Let me first mention that the hours listed here are wrong...completely wrong. I didn't note them down exactly, but this place was open and crowded pretty much all day, every day, including Sunday! In fact, my husband and I sat down for lunch at exactly noon on a Sunday. While on our honeymoon and staying a couple of blocks away, we passed this place multiple times a day, and it was always hopping! We'd eyed it wistfully until the last day of our trip, when we stopped on our way to the metro.
We loved it here!! The food and service were great, and it was nice to find a place in Paris that actually seemed to have some healthier options. The portions were massive, but everything seemed fresh and natural. My hubby ordered the Sans Culpabilite, which consisted of grilled chicken with pesto, grilled red and yellow peppers, salad, and sun-dried tomatoes. It was so flavorful, good, and healthy! We both loved it! I ordered the Topissime Meli Melo: smoked salmon, two mini crostini with mozzarella, shrimp and avocado with creamy dijon sauce, and green salad. Also very flavorful, and a ginormous amount of food! I was only able to eat about half...though we HAD to order dessert, since it was our last full day in Paris. The nutella crepe came with two little chocolate cookie sticks, and was delicious. We scraped the plate dry (okay, I did)...and as a joke, the server brought me a small cup of just nutella. Had he not clearly been joking, I may have taken him up on it...
GREAT stop for lunch, guilt-free except for the crepe, and wonderful outdoor setting. My hubby and I will remember this type of Parisian cafe scene fondly! Loved it.
