She was also rough slamming utensils and dishes which was wild. Squid Ink Croquettes was very good in my opinion. Lots of ink and chunks of squid. Good flavor. Shrimp Ravioli in Seaweed Soup was more like a dim sum dish... A glass of white wine was €10 which is high. Butter was very good though as expected.

If I could only recommend one restaurant in Paris, this would be that place! I think this might be…read moreone of my favorite meals ever, not just on vacation. After a very long day in Disney Paris, my friends and I were starving and not looking to go far so we found this place right around the corner from where we were staying. The owner is this sweetheart who suggested we order three dishes each and then share everything. Three of us decided to share and one of the girls in the group decided to get three things for herself. We also paired the meal with a bottle of white and a bottle of rosé that completed our meal perfectly! What we ordered: - 2 scallop carpaccio - 2 mushroom risotto - 3 gnocchi - mini burger - stuffed peppers - white fish (don't remember the actual fish) ceviche - veggie quesadillas - mozzarella sticks Not one plate that was sent to us wasn't devoured. Personally, our favorites were the Gnocchi, soft and pillowy in the most AMAZING cream sauce, and scallop carpaccio, fresh scallops seasoned to perfection in a light acidic sauce. Even the dishes that I probably would never order in Paris like the mozzarella sticks, quesadilla and mini burger. We're also completely delicious. Actually the mozzarella sticks had the most insane, you can tell that these were homemade. Even with no room left in our stomach, we ordered dessert. We ordered two crème brûlée and two chocolate cakes to split and then a apple tart for the table. Crème brûlée was insane, a must order! When my friends left and I was in Paris by myself, I actually came back alone twice! When I went, it was around the Olympics, so the owner was so nice to come and sit with me and show me how to get cheap tickets online that I never would've been able to find myself. Such a sweet soul! The place is pretty small, they pack as many tables as they could in here. Make a reservation if you want to sit outside or come later in the night if you just want to walk in.

I believe it's different every time. Had the mushroom risotto, beef kafta, salmon tartar, crispy chicken, squid, and ceviche. Must say right portions and assortment for me.

Mistakes happen but it's how people deal with them that set them apart. they were super apologetic and then comped our drinks and got everything cleaned up. As for the food I found it pretty tasty. The clams were a unique preparation that strayed from the butter garlic wine sauce that is so common these days. The artichokes were tasty. The tomato and bread dish was great and the atmosphere lovely.

First we had the Fuet Catalan - a thin dried flavored Black Truffle sausage. The truffle oil oozed out of every bite. It was a truffle lovers dream come true!! We also order Les pintxos- a typically Basque with Fresh Ingredients piled up on toasted bread The Chèvre Miel was a creamy Goat cheese, drizzle of honey and sun dried tomatoes. Yup We also had the Chorizo & grilled Blue cheese It seriously was the best blue cheese I have ever had. For Tapas Rillettes de thon- Homemade tuna spread with olives & marinated anchovies. The anchovies seriously juscheemelted in your mouth. On the Plates & boards side of the menu we ordered... Cecina Et brebis truffle which is Salted cure beef from Leon, Spain and Black truffle sheep cheese & pine nuts Garlic bread and Serrano ham- Homemade garlic butter and 24 month cured Serrano ham. Nachos- Homemade guacamole, vintage cheese, salsa and peppers The nachos were made with seasoned chips that reminded me of cool ranch Doritos!

We are so happy we stumbled across this place on Yelp, as it is just what we were wanting (and the food was so good!) When we went there, it appeared to only be locals there (it isn't in a super touristy area), which is always a good sign. We ordered a few of the side plates (they were sold out of a few, but that's also a good sign), and some meats and cheeses. The wine selection was great and we enjoyed it, very much.
