This restaurant and generous owner literally saved our family trip to Paris. Many of the restaurants close to our hotel that we planned on visiting were either closed (on late summer holiday) or being remodeled. We fortunately came across this restaurant down the street from...our Novatel and met the super friendly owner, Olivier, and made a reservation for later in the week. Turns out we ate there 3 of the 4 remaining nights we had in Paris.
Everything served was super delicious and what we sought to experience in French cuisine and more! Even our young kids enjoyed it! Very cozy, inviting, comfortable, and quiet surroundings. Handwritten menu in English changes daily and we ate it all! Escargot, anchovy salad, warm mushroom salad, broccoli salad, vegetable soup, chicken in mushroom sauce, crispy duck, scallops in sauce, poached salmon, all with a side serving of french green beans and mashed potato. Their sauces are out of this world! Save room for dessert -- creme brulee, nougat ice cream with raspberry sauce, cheesecake with raspberry sauce.
Olivier, many thanks for your food and friendship. We feel blessed to have discovered your fine establishment and experience real, humble French cooking.More
