Recommended this place by a mate who lives in Paris and have to say the food and atmosphere were fantastic. We booked luckily as it got very full and as others have said, it is a very small restaurant so you do eat right next to other people with not much privacy. That being said for E29 for a four-course... More

The food was good and surprisingly bountiful. The salad with foie gras was excellent as recommended. The host/owner pushed people into cramped spots and in my case was in such a hurry that he grabbed my $1100. jacket and ran it through some whipped cream which he then sponged with cold water and made no effort to offer dry cleaning...

We had lunch reservations at this popular place or we wouldn't have gotten in on a busy weekday. Wonderful, friendly service and the easy teasing from the head waiter made us feel at home...no pretentious Parisians here! The price fix menu was excellent. I had the white asparagus salad with tomato, mixed greens, and a poached egg on top--hints of... More

This restaurant had great reviews and was near our hotel. Arrived at 19.00 on a Tuesday evening and was lucky to get a table. Recommend you book. The four course meal for 29 Euros is exceptional value. The friendly staff speack good English. Will visit again on our next trip to Paris where ever we stay.

After an overnight, trans-Atlantic flight we just wanted a nice meal near our hotel which was near Gare de Lyon railway station. Morgane at the Holiday Inn - Bastille desk, recommend this Zagat rated place and made reservations for us. It was wonderful. We went with another couple. The 3-course "fixe prix menu" was excellent. Service was exceptional, and Celine,... More

Our friends booked this place for us as they live in Paris and have been their before. They recommended it as a perfect little traditional French restaurant. We were not disappointed! We booked for 9pm so when we got there it was already quite full. There's not a lot of room between tables, but the waiting staff are very skilled... More

We had an excellent meal and really felt welcomed in this little restaurant near Gare de Lyon. We had the specials (house terrine and guinea hen in a mushroom sauce) and they were great. We had a great variety of cheeses and the deserts were delicious. The waitress and other personnel were very friendly and helpful. Overall, a very enjoyable... More

Amazing food, friendly host, awesome value! You get a lot of food here and the tastiest dishes. It's full of locals and not a touristy place AT ALL. It's like finding a great lunch or dinner spot in midtown where everyone in the know is there. It appears to attract a lot of co-workers dining out together and only a... More

Went on Friday night at ten. Had the plat du jour two courses, pâté followed by deer stew. Atmosphere fabulous, jolly, good-humoured and busy- the place was packed but we had reserved our table. Food was awesome. Staff were gorgeous. No room for dessert!
