We enjoyed a delicious meal here. I had the chèvre salad, rabbit stew, and tiramisu. Husband had rabbit terrine and steak. We also each drank a glass of wine, which was just 6 Euros. Highly recommend.

Arrived at this restaurant on the 25th of September expecting a meal to remember per yelp. What we received was nothing less than very bad French cuisine. We ordered the Mushroom soup to start and it tasted as if it came out of a can, in fact there were no mushrooms to be found other than a flavoring of mushrooms with pure cream. We have had great mushroom soup at other establishments in the past and this was a joke. especially considering the cost of getting there and back from our hotel.

We then had the Foie Gras and it was below average and very disappointing. We have had the best at "Le 50" in Paris when they were still in business so we know Foie Gras. Next we tried the Sweetbreads and this was a complete disaster, the chef obviously does not understand that the membranes must be removed. There was absolutely no prior preparation as is required for this delicacy. 

So the restaurant knows here is the proper preparation should they wish to properly prepare sweetbreads.

" To prepare the sweetbreads, you'll need to soak them in filtered water with a splash of vinegar for two hours or more (longer is fine, but two should do the trick). Change the water out a couple times while they're soaking, as this process is removing blood and impurities from the meat. When they're finished soaking, rinse the sweetbreads and put them in a saucepan with water or bone broth and a generous dash of salt. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. When the sweetbreads have cooled enough to handle, use a sharp knife to carefully remove any membranes, tissues or fat. Cover the prepared sweetbreads with a layer of parchment paper and flatten them out overnight in the refrigerator by placing a cookie sheet on top. Your sweetbreads will be ready the next day for cooking."

None of this was done and the Sweetbreads were literally uneatable unless you did not know any better.

How this restaurant has a 4.6 star rating is beyond understanding by anyone who knows and understands food. We recommend avoiding this establishment if they are in search of real French cuisine or until the chef goes back to culinary school if in fact he has any formal cooking experience at all. This restaurant is a black eye on French cuisine.

We were staying near Le Volant Basque and saw the great reviews on Yelp, so we went there for dinner. They take reservations and get very busy, so definitely try to get one if you're planning to eat here. It'll take time to get through dinner as it seems most people order multiple courses, it's definitely a spot for regulars.

My husband ordered the Beef Bourguignon which was deliciously tender and fell apart. It came with mashed potatoes, polenta, and rice. He said all were delicious. I wasn't feeling the best so I didn't get an entree but did get a few desserts to try out - the crème brûlée and dessert tapas (chocolate mousse, fruit salad, and tiramisu). All were decadent & tasty.

I do feel like I missed out not ordering a full meal. I'd definitely make sure you're hungry when coming, portions are generous!

Service 5 stars!!! Parisians are generally unfriendly but the lady was very friendly. Spoke great  English all the way. 

Steak 5/5 tender, fragrant, each bite was a delight 

Mushroom / escargot 5/5 
I've never had escargot this tender, if I didn't know , I would have not known I was eating escargot 

Mushroom soup 5/5
Despite the mushroom was all blended in the soup, this was delightful. We all loved it 

Omelette with bacon and something 2/5
Maybe it had a strong flavorred cheese but we didn't like it 

Crème brulee 4/5 
Felt this was just ok 

I would come back and try other items

Waiter was older and hilarious, had character!
Chef is in the window watching and enjoying his amazing food being enjoyed .. 
the grilled ginger sea bass was great, perfectly cooked. Sides are delicious. 

Shrimp appetizer with garlic ginger is next level despite being a pain to peel.

The rabbit (not pictured) is the absolute best that you will ever try. It's brought in a small pot with butter garlic vegetable broth and it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. 

Best restaurant in Paris so far.

When you come to Paris this is the experience you crave. Unique space with sports memorabilia and a fantastic staff (maybe the owner) willing to guide you through the menu. The wine selection was awesome and they do a bit of mix and match pre-fixe or ala carte and will figure it out at the end of the meal. They specialize in game and offal but keep some mainstream items, like scallops, on the menu. We had the duck confit and rabbit which were both uncious served with sides of potato, rice and couscous.  Easily one of the best culinary experiences of our trip to Paris. Make a reservation and don't worry if you don't get a confirmation, they will be waiting for you.

Long time small restaurant in the 15e. Authentic and delicious old fashioned French fare as cooked by a bonne maman d'autre temps. 
Make your reservation and go test their boeuf bourguignon, pâté basque, foie gras, and clafoutis aux figues when available. If you are more adventurous, try the rognons or tête de veau. 
Enjoy that small cozy, elbow to elbow, shoulder to shoulder very French restaurant. Santé !

A good place to try comfort foods with varied selections, if you're from out of town. Looks like regulars frequent this place. They're friendly too. All of the food we tried, including the sweetbreads, tasted good, most especially their beef bourguignon.  
Service is the usual, as expected in French restaurants, you have to get their attention if you need anything else.
With regards to Ambiance, it's a small place, seating is tight (based on a perspective from another country), and I'm still not used to smokers seated next to you, even if they're vaping! 
Smokers are usually seated on the outdoor tables. 
Will come back when I'm back in Paris, to try the other dishes. Kudos to the chef.

Found this place on Yelp and decided to come for the highly rated beef bourguignon.  The food was amazing!  Highly recommend the beef bourguignon.  They had a set price for appetizer + main, main + dessert, and appetizer + main + dessert.  My fiancé and I shared a charcuterie board for the appetizer, both got the beef bourguignon as the main, and shared a creme brûlée for the dessert.  This was more than enough food and included a good variety.  The beef bourguignon came with sides including rice, mash potatoes. and polenta.  While the food was great, I deducted a star for the slightly condescending tone from the waiters for being English speakers.  This shouldn't deter anyone from coming since we noticed several other English speaking tables so it seemed to just be a service related issue. 

Highly recommend as a beef bourguignon / French cuisine restaurant in the 15th arr.

This hole in the wall is definitely a must try if you're looking for authentic French food in central Paris! 

Service is good - typical French vibe (aka can be slow). If you want to sit inside I reccomend to make a reservation otherwise enjoy the outdoor table (they don't have heat lamp so can get cold)

Food is amazing! We ordered the beef bourguignoun and it's the best I've had in Paris. My boyfriend ordered the steak. We got a 2012 bottle of bordeux to top off the meal. Our meal also came w three sides - rice, grits and mashed potato which was silky smooth and flavorful!! For desert we enjoyed a creme brûlée. 

If you're looking for authentic French food, def visit this place!
