The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version.

The menu changes with whatever the chef finds at the markets that day, and it never disappoints. Every meal showcases ingredients at their freshest, prepared with creativity, restraint, and a deep respect for classic French cuisine. What keeps drawing me back, however, is more than the food. There is an authenticity here that has become increasingly rare. The dishes are never contrived or designed for social media. Instead, they celebrate the simple elegance of French cooking, where impeccable ingredients and flawless execution speak for themselves. If you want to experience the kind of neighborhood bistro Parisians treasure, rather than a restaurant catering primarily to tourists, L'Ardoise is as close to perfect as it gets.

There are two tables essentially in the kitchen (a true "Chef's Table" arrangement) and maybe 6 tables in the adjoining room. We were welcomed warmly. Deborah was the hostess and server. Chef Hugo is visible in the kitchen, working very hard to make everything just perfect. They brought bread immediately (my husband loved the sliced baguette--it was perfect and chewy as it should be, but not hard). We ordered a bottle of wine, a Macon Villages, which was perfect. I had the cucumber salad appetizer, which was so fresh. My husband ordered the ravioli appetizer--tiny little rectangles in a scrumptious sauce--a work of art. I ordered the fish and shrimp plate. The sauce was amazing and it was a huge portion of tender white fish. My husband had the lamb with frites. It was nicely seasoned & perfectly done. For dessert, my husband enjoyed a chocolate treat and I had refreshing raspberry sorbet. Deborah was so friendly and solicitous throughout the meal. I have never felt so well taken care of. (I have seen some comments from people who are unhappy that they can't just walk in. They don't appear to understand that there is only one seating. People arrive when they do and they linger. Empty tables seen from the street do not mean the place is not fully booked. Make a reservation well ahead of time. It is worth it!)

After waiting in line, I expected something truly memorable, but it turned out to be just a good sandwich, nothing more. If you happen to pass by when there's little or no queue, it's worth trying. But if there's a long line, I'd skip it and head to one of the many other excellent sandwich shops in Paris. For me, the wait simply wasn't justified.

Luca Recommended a meal with a mashed potatoes and sausage with French bread and salad and it sounded tasty so I gave it a go! All the flavors went well together; mashed potatoes were well seasoned the sausage had a good flavor, and the salad with the vinaigrette added a crunch in an extra flavor as well. I drank a French hard cider while I gobbled up my meal, which also was new for me and tasted great after I was done my meal. Luke brought me a shot with rum and some other ingredients, including lemon that definitely hit the spot after a good meal.I recommend Brasserie Belanger for anyone near GDN Train Station that enjoys great food and patio dining.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck.

The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing.

Café Mademoiselle was nearby, had a sidewalk full of diners, and I grabbed a table quickly, fearful of getting shut out of lunchtime offerings entirely. I should know better than to order a salad in Paris. Not that they'e bad, simply that they're quite different than California salads. Quite different and not as appealing in my opinion. But another dish was also ordered at my table, an unusual choice for the two of us dining there. It was a special of the day, Araignee de Porc (23€), and not something I'd personally have chosen. It was delicious. French chefs know what to do with this cut of meat (pork) and I was wowed. The salad (Salad Nicoise, 23€) was almost forgotten as the pork dish took center stage. Service here is terse. The restroom is down a steep flight of stairs. The place serves many tourists, and does so in a manner that doesn't inspire one to harbor overly fond memories. But here's the recipe for success: find out what the chef's special is that day and order that. That's how you do Café Mademoiselle.

During our first visit, we experienced their winter menu, so it was exciting to return and try a completely different seasonal offering. One of the things we appreciate most about L'Ange 20 is how they embrace fresh, seasonal ingredients. The spring menu showcased beautiful vegetables and flavors that made the experience feel entirely new while maintaining the quality we remembered. The wine list continues to offer excellent value, with reasonably priced bottles that pair perfectly with the menu. Just as memorable as the food is the staff. They remain some of the friendliest people we've encountered in Paris and are wonderful conversationalists, especially for those of us who don't speak French fluently. This visit, we were seated at a tall table near the kitchen, which turned out to be one of the highlights of the evening. We had a front-row seat to the interaction between the owner and his staff. It was clear that he runs a tight ship, and watching the teamwork and attention to detail helped explain why the restaurant consistently delivers such an exceptional experience. For starters, we enjoyed the Crispy Warm Goat Cheese Salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. My entrée was the Grilled Veal Medallions, and they were outstanding. The veal was incredibly tender and practically melted in my mouth. One of our favorite traditions when dining here is staying until near closing time. As the evening winds down, it's fascinating to watch the staff transform the restaurant for the next day. Seeing firsthand how hard everyone works behind the scenes only increases our appreciation for the delicious food and warm hospitality they provide every day.
