Le Bec Salé — Restaurant in Paris

We were trying to go to another place (which turned out has a huge waiting line outside) so we searched for another place and found Le Bec Sale. The gentleman heard us speaking English between eachother so he immediately greeted in English (which is a huge plus for us as we feel comfortable when we are not cornered to guilt for our non existent French) He was very helpful with the menu, service was quick, food was really delicious. We ordered tandoory chicken salad and beef burger. Both were great. We will definitely...

Rather disappointing. The place is cute and the staff were very nice, but the food just wasn't that good. The Mauritanian appetizer sampler was just OK - pleasant, but was neither unique, nor flavorful. Could have gotten almost the same at most pubs. Meanwhile the beef tartare was just plain bad, having far too much ketchup and leaving this sweet taste in your mouth that wasn't very nice.

Personally, I'd pass on the food and just stick with drinks if...

Was overall a great meal. I thought it was a "French" restaraunt initially and just ordered something random and the creme brulee, but was suprised with a very indian-y dish that had fried egg, chicken and rice. Then I realised that it was actually a Mauritian place. It was a very tasty dish, kind of tasted like an airplane curry but actually good. The creme brulee was fantastic. I loved the ambience and eating here on a cool night in Paris...
