Having eaten in Paris, I can say that the food is comparable at Brasserie Bodu. The one thing for me that I did not like, was that, like in Paris, there is lots of smoking inside. In fact, when my husband and I first walked in someone was smoking a cigar. I am not French so it bothers me a... More

We did not have a reservation and there was no free table, fair enough but the welcome was not nice at all and I am glad we had lunch somewhere else.

Went solo on a Friday night after reading about the steak tartare. The atmosphere was very Parisian, the service was very attentive and the steak tartarew (spicy) was one of the best I've ever had.
