As a Parisian, this place has been on top of my list and the one must-try restaurant I recommend to all my visiting friends ever since I discovered it by chance on a dreary post-Christmas day when most eateries were closed. It's the kind of place you share only with your best friends, and can't wait to go back to.
It's the epitomy of the perfect small Paris restaurant with great food (the tiger beef is amazing!) carefully curated wine selection, all at affordable prices (about 20 € for a main course).

We are happy to have found our neighborhood bistro. We can’t wait...
