    What a complete joy. A simple, classic French restaurant with song and community. These people go above and beyond to turn a simple restaurant visit into a memorable experience. Food is about connection and camaraderie, and it shows. I hope this place goes on forever.

    The unbeatable atmos of an authentic Parisian musette. Singer Minette. Owner Jo. Barmaid la belle Sibel. And the fact that they had my novel Parisian Shadows (in which the restaurant figures) on display. Thank you

    One of the most incredible evenings I’ve had in Paris. I came with my mother, who is a vegetarian, and they prepared a special dish just for her. The food was excellent. We were there on a Tuesday and were treated to a spectacular performance featuring the songs of Édith Piaf. The staff was lovely, the atmosphere warm and familial, and it truly felt as though a bond formed between everyone dining there. It was genuinely an exceptional evening. Thank you!

    The food was really good, the service attentive and the live music was really great! I will go back for sure the next time I am in Paris. If you go to this restaurant, make sure to check their website to see if there is live music that night and what time it starts, because it's really worth it!

    Great fun seemed like a family owned French restaurant with music. The food was great, wine excellent, service phenomenal and the French music of Edith Piaf was so much fun, they even handed song sheets which resulted in everyone joining in

    The servers were welcoming and attentive. The entertainment got everything going and used the international customers to entertain each other with songs. Lively and casual atmosphere. Food certainly ok if not gourmet. Prices decent.

    Extremely slow service once the restaurant started to fill up, and Incredibly slow about getting the bill so I could pay for my meal and be on my way.

    The food was good but it was the environment-- the owner, the musical entertainment, the warm sense of community, especially as American tourists, made it a wonderful experience.

    Not only was is an Edith Piaf (voice and accordion) show but they involved everyone in the restaurant in a sing-a-long. Although it was mainly tourists it was lots of fun and a great immersion in the neighbourhood and music of Piaf.

    You don't go for the food, you go for the authentic experience and music. Go for the joy of being in the moment....life in a time long gone.

    Loved everything about this place!!it was our first night back in Paris and met a friend from New York who happened to be in Paris too. This is the ultimate French dinner experience. So many locals! Met lovely people from Germany sitting at table next to us! The woman who played the accordion and led the singing was fabulous! Can’t wait to go back next week for the Edith’s Piaf night! The food was good and staff amazing. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    One of our best evenings in Paris. A chance to go back in time to a French café in the mid-20th century, full of mostly regulars, enjoying the music of that era. While we were amongst the minority who were tourists, and not French speakers at that, everyone was made to feel welcome. Great music both by a very accomplished accordionist, and a talented vocalist.

    The lamb shank was excellent! I did not have an entree or dessert so I cannot comment. The glass of Bordeaux was perfect with the lamb. The music was great fun and the diners sang along with enthusiasm. The Edith Piaf tunes were great! I would reccommend highly.

    I was there with old friends of mine. We were tired from the Olympic games and commuting in Paris in general. As soon as the accordion music - french chançons started, we forgot about our fatigue. We laughted, we sang and we danced. We will never forget that night. Thank you to all the people working there! Merci beaucoup!
