If you want an authentic, Parisian restaurant then this is the place. It was jam-packed with locals, so we were glad we had booked and the menu had no English translations, but the host was so friendly and explained each dish to us, so this was not a problem. The food was lovely and it was great to feel like... More

We went here based on a recommednation from a friend. we were a little disappointed based on what my friend told us. The food is good. It is authentic french cuisine but I was slightly disappointed because I had higher expectations. The service was very courteous. You will not find many tourists there.

It’s a tiny old-fashioned bistro with two rows of small tables tightly packed together down each wall. This can be part of the charm because the place is usually packed with locals and we were fortunate to be seating in between a charming young French couple on one side, and a boisterous family on the other. The minute kitchen produces... More

Very charming and extremely small restaurant. The waiter has to move the tables to allow half of the company to reach their seats. Good food but not with the delicacy we had expected. A little too big portions. Worth a visit - good but not fantastic.

This really is a true gem. Excellent service from a very friendly waitress who happily translated the menu to english. Wine was reasonable with a good red for 20 euro. Mains of lamb and cod were tasty. Desserts could be missed out on as definitely not homemade and fresh. Otherwise a truly delightful evening, book ahead as very small and... More

This really is a traditional little French restaurant, the food is very good, the waiting staff are so friendly, you really are made to feel welcome. I booked this before we travelled as we have dined there before, and it was so easy, unfortunately they don't open on Saturdays, but hey everyone needs a rest!

Following reading some reviews on Trip advisor we decided to give this place a try. As noted the place is pretty small so booking in advance is a must. On entering the place we were greeted warmly and got an explanation about all the dishes. The meal was excellent, food was fresh, well prepared and in just the right quantities.... More

Firstly, reservations are essential. They have no website it's resvations by phone only. We got our hotel to do it for us, which was much easier. Our table was for 8pm and even then we were only the second people in the tiny little restaurant. The owner sat down next to us, had a chat about where we were from... More
