Seeing a lot of negative reviews because of rude staff and below average food. Well, my personal experience was the opposite. Very friendly server and loved our food. He even did not ask for a tip! And we went twice. Maybe it depends on who your server is. Also, probably stick to menu items with high probability of satisfaction. Anyway, if your hotel is in the area or you’re at the Eiffel Tower, I can recommend trying this place if you don’t feel like dinner at a “fine restaurant”. Don’t go in expecting a gastronomical experience but think more along the lines of comfort food. The tuna pizza and crepe were satisfying. Banana Split was great! The bistro is at a busy interaction so expect a fair bit of street “ambience”.There is both outdoor and indoor seating. While harmless, if you don’t want to be near a vagabond passing by the area (it’s Paris), then consider sitting inside. Pricing is not "cheap" but not exorbitant either. Just keep in mind, generally, tipping is not an expectation in Europe but a genuine acknowledgement of great service.

I urge you not to eat here, this was possibly one of the worst places I have ever eaten in, not just because of the food but the overpriced menu, rude/abusive staff, dirty surroundings, just awful. Because it is located so near the Eiffel Tower they overcharge on everything. We asked the waiter (he seemed like the manager actually as he was wearing something different to the other staff) for a kids menu, no kids menu, so my wife chose to share a pizza with our Son for 13.50 euro, ok not bad for a pizza in Paris, I ordered Carbonara 13 euro again not bad on price, we ordered two 5 euro diet cokes, a 5 euro still water and the waiter took our menus. Then in a very forceful French accent "you want garlic bread, one, two, three, four how many" and stupidly instead of saying how much (as he cleverly had our menus at this point) said OK we'll take two small garlic breads. "Ok, ok, you want large coke, medium coke for Son, you want to order dessert too" ok this is starting to get irritating, "look just give us the cokes". Garlic bread came, was bland, pizza came, was ok, 20 minutes later no carbonara, I asked for it and the waiter had a bill in his hand, hold on I've not had my main course, we waited another 20 minutes for a tasteless carbonara, but we said nothing just got on with it. We then got a bill for 67.50 euros, how is that possible for this very poor quality food? The large coke he brought me was full of ice (I mean this was probably a small can of coke in a huge glass filled with ice) this was 16 euros and the medium coke came the same full of ice (with probably less than a can of coke in) and that was 8 euros. Two slices of garlic bread 17 euros, what now. I called him over and said what is this bill? I felt very duped, he the started shouting in the restaurant and being abusive to my wife saying he was going to call the police, to which I said "ok lets get the police here". he went off, came back five minutes later and said he'd spoken to the police but they could be here in 5 minutes, 1 hour to two hours, more, I said "I'll wait". He then said "ok here's what we'll do. I will pay out of my own pocket for half of your large coke and you pay the rest" anyway long story short, we paid the bill and walked out. I think the worse thing about it was the abuse, with everyone else looking on in wonder, nodding like good on you this is an awful place.

BEWARE. I don’t think you’ll find any of my reviews negative but my experience here was not a good one. The issue was simple. I had asked for Tap water and instead served bottled water. I had made it clear I wanted tap water but then the server or manager came back with a bottle of water and proceed to opened it and pour it while I asked for tap water. He acted as if he did not understand what I was asking for. Not long after a couple sat next to me and they were given tap water. It was clear that the manager took advantage of my lack of the language. I made one of the servers aware that I had wanted tap water not the bottle. He then brought me the tap water. When the bill came I kindly asked for the manager and explained to him what happened. He refused to help claiming that it was I who ordered and opened the water. He became rude and unwilling to consider that I was telling him the truth. I had to pay for a water that I had not ordered. Long story short they will charge and upsell you on things you didn’t know are free, like water. I would never recommend anyone go here. FYI, the it’s a convenient location, right around the corner is another pizza place.

Has been the worst Experience in Paris. The service just awful, and the food is unedible. We ordered 3 cheese pasta and a 4 cheese pizza. Pizza was not bad, comparing to the pasta. First the pasta is presented dry, on top of its so called sauce, which tasted like dirty water, no salt, no flavor or anything good, pasta tasted like flower or someting like that, and not even after adding salt and pepper the pasta got any better, also the pasta itself was of the worst quality possible. We mentioned this to the waiter, who called his superior. This man came to us already defending himself, very loudly. We talked to the man, saying it was inedible, and that I wanted another plate, to which he replied "impossible", mentioning that I can't eat another plate. Serious, it not a quetion of taste, it's bad quality food. At the time we asked for the complain book, and they told us "in france there is no complain book". At the end we were charged 2€ per item,since it was New year eve, even the pasta that was not eaten. And the 1L water bottle was 10€. Trap for turists

Ottima location in stile parigino. Le crepe da provare!! Le muoles 🤩. La loro clientela è di passaggio quindi sono un po’ sbrigativi nel servizio ma tutto sommato sempre gentili ed attenti. Consigliato💪💪💪
