L'Attirail Cafe — Restaurant in Paris

We stumbled upon Cafe L'Attirail when we were exploring town. This place was a very affordable and traditional restaurant near where we were staying. Very good service, as well. It is a small restaurant located in a narrow street and is opened late, unlike the other restaurants in the area. Just before we entered, a thick strong smell of cigarette smoke rushed into my nose. I heard lots of laughing, and talking. Clearly, it was a place for locals to enjoy dinner with their friends late at night. We were given a seat at the front of the Cafe; it was a little cramped with only two small tables and stools to sit on.

The waiter was kind when he asked us what we wanted to order. Around us, all the other meals on the other diner's dishes looked very good, and we took a bit to find out what we wanted. Finally we agreed on ordering duck, rabbit, and steak, all at a very reasonable price. They served wine, and the food came quickly.

The duck was very tasty, and was served with seasoned diced potatoes. On the side there were also salad greens and vinegar dressing. This was a very satisfying meal.

The rabbit had a very smooth texture, and tasted almost like chicken. It was served with delicious noodles in cream sauce, and the same potatoes that we loved.

Steak. This was truly our favorite and we ate every last bit of it. It was slightly sweet and soft.

I really enjoyed my stay, just because I actually felt like a true Parisian! I highly recommend this place if you are craving French food that is opened...

Des serveurs et une direction exécrables qui à peine nos boissons finies nous arrachent les verres et nous mettent dehors au plus vite, sous prétexte qu'il "faut consommer", même si on a déjà payé, ce qui en plus d'être franchement désagréable, est illégal selon le code de la consommation. Pour avoir travaillé dans un bar, leur comportement est juste à vomir. La relation à la clientèle est pourrie et on attend souvent très longtemps avant de pouvoir commander, tout ça pour une bière médiocre dans un bar bondé. On est bien mieux traité au bar à quelques pas, "la petite porte" pour des prix similaires et une ambiance plus sympa. Le serveur a été extrêmement impoli avec nous, et je fréquente assez de bar "pour jeunes" (voir la réponse du bar) pour savoir que c'est pas une façon de s'adresser à ses clients, qu'importe le type et l'âge de la clientèle. Il y a différence entre ne pas être un service 4 étoiles et avoir un comportement irrespectueux, insultant vis à vis de ses clients. Malheureusement, l'Attirail Café ne semble pas saisir...

One of the cheapest place to get a beer in Paris (€3,30 for a pint 24/7), nice little plates of grilled potatoes handed over freely - even if they tend to get smaller and smaller. However, some of the staff members are not very nice. But I would still absolutely recommend the place because of how cheap...
