from an ex-butcher dare devotees of this beef-lover's delight in Montparnasse."

François Simon

"If you want to eat good meat in Paris, it's here. Even the two butcher 'stars' learnedly opposed by their fake enmity (Hugo Desnoyers and Yves -Marie Le Bourdonnec ) agree on this."

Mark Bittman

"Roasted, then sliced in the kitchen, served with the bone in, it came blood rare, beautifully marbled and delicious. The frites were hand cut, expertly fried and, as is so often the case in Paris (and throughout Europe), still made from decent potatoes; when you bite into them you're not just experiencing crunch but complex flavor."

Barbra Austin

"I had the thick pavé de rumsteck. Both were tender, juicy, well seasoned and encrusted with a wonderful sear. The fries are hand cut, freshly fried, served hot and crisp."

Anna Brones

"Le Severo is run by a former butcher, and it shows: this is one of the local hotspots for anything meat related (hint: make reservations), and everyone raves about the house fries, as well."

John Talbott

"Severo/Desnoyer’s beef is not for the faint of heart or wallet but it is the Gold Standard and the method of making the frites should be required reading for the chefs at the other 39,999 restos in the ville."

Emily Monaco

"His steaks are fantastically aged and definitely appeal to an American palate."
