Italian Style Café — Restaurant in Paris

Visited here on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th March for dinner, whilst visiting Paris for the Half Marathon. Lovely little place which seems very popular with locals and visitors alike.

Saturday I had the pasta carbonara, which was more than adequate, and a lovely taste. The egg on top was a new one on me, but gave it a nice twist to the flavour. My wife had the burger and chips, which she said was one if the tastiest burgers she's ever had!!

Hot chocolate was very chocolatey, and the cappuccino was, well, a cappuccino lol.

Sunday (after the run) we walked around trying to find somewhere with a table but struggled and ended up back in here.

Wife had the escargot for starter (bit tricky but nicely presented and good taste), and I had the goat's cheese on honey toast. Gorgeous!

For main course I had the burger, and although I forgot to ask for it well done (yes I know, I'm a heathen), it was still very nice, with burger sauce, red onions and "fromage fondu" - creamy cheese sauce, and was probably tastier than if I'd had it cremated lol.

I had a pint of Goudale IPA, and the wife had a double Malibu and coke (just remember their single measures are 40ml not 25ml as in the UK!).

Service was adequate, and they humoured me with my mid-ability attempts at speaking French lol.

Overall a lovely restaurant, although extremely busy on the Saturday (we were squashed into a tiny corner, but were still not overly uncomfortable) service quick and unpressured, and very reasonable for Paris.

We would definitely return here, and recommend this place highly - if you can get...

My girlfriend and I were on our first trip to Paris and one evening we were looking forward to eat. We stumbled across this place. However to our surprise, the waitress seemed incompetent, constantly coming back and double checking our order, getting it wrong every time. My girlfriend ordered a rather expensive salad (12€) that sounded nice. When it arrived it was extremely disappointing: she received basically a whole piece of lettuce, bottom cut of but the leaves weren’t separated, three little tomatoes at the side, slices of avocado, and the smallest amount of dressing. Slices of cold chicken were laid on top. They didn’t even bother to MAKE the salad, just gave us the ingredients. I ordered a burger and got food poisoning. Would definitely...

It's a nice little café/bistrot in the XI Arrondissement. The Veggy Lasagna was delightful. The staff were very nice and accommodating (and are French-English bilingual, if that's something you require). My only complaint is that the front door was open the entire time---which would have been fine had it not been for the smoking allowance on the patio. Of course, that kind of thing is pretty common in Paris, so I'm not going to ding this place on it too badly.

Overall, it's a nice little place! It is small, but it's good all...
