Lively Irish-leaning pub near the Champs-Élysées with friendly staff, solid pub grub, and sports on TV; prices are high for Paris pubs and beer selection divides opinion.
Cottage Élysée delivers solid neighborhood pub performance anchored by exceptional service warmth and attentiveness and dependable pub classics like fish and chips. However, inconsistent execution on boards and rotating beer selection, combined with a noted decline in atmosphere and offerings over time, prevents grade A territory. The prime Champs-Élysées location appeals to area visitors, but pricing and occasional crowding limit broader appeal.
One caveat: Beer lineup and lack of certain Irish staples disappoint some long-timers
