Small but comfortable thanks to red leather banquetes, a tiled floor beneath brass ceilings and walls full of art, it is from a paper ledger that reservations are confirmed prior to seating at wood tables that require being slid aside to gain access. A locals sort of place, though the menu does offer English translations, fans of Bistro fare will find all the staples complimented by daily specials while the Wine list runs long yet quite affordable. Well-suited to families, especially on Sundays when so few Parisian Restaurants are open all day, starters come in the form of Escargot or French Onion Soup plus sizable slabs of Foie Gras and the chunky sort of housemade Terrine one rarely encounters outside of France. Far more affordable than tourist favorites, its place in the 11th undoubtedly part of the reason, main plates see Confit Duck done well without any fuss while Pepper Steak and Sweetbreads in reduced Soy are generous in terms of portion and flavor. Not a spot to skip Dessert, all but Ice Cream made on site, Chez Paul's Baba is denser than Ducasse's but no less delicious while the Œufs à la neige and Tarte Tatin are each classics prepared the right way.

I was unaware the restaurant has no air conditioning and I was visiting last week during a heat wave. For a fine dining restaurant they really should have more fans in the dining room. They had a small one in the section I was in. I ordered an octopus small plate and a chicken entree. I also got a cocktail that the server recommended to go with the chicken. I never got the entree. When I told one of the servers, they offered to bring it but my friend was done with his entree so we figured we would move on to dessert. So I told them I would pass. Then the server who took my order came over and tried to tell me that I did not order the chicken entree. Not only is that rude, but it's also uncalled for. Why would I make that up? He recommended me a cocktail to go with it! He spoke perfect English so I don't believe anything got lost in translation. Then I ordered dessert because I was treating my friend to dinner for his birthday. We both ordered espressos. They only brought mine. The restaurant is of course beautiful and very instagram-able. But the service was very disappointing, and the expensive food quality does not merit the poor service or the beauty of the restaurant. I would much rather go back to Laperouse in Paris. Worth the money, great service, and the soufflé is incredible.

Your go to French food!…read more I've been twice and the food here is simple yet good. Service for French food is made to order, so you may be waiting a bit longer than us Americans are used to. The service isn't exactly like "rude", my server just didn't check on me as I'm accustomed to. After orders, the drinks come quickly and a bit after, the appetizers. It was a good at least 20mins until my food actually came. (All five of our plates.) I went on a weekday for dinner and it wasn't too busy. I believe service like this is normal in France. So I just wanted y'all to be aware of this! The cheese board is always an easy go to for everyone. Their cheese is of course amazing. The sliders are small but soooo tasty. I recommend everyone to order it at least once. When the food actually comes, depending on what you order, it's quite a lot. Lots of the orders come with fries which is always a plus. Steaks are cooked perfectly to however you like. Most plates are on the heavy side and packed full for hungry people. Even though we couldn't finish our plates, I always want dessert. Their tiramisu was ok. It's more mousse like and not as much espresso flavored in that it lacked the amount of lady fingers which I was looking for. If you do get it, I recommend sharing. Creme brûlée of course is always an easy enjoyable dessert but nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, this place is still tasty for the most and I'll be coming whenever I'm in town.
