We only had 2 nights in Paris and wanted to make sure we partook of the good food Paris is known for. I had read reviews from tripadvisor and a couple of blogs, and wanted to go here either for a lunch or dinner. We arrived at opening hour, 7:30pm, on a Saturday eve with 3 children in tow, and although we didn't have reservations, the staff kindly seated us on the terrace outside. Lucky for us, because within an hour, the place was full! Mostly locals too, which is always a good sign. The waitstaff, including our Uma-Thurman lookalike waitress, was very helpful and spoke to us in French and English (we have basic conversational French) and didn't mind our kids at all (they are age 4-10). The food was delicious and very high quality, the wines were inexpensive but good (we had a great Bordeaux for 26 euros), and our entire meal for 5 people came to under 115 euros (we didn't have dessert). Service was quick for France. It's located on a quiet street around the corner from Faubourg St Antoine - I don't think it will stay a hidden gem for long after all these great reviews!

Mostly locals use this restaurant but we visited on a very busy Friday evening after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. Thankfully we had booked ahead so seating was not a problem. As it was so busy there was quite a wait between courses. Not a problem as although it was busy the staff worked hard to get the orders out as quickly as possible. We had Pork Terrine and Mousse Chevre to start followed by various fish dishes. Cod, Monk Fish and Sea Bream and a Country Chicken dish. Most had the grilled peach with glace for dessert. A bottle of Cheverney and Beaujolias Village brough the bill to 50 Euros per person. Not as cheap as I had hoped but the wines probably contributed to this. Staff were friendly and spoke reasonable English but were so busy there was not a lot of time for personal service. The restaurant was off the beaten track as far as tourists go but I was glad we made the visit.

This restaurant was recommended by the hotel next door where we were staying. Even though the restaurant was tecnically closed, we were seated by the owner and enjoyed a fabulous dinner with great wine. My partner had the duck confit and I had a pork dish from the menu. Both were great and the portion was more than generous. Our command of the french language is non=existent but the owner helped us through and it was my favorite meal during our dtay in the amazing city.
