Allergy friendly and delicious This restaurant was wonderful and very welcoming. The host speaks at least five languages and is very accommodating. They advertise gluten free pasta and pizza but many of the traditional French dishes are naturally gluten free. All of our food was delicious and we really enjoyed eating here.

Wonderful restaurant—very home-like. My first food stop in Paris. Delicious escargot. The happy host, Bruno, is a force to be reckoned with; he’s the highlight.

We stumbled upon this restaurant visiting the Notre Dame and were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the 15 euro menu so we could try several dishes. The staff seemed to be French and Italian or perhaps only Italian. For starters we had Goat cheese & honey salad Onion soup Crepe mushroom and cheese Next time we go back we’ll try the mussels, they looked amazing and a lot of people were ordering them. I’d also order the crepe mushroom and onion soup again. For main dish we had: Steak, pepper sauce and fries Pizza margarita Omelette cheese and ham The pizza was amazing, the whole table agreed we would come back only to eat the pizza again. For dessert we had Ice cream Chocolate lava cake Apple tartare Crepe Nutella We would definitely come back here!

Canadian friendly - The owner was very personable and made us feel welcomed. The service was quick and the food was honestly pretty great. The restaurant was very clean. We had the cheese fondue and the beef bourginion which were both delicious

I visited the restaurant on December 20, 2025. I chose this restaurant randomly, but it turned out to be a lucky choice. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. The service was impressive as well. The waiter served me patiently and humbly, making for a wonderful dining experience, complemented by delicious food and mulled wine.
