No scallop has ever been lonely -- anywhere. Portions fit for a child? Perhaps Wadja were unaware that was your only meal of the week. Listen people: "threadbare" ambience has little to do with the quality of what a restaurant provides; one should visit a restaurant to eat; expecting an "experience" may be aiming too high. You demand an experience... More

Althogh the food was quite good the prices were high and more importantly the portion was only fit for a child . The proprietress was indifferent to any complaint or redress.

Plain and simple ambiance, no frills. Food was nothing special. Ravioli were greasy and unaccompanied by sauce. Scallops were small and looked lonely on a barren plate.

What a wonderful dinner at Wadja tonight! I have a dairy allergy, which is very tricky in France, but the staff were extremely kind and accommodating and managed to make me a dinner "sans beurre, lait, crème, ou fromage". The tomato salad was one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. The lamb with artichokes was also... More

food was disappointing and the welcome from the proprietor was less than welcoming; our waiter was pleasant enough but it was the low point of our dining experience in Paris

This restaurant was just across the street from our hotel. We decided to try it one night. The waiter was a really nice and experienced. The menu is presented on a big board and our waiter translated the menu into english for us! I ate the fish and chips - really tastefull, and my boyfriend had something else (a bird?),... More

Some of the selections were wonderful. Others were not. Priced reasonably. Very nice staff. Avoid the steak...it was tough. Terrrine was great!

We stumbled across this place one afternoon when it was closed, and returned because it looked traditional and cosy, and was off the beaten path. Compared to other reviewers, 1. We didn't find it too noisy. It was full, and the sort of local place where people certainly talk to each other, so there was none of the hush of... More

The ambiance is a little threadbare, only a bit more robust than a small diner, but it is the real deal. The owner and one experienced waiter out front, and a fine chef in the kitchen. This is truly a neighborhood place tucked into a tiny street just a few meters back from Boulevard Montparnasse. After four days draining the... More
