Make a reservation as they do not accept walk-ins, you have been warned, and on that note, let's…read moretalk about the nitty gritty.
Our first night in Paris, we learned the hard way to take a Bolt to the Resturant only to find out they don't accept their walk-ins....
The second attempt was a go. I was able to book on their website. Our reservation was for 1PM.
We arrived at a packed house, and the owner greeted us and then asked for our reservation time. LOL, he doesn't play. Once he confirmed our reservation, he sat us down with menus. He asked what we would like to drink in French, and when my wife asked for a Coke Zero, he almost died, LOL!!! Realizing we weren't French, he explained in English that in a restaurant such as his, you must first drink a red wine before anything else.
So he poured us a glass each, and then he walked us through his starters.
We picked the liver patty and goat cheese herbs and olive oil.. Both were yummy, especially with the bread!
For the main courses, my wife ordered the ribeye medium with Potatoes Au Gratin and Bone Marrow. I wrnt more traditional with the Beouf Bourguignon, pommel vapeur (Beef Stew)
My meal was hitting on all cylinders, especially with the red wine. My wife enjoyed her plate but did remark her steak was chewy, then she would like...
Not dessert on these visits, and we had another place in mind...
Overall, the experience was awesome. The owner made us feel really comfortable and was very fun to talk with. In such a tight establishment, he really makes everything come together.
A definite must stop for lunch or dinner when in Paris.
