    The most life- changing experience with French cuisine. This is what French culinary dreams are…read moremade of. Get the appetizer grilled foie gras with side of greens, you won't regret it. The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

    This place feels like a Foie Gras specialist but also, a tourist destination. Over 80% of the…read morepatrons here were tourists. As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

    Didn't see a recent review so we were skeptical. Went to this restaurant on a Thursday night close…read moreto 9 pm. Luckily the kitchen was still open so we went in for our last dinner before flying back to Northern California tomorrow. So thankful that we made a right choice to come here. The manager does not speak much English but with google translate we managed to understand the menu a bit. They just started a new menu tonight for the weekend to come. Ordered a appetizers of Spanish cured meat , scallops with amazing yellow sauce , main dish my husband ordered a aged steak with yummy green purée sauce made from French veggies in a black plate and I ordered a roasted octopus with turnips , pickled red onion with black sesame purée sauce on a white plate. Pairs with a glass of light oaky French red wine. The presentation was just heaven to the eyes and the taste was just out of this world! I am surprise no one give this restaurant a recent review. Lots of local people eat here. This restaurant deserve more review!! We will definitely come back whenever we come to Paris! Sorry for not giving you the names of our dishes. Should have taken a photo of tonight's menu! But if you ever come here, just order any dishes as I guarantee you will not walk away disappointed !!! The service to the food presentation are just sooooo great in this little town. What a present surprise for us!!

    A family style restaurant just a stonesthrow from Paris Orly airport. I missed my flight back home…read moreand decided to stay at the airport hotel. Just 5 miles away, a short Uber ride and you are transported to a decent establishment, clean and with a tourist friendly menu. Foie gras is decent, as good as any restaurant in Paris and wine is good too. The quality of my ribeye was not on par with something I would get in the USA for the same price, but you've got to be grateful for such nice establishment and the down to earth prices. Now I know where to go if I ever get stuck at Orly again!
