"I find this Plateau French stalwart as good as ever: despite a reputation that might suggest a tourist trap, the restaurant practices an admirable intemporalité and refuses to chase trends, which means it attracts a notably older crowd but delivers consistently. In straightforward dishes like an apple boudin and a guinea fowl terrine, chef Christian Darroman still shines; the food respects the principles of French cuisine “to the letter” and is served with a high degree of professionalism. The salmon tartare is the lone flop — bland and uninteresting — but there’s still lots to love, earning the place four stars." - Tim Forster
