Would love to come back here!

What an incredible dinner. I had heard about this place and decided to try it out. The owner was…read moreincredibly nice and spent time going over my questions. He also taught my husband and I the proper way to eat foie gras. We also got the escargot It did take a little while for the snails to cool down They were molten lava and they got to the table. Though the garlic and parsley went deliciously with the snails. The duck confit was incredible. The duck literally fell right off the bone. We did order a side of cheesy potatoes but the duck already came with potatoes so I probably wouldn't do that again. A gentleman next to us and it have ordering dessert and we were very intrigued by it. He had mentioned that this dessert was something he grew up with in Paris, and that he would dare to say Les Fabricants made it better than his mother did. After that raving review we had to try the ile flottante (floating island) It was incredible. The meringue on top of the custard went together so nicely with the caramel sauce. I would come back here for that dessert alone everything else being amazing too was just icing on the cake. The restaurant itself is more of a hole in the wall kind of feel. I wouldn't say it's upscale but it feels kind of like a homely place. Where you get good food at great prices. Make sure you bring cash because it's a cash only establishment. Otherwise I would highly recommend checking this place out and missing some of the more touristy areas.

My #1 fav classic French dinner we had in Paris. The food and the atmosphere were all great. This…read moreplace seems to be a certified, capital 'e' Establishment here in Paris. Vibey 30 somethings and those of us tourists that have begrudgingly figured it out. It is close quarters inside, but when in Rome. My bestie from middle school and I shared the escargot (bless you) pasta, which was delicious, and the duck, which was exceptional. We split a very fairly priced bottle of wine and ended the night with the scoop of mousse. If they could figure out how to do that intravenously, that'd be great. The mousse reminded me of a great guilty pleasure, which is eating straight out of the can of Duncan Hines chocolate frosting (ask me how I know, I do this often, going to rebrand it to me being European). Loved it here.

Expected to get a very, I dunno, Parisian experience so to speak. After eating at random…read morepatisseries, boulangeries and the gimmicky dinner at Moulin Rouge, it was nice to have a just regular meal at a French Bistro. It was a cute little spot with plenty of seating and a small bar right up front. The problem was that it's so cramped in there. They fully pack that place pretty tight in there. While they take walk-ins, they were so busy that had we not had a reservations we likely wouldn't have gotten a table in a reasonable timeframe. I think we waited about 15-20 minutes outside until our table was ready. As for service, while they weren't exactly rude, they for sure weren't exactly friendly either. This was also a spot that didn't cater too much to tourists by having English on the menu. I don't fault them for that though, it's their country. I would recommend having a translator app at the ready though with French downloaded. As for the food it was a bit of a letdown for me. We had a number of items to share with each other. Without having reliable signal in Paris, it was hard to use the translator app so I'll do my best with the foods. We ordered a ratatouille (don't think it was a traditional one though), a shrimp dish, white sauce pasta, escargot, duck breast and the chocolate mousse. The ratatouille was OK but was just like a roughly chopped cooked vegetable dish. The shrimp dish was fine as well but nothing standoutish. Our favorite dish was my friend's white sauce pasta; it was flavorful, rich and decadent but somehow not overpowering. The escargot, as expected was not good for me, but "When in Rome" (or Paris haha). It was just a weird chewy Thing that just tasted like oil and garlic with whatever herbs they used. I especially was off put by the little grains of sand or broken shell that was a part of each bite. The duck breast was a little bland if not for the sauce and it was also a tad tough as well. I will say the chocolate mousse was super rich and sweet; I couldn't eat that whole order by myself but it's nice to share for a little end of meal treat.

It's a small restaurant, but they seemed to fit a good amount of people in there. By 8:30pm, the restaurant was packed. All of the menu items are written on chalkboards that they carry around from table to table. Like previous reviews mentioned, the menu is in French. Be sure to ask for recommendations from the waiters or use Google translate to translate the menu. I ordered the Boudin Noir, which is a type of pork/sausage that you can only get in France. It was a very tender meat and extremely savory. It was well balanced with the mashed potatoes it was served with. The mashed potatoes were also done really well. It was super soft and fluffy. My wife ordered the grilled cod and veggies. She loves fish and was not disappointed by this. The service could have been a little better in my opinion. We were here for over 2 hours and the waitstaff were not as kind as we were expecting. All in all, the food was phenomenal and the price wasn't bad at all. I would definitely return to try other items on their menu.

Stopped in for breakfast before setting off back to Brussels…read more Sadly, wasn't much for me on the menu that wouldn't trouble a sensitive stomach, but my mother wanted a nice cappucino and also got a simple omelette with fries. All of which were very good. Overall, this spot seems like a really relaxing way to start off your morning. Really airy interior, attentive staff, plenty of natural lighting, and the food seemed pretty good. At least my mother had no complaints. Place started to pick up around noon as more people came in, but was fairly relaxed before then. Didn't see anything non-dairy on the menu, but I didn't really ask if they had options-- so no points off for that.

When I mentioned we were celebrating our engagement the waiter brought us over a gift. The price can't be beat for the amount of food. For 5 tapas and a pitcher of sangria it was under $60 euro. We highly recommend. Enjoy!
