We found this restaurant on our last night in Paris looking to be somewhat close to the Tour D'Eiffel for a night-time photo. Was very small and crowded and the food was very good for the price. Much less expensive than other restaurants in the same area. More

Loved this place, the best in Paris! We went to the one in Sr Germain de Pres...it's teeny and pokey and we were sitting with a big group of French people. It was thw night that the Frane Ireland rugby 6-nations game was cancelled so we were in bad form, but this place saved our evening. The staff couldn't have... More

Get there early, its small and the tables are packed in tight but it fills up quickly. The menu is short and simple but the food is delicious. Classic French offerings, turned out of a tiny kitchen without any of the pretentious fluff that often accompanies french food outside of France More

After finding the restaurant we intended to go to was closed, we asked the local butcher for a place to eat. He suggested we try here. As we had an early weekday lunch, it was not busy, and the service was fast and friendly. The food was good bistro food, and the wines were reasonable. All in all a nice... More

Nearly missed this but well worth a visit. Very cramped when busy. Efficient service and well priced. Onion soup, and rump steak a good choice. Mainly used by locals we thought. More

Excellent atmosphere, homely cuisine, fast but good service, the desert is a highlight. Not a place to spend the evening as the restaurant is small and caters to its locality. Recommended for its superb value! More

Almost passed this place up in search of something better, but glad I gave it a try. Voted best mash potatoes ever, but my travel companion. It was a tiny crammed dining, which I actually like. Nice way to meet others and see what is on the menu. More

After arriving in Paris, some folks checking out of our hotel recommended this spot. We had a great meal. I started with a excelllent haddock entree followed by a delicious vegetable platter (something healthy after a week of cheese and foie gras in Burgundy). My wife had a top-notch salade nicoise. This restaurant was a pleasantsurprise and we would recommend... More
