Superior traditional menu with southwest of France bent, real integrity and solid execution. We’ve been dining here two or three times a year for over ten years and have rarely been disappointed. Fois gras stater, confit de canard and cassoulet mains especially satisfying. Modest wine list no real value but a number of adequate food wines. Good service. Fairly priced meal for the times. Recommended.

Booked the table for 9pm, arrived 10 minutes earlier than the booking time and was told to wait for 5-10 minutes. Waited until 9, but was told now the table was not available until “it becomes available, maybe one more hour” due to the booking was made “too late” with a very bad attitude. Ultimately, we were refused service.

Visited here 14 years ago and had a wonderful experience. Revisited in September 2025 and the food, service and ambience is the same. Affordable luxury would be a good way to describe this restaurant.

It was my partner’s first time in Paris and I couldn’t imagine a better dining experience for her. The food and wine were fantastic, and we loved the atmosphere so intimate with great service. Perfect for couples, families or solo diners.

Excellent food and service. Duck confit was superb. Good wine list. Interior is spare, but everything else is first rate.

Probably our favorite bistro in Paris. First came here in 2005 and have returned multiple times in the 6 visits we’ve made to Paris since then. The food is consistently superb and the service is attentive, warm and efficient. The light in the restaurant is likewise warm and inviting. There’s nothing that is not excellent about this place, and we expect to return many more times.

This was my favorite Paris bistro years ago but I have been away from Paris now for 2-3 years and just returned to it again. Seems even better than before and my friends said it was their best meal in Paris all week. All good but desserts are a must have. Especially the Pear mousse.
