We love good unpretentious French cuisine at an affordable price that has great value and La Fresque hits it every time. Their lunch menu at 20 euros include an appy and a main or main and dessert. For the appy, there is always a choice of 5 different things and at least 4 to 5 for the main and 4 to 5 choices for dessert. This week, we have already been 3 times for lunch and a sample of what we had: apples...bulots; home made gnocchi with cream sauce; quail with morel mushrooms; herring and mackerel in a curry sauce. mains....faux filet of beef (steak) with pepper sauce with scalloped potatoes; pork tenderloin with a mango sauce with braised leek and fennel; duck breast with a side of sweet potato puree; beef tartare with roasted potatoes and salad. Everything we have had this week have been absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Steaks and duck breast are not overcooked and so flavourful. A glass of very good wine is only 3 euros and a house bottle is 12 euros. Service is always efficient and friendly at La Fresque and they will never rush you for your table. There is a choice of a table outside of inside and you can people watch during your meal since the restaurant is across from Les Halles shopping center with pedestrian walkway only. We love eating at La Fresque and you get excellent value for home cooked French food that is a good portion. We will be returning again in a few days for more great dinners and lunches.

This classic French bistro embodies your imagined vision, with communal pots of pickled herring, gruff waiters, and even red gingham toilets. Don't miss their impressive Grand Marnier soufflé, which should be ordered at the start of your meal. Save room for the delightful millefeuille, too. If you prefer smaller portions, opt for the half portions, which are equivalent to regular portions elsewhere. For a unique dining experience, try their succulent pigeon dish, cooked to perfection with a rich flavors and crispy potatoes that I am still dreaming about it as I am writing this review. To accompany your meal, they offer a great selection of Armagnac and other digestifs. Josephine Chez Dumonet provides a timeless experience, delivering on its promise of exceptional French cuisine in a traditional bistro setting.

We didn't necessarily need any food as we were between second breakfast and elevenses, but I will never, ever regret getting the figues roties miel et chevre. It sounds better in French, but figs stuffed with goat cheese, drizzled with honey actually sounds good in any language. I regret not ordering the big, beautiful burger that I saw walk by, but again, we had elevenses right around the corner and I didn't want to spoil my appetite. Also, it probably would've taken an hour or so because service here is slooooowwwwww. That just leaves more time for the sitting and the wine drinking though.

The waiter was kind enough to explain each special on the menu (in English). In addition, my friend was vegetarian, and the place happened to have vegetarian options (a plus!). I dived in and ordered a terrine for starters. I have no clue what kind of meat was used, but it was like pâté (thick and meaty), and studded with peppercorns. Interesting taste- not sure what to make of it. Duck confit (duck leg) for my main dish. The skin was crackling and crispy, only to be ripped apart (by yours truly) to unearth the most tender and juiciest meat my mouth has ever touched upon. But it was the profiteroles that nearly killed me. Essentially, it was an ice cream sundae wrapped in tender, flaky pastry and drenched in thick, decadent fudge. That bowled me over; after that, I was finished. Overall, L'Encrier is a solid place to try out "traditional French food," without having to bust your wallet (although it did nearly bust my gut). Especially in good company, you will have a good time.
