Off the beaten path in the Marais neighborhood and glad I found it. A cozy petite gem serving extremely tasty French food with a twist! My evening was extra special, as the chef's mom was hosting a family dinner which made it extra festive. I  had the salad with haddock, avocado and beets, which had a citrus dressing. The fish was smoked; it very much complimented the other flavors and textures of this salad. My main was the ris de veau, basically sweetbreads in a buttery caper sauce--extremely delicious!  My meal ended with a panda cotta citron; great finish. Delightful dinner, is a friendly place; especially when dining solo! Extremely affordable to boot!

Came here based on good reviews from blogs and yelp ratings for our local area. Have to say I was disappointed. Food was tasty but I felt that they were holding back on ingredients so as to offer the fixed price menu (€26). Other tables looked like they had better food - not sure if this was due to our poor ordering or wether there are portion differences if you go a la carte.

It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't return. Staff were very friendly, and a bonus is that you can choose something from their large wine collection and only pay for how much you have.

Quaint little spot that we really enjoyed. The service exceptional and so was the food. The chef came out and she explained everything to us.

Amazing food amazing service fabulous, intimate, French setting. Next time I'm in Paris I will be back. This was such a great choice - we came here on a whim and were so thrilled with everything. The waitstaff was so nice and knowledgeable and the chef came out and explained the menu to us. The food was PHENOMENAL.

This was a delightful restaurant with a variety of menu items. The butternut squash soup was my favorite. We had a bottle of wine, a full dinner, including desserts for a surprisingly lower amount than we expected for such excellence. Highly recommend!
