The space is a little crammed given the number of customers. Recommend getting here early to grab a table or bar seat.

The people around me seemed to pretty much enjoy the place, which is a good sign for me to go back. I'll definitely spend a bit more time over there to give more or less stars. To be continued... :)

The thing that stood out was that while I was sitting here drinking my beer this woman suddenly got up and started singing caberet, but then again this is France, so people singing Caberet shouldn't be all that surprising. The place had a lovely atmosphere, and like many of the small bars, was pretty quaint, and quiet, as well. Certainly worth checking out.

The onion soup was hearty and the goats cheese on toast salad was nice too. They were kind enough to leave out the lardons at our request. Does anything sound less appetizing than a lardon?

The beer list wasn't as long as I expected though, given the name! Unfortunately our waiter left half way through our meal and the guy who took over didn't seem particularly interested in giving us the bill or making us pay. He was far more interested in having a smoke outside, leaving the door open so that the customers could enjoy the sub zero temperatures outside.
