We are so happy we stumbled across this place on Yelp, as it is just what we were wanting (and the food was so good!)

We ordered a few of the side plates (they were sold out of a few, but that's also a good sign), and some meats and cheeses. The wine selection was great and we enjoyed it, very much. They appeared to be closing early that night, so we are happy we got there in time. Definitely check this spot out

Good list of wines and spirits, with wine by the glass still reasonable (€7). I had oxtail terrine as a starter - it was delicious, literally cleaned the plate. Veal liver with mushrooms was outstanding - real wild mushrooms (for those of us visiting from the US, it is a big deal), liver itself perfectly cooked as requested and perfectly seasoned. I like how side dishes are served in the little cups, without clobbering your plate. Had some Basque cake as a desert - that was not my favorite, but that's okay. Excellent service, prompt, friendly, attentive. Definitely recommended. Also reservations are highly recommended.

The skin was crispy the meat was moist - the flavor was superb. It was so good, my sister was gnawing on the bone.

Everything came out all at once and we were pretty excited to dig in. Make sure you reserve lots of time to just enjoy wine and conversation bc this place gets busy but you know the food is being cooked up to perfection. With two glasses of wine, coke, and three dishes our bill came out to about $85, which is a great deal considering we were quite stuffed.

If I could only recommend one restaurant in Paris, this would be that place! I think this might be…read moreone of my favorite meals ever, not just on vacation. After a very long day in Disney Paris, my friends and I were starving and not looking to go far so we found this place right around the corner from where we were staying. The owner is this sweetheart who suggested we order three dishes each and then share everything. Three of us decided to share and one of the girls in the group decided to get three things for herself. We also paired the meal with a bottle of white and a bottle of rosé that completed our meal perfectly! What we ordered: - 2 scallop carpaccio - 2 mushroom risotto - 3 gnocchi - mini burger - stuffed peppers - white fish (don't remember the actual fish) ceviche - veggie quesadillas - mozzarella sticks Not one plate that was sent to us wasn't devoured. Personally, our favorites were the Gnocchi, soft and pillowy in the most AMAZING cream sauce, and scallop carpaccio, fresh scallops seasoned to perfection in a light acidic sauce. Even the dishes that I probably would never order in Paris like the mozzarella sticks, quesadilla and mini burger. We're also completely delicious. Actually the mozzarella sticks had the most insane, you can tell that these were homemade. Even with no room left in our stomach, we ordered dessert. We ordered two crème brûlée and two chocolate cakes to split and then a apple tart for the table. Crème brûlée was insane, a must order! When my friends left and I was in Paris by myself, I actually came back alone twice! When I went, it was around the Olympics, so the owner was so nice to come and sit with me and show me how to get cheap tickets online that I never would've been able to find myself. Such a sweet soul! The place is pretty small, they pack as many tables as they could in here. Make a reservation if you want to sit outside or come later in the night if you just want to walk in.

The elevator to get to this restaurant is shared by hotel guests accessing the pools on level 0. The single elevator can get crowded and slow. It was weird to share elevator with guests and their bathrobes. I was shocked to receive what was basically hummus in a jar. I've never heard of a restaurant serving a dish that they didn't make. The Rooftop Salad with tomatoes, bulgur, arugula, avocado and grapefruit was just a bit too strong for me. Too much balsamic vinegar. My friend ordered the burger which he liked very much. We left soon after. It was getting chilly and it's all outdoor seating up here and some people started smoking. It was time to go. Overall, the view was amazing. The sun was setting. I felt the food wasn't as good. But, both restaurants here in this hotel are from the same chef. Of well.

The good thing about it is that you get the chance to taste different dishes from the chef. All are really good. These are really fine tapas. I also really enjoyed the "plateau gourmand".

The atmosphers is also really good and they play good music. You feel very comfy! Well if you want to spend a nice evening while in Paris and not too pricey I would recommend this restaurant.
