The restaurant left us completely satisfied with both the service and the taste of the food. Since seating isn't extensive, I'd say reservations are a must if you want to ensure you get a table. We ordered the beef tartare and steak. The tartare, while seemingly simple, had a profound flavor. The steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection – it was so delicious that before I knew it, my plate was clean!

The food is good, but the attitude isn’t great. Too bad for them, not many people there tonight - only 3 tables occupied. Maybe it’s because it was Bastille Day. Or maybe they rub people the wrong way. Don’t know. In any event, I was looking forward to visiting but left disappointed.

But what about your attitude Your son spent more than 50% outside on the phone. No more comment

A simply delicious beef steak even without sauce. I prefer to have it only with salt. Very friendly and attentive service from the waiters and the owner. They advised me on the choice of wine.

Perfect match between fresh steak tartare and Morgon Gamay red wine. The owner has a restaurant in Tokyo and has a sincere respect for Japan.

I'd skipped breakfast as I looked forward to an early lunch. My steak was expertly prepared and tasty as one would expect. Very nice frites . I tried two different reds by the glass, both well priced and delicious.

Very 'old school' in that the service is unsmiling and when one of my guests asked for her steak to be well cooked, she was told there was no choice - it would be medium rare (fine for me but a little too bloody for her).

It was my third visit to Le Severo but my first in over a decade. Monsieur Bernet was there holding court from his table in the corner. The food and service was just what I remembered. If you like perfectly prepared meat and fine wine, this is the place. Bon appetit!!

Very tiny place, with a local feeling, a bit out of the way in a residential area. Exceptional quality of meat and wines. The owner can be a bit moody but tends to warm up as you spend more money. You generally end up speaking to the diners next to you making the ambience great, It feels like an a place for "insiders". Truly a gem!

The food is good, but the place is in a desperate need of a proper spring clean. Very weird vibe, completely different than the one captured in one of the episodes of „C’est meilleur comme c’est bon”. It’s a small restaurant with only 10ish tables squeezed together. One might call it quaint and intimate. If that’s not your thing, don’t go.

I have been to Paris many times in my life, and I have had just about every kind of meat dish you can imagine. I have never had anything as good as the entree (pork belly) and plat (tartare) than I ate at Le Severo. I plan on going back before this trip is over -- and am seriously thinking of ordering three of the pork belly entrees to equal one main dish. It was that good.

I really wanted to like Severo. It has a very simple, small and cozy atmosphere… but the lack of any attention to food presentation, lack of use of ingredients to enhance the flavor of the prime ingredients, and copious amounts of raw, flavorless meat just didn’t add up to a positive experience. The wine was good and the service was friendly… but I don’t think I’ll be going back. Regrets.

Small but perfect! The tomato salad was so full of flavour, the mushrooms were simple but tasty and the steaks - Wowie! So tender, peppercorn sauce was creamy, frites were hand cut and crispy. Service was attentive and charming. Wine list extensive - we had a red from Beaune, so delish. Highly recommend!!!

At a mere 10 tables, it’ll take a while to reach everyone, but this is one of the world’s great locations for beef. Yes, Spain has a couple of glorious exponents of steak, as do the U.S. & Japan, of course, but the flavors evoked here are just as extraordinary. The intimacy of the place is conducive to interacting with other diners without losing a sense of privacy for most of the meal. I suppose you could specify how you want your meat cooked, but my server (Gaël, whose English is great) just took my order and left. The tomato salad was deliciously simple and perfect for this time of year. The faux filet (strip steak) that arrived was a revelation. It might look a bit raw, but don’t worry—it is absolutely unlike similarly-colored Angus beef—it’s just right. I gather they use Charolais beef, or a similar breed, and prepared this way, it highlights the kaleidoscope of flavors I was unaware this meat naturally has. The fries actually helped to reveal this aspect, too. What a lucky find!

This small, perfect restaurant is a treasure. Exceptional meat, perfectly prepared. Reasonably priced good wine. And the best fries we've has in 6 weeks of travel.
