This was an absolutely outstanding surprise in the neighborhood. Apparently the owner runs another restaurant in Montmartre. Anyway, the food is nuanced and sophisticated, in an approachable way. The Tarte Tatin d'oignons is absolutely delightful, perfectly caramelized on the outside, with a to-die-for sauce that my normally "keto diet" partner sopped up with bread(!) off my plate. The boeuf to share was solid and on point--good mix of steak and fat, done to true medium rare, with a delicious gravy. The soufflé then blew me away again, perfect crunch and inner softness, paired with a subtle homemade orange-infused vanilla ice cream. The wine list yielded a terrific grand vin from Bourgogne (Savigny-lès-Beaune). Service was so friendly. The ambience is again nuanced and sophisticated in an approachable way.

If I lived in Paris, I would be a...

Read moreThe reataurant's specialties are good (such as the Onion Tart) but the menu pricing (€55 or €60/person) is exhorbitant for what you get and it is also confusing, even for the staff as we really should have been charged for 2 people (given we ordered for the equivalent of 2) but staff insisted we pay for 3 as we were in fact 3 people. The extra €60 was poor form by them if only out of principle. As for the experience, it was poor to very poor. We felt like we were disrupting the waitress's night and we were only 1 of 3 tables they had during our stay. Overall, food is good but not worth the price nor the hassle of getting to the location (for most people that are...
