This was the best meal we had in Paris hands down. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the wait staff was so attentive, personable , charming and nice and the food was 10 out of 10! The prices as well were extremely reasonable for the incredible quality of the food. 

We had the pigs ear salad and foie gras for starters both were above our expectations. The foie gras was grilled which was new to my husband and I and this may be our favorite new way of having foie gras, as it was crispy but also melted in your mouth. For entrees I got the duck breast and it was THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD! It was cooked to perfection and had the most gorgeous sear on the skin, sitting beautifully in the center of a Demi glaze sauce, the best word to describe it is succulent! I don't think any duck I have in the future will compare, which is why I'll have to come back to Paris if only for this dish! The side I got was a pumpkin mash and it paired perfectly with the duck! My husband got a beef dish and it was spectacular as well, but he hailed my duck as king that night. For dessert my husband got a chocolate mousse which was rich and decadent. I got the floating island and the meringue just melted away in my mouth with the vanilla custard sauce and caramelly drizzle. I will forever be dreaming about this dessert as no dessert in the US will ever compare. Everything from start to finish was phenomenal. 

There is nothing that will stop me from ensuring I eat at this restaurant whenever I am in Paris again! It was the highest of highlights. And to speak to how incredible it was, we met an archeologist when we first sat down who has been coming to Paris for 15 years for work twice a year and he ALWAYS eats at this restaurant because of how fantastic it is. 

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The highlight for this restaurant is the potato dauphine. My boyfriend and I hadn't ever had it before, and picked it from the sides. It's amazing, with a crispy outside and the softest, fluffiest potato on the inside. Almost like the best biscuit you've ever had. We didn't see it on any other menus, and if we had, we'd have gotten more. 

For a main, I got the risotto, and it was a really umami froward experience. I was glad they refilled our bread dish so we could mop up the remaining liquid.

The restaurant is also very cute in decor. I liked the flowers cascading from the ceiling.

Food was delicious. The veal belly stew was great. The meat was melting in my mouth. The chicken was well-cooked and the mushroom sauce was yummy! I mopped all of the sauce with my bread. Service was efficient.

We came here on New Year's Day as it was one of the fewer restaurants open for the holiday. There was a mixup with our reservation and it had gotten accidentally cancelled in the system, but we were seated promptly. I got the scallops main dish and a glass of white wine (€5). The scallops were yummy and not overcooked, and they were kind enough to switch out some ingredients to accomodate my allergies. The boyfriend also enjoyed his escargot starter and sausage main dish. Would recommend this restaurant!

I was so glad to have found this place so close to where we stayed in Paris. From the TripAdvisor ratings, it looked like it was a favorite among locals, so I wanted to check it out.

The place was cozy, I would say about average size for a Parisian restaurant, and the waitstaff was really friendly. They were open to giving suggestions on the wine selection which were really good, but most memorably, the waitress (manager? Owner? She seemed more in charge of the place than normal waitstaff) highly recommended this egg dish in a red wine reduction (It might be called Oeufs en Meurette.. thanks for the tip, M L.!), and it was amazing. Rich flavors with a delicious soft boiled egg, I really wish I could find something like that in the states.

The soup was also delicious, I think it was a carrot soup with cremé fraiche.

This restaurant is a perfect place to have a delicious meal. Unpretentious and not fussy. But delicious. Also be sure to have a reservation on Saturday night. We ate at the bar and saw many people turned away for lack of one. The servers were delightful but not hovering and made great suggestions. I had scallops and butternut squash soup with the rice pudding and Carmel sauce for dessert. The meal begins with this cute little egg and cheese appetizer. Highly recommend.

Such a great introduction to Parisian cuisine! It seemed like a small, family run business and the food was fabulous

Don't order grilled beef for two!!!
Why? 
Because you will get tooooo much. 
When they bring me the huge dish, other customers asked 'Will you gonna eat all of them?' LOL
Also the water, you have to mention it is free water, otherwise they will charge you 6.5 euro for just a bottle of water!
Anyway, like a cheating restaurant, never come here again

This place is the bomb. The food is exceptional. The service is friendly and efficient. It has a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. I would recommend this establishment to all with an appetite. The soup was fantastic, a creamy butternut squash with just the right amount of seasoning. We also had the a roasted marrow bone. It was so delicious my mouth still waters when I think about it. Cooked to perfection where it is a little crunchy on the edges and succulent and juicy on the inside. We had a country stew with pork beef and chicken that was also very satisfying. The gravy that it was all cooked in was outstanding. We shared a couple of desserts, not because we were still hungry but because everything else was so well done we didn't think we should pass up a good thing and we were not disappointed. The profiteroles, mana from heaven, next time I'm starting with that. We also had a lemon tart type dessert that was good and imaginative in it presentation, which I might have to try again only because I think I was too full to measure it on it own merits, 
I loved this place. If I could pack some in my suitcase I would. Unfortunately they don't do food to go at all.

Excellent experience overall. Everything fit well. Escalopes de foie gas poelees, followed by filet d'omble chevalier a la plancha with wine choice. Service was very good and also value for the money.
