Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Super tasty desserts! The fondant au pistache and the brownie au chocolat were incredible! Also the atmosphere was welcoming and the music brought me back to when I was a bit younger."
"I love this place for breakfast or light lunch. I only wish they served the lunch selections a little earlier. Everything feels fresh and homemade. Love the vege bowl. Friendly service."
"This place was truly a treasure I came across in my last visit to Paris. First of all, the environment/decoration is beautiful and warm, the waiters, cookers and cashier were some of the coolest and most friendly people I’ve met in France. They were at the same time calm, yet quite friendly. They even “let me” practice some French, but also they really made an effort to make themselves be understood in English. And last, but surely not least, the food has great quality, fresh ingredients, savoury taste and appealing presentation."
"Such a good place ! You have both brunch and lunch options! Everything is amazing ! Try their gf brownie"
"fresh vegetables and healthy options for a quick lunch"
"I stoped for a coffee while my wife was having a haircut. Lovely place, small, smell of good food, fresh espresso."
"Amazing delicious food . The staff provided warm and courteous service . Chris the chef is just an I incredible cook . I’ve dined here twice and will return !"
"I managed to squeeze in a visit here before I left Paris and I'm so glad I did! Absolutely delicious food. It was so fresh, flavourful, and satisfying. My friend and I both ordered the beef balls stuffed with mozzarella and ooof, so tasty. The service was excellent. My only regret is not having any dessert which are apparently made in house! But just an excuse to come back and visit again."
