Our server was extremely friendly and was able to explain the options (as well as vegetarian options if we opted for those) on the prix fixe since EVERYTHING looked like a delicious option. You cannot make a wrong choice. As each course came out of the kitchen, I never wanted them to end! It was my most enjoyable meal I have had in Paris thus far and one of the most reasonably priced as well. We took our time catching up over our dinner and did not feel rushed at all as the restaurant started to fill up. For my dessert option, I chose the Tarte Tatin and would literally stop by for that as a meal every day if I could. Actually, come to think of it, I guess there isn't a reason not to...

The first time we went, we were seated promptly around 7PM (when they open for dinner). We decided on the Daily Special, which included appetizer, main dish and dessert - All for 21.50 Euros (March 2015). I got the rabbit which was good, but not excellent, but my BF got the pork dish and it was Sublime !! So much we went back the day after and we both got the Pork. This second night, the same pork was made slightly different (Sauce), but still very good. They usually fill up around 8PM so reservations are essential !!

It is small, intimate, and walking in for the first time gives you the sense that you know the place. This is soon followed by feeling like you made a good choice if you travel to find local color and flavor. I had a beer on my first visit on a Friday night. Perhaps it was more than one. Each order was recorded in a ledger at the end of the bar. On my second visit on the following Sunday, i had the charcuterie and red wine. My two meats and two cheeses -- I asked the bartender to pick -- were delicious and almost more than I could eat. I sat in a worn-out high backed chair and listened to American jazz from the trio behind me. They stopped playing too soon for my taste and the small place, crowded, thinned out quickly. Apparently the real Parisians had a new week ahead for which to prepare. This faux Paeisian was happy to linger and will be happy to return.

Our recent trip to Paris, not surprisingly, entailed a lot of nice food and wine. On the day we…read morearrived we wanted something close by the hotel so opted for Vivant Cave for dinner. It is a very narrow small space where the bar takes up a large part of the entire premises and behind it the chefs are working on creating the nice small or mid-sized plates. There is seating all along the bar as well as at a few tables that have been crammed in at strategic places. There are also several wine fridges lining the wall opposite the bar. The restaurant used to be owned by Pierre Jancou but he has now moved on to new projects. I had not read up on the new chef before but being seated at the bar and having the chef take the orders for us I right away heard the unmistakable Swedish accent. The new chef is indeed Swedish, Svante Forstorp , but while relatively new at Vivant Cave he has plenty of experience from before for example from Aux Deux Amis. He makes some lovely small dishes behind the counter, the limited space does not seem to bother him at all. Not only is the food very good, it is also great to watch him at work. I am of course a bit of a sucker for the open kitchen but I am a firm believer that it keeps restaurants honest. We opted for a selection of different dishes but among the highlights were the asparagus, the spicy pasta (chili and fresh lemon) as well as the smoked foie gras with cabbage. The place is known to have a good selection of, in Paris so trendy, natural wine and we were rather pleased with the wine recommendations. We tried an lovely Brut Nature champagne from Ruppert-Leroy  as well as an excellent Austrian sparkling from Strohmeier as well as some nice reds. Service was in general very attentive and the staff were happy to explain the all-French menu to us.
