My 15 year old niece and I were wandering the streets of Paris and came upon this darling little place for a late afternoon lunch. The service was the best and we each had one of the daily specials. I had the stuffed pepper and it was excellent--a large portion that I couldn't finish and wished I could have taken with me. My niece had the chicken and also couldn't finish. The interior was light and bright and we were seated in comfortable booths. Loved it.

We ate here two nights in a row because it was friendly, relaxed and excellent value for money. It also seemed to be used by local people and students which counts for a lot. The quiche was wonderful. Tap water was brought to the table as a matter of course, without us having to ask. It's probably not the place for a romantic meal for two while in Paris, but for good food and excellent service at the end of a day spent sightseeing it was hard to fault.

If you want to have a break while you are visiting the city of Paris, and near by Notre Dame a good option and not expensive is the cosy restaurant La Fourmi ailee.
They have a short menu, but menu but more than enough..also for vegetarians.
Try the quirche lorraine..it's really good.

Came here with a friend from England and we loved it. The food was beautiful and the waiter had a great sense of humour. The food portions were perhaps a little bit too big but we certainly got value for money.

Booked in here for Valentine's day 2013, and it was hands down the worst meal I've had in Paris. Ordered starters, mains and a bottle of wine, didn't stay for dessert or coffee. I had tagliatelle in a tomato sauce - it was very oily and the pasta was undercooked. Don't know how it's possible to make such a hash of such a simple dish! My girlfriend ordered the pan-bagnat and was confronted with what looked like half a dead cow on top of some salad... the whole meal had the air of being heated up in a microwave.

In its favour, the wine was ok and the ambiance was quite fun with bookshelves etc, and the waiter was friendly enough. However the whole experience was topped off with a stream of guys passing through trying to flog their roses - fair enough if you're sat out on the street, but did they really have to be let inside?

There's many other better restaurants in Paris, we will not be coming back.
