Went here after seeing it featured on a YouTube video. It’s a bit of a ways from the city center, but it’s so worth it. The Metro station isn’t too far. The area it’s in seemed very low key, more like a residential area. Had a mix of locals and tourists at the restaurant.
Was surprisingly not too busy, but this was on a Monday night on Bastille Day, which may not be the best example. Made a reservation, but probably didn’t need to that day, but might be recommended for bigger parties or weekends.
Had the duck confit, and I’ve got to say, it was the best dish I’ve eaten in Paris! The skin is so crispy, and the meat is tender and juicy and flavorful. The potatoes it comes with are deceptively crispy.
Wanted to try the profiteroles, but was too full, so got the chocolate fondant instead, which was pretty good.
Even the baguettes they had were delicious! Crispy on the outside, while soft on the inside. If you had a saucy dish, would be perfect to soak up the leftover sauce on the plate.
If I ever visit Paris again, I would definitely come back here. Would like to try the sausages with mashed...
Read moreMy wife, her parents, and I found this place near our AirBnB for dinner. It was such a cozy little restaurant with a certain homely vibe. The waitress was very nice and accommodated our English & Spanish languages when reviewing the chalk board menu. We ordered the escargot to give it a try and half of us were not fans while the other half of us actually enjoyed the pesto-like covered dish.
For an entree we ordered a white fish with veggies, steak with fries, breaded turkey with white rice, and duck leg with potato coins (almost like French fries). All were very delicious with my duck meal being the best duck I have ever had and my best meal in Europe for this trip. My wife and I had a white and red wine too, which were both good. For dessert we shared an apple tart with vanilla ice cream that was superb.
Overall, we had wonderful service (thanks to Isabelle and others) and really delicious food at a place that felt like a local gem. I would strongly recommend this...
Read moreBooked for dinner on the last night of our trip. Arrived and spoke to Greg who shrugged and told us that the reservation had been cancelled, we’d received no text/email/call about this. He told us that WE had cancelled the booking to which I showed the confirmation email to prove this wasn't the case; it said confirmed, not cancelled. We were then groaned at and shoved on a back of house table whereby I was unable to get up and leave the table without moving my wife’s seat, moving the table around a metre out into the restaurant walking area and resetting again; completely blocked in. Couldn’t have been made to feel more unwelcome. One of the servers tried to bring the specials menu but Greg told him not to bother with us. We chose to leave and not give this restaurant the service. Never been so poorly treated in an establishment. Avoid,...
