    It was a great night out. There were choices for vegetarian people as well as meat lovers. All of the plates were attractive and had unique presentation with great taste, surprises! It is worth going back. The music and vinyl records were very fun! A well stacked bar so you can order any drink you would like.

    Incredible food and wine list! Awesome service. It doesn’t feel like a super local place but it’s probably due to the location close to the Eiffel Tower. Had fish as a starter and fish as main course, paired with a usual choice of a redwine, but great combo still.

    We had one of the best meals in Paris. The food was amazing. The beef tartare was excellent. The mains were so good and the chocolate mousse was one of the best I have had. Our waiter Ian was great and suggested a great bottle of wine. He is very knowledgeable and was fun to talk to. This was a fun Parisian bistro with excellent service and food.

    The staff here could not have been nicer. We booked this because it was within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower. For was good. Drinks were good. The lamb shoulder was excellent, but was not hot when it was served. Just an oversight I think, I would go back!

    We started with the burrata, which was delicious. Then had the lamb. Melted in my mouth. Service was exceptional. (Hugo was a great host!) Will definitely go back!

    Great experience and great food/wine. Ian was our waiter and made the night fantastic with great service. You can’t see the Eiffel Tower but the atmosphere here alone makes up for that. Utterly fabulous evening.
