Located just minutes from the Louvre 🗼, this is the spot for authentic yet affordable French cuisine in Paris 💫 🥂 Our Delicious Picks: • 🐌 Escargots (French Snails) €8 ➤ More about the ambiance than the taste - mild flavor like freshwater snails 😆 Perfect for saying "I've tried it!" • 🦆 Confit de Canard (Duck Leg Confit) €13.9 ➤ ABSOLUTE MUST-ORDER!!! Juicy, flavorful duck with crispy skin 🦆 The accompanying fried potatoes are crispy perfection - no greasiness at all • 🐟 Poisson du Jour + Wine Risotto €12.9 ➤ Blind menu choice turned out to be a beautiful surprise!! Rich sauce, tender fish, and wine-infused risotto that's simply divine 🥹 • 🥩 Grilled Rib Steak €13.9 ➤ Honestly just okay - similar quality to what you'd find in the UK 🇬🇧 Not particularly memorable • 🍮 Fromage Blanc au miel (Honey Yogurt Dessert) €6 ➤ Refreshing and light - similar to unsweetened Greek yogurt with perfect honey drizzle 🏡 Ambiance & Service: Charming French-style interior with vintage red signage 🪵 Cozy (read: tiny) space but full of character No reservation needed - walk-ins welcome but arrive early during peak hours 💰 Value Check: 4 people, €68.6 total!!
