My family and I were welcomed on Easter evening to a wonderful 3 to 4 course meal, all very well done and with a wide array of choices. Many locals suggest that its not a touristy place, and well respected. We highly recommend tasting the dessert tray array, make room for it! We all have discerning and exploratory palates, and...

Went here with a group of colleagues and we were placed in a room at the rear of the restaurant. Decor fairly plain and not atmospheric but that was fine as we were a group and made our own entertainment. Seating was fairly casual on high bar stools. It was a popular place in an area full of restaurants. We... More

Went here after going to La Rotonde and wasn't disappointed. We booked on line some weeks before and received a warm welcome, the restaurant was full and had a nice atmosphere. We ate from the fixed price menu which was quite varied - food, wine and service were all fine - overall good value for money and a place we... More

We were in a large group of 12 people so there was plenty of different choices. We sat on a bit of a bizarre high chair like table sort of like a massive breakfast bar where our feet didn't touch the ground. Service was all over the place with some mixed up orders and food a bit delayed - but... More

Nous nous sommes rendus dans cet établissement par hasard, et nous n'y retournerons plus jamais. La carte certes abordable, et pour cause : les produits de base sont de faible qualité, la cuisine sans intérêt, et le service est inexistant. Au menu : - verres sales - serveuses inexpérimentées (la caisse des couverts traînait par terre devant nous et la... More

Very affordable with great food and beer. I had the French onion soup followed by the duck. The soup was delicious but the duck was a little dry for my taste. however my partner had the steak which was superb! More

Having visited Montparnasse 3 times in the last year we eventually found this restaurant and went back twice. The food was interesting and tasty, the service was good and we felt that for the price it could not be bettered. We shall certainly be dining there again when we hopefully go back next year. More

We went based on the trip advisor recommendations but were very disappointed with the rude service. After being seated on arrival we waited about 20 minutes without anyone caring to take our order for either food or drinks. In the meantime, other people were being catered for and being provided complementary olives, etc on arrival. After we finally got their... More

Recommended by my hotel in the Montparnasse section of Paris, I tried this restaurant for dinner, which ended up so pleasing, I went back two more times. What I found extraordinary was the 3-course pre-fixe selections. While most Paris restaurants that offered pre-fixe fare, their selection options were few. This restaurant, on the other hand, had a very extensive selection,... More
