Fakra sur Paris

10/09/2026: Very good, but impossible to rate above 5 stars.

03/09/2026: Visited during our first trip to Paris together, celebrating our anniversary — and Le Severo turned out to be a highlight of the whole trip. We started with a tomato salad that was, without exaggeration, the best tomato either of us has ever had — simple, but it stopped us mid-conversation. From there we ordered the filet au poivre and a large portion of steak tartare to share. Both were excellent, but the tartare actually stole the show — beautifully seasoned, clearly high-quality beef. The filet was cooked exactly to temperature, tender, and full of flavor. Our server recommended a red wine to go with the meal that paired perfectly and elevated the whole experience. Beyond the food, the room itself has this great energy — tight, communal seating that somehow makes total strangers feel like part of the same dinner party. It’s the kind of buzz you can’t fake. We found out the restaurant changed ownership back in January, which put a few of the more recent mixed reviews online in context. Whatever transition happened, it clearly didn’t hurt the kitchen — everything we had was outstanding. If you love steak and want an authentic, unpretentious Paris dining experience, Le Severo delivers. We’re already talking about going back next time we’re in the city.
