Gotta love a midday lunch special! Unlike neighboring restaurants that only do the lunch deal…read moreduring the week, this establishment does it during the weekend as well, which we really appreciated on a Saturday noon, as we were starving from a long journey. Definitely recommend this! You get great value: plat du jour for 13, plat du jur plus appetizer OR dessert for 17.59, or plat du jour plus appetizer plus dessert for 19.50. We were famished so we got all three and thought this was excellent value. Filling portions AND delicious food. Rare find. It's either one or the other, especially in some arondisements.
Indoor and outdoor seating available. Full bar for all your needs. You can enjoy espresso or an alcoholic beverage all day, until 2am--continuous service, which is nice.
The vibe is very casual and relaxed. American rock and roll songs and classics like Michael Jackson and Bob Marley create a homey feel for American tourists like ourselves.
Staff are welcoming and super accommodating. We struggled with communicating in French, and all the staff were super kind and helpful, taking their time with us. We loved it so much that we returned for dinner the next night.
We tried the classic 12 euro beef burger, which was solid and filling. Tasty fries, not heavy or greasy at all.
Pork cutlets in white sauce and mash potatoes were solid. The steak and sauteed potatoes were divine. Keep in mind that the meat in Paris is chewy, and this is no exception. However, we still enjoyed steak both days when we ordered it. Worth the price. Especially if you get it as plate du jour, for only 13 euros instead of usual 22 market menu price.
The duck salad for appetizer had a lot of duck! Very filling for an aperitif. Great as a part of mid-day lunch special.
The desserts are made in house, so definitely give them a try. We loved the pistachio crème brulee, which was perfectly balanced and not sweet at all. Chocolate mousse was delicious as well--sweeter than crème brulee.
