Three friends and I had dinner at this little restaurant recently. The food was really excellent and the service was good as well. It is on the expensive side but it was a delightful meal that all four of us, notwithstanding our jet lag, very much enjoyed. The morels in a wine sauce for a starter was mouthwateringly good. More

We have here many times and have always enjoyed great food. The service is the equal of the food. The wine tends to be a little high. We have brought guests here and have felt welcomed and lthat we made a good choice. More

Had dinner early May 2012 when visiting Paris on business. If there ever is an example that some TA reviews are manipulated, this is it. Chose this based on the rave reviews and found very little to be true. I had roast pigeon and morel starter. My colleagues had John Dory and Monk fish. Overall, the food was unremarkable... even...

Everything about this restaurant was very good but two things made it truly memorable. Overall the food was excellent. My wife had the Sea Bream with Eggplant Confit. She said it was one of the better fish dishes she has ever had in Paris. I had the lamb with mushroom duxelle. The lamb was above average but the sides were... More

After making an effort to get there in the rain, we were not disappointed. We choose the Degustation Menu with the wine, it cost 71 euros. Five courses and four wines. The owner/chef spends time in the very full dining room ensuring his guest's satisfaction. The view of the twinkling Eiffel Tower at the end of the street was the... More

Visited this fabulous restaurant at the end of April 2012 after reading its reviews on Trip Advisor. We wanted to go to a good quality restaurant which was off the usual tourist area. We were staying very close to George V and it was a five minute taxi drive away across the Seine. The food was some of the most... More

I love Tripadvisor for pointing us to this place which we would never have found otherwise. Truly excellent food and wine from start to finish (many oohs and aahs and a few gasps), warm and generous service, lovely out-of-the-way location. Probably underpriced, all things considered; we spent less than 100 Euros total for 3 course plus 2 wines, and there... More

I booked this restaurant for our anniversary dinner based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. The restaurant is small and intimate. We chose the Menu dégustation. This was 6 courses with an accompanying wine for each course recommended by the restaurant. It was amazing! Sublime food with wonderful wines which I had never had. The staff were efficient, informative and... More

We went to this restaurant based on the reviews I read on TripAdvisor. Believe those reviews! This restaurant is not to be missed. The food was wonderful and so was the service (note: if you're an American, like me, there's a short adjustment period to get used to French service). Our dinner lasted almost 3 hours but it did seem... More

Great restaurant with a nice personal touch. I ordered the "dégustation" which just kept the delicious food coming. Each course was paired with a wine that complimented the food perfectaly. We went with a fairly large group and they were able to accommodate us without any issues. I recommend this place without any hesitation. More
