"GREAT French cooking made with the freshest ingredients, served up without pretense or frill, and at a most reasonable price. Please take note: 1) What this resto lacks in formality and stuffiness, it makes up for in deliciousness and authenticity. 2) Both the menu and wine list are limited. Since every choice we made proved to be one worth savoring, I'm pretty sure you'll also be delighted and content this absolutely charming neighborhood gem."

"As quirky as can be, but a fun experience and the food was tradional and very nice. The owner does not speak English, but if you choose his recommendations, you can't go wrong. We had a mushroom soup, softly braised pork with lentils and pain perdu for dessert. If you prefer a modern restaurant with modern food, just go elsewhere, but if you would enjoy a culinary mini adventure in Paris, do come in!"

"Imagine eating at your quirky uncle’s place who is a magnificent chef. If you go without expectations of being in a normal restaurant, you can love it here. The food was excellent and great abnormal date idea. We waited a while for the service but the chef was delightful and we had a great time. Prices were excellent for the quality of food. You have to reserve in advance, and if you’re lucky he will let you in. "

"Lovely brunch or coffee place! Cute venue and great menu (a lot of avocados, eggs, coffee and fresh juices - a millennial’s dream lol). Perhaps the prices are higher than the norm, but it stay affordable :) Only downside is the wait when you come in during busy hours!"
