We queued up for the 7.15pm opening hoping to get a table (really recommend you book and maybe choose a table you fancy?) We had eaten breakfast here and fancied coming back as that was tasty enough. The staff can seem a bit offish but it just seems to be their style, our waiter was just very efficient without wanting a lot of eye contact/chat it suited us. Starters were snails and the most amazing gravlax salmon with fresh ginger on a bed of something like meshed nutty seedlings as they say 'a taste sensation' Main, linguine with huge prawns and toasted crunch crumb topping and tender steak/chips/salad/Gorgonzola dip. Desert a fruit salad with so many different fruits and cream topped with...
All the staff were, as expected exceptionally professional, friendly, helpful. We were seated although we did not have a booking, in the bay window overlooking the Rue Des Halles/ Rue Gambetta. Lovely atmosphere, time your visit carefully and you WILL get a table...My husband and son opted for the cote de boeuf for two, it was huge...a meat fest with marrow on the bone the works. I chose the marinated tuna steak (sesame seed,ginger,soya) pureed root vegetables, my daughter opted for a fillet of white fish with frites. We shared a starter of chipirones, a good portion. I found the marinade a tad over powering, but I usually prefer my tuna plain with a good salad so no fault of theirs. It was...
Large restaurant, but it quickly filled up this evening. Vi got an inside table, at the window, open to the outside, ideal to watch all the commotion around us. Foodwise, a well-assorted a la carte and some interesting daily specials; we had snails, duck breast and pasta with prawns, all to our liking. A good pomerol accompanied (nice to be in a country with only 2x markup to retail prices) and perfect service from the waiters.
Visited here after reading previous reviews and as it was close to the market. The staff were very friendly and we had a lovely breakfast.....I had the yogurt and muesli, the muesli came in a massive jar so I could help myself and our tea came with a pot of hot water so you got more than one cup.....both lovely touches.....would definitely go again

We went here with a large group, 25 adults and children, and I am in awe of the waiter who handled our table! The food was great, the kids challenged themselves with escargots, and the ambiance was absolutely perfect! We will definately be back!
Good lunchtime venue to watch the busy ambiance outside. Good food selection with many interesting menu options. Book if you can as it (deservedly) gets very busy.
We had a plate with snails to share and for main course the entrecôte accompanied as per usual with béarnaise and fries and a jug of green salad.

I love this placeWe came here twice, both times without a reservationThe tables book up in advance, but they made room for us at the bar.
A beef steak well done is something difficult in France. They have done it! Despite the crowd, the service was fast.
