      This cafe was next door to our hotel.
      We stopped in on our last night in Paris.
      Service was excellent! We ordered a couple of bottles of wine, as a night cap. Our waiter Ryan was welcoming & fun, great energy! Cozy / casual ambience for late night dining.

      Your go to French food!

      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.

      Dined here before the concert at Accor Arena. Steak Tartare was amazing. It's a quick walk over the bridge if your attending a show. No tourists here just Parisians.

      Sit outside under one of those heat lamps order a local beer or some French wine.

      Good food, excellent service, phenomenal atmosphere.
      Highly recommended, but, remember, their English menu is different from the French one.

      First impression: pricy. A bottle of beer runs between 6 and 9 EUR - in a place of casual setting.
      Burger with fries for 13:50 is acceptable.
      Setting is quaint and whimsical yet in a bar style way.
      Service was prompt, as we came for brunch ahead of the crowds. What irks me though, and this is common in Paris, is that people pretend not to speak English. I guess they are scared their place may be perceived as a tourist place. Well, grow up!
      Food was good but not memorable.

      All looking quaint. Well in Paris it is OK I guess.

      Let me first start out by saying that this restaurant is not in the best neighborhood and you may have a view of tents where the homeless people live. That being said we came here because of the reviews on Yelp and the food was great! The service was just ok. Our waitress was extremely busy especially when we were trying to leave since a hockey game just got out and every table was full with people who wanted drinks.

      We had to wait a bit since the menus are in french and my husband and I don't speak any french. The waitress was pretty helpful at explaining it and telling us what was on it. She spoke very fast and you had to pay extra attention to what she was saying.

      We started out with the cheese and meat platter as an appetizer and we both had the french steak with a salad and french fries. The steak was pretty medium rare, but was very good. If you don't like medium rare steak you may want to order something else since they don't ask you how you want your steak prepared.

      After our meal we had their creme brulee which was nothing special. It was good, but the same was we could get here in the US. After several attempts to get our waitress attention for our check she said she would get us the bill in 5 minutes. We waited for about 20 before we saw her again. Our dinner took about 3.5 hours.

      I would not recommend coming here if you are in a hurry. We wanted to try to make it to our 1 hour cruise, but couldn't since dinner took so long. The food is good, but I don't think we will go back if and when we come back to Paris.

      Wasn't sure if I should write this review in French or English. I'll go ahead and do it in English since i'm writing this review as a visitor.

      I came to Paris with a 24 hour layover and was brought here by a friend of mine who lives in Paris. We came for dinner after 9 PM and the restaurant was pretty full. The service was a little slow, but the waitress was for the most part pretty friendly.

      I read a little of the reviews on here and some of these people gave it pretty low marks. I have to say, that my dish was pretty good. I ordered the fish entrée and it was fresh and absolutely delicious! I even got crème brûlée for dessert which was amazing!

      The restaurant is located across the street from the metro so it's easy access when you are in Paris.

      We found this place on Yelp when we had a long wait for a train at Gare du Lyon. We were tired, hungry, and hot. We had delicious hamburgers, but the best thing was the Coin-Coin Salad (duck salad) which was amazing! Fall off the bone tender duck, deliciously seasoned potatoes, fresh greens, and a delicious large egg roll. The staff was very friendly and brought us drinks and food very quickly. We would definitely recommend this place!
