Checks all the boxes. Ambience. Service. FOOD! Don’t miss out on the gratins - their spécialité de la maison. A more than pleasant surprise. Thank you, fourchette!

We went there for gratin and the two variations we chose were both great. Prices so reasonable, we sprung for two glasses of Sancerre. Our reservations were honored immediately though the very small space was fairly full. Friendly, professional wait staff. Would go back again.

The place was too small, and the tables were very close together. The food was expensive considering what they offered. We started with a platter of cheeses, which was the only dish I truly enjoyed. The second plate was a salad with toasted bread, tomatoes, and prosciutto, but it wasn’t anything particularly special. The standout dish was the gratin with salmon, but I couldn’t eat it because it had too much cream and cheese; it was far too heavy for my taste. However, I must mention that most diners seemed to come specifically for this dish, and they all left their plates empty.

Just a really nice place to have brunch on a sunny Sunday lunchtime. Wholesome French food with beer and cider to match. Not overpriced and the waiter was super.

Cheesy deliciousness. Nothing fancy, mind you, but filling for a gray January day. Wine 🍷 choices were cheap enough to accompany our late afternoon snack.

We were so happy that we booked our lunch visit in advance; when we arrived, the tiny place was completely full and other potential patrons were being turned away. We had to wait about 10 minutes before a table opened up for us, which was fine. The convenience to Notre Dame and the Saint-Michel area was perfect, but just enough away from the more touristy restaurants that we felt as though we'd found something the locals were enjoying. The specialty is a potato gratin dish that is given various treatments with or without the addition of meat. There are salads, too, but on a cold day we were ready for something hot and satisfying. It's surprising to see so many dishes come out of a tiny kitchen in a timely manner! There's a small but pretty good wine selection, too.

We both ate Gratin chauds of course, and both were delicious. The few tables are tightly packed, definitely a gem!

We were warmly welcomed and accommodated, with our bags and coats stored for us so we had more room at our table. The gratins and salads were amazing--simple and delicious. Great wine choices to accompany the meal. As we left, we listened to the bells of Notre Dame ringing. A perfect Parisian evening.

The service, the excellent food and the true ambiance of a French bistro! We’ve been here before and make it a must stop every time we come to Paris which is at least 1-2 times a year!

Overrated bistro. Food of kinds you get anywhere -- toasties, cheese with veg, etc. Good situation by the river but no more than basic decor. Very few locals eating there.

The kitchen is tiny and the menu is small BUT what they produce is excellence! The staff is very friendly and patient with non-native speakers. Best of all is the gratin! Every visit to Paris is incomplete without coming here! Located across from Norte Dame, the view is beautiful! Near many wonderful sights to see!

I’ve been here many times and it’s a must every time I’m in Paris. So quaint and cozy and across from the river. Picture perfect bistro vibe and don’t get my started about the food!! Service is great to match.
