Our meal was just a wonderful as it was 2 12 years ago when we visited here. I had the most incredible Sea Bass I have ever tasted! And my husband's lamb was just as scrumpious. We had a date to meet friends later for chocolate mousse at another cafe, but could not resist the fresh strawberries with creme fraiche.... More

This restaurant appears to be popular in this area, so a reservation would good for dinner. Although we came at the end of the lunch seating, the service was very friendly. The food was wonderful. Portions are quite large, so plan to share at least dessert if you get the prix fixe.

One of my favorite neo-bistros in Paris I had lunch there with my sister in November and 2 months later I still can feel on my taste buds the aroma and the marvelous blend of gustatory sensations that I loved during this meal there. Opened 12 years ago, this is a small restaurant that can seat a maximum of 45... More

After some signtseeing along the Seine River on a beautiful Spring day, our French hosts suggested that we go to dinner at one of their favorite restaurants near their workplace at the Pasteur Institute where we had a fabulous 3-course meal with wine (180E for four of us). The service was impecable and while the tables were somewhat congested, it... More

This is an amazing little restaurant that serves delicious French cuisine. When we arrived for lunch at 1pm on a weekday with our 2 year old, we were warmly welcomed. We had no wait though reservations would be recommended for weekends. The owner was very gracious with our daughter - bringing her a booster seat, some chalk and paper, and... More

We went with our friends who have been there many times and have always been very happy with the food. We finally went with them and don't regret it at all. It was excellent. Lunch menu is 25 or 29 euros so very reasonable. Food was nicely presented and most importantly tasty! We each were happy with our choices. Friendly... More

This is a small chic little restaurant just a few steps from the banks of the Seine. The owner was extremely helpful and made us feel immediately welcome. The food was really delicious - unusual but not too weird and cooked to perfection. Generous portions and pretty good value for money. Would definitely go again.
