Amen to that too! Right across the street is Le Ballon des Ternes and catty corner on Avenue de la Grande Armee is Le Congres, and both of these neighborhood restaurants/bistros (which even offer a prix-fixe tourist menu complete with wines included) are 100 times better than the “Hyatt lounge” food!
But some people want to save money, don’t forget that

For me, the Lounge at the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile is good for breakfast, and an occasional glass of "cheap" wines with some saucissons as el cheapo aperitifs and appetizers before a really nice dinner in Paris

The lounge at the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile remains a solid option for breakfast (with a view), and a so-so “happy hours” aperitifs option which while it costs nothing, you get second rate wines and food.

I remember the Veuve Clicquot days very fondly! These days, it’s a Cremant de Bourgogne or Cremant de Loire, which are actually not too bad!

We ate in the restaurant that served as the lounge during the remodel in 2017. Was decent, but a few nights, it was like a pack of wolves when they brought food refills out. I thought the breakfast was pretty good.
We liked the steak and frittes restaurant around the corner from the hotel. Nothing fancy, but enjoyable.

I only went up to the lounge for a quick look during breakfast. Off the top of my head, I think the restaurant had two different kinds of salmon.

Very famous for its « secret » sauce and very good quality/quantity for value.
Only minuses are no choice (menu is salad followed by 2 services of steak and fries and that’s it) and not possible to book so be ready to wait (up to 1h at peak times) queuing in the street.

I’ve eaten at the Relais de Venise, and here is my opinion:
- The food is average, but not bad! The frites are better than the steak
- The line is always long, so clearly people like what they have to offer
- The Ballon des Ternes on Avenue des Ternes, literally across the street
- Le Congres on Avenue de la Grande Armee, less than 5 minutes away
- Kifune (Japanese) on Rue Saint-Ferdinand, about 7 minutes’ walk
