Small place located in the 15th district in Paris. It does have a second floor but I suspect they don't use it that much. I was the first diner at 7:30 pm. Menu is written on chalkboards. I had the poached egg with pork in red wine sauce. It was not bad. For the main entree, I had beef cheeks with carrots. It was good but the portions were small. It's an old place. Luckily, the only server spoke English. Will probably not return, but I kept the fourth star for the service.

Arrived without a reservation and the server quickly accommodated us by creating a four top table.  He then was very helpful in accommodating our vegetarian needs. The food was Amazing.  The ambience was old world and homey. Felt like a local place everyone enjoying a family meal.

Beautiful corner spot, top notch cooking.

Eat here. I won't bore you with a blow-by-blow of my meal, mostly because the menu's changed up periodically, and I can practically guarantee it's changed. Though don't be surprised if the duck foie gras's still there - it's that good[1]. This place is spendy - thank goodness they take credit cards - but worth your dime.

Service is personal to the tee. The owner and head chef served us, sat with us, chatted with us, and drank[2] with us.

Fly to Paris and cab over to Je The... Me[3]. Go now.

[1] Anthony Bourdain covered this place, and I largely agree with his remarks. Watch "No Reservations Paris".
[2] The owner might've skipped on the wine, but we DID offer.
[3] Etes-vous un francophile? I still laugh at their name's wordplay.

Very, very small. Only 10 seats available. We came at lunch time, made reservations but they were not really needed.

Owner does not speak English well, but he knows a few words. He was nice overall, but I would advise that you know the food items (in french) before ordering. He does relay them to you in English for a 'general idea.' French menu only, listed on chalkboard.

It was a very small and tight atmosphere. However, the decor reminds you of a general store that used to be there years ago.

Overall the food was good. The mushroom first course was excellent. My husband had veal kidneys, which he said were alright. I had Chilean Sea Bass which was good.

Portion sizes were perfect. 

Overall, I would recommend trying, but it wasn't a favorite restaurant of mine during my time in Paris.

Prix fixe menu available for a really great price (3 courses).

So disappointed. We used their web site reservation system, which said they would be open the day after Christmas. We received an email confirmation, then a reminder and so we spent 40 Euro round trip to Uber to the restaurant and back only to find it closed. I emailed them (copied below) and gave them time to respond, but they never did. I'm so sad because this was one of my favorite restaurants in Paris, but we'll never go back and we'll never recommend them again. I do have screen shots of all of the above, but don't see a place to post in my review. If I find later, I'll add.

I sent the following email and submitted it via feedback when they asked for it and heard nothing back. I did want to give them a chance to respond before submitting this review.

Le 26 novembre, j'ai fait des réservations sur votre site web pour le 26 décembre à 19 heures. Aujourd'hui, j'ai reçu un email de confirmation de cette réservation. Mon mari a spécifiquement demandé que nous avon diner dans votre restaurant lors de notre visite à Paris, car il en avait tellement aimé la dernière fois que nous sommes allés là-bas. Cela aurait été la troisième visite pour ma mère et moi. Notre famille de quatre personnes a dépensé 20 euros (40 euros aller-retour) en taxi de l'appartement que nous avons loué pour arriver et trouver votre restaurant fermé pour les vacances. Votre site web et tripadvisor disent que vous êtes ouvert aujourd'hui. Nous sommes très déçus Nous avons recommandé votre restaurant à beaucoup de nos amis qui a voyager à Paris. Je ne suis pas sûr que nous recommanderons Je Thè Me à l'avenir.

The food was incredibly delicious. I had the mushrooms for an appetizer, the white fish for dinner, and the rum cake to complete my food experience. For those patrons who are not fluent in French (as myself), navigating through the menu might be a challenge. Thankfully, the couple next to my husband and my table were very kind to translate it for us. 

P.S. You might ask why I am not giving this place a 5-star rating if the food was incredible? Well, the reason is because the waiter was a little rude to us due to our lack of expertise in the French language. While we tried very hard to understand the menu, we still hit major roadblocks along the way. If it wasn't for the kindness of the couple sitting next to us, we would have played the guessing game with our meals.

I had my best meal in Paris here. The staff is very professional and try hard to explain the menu in English to you when you speak only limited French. I don' t think anything on the menu is bad, so just follow the staff's recommendations. Also, the staff is really good at making wine recommendations. 

If you are worried about having to make a reservation in French like I was, just use this website for reservation: http://exclusive-restaurants.com/en/ Go at 7 because the restaurant does get busy later during the night.

Hmmm.. we came to this little restaurant hidden in certain some what shaky neighborhood because of a great referral of my friend's daughter. 
Decorated with items from the old past, limited seating and late operation hour ( 7 pm) all these could easily deter tourists but the locals seemed to have no problem supporting this restaurant. Most customers come after 8 pm. 
Now, remember this is a place serving traditional French cuisine. Many items on the menu could be raw meat, so ask before order. My friend accidentally ordered raw beef pie as the starter and she was not happy about it. Thx goodness I was able to switch my cream of mushrooms with her. I do eat raw meat even though not frequently. The beef was well seasoned and small bite size so the dish was actually quite good. The cream of mushrooms I ordered came with lots of mini mushrooms as garnish and it was really good. 
We both ordered fish, cod fish for her and I had Tuna. Nicely sate with just enough rawness in the center. 
She ordered Crème brûlée, and I had soft sponge cake with Rum. She said her Crème brûlée was ok but I love mine!!

The highlight of our Paris eating!!  You won't be disappointed and will talk about the experience to your friends back home.  Something you'll want to re-live over again!

My husband and I went on Yelp to look for a dinner spot on our last night in Paris.  Our hotel was just down the street from Je The... Me.  If you are taking the Metro, it is one block from stop at Convention on the #12.  

We didn't have a reservation, but arrived on the early side, around 7:30.  The Maître d', was wonderful wonderful.  A previous Yelp reviewer says, "Completely adorable", and that's just what he is!  Perfect - and charming.  He spoke enough English to get by.  I speak enough French to get by, so it all worked out.

The place is very cozy - but has an upstairs area as well.  Probably fits about 20 people.  

My husband got "Spanish black pig", which was phenomenal!  I got scallops, which had a citrus foam.  At first bite, the flavors just blow you away.  You can tell, not only by looking at the beautiful plate, that such care was taken into making your meal.  The restaurant is a group effort in service, where the chef took a few of the dishes to our table.   Very pleasant and inviting.  You really feel welcomed and I could feel the Maître d' really appreciated our American enthusiasm!  Don't be afraid of veering off of just saying 'tres bien' - He got my point when I replied, "this meal is just ridiculous and wonderful".

If we had done Entree's (appetizers), then Plates (main course), plus 2 desserts, I would say we would have been there 3+ hours.  We only did a plate each, then split a dessert.  Even though custom in France to go 'full out', I didn't feel that our American ordering was snubbed or anything.  The splitting of the dessert was a little confusing to them... so if you go this route, say "One for Two".  

Wonderful meal, service, and an experience we're telling stories about on our return home.  It's a hidden gem in south Paris.

Very late review. I just wanted to say how my group of four visiting for the first time was one of the most memorable meals we had during our Euro trip.

Reservations recommended. (not sure if this is still relevant as of this post)

Food was excellent and service was as good as it can be without having knowing French. Menu was in French but that didn't stop us choosing great dishes.
