We pulled out the "we're Americans and will eat fast and leave" card that has come in handy in so many places in Europe when we don't have a reservation, and the table was ours. Quite possibly the best fresh-squeezed orange juice I've ever had. The coffee was great. The French toast was definitely the best I've ever tasted and out of this world. My Tartine and my wife's avocado bun were equally amazing. I could eat here every day.

The explosion of spiciness, the sweet and sour, the crazy succession of dumplings, I get it but sometimes we just need to go back to our roots and rediscover the humble flavors of our childhood. "Les anges gourmands"is a bloody good caterer. Nothing pompous but don't misinterpret what are said, it is far from basic. Nobody really cook elaborate dishes for lunch time on a daily basis like those ones. It feels good to be offered for a very reasonable price a traditional french meal. At first sight the menu format may appear tricky but in reality it is well design to satisfy all the types of customer base. For the manly workers: lasagna, blanquette de veau, hachi parmentier, feuilletés with spinach. For the corporate workers cautious about calories: protein like rotis de porc, tomato beef boulettes combine with a large choice of salads : lentil with lemon, veg julienne, cabbage with bacon strips. They even offers a soup of the day. NB: The place is crowded by workers at lunch time and adds to the bistrot atmosphere but they also have a take away option.

Reservations would probably be a good idea.

We were led to the back, to the jardin d'hiver which was warm (too warm--we had to get up and turn off the space heater) and sparsely decorated with plants and bamboo. I was tempted to get up and try another restaurant as soon as I saw the waiter carrying the veggie couscous broth over to a neighboring table, his thumb casually resting in the sauce as he held the bowl by its lip. If we weren't in a large group, I would have gotten up and left right then, but instead made a mental note to order a tagine, since the temperature of the dish would ensure that his fingers wouldn't slip into my food. We couldn't all order tagines, since they apparently did not have enough clay dishes to go around, so half of us ordered tagines of different varieties (lamb, kefta, chicken) and the other half ordered couscous. In the end, some tagines were served in regular bowls. Strike two: when the semoule was served in large family style pots, we discovered a hair nestled neatly in the top layer of the serving bowl. It was quickly removed and the meal continued. Then came strike three. The waiter offered an orange blossom cream dessert for my friend with candles for his birthday (the occasion for this lunch) and, sitting right on top of the chocolate-drizzled cream, was a long curly hair! One hair could happen. On the way from the kitchen to the table, perhaps. But twice in one meal, and a finger in the soup? Not okay. And if that still seems benign, my partner and I had digestive issues later in the day, something our adventurous tummies aren't accustomed to. It was kind of La Baraka to offer us a birthday treat and the 2€ mint tea at the end, but if they can't master the basics of food safety, the gesture doesn't count in my book.
