Nice outdoor and indoor seating available.

Service was decent and staff was a bit rude.

They bought free bread which was nice. The arrabiata pasta was a bit dry and could've used more sauce. I liked that it came with a cup of Parmesan cheese. The chicken sandwich was very bland with no seasoning whatsoever.

Definitely overpriced as it's near the Eiffel Tower and not the best

Just ok. This was the first place we stopped. That's what CC we get for being lazy!!! Ughhhh 

Steak was no seasoned at all. You can't pull that crap with a lil Sirlon steak. Nawwww.

The steak we ordered as part of the combo was actually cooked well.   They didn't ask how we wanted it cooked but came out perfectly.  The escargot was definitely juicy.  The carbonara pasta was ok and you can't really go wrong with the child nuggets/fries.  
The service is what stood out.  The server was able to remember four people's order plus the additional request.  Nothing was written down.  And it came out correctly!   
The restaurant itself was decorated enough for a touristy restaurant.  We were two minutes walking distance from the Eiffel tower.

Disturbing Experience: Racial Abuse, Poor Service & No Response
Disturbing Experience: Racial Abuse, Poor Service & No Response

We visited Le Malakoff Brasserie (Trocadéro, Paris) on 18th April 2025 with our little one, expecting a pleasant evening. Instead, we were met with dismissive service, neglect, and open hostility.

Our daughter's dessert (part of a 3-course menu) never arrived. Despite repeated attempts to get help, the staff ignored us for over three hours. At 11 p.m., I raised this while paying. Shockingly, the waiter blamed us, then made blatantly racist comments: "Are you Indian? You are very bad people. You always do it like this." He threw the receipt on the table and created an aggressive scene that frightened my family. Another waiter made a rude gesture as we were leaving. When we complained to manager, to his credit he apologised on waiter's behalf but seems helpless against these bullies, also the damage was done.

I submitted a formal written complaint immediately after this distressing experience. It's now been weeks with no response, no apology, and no accountability from the restaurant.

This wasn't just poor service -- it was racial abuse and emotional intimidation. Tourists, especially from Asian or minority backgrounds, deserve to feel safe and respected. Sadly, this restaurant failed on every count.

I came here because cafe kleber was full, it should have been a warning there was only like 4 other tables full, the salad was good, except the cucumbers-soft, soggy and old, I ordered the beef and fries, the beef had this overwhelming odor that was just too much, I tried to eat it but the meat was extremely chewy and it would not dissolve, I tried to eat some of it but just putting the fork with a piece of steak close to my mouth was torture, even the fries smelled like old oil, worst cream brûlée I have ever tasted, the only thing that was edible was the salad and the bread, oh and the Evian water that came in a glass bottle that was like 16-20oz was delicious, it should be for the cost was over 6.5€. So the best part of my meal was the overpriced water, I did not take a picture of the steak because I pushed it far away from me because of the smell, the waiter came and took it away, if I was a waiter and I saw a customer only eat like 3 bites out of a steak and push the plate out of the way, I would have asked if everything was ok with the food, but he did not, he just took the plate with the full meal as if it was something he does everyday, it seemed normal to him. The waiter was nice btw. The food was horrible, in all the places in the world I have been, I never encountered meat that tasted like that or smelled like that, as I am writing this review there is some crazy commotion going on in my stomach that does not feel good. Maybe the other food is fine but my meal was horrible , this restaurant is next to the Trocadéro
What was weird, is that nobody was rude and everything was very cordial, I did not complained about anything and was not upset, I just took it as is, but when I was walking out the chubby tall manager with the extra tight shirt and waiters all smiled very creepy and said bonne nuit as if everything was perfect, it was very creepy, as if they knew something I did not

BE VERY CAREFUL OF THEFT HERE! We sat inside the restaurant and professional thieves stole our bag and phone. The Metro is right outside so they had a quick getaway. 

Despite having security cameras right there, management ignored my request for footage. 
Olympics tourists need to be very careful here.

We visited Le Malakoff while in Paris.  It was near the Troncodero so the vibe was BUSY, lively, and touristy.  You are able to do so major people watching as the sidewalk in front is always packed. The service was friendly and prompt.  Our server David did a wonderful job filling our stomachs and needs.  I ordered the duck confit.  Lots of flavor and well cooked.  My wife had the Cobb Salad.  She was also quite pleased.  We ended with a Profitarole with tons of chocolate sauce. A GREAT end to a nice meal.

Typical (and WONDERFUL) Parisian experience. We were welcomed and greeted by a fluent English speaking host. FYI: You do need to waive a waiter down to order and have your bill paid. Our meals were very large and filling, but were so delicious and tasty. I recommend getting a hot sandwich as they cost the same as the cold and you get a side salad and fries. The cold sandwiches and salads are delicious, but I recommend the espresso drinks. Not only were they beautifully present, but the roast was fantastic and smooth. We loved sitting outside on the busy French street surrounded by other residents and visitors enjoying the cool weather and sunshine.

Good food, bad hospitality. Our waiter said the tip was not included on our bill and asked if I wanted to add a tip. I looked at the reciept and it looked as though there was not one already added. He said since the bill was over $100 and when I add a tip, I can get the VAT refund at the airport. Is this common on meals? I didn't think VAT applied to meals. But I also thought all tips were included. The manager was complicit because the waiter had a conversation with him before he brought us the bill and after. The waiter stood at our table on top of me until I made a selection.

The service is awful! It took 30 minutes to even place an order and even longer to get food. On top of that it was very rude
