One of the best French restaurants I have been to since arriving in Paris in terms of food quality, feel, and service. My girlfriend arrived around 10pm on a Wednesday night and found the restaurant still very full of a mostly Parisian crowd (which needless to say is unusual at many "French" restaurants in this city). One of the employees (I believe she was the owner) came over and took the time to explain every single item on the menu, from entrée (appetizers) to plats (main dishes) in English (since my girlfriend doesn't yet speak French) and was incredibly sweet and accommodating. The menu provided us with three main dishes to choose from: veal, steak, and fish. Simple, elegant, and far from the overwhelming selection at most restaurants nowadays. The wine list was also very well-stocked with wines from all over the various regions of France. For the main dish, I took the fish (poisson) and my girlfriend took the restaurant's version of "steak-frites." Both were absolutely incredible. The steak was perfectly cooked, the potatoes were fresh and very well flavored and crunchy, and the accompanying sauce paired extraordinarily well with the dish without overwhelming any of the original flavors of the meat or potatoes. The generous serving of fish was perfectly cooked to the point of crumbling at the touch of my fork, very moist and flavorful, and covered with clams, mussels, vegetables, and had a perfectly light and citrus infused sauce. For dessert, we shared a gâteau au chocolat that looked simple (and not overly impressive) but more than made up for in a remarkably rich and complex chocolate taste and a dollop of amazing homemade whipped cream.
Overall, fantastic and authentic French food, friendly and genuine service, and an excellent choice for a nice dinner any night of the week. Merci à vous!
