"Ça manquait un bar à Maisons-Alfort avec une belle terrasse qui donne sur la Marne. Nous sommes arrivés presque à la fermeture et le serveur a fait son maximum pour nous servir. Le service est impeccable et les boissons sont très bonnes. Je recommande ce bar pour un apéro entre amis."

"Bon restaurant à Maisons-Alfort avec une belle vue sur la Marne. La nourriture est de bonne qualité, même si les prix sont un peu élevés et qu’il y a peu d’options végétariennes. Le cadre est vraiment agréable par beau temps, car l’intérieur est assez petit — idéal pour un déjeuner en terrasse au soleil"

"Situé dans la maison de l'environnement, le lieu est très agréable, surtout en cas de journée ensoleillée. L'Échappée Belle a en effet une belle terrasse dont une grande partie à l'ombre des arbres. Grande attente des plats qui nous ont obligés à ne pas prendre de desserts pour retourner travailler."

"I love this place. The food was amazing and the creative drink was a shock for me, it was really good. We came across this place on our bike ride and they were having a thrift sale with all clothing for everyone along with old chinas for a very reasonable price. I bought couple of stuff. Would recommend people to visit this place for a good drink and food during summer it’s really is nice."

"Nous y avons dîné en famille. Les plats sont originaux, raffinés et généreux. Je recommande notamment le carpaccio de joue de boeuf (cuit). Le cadre est agréable et j'imagine que ça doit l'être encore plus quand il fait plus chaud et qu'on peut profiter des terrasses."
