They do have an English menu, but the translation isn't exactly correct. Everything started well with some delicious wine and escargot. Then we ordered entrees and what we got was definitely not what we thought we ordered. It was so different, in fact, I almost sent it back thinking it was someone else's order... ha! The food was ok, we both somewhat accidentally ordered cheese on salad or essentially sour cream and potatoes maybe? It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't amazing. I bet they have some great food here, but we just didn't get most of it.

She was right, it's a lovely little deli with a few tables out front and and an adorable back room (derriere Derriere) filled with mismatched furniture, funky lamps and thrift store finds. The decor is as chilled and relaxed as the pleasant and helpful service. The manager/owner was kind enough to fit us in last minute during a crowded lunch hour and serve us very quickly as we only had 35 minutes to eat. The one failing I found with this place was the food. I have no objections to small menus - I find they tend to mean a kitchen focuses on what it can do well - but this menu was pretty stodgy for a warm August day. N's polenta and breaded swordfish was tasty enough but very bland and unexciting and my aubergine lasagna was made up of very thick slices of aubergine which never quite cooked through, and a pretty boring tomato sauce in dire need of herbs and seasoning. All in all the ambiance is lovely and perhaps if you go for a glass of wine and some things to taste from the deli counter it's a better experience? I was a little sad it had to be said as I so wanted this cute place to have food to match.

Our server was very kind and patient. The ambience was very calm, with low, but relaxing music perfect for chatting without shouting. The gendered bathrooms were clean and modern. There was also a family / accessible washroom. The food was delicious. The four of us shared a bottle of cider, which was quite nice. My boyfriend and I shared a salty crepe, and they actually split it and served on two plates which was nice. Then we shared la Belle Helen on a single plate and that was amazing! Would highly recommend this spot, and would like to go back and try some more things!
