    Great place. Food and service was good. I didn’t like being given an English only menu without being asked if that was what I wanted (it wasn’t). My dinner included boiled potatoes I never got. But still good food, good atmosphere, beautiful setting.

    Bonjour Lundi 21/07/2025 au soir au 1er étage A la fin du repas, nous avons constaté la présence de plusieurs souris se promenant au sol. Nous les avons montrées au maitre d'hôtel qui nous rétorqué " cela existe dans tous les restaurants parisiens. Nous essayons de traiter le problème. Elles ne vont pas dans les cuisines" Tout cela est très sympathique car nous avions invité des amis qui viennent de Californie. Il est très clair que je ne vais pas laisser cette affaire là Cordialement

    Lovely dinner in a beautifully appointed Bistro restaurant in the Bastille. Couldn't have picked a nicer more typical French restaurant to start our weekend in Paris!

    Der vorbestellte Tisch unter dem Dome stand nicht zur Verfügung. Wir mussten in der letzten Ecke im oberen Stockwerk an einer überhitzten Heizung Platz nehmen. Enttäuschung- zumal wir mindestens einmal im Jahr dort einkehren.

    Restaurant didn’t have our OpenTable booking - upon reading reviews whilst waiting for a table, we saw this was common. However, they did their best to seat us as a priority and we only waited about 20mins. Would recommend booking directly with the restaurant. The service at the table was exceptional and food (apart from the Ribeye steak, which was a bit gristly) was fantastic. Would definitely go back again the next time we’re in Paris.

    My go-to brazzerie in Paris. Everything on the menu is exceptional. Can be noisy and frenetic

    I made a reservation with open table but they arrogantly said that they use OpenTable. Zero for the way they talk. Zero!!! Never more
