Wonderful street corner neighborhood place with sidewalk seating that is very pleasant.  Nice assortment of wonderful Couscous dishes.   Service was excellent.   Casual, relaxed and enjoyable.

Good service, and the daily special was very tasty. Cooscoos is only on weekends, at least in the fall when we visited.

We went back to this little restaurant on our visit this past spring. Food was still great, restaurant still clean and cool looking, staff still friendly AND they still remembered us. This will now be a tradition. I got a chicken dish that was so delicious, my husband had a sandwich that had this sauce that was crazy good, kids enjoyed burgers. Wonderful spot and a must if you're in the area.

Excellent meal at this friendly bistro at the quiet end of rue Gay Lussac. The owner (?) didn't speak much English but his son (?) soon appeared and helped negotiate the menu. He asked if I wa Ted a genuinely French meal and recommended the duck confit, which was tender and tasty and served on a bed of green beans and sautéed potatoes. I started with excellent smoked salmon served with toast and finished with the dessert of the day which was peach pie bursting with freshness. Wine was a sturdy red, recommended to go with the duck, and dessert was complemented by a glass of Armagnac. All for 36 euros.
It'd be a five star review except that after a leisurely 3 hour meal - and zero pressure to move along - I did have to ask twice for the addition. Only a problem because it was getting quite cold out. 
This is a new go-to in paris, for sure.

This was the local flavor that we had been looking for! Great, affordable meals, great drinks, and a real atmosphere. Max and Philipe were our regular hosts for the evening. When we go back to Paris, we will visit them again!

I really like this place....nice place to eat so many different  meals to choose from. I feel like I was treated like a long time customer there next time I'm in Paris I will stop back in for the food and to say hi.

Man, AT beat me to this one! He was the first to review this place and I'm over two years late. Whatevs.

So, without being too predictable, I totally agree with his comments. I really enjoyed our lunch at Les Ursulines while we were exploring the Latin Quarter, which he hadn't really visited before. While I am clearly not French, I sort of knew this area from my first trip to France. You see, my cousin was doing some PhD research at nearby AgroParisTech and had a teeny (not joking at all) studio apartment right next door. Anyway, back to Les Ursulines.

As AT said, lunch formulas include an appetizer and entrée or entrée and dessert. He opted for the latter, while I got the former. I think I started with a soup, though I can't recall which one now. My main plate consisted of a slice of leek quiche and salad, while AT got eggs slathered in house-made mayonnaise with boiled potatoes. We were both very happy with our meals and enjoyed talking about what we'd seen during our morning. Our chat was interspersed with his small talk with the warm owner and friendly server, which was fun for me. I don't speak French, so I was just the smiley American nodding her head and chuckling politely. Just because.

I got to try a bite of AT's tart, which he was really excited about, since it featured a plum he really loves, the mirabelle. It was the perfect ending to our slow-paced and restorative meal. We went back out to the streets of the 5th and the 6th arrondissements and ducked into small shops and bakeries and took pictures of the cobblestone roads.

We ate here on our last night in Paris; the food was fantastic, much more than the description on the menu.  Service was great and the Irish coffees were the best we've ever tasted,  can't rate it highly enough. Thank you for making it a memorable last evening!

Great place to go for lunch, full of locals enjoying the daily menu offerings. We went around 12:30 on a weekday and the place was standing room only, but the food is worth it and fairly reasonable value. The plat du jour was a wicked-looking pasta carbonara when we visited; but we had duck, which was bony but good, with steamed vegetables. My salad chèvre chaud was delicious and had very good ham on top. Service was as good as the brisk crowd would allow!

Very good food! And most important, the owner is super friendly and speaks English. My wife took the duck confit dish and I'm vegetarian, so he adjusted one of his dishes for me and came to check that we enjoyed the food. This place was so attentive, and friendly- Highly recommended.
