"I was hoping to go 5 stars across the board. The staff had a great attitude but it seems like they may have been missing a waiter that night."

"Seasonal menu , 3 courses for 37 euro super worth it. Recommended by many of my French friends who live in the 17th. I got the mackerel as appetizer, and my friend the egg. Mackerel was really good, egg was nice. Mains were the durade fish- super well cooked and large portion. And desert the crème caramel was just amaaaazing! My friend got the strawberry cream which was very delicious too and well balanced. Would come back and recommend. Staff are nice"

"Had a respectable dinner with nothing outstanding or imaginative. Three asparagus, five mushrooms, maybe 100g spinach and an overcooked poached egg. No bread offered. Dessert was equally unimaginative, chocolate and cream. Not much more than what I can do at home but way more expensive. Will continue my quest to find value in Paris."

Max Persson 6 month ago

"It is an excellent restaurant with a menu of well-produced and presented dishes, as well as high-quality produce and wine. The only negative is that the dessert needed more distinct flavors to come to its right. It's worth a detour."
