"What a recommendation from Rick Steves! Food was amazing (beef wellington, half lobster, and chicken supreme) were all delightful. Also started with a Salad that was enough to split for 2-3. Service was exceptional and attentive to every detail."

"The restaurant is in a tourist area so whilst it's nicely French, expect quite a few tourists. But then again that's what we were! Very nice Saturday night meal, one x sea bass and one sausage & aligot sharing a citrus cheesecake. Bottle of very good Bordeaux & coffee - €93 which I think is good for a few hundred yards from Notre Dame . Buzzy atmosphere & decent service, all good !"

"We've been here twice this week and really enjoyed sitting at the comfortable bar. We did duck nems (like egg rolls), which were delicious and I also enjoyed their specialty Tigre qui Pleure. Service is friendly and efficient. Don't forget to try vin chaise if they have it. Delightful!! Love this place. It is very comfortable inside, space between tables."

"We had escargot and an egg salad, both incredible! It was somewhat busy, and no seating outside was available, so we seated inside. Beautiful place and fast service, food was very tasty, and I recommend the escargot here"
