Delicious, authentic French cuisine, generous portions. Signature rice pudding, sweetbreads, scallops, lamb, creamy mashed potatoes standouts. Some salty or too much thyme.
Location
Near Eiffel Tower (15-min walk), nestled on a small Paris side alley.
Service
Overall good to excellent; attentive, friendly, knowledgeable staff, English spoken. Some reports of rushing, rudeness, employee bantering.
Value for Money
High price point, somewhat overpriced. Entrees €40-50, appetizers €20-25. Value questioned by some.
Vibe
Small, tight, crowded, energetic atmosphere. Charming and joyous for some, others find it loud, uninviting, uncomfortable due to cramped communal seating.
