    This is a hidden gem in the 6th. We had the aubergine (eggplant) as a starter and it was delicious. For entrees, we had pork chops and veal, both of which were excellent (the sauce for each was amazing). The accompanying mashed potatoes were so good. Very reasonably priced with terrific service. We had a wonderful visit and would highly recommend.

    Vegetables limited to potato, despite prominently displayed cook book “The forgotten vegetables “. Crochet over acidic. Restaurant almost deserted Saturday evening despite excellent rating - has something changed recently?

    Friday evening, and the place was quite empty, with only 4 tables taken. It is a great place, with astonishing dishes. It’s not posh, and feels very comfortable, that made the experience valuable.

    The food here was really excellent. My wife doesntbeat meat but was able to have a meal she really enjoyed. My 'meaty' courses were sublime. Highly recommended

    What an incredible restaurant. The chef is brilliant and amazingly friendly for someone doing all the cooking! The food is wonderful and there is a beautiful ( and very reasonable) wine list. Can’t recommend enough.

    Overall nice restaurant in a quit neighbourhood of Paris. The staff was very accommodating, nice but the service was a bit slow. The squid as appetizer was over cooked and somewhat leathery but the sauce was good. Main courses were well prepared and plentiful rasty but not inspired! Overall decent but not memorable meal

    We came because it had a good recommendation from The Fork. The 40% discount didn't hurt either. The food was great. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back.

    Very nice little intimate restaurant in a side street just off Rue de Montparnasse in St Germaine. Welcome and service very good. Menu small but interesting and food very nice with an interesting mix of ingredients.
