    We booked via the fork and was supposed to receive 20% off our food bill, the restaurant were aware we had a the fork booking but the restaurant marked us as non attendance and we received no discount and the fork have not helped either . Avoid this place

    It was the last meal me and my partner had in France before going back home and we couldn’t have been more happier with our choice! From the starters to the deserts everything was perfect and incredibly tasty!

    Food was excellent. The service was good but the manager seemed to be on his own so it was a little slow. However he was really nice, bubbly and chatted to us when he could. Ambience needs a little updating and the restaurant was a little loud, but still enjoyable and would recommend to tourists on a budget as the pricing was good compared to a lot of Paris restaurants.

    It was such a wonderful dining experience in company of my partner and 2 teenagers. The food was delicious and good value for the money. The desserts (caramel cheesecake and chocolate mouilleur) to die for. What made this a night to remember is the on friendly and efficient service. Rarely have been looked after so well. We would love to go back soon. Love the ambiance.

    The risotto with crispy chicken was sublime though everyone enjoyed their meals. Wonderful bistro food served with excellent friendly service. The waiter, Miguel, ensured that we were well taken care of. Cocktails and certain beers were offered on discount during golden hours. The ambience was cosy and welcome during the cold winter evening. I will definitely want to return.

    very bad service and arrogant waiter. we ordered a plat, it took them 40 min to deliver and when I asked about it, the waiter replied that it s been only 40 min and it's normal to take that long

    je me rappelle très bien de vous, qu'elle lâcheté, je vous ai demandé si tous c'était bien passé, vous m'aviez répondu oui. Visiblement vous n'avez pas le même avis que votre ami, je vous rappelle que sur les premiers beau jours nous étions complet, et donc commander, avoir eu vos boissons, puis votre entrée, puis votre plat au bout de 40 minutes lors d'un dîner n'est pas excessive du tout, je ne suis pas arrogant mais juste lucide, je vous ai juste fait remarquer que ce n'était pas long. Du coup, vous vous lâchez sur un avis assassin qui ne reflète tellement pas du tout le cuisine du restaurant, ainsi que son service. En gros, un simple "non c'est pas trop long" vous a gachez la soirée Super! Nous avons fait 45 couverts ce soir la et il n'y a eu que vous de déçu malgré la réduction. Bien à vous.

    The food wasn’t great and the service was worse. On top, they charged 3 cocktails on our bill and we only noticed after we left, too late to go back. Thieves. Ride. Avoid at all cost.

    We had a reservation but as it was Monday evening there were tables to choose from. Wait staff was efficient and courteous. The menu offers French specialties with a limited offer. Food was 👌
