They had no more whipped cream, and noticed we were sad about it and went to buy some for us. Besides that, every employee greeted us and treated us incredibly nice. The ambiance was really nice. Small, yet wonderful location, with enough room to serve my party of 5, immediately, and had plenty other customers enjoying the food. If I could give more then 5 stars I would.

B and I have been talking about trying desserts in Paris. I am big on desserts. So we stumbled into…read moreLe Stube. Then we found out that this place specializes in German pastries and cakes. B got a double espresso and the Sachertorte and I got the lemon meringue tart. My lemon meringue tart was delicious. B liked his sachertorte. Food wise would be 4 stars. So you ask why 2 stars. When the server bought the double espresso she spilled it allover the floor and B's white shirt. Coffee stains are super hard to remove. It was early in the day and B was left with a dirty shirt. She gave 5 euro off our food but she also got the coffee on my pants and shoe as well. Luckily my shoe is black and my pants were jeans. So it was not as visible as B's white shirt. She also got it on the guy sitting beside us. The carelessness really took the stars out of everything. It is embarrassing for B to walk around with a stained shirt. It was everywhere. Also the server didn't really know how to react quickly. she did try her best to clean it up quickly. I found it funny how she asked if she got the spill over our cloths. B shirt was obviously stained and can be seen with the naked eyes.

It gets busy pretty quickly after opening but showing up right at noon or making a reservation seems to do the trick. Many people are taking food to go anyway. The food was fantastic, so many salad options and a bunch of different savory tarts. You can pair the two together for an inexpensive, filling and delightful meal. The waitstaff was very patient with our limited French, and took the time to tell us what on the menu was vegetarian and what wasn't. And the majority of it was vegetarian! On top of it all, the restaurant itself was adorable.

I say "salad" but don't go thinking boring lettuce and pasta. Their salad bases range from sweet potato to quinoa to baby spinach. I've tried to reserve a table on multiple occasions, but they never seem to pick up the phone. Whenever I show up (at twelve on the dot, since it gets packed 'til there's no breathing room), the waitresses give me a quick scowl when I say "no reservation." By the time they seat me, their grudge is gone, and I've decided to order everything I saw at the counter on the way in. It all looks that good. I usually make a choice along the lines of two salads (you can get more), and maybe a tarte (quiche, pizza slice, Spanish-style tortilla composed of various vegetables). There are lots of assortments; you can even get a third salad. There are dishes of the day, options like chicken scaloppini (best to get with only one salad, as those breaded hunks are thick), mouthwatering cakes and other desserts that will tempt you on the way in, and a variety of sweet artisanal beverages. Don't bother with the funky flavored scones--they're small, overpriced, and not very tasty. Pro tip: sit on the ground floor if you can. The windowless basement seating area gets crowded and loud. Or, better yet, get your salads to go and eat them in the neighboring park!

My husband and I shared the Liver, pork chops, and white asparagus. All were tasty but the Liver was by far the best thing I tasted while in Paris. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a fan of liver in general and this completely changed my mind. It was cooked to perfection and the mixture of flavors was spot on. The only issue we encountered was when we were presented the check at the end of the night. We had proactively asked that it be split by couples, however that didn't happen off the bat so it took a bit longer than usual to check out.

But it's not torrential like in some cities, and oh, this city glows, the streetlights and shoplights and restaurant lights all reflecting in the wet. I decided that, being in Paris, I can't resist treating myself to another meal out, and I turned to Tripadvisor again. It's a funny thing, Tripadvisor. It attracts the worst and best opinions on each review, from people you might adore in person to others you wouldn't want to be within 20 feet of. If restaurants are too good, they attract sour people. Often, highly rated restaurants seem to have some general appeal to tourists and obvious consistency, but seem perhaps odd to be rated among the top restaurants in the city. The highest rated restaurant in my neighbourhood in the 7th arrondissement seems a very plain Italian place with a boring menu of pizza and pasta that was empty when I walked by it tonight. Still, I think that there must be some sort of crowd wisdom to put a restaurant at, say, #1634 out of 12,797, like the neighbourhood bistro I went to tonight, as compared to those in the 4000's and 5000's in the vicinity. So, Cafe Trama. I called up to see if I could get in and was told that they *could* fit me in as long as I was out by 9pm. It was a quarter to eight so I thought I'd be fine, and indeed when I arrived, there was only one full table in the restaurant, a group of French and German work colleagues I think. Of course, I was seated right next to them, and at a table in the style I'm getting used to, where they have to shuffle it around in order to fit you in. Still, the service was super charming, and for some reason, my French gets better the nicer they are. The waitress had full knowledge to be able to recommend wines to me, and I had a fruity but dry white wine to go with my Pork Rilette, which neighbours on both sides of me ordered as well. I wish I was like the two young Frenchwomen next to me and able to split it. It was delicious, but too rich and large a serving for only me. My next wine was a Sainte-Foy Bordeaux, Chateau du Champs des Treilles 2012, slightly chilled and with a bit of body to go with my veal cheeks. It was SO good. My main was so beautiful presented, the individual vegetables arranged artfully. They'd been stewed along with the veal cheeks, so didn't have a lot of texture, and I found the dish a little salty, frankly, but the cheeks were tender and had a bit of chewiness that I liked too. Could I exercise restraint on stop there? Ban non! I finished with a berry clafoutis, basically a lovely custard pie. I like that it was a relatively simple dish to finish with. This bistros seem to focus on creating beautiful simple dishes, perhaps traditional with a twist (as next to me, they'd ordered croque monsieur for dinner!), something pure and direct about its composition. I find it hard to give ratings these days, though I notice that I give a lot of 4 out of 5 stars. Would I rush back for the food (indicating 5 stars)? Not really. It was lovely but not extraordinary. But it was certainly not average. The thing is: if I was to rate a restaurant based on how I feel, to be in Paris, high on life, feeling lucky to the gills, that would be a 6 out of 5. So, I think based on how charming this restaurant is, and the wonderful, superb, friendly and skilled service, I'm going to give it a 5.
