Just lovely - a true gem of the 13th and an awesome find! I almost wanna keep this place to myself…read moreactually! I live in the area, and every time I walk by this place Is always popping. I've always wondered: what is this place?!!? I MUST check it out! And check it out I did. I love it so much, in fact, that I have plans to come back again in 2 days. Yup - it's that good. This place is super laid back and chill, "ambiance bon enfant", super cool friendly staff, an open kitchen, cheap drinks, delicious (and affordable!!) eats, a chill + non-pretentious mixed local crowd, but I'll warn you that it can get a little loud with the music and every table shouting to each other to speak. If you're looking for a chill + calm night, perhaps go elsewhere. Drinks are cheap : 4.50 for a pint of pelforth (no HH) or 5.50 for the featured beer of the month. There's a full (and delicious) food menu if you get hungry, and you can even come here at noon for lunch or Sunday for brunch (where Irish + English breakfasts are featured woot woot).

I always eat at this small, local, totally authentic cafe whenever I stay in Bercy. Located away…read morefrom the touristy (and higher priced) venues, the chalkboard menu changes every time. Since I don't speak French, I rely on the friendly waitress or owner (cook) to tell me what to order and pair a bottle of wine. They have never steered me wrong, although they keep trying to get me to eat what I believe is the boiled cranium of some farm animal (apparently a traditional French dish). The Ef Coe Cut is a must as an appetizer...basically egg in a bowl with meat & mushroom sauce. Like many French restaurants, they close between lunch & dinner. If you arrive before 19:30, you may have to sit at the bar until they start serving dinner. If you arrive too late, you may not get a seat (there aren't many).

What a gem!!! Thank goodness for Yelp for steering us over to this amazing, wonderful, cute,…read moredelicious cafe that was 1 block from our hotel (but we never would have passed by without Yelp). We stayed in Bercy, so after a looooong 24+ hours of travel on planes trains and automobiles and checking in to our hotel, we were starving and headed straight here. We got here just before the lunch rush and easily got a table at around 12:30 (at about 1:00 people were being turned away). They did not really speak English here and I do not really speak French, but we made it work. The husband and I both had the prix fixe.... carrot soup, bread, wine, and I had the deer (I think....) in red wine sauce and he had pork of some sort over pasta in a white wine sauce. The carrot soup was possibly the best thing I tasted in Paris.... it was so flavorful, perfectly spiced, and fresh tasting..... It was wonderful. I did not leave one drop in the cup. The white wine paired well with it and tasted fantastic. My deer was very tender and the sauce was good... it came with a small cocotte of potatoes, which were tasty, but , unfortunately for me, the husband's pork/white wine sauce was better than my food. That sauce.... ohhhh that sauce was unlike anything I have ever tasted.... it was so good. I sopped it all up with bread, calories be damned! We had all of this for about 40 euro and it was worth every cent. If you are in the neighborhood, be sure to check this place out!

There are a plentiful amount of tables, but only one or maybe two waiters, but don't worry, they get to you quickly to take your order and O was impressed at how quickly the food arrived after ordering. The four in our group all loved our food, which ranged from the herring in oil, kids burgers, chicken with cream sauce, salad or a side of green beans. They were all great. We were excited to recognize locals eating here.

Lamb shoulder - The lamb was tender, but the highlight was the aligot potatoes. It was a bit of a presentation but they could emphasize that a little bit cause it's an attraction! The aligot potatoes were cool but just ok. Taste too much cheese than potatoes. May be more cream or less cheese will make the taste better. Nonetheless, it was not bad at all. Veal with mushroom sauce - mistake we made was ordered well done worrying that pink will be too rare. It was dry and not that tender. But it was our bad decision. The mushroom sauce was great in fact, the sauce was great with the aligot potatoes. Duck confit - The duck leg itself was tender as usual, only thing I would improve is to have a sauce to go with it. The meat was not dry but not juicy enough plus the meat lack flavor. A sauce will perfect it.
