We arrived at 12pm on a Thursday in Nov 2024 without reservation and got a table without waiting.

Our server spoke English and we managed to order smoothly. They provided lunch menu but we went for a la cart. Both items were really really delicious! Highly recommend.

I can only give the atmosphere 3 stars as the table was way too small and it was too packed between tables. Coming here in Nov with big coats was a bit hard to fit in such a small table. Having said that, the decoration was cute!

Service was completely fine! Our server was nice and spoke good English. We are non French but were treated properly.

Amazing food and service, great vibe and huge portions. Duck was spectacular and chocolate mousse is best in class and served with a great dollop of drama.  So delicious and so rich I couldn't finish the enormous portion... but worth trying. Book well ahead- this place is packed but worth the planning.

Wonderful food that was perfectly cooked. Our server, Samir, was incredibly kind and the ideal server. He was genuinely a good host to everyone and made our experience that much better. Although tipping isn’t usually customary, we had to give a 20% tip. The interior had a great vibe and cool decoration.

Well Worth the wait .
The crown of the experience was their heavenly chocolate mousse ! I was certain we will leave nothing , but the amount was huge we only managed half of it .
We had food restrictions & surprisingly , they were super friendly and accommodated to our special needs, although the place was full & they were super busy! My daughter & I appreciated their hospitality , care and attention .
We booked on the same day , bec the day before we had no chance. Don’t stand in the line if you want to book for later . Can’t go wrong on any order .

Went there for late lunch after seeing the restaurant on social media, we wanted to try the famous chocolate mousse! By the way, you can’t just go for dessert, you do need to come for a proper meal. Everything was mediocre apart from the chocolate mousse! I had a caesar salad where the chicken was cold, but apparently that’s how it’s supposed to be served. I also had a baked cheese with tomatoes that was basic. My friend had the snail pasta which was blend. However, the chocolate mousse was amazing! Very rich and exactly how a french chocolate mousse should be like. Bread was cold as if it had stayed in the fridge, the staff said it was certainly not possible. The atmosphere is a typical french bistrot and quite nice! Overall disappointing especially for the price you pay! We did get complimentary shots at the end! If you want a spot outside don’t forget to make a reservation!

Explore the Stunning Domaine National du Palais-Royal in Paris

The Domaine National du Palais-Royal, originally known as the Palais Cardinal, was constructed in 1633 for Cardinal Richelieu, the chief minister to King Louis XIII. Over the centuries, it has served various purposes, including as a royal residence and a cultural hub. Today, it stands as a testament to French history and architecture, featuring 17th-century arcades, lush gardens, and iconic art installations like Daniel Buren's striped columns.

Domaine National du Palais-Royal History Overview 

Nestled in the heart of Paris's 1st arrondissement, the Domaine National du Palais-Royal is not just a stunning garden and architectural marvel but a site steeped in rich historical significance. Originally constructed in the early 17th century, this landmark has witnessed pivotal moments in French history and continues to captivate visitors with its blend of royal heritage and modern art.

The story of the Palais-Royal begins in 1624 when the influential Cardinal Richelieu commissioned the construction of his own residence, known then as the Palais-Cardinal. Completed in 1633, this grand palace quickly became a royal residence after Richelieu's death, symbolizing power and prestige in French society. Its elegant arcades and gardens were designed to reflect the grandeur befitting such a prominent figure.

The Palais-Royal is famously linked to one of the most dramatic chapters in French history. In 1789, Camille Desmoulins, a passionate revolutionary, stood in its courtyard and called upon the citizens of Paris to rise up, sparking the French Revolution. This event transformed the palace from a royal residence into a symbol of political change and social upheaval, marking the beginning of a new era for France.

Beyond its historic significance, the Palais-Royal remains a vibrant cultural hub. The 17th-century arcades now house chic shops, theaters, and galleries that celebrate French art and creativity. A particularly iconic feature is the installation of Daniel Buren's 'Les Deux Plateaux' or the Buren Columns in 1986 within the Cour d’Honneur, adding a contemporary artistic dimension to the classical setting.
