    What a fantastic dining experience! Lucille is an incredible hostess/owner, who welcomes you into her establishment like she's welcoming you into her own home. Her restaurant is the perfect combination of intimate and lively, utilizing the straight-from-the-farm supply method that is so quintessentially French. Everything we tasted was wonderful--and we went two times in the four nights we were in Paris!

    The food, the ambience and the staff were as perfect as you could hope for. My wife commented that only a handful of times in her life has she been in a restaurant where the experience was so wonderful that she almost wanted to cry. This was one of those. The owner, Lucille, is incredible. Every bite of every dish we had was beyond words. Thank you for a beautiful evening.

    Absolutely loved this restaurant. We were the only Americans in the restaurant which was a great sign. The servers and other customers were very friendly. We love French food so knew our way around the menu without much help. The foie Gras , escargot and duck confit were exquisite. Out the door, with a nice bottle of North Rhine red, was $70 pp. it would have been 25% less if the dollar wasn’t so weak. Would highly recommend.

    What a delightful find. Everything from the welcoming host to the delicious food was excellent. We started off with the onion soup and then went to a special of the day carpacio beef, and then their pork with the restaurant special sauce. To finish, we had a chocolate lava type cake with whipped cream. Definitely our best meal in Paris. We would rush back here.

    We loved this place! There are comments elsewhere about the staff and the cramped tables. This is Paris, embrace it. It's a family run restaurant with great food, not fine dining, but just a great atmosphere. The staff were great, making recommendations for both the food and the wine

    Adorable, cozy restaurant with very friendly wait staff. They could not have been more welcoming and then came the amazing food. We shared a wonderful salad with bacon and cheese and both of our meals were delicious! I had confit de canard (duck) and my partner had tuna. The chocolate dessert with whipped cream was to die for. The wine was perfect and served in beautiful glasses. We will be back!!

    We found just what were looking for in this small, neighborhood-type of generational restaurant with the balance of casual ambiance combined with amazing food. Every bite, each dish, the wine selection, all were what we had hoped to experience in this wonderful restaurant.

    Had a wonderful dinner here last night. We decided to have several starters rather than a main course, and they were all delicious. Onion tart was exceptional, as were salads and onion soup. The place is small but with a lively atmosphere; it was packed. Great service, despite a small staff and every table occupied. Really enjoyed it!

    This was lovely Paris restaurant serving fabulous regional food from Gascony accompanied by a good range of french regional wines. Well worth a return visit, if only we weren’t moving on tomorrow. But if you are in the area try it. You won’t be disappointed

    The ambiance matches the food. That was very pleasing in our first night out of home. Meant the journey is on! Excellent foie gras!

    Nice ambiance. Lots of sausage dishes for 25 euros. Very basic food at surprisingly high prices. I've been a few times before but this was the last time. Relaxed service. They were very patient when my date arrived 45 minutes late.

    Good food but extremely slow service and very cramped space for eating, like 2 cm between the tables.

    We went as a group of 6 girls and couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome. We had a little bit of French between us and they were so happy to help translate the menu into English for us. The food was exceptional, stand out dishes were the ribs and apple tart that were both specials. The atmosphere was lovely, like being a guest in someone’s home and the rest of the crowd in there were Parisians who created a really lovely vibe. Thanks so much for a fantastic evening, we will be back! X

    Good food. Don’t be put off by the tables being so close together - the service is excellent and food very good.

    Booked at the last minute and glad we did. Proper little French restaurant tucked away in a side street. Small menu but the daily slate is longer! Young servers all knew their stuff, spoke perfect English and were a pleasure. Recommended!

    Nice food, not great value for money. Ive had better food for same prices and same as for much bettter value. 6/10 is probably best reflection of overall experience

    Generally good food but not worth the price. Tables were waaaayyyy toooooo near each other and it felt more squashed up like a typical friends gathering, except we weren’t friends with our close by neighbours. Service is alright, some staff are more smiley than others which doesn’t help put the service at an equal high standard. Would not visit again.

    Quaint French restaurant with a farm to table concept. Friendly staff. My wife enjoyed her onion soup. She liked the flavors but wished she had more cheese. Her meatballs were delicious although she didn’t enjoy the raisins like I did. My pork was good but perhaps it was grass feed hence a bit too lean having less fat. We enjoyed the restaurant and would recommend it.

    This is an excellent restaurant with very good food and atmosphere. Be sure to make reservation ahead of time. Otherwise, you will need to wait in a long line or might not be able to get in.
