    Banana nutella
    Elise M.

    Worst crepe place in my experience in Paris. Very few diners inside which should have been the first sign. We initially ordered the chicken and cheese and they were out, so we got ham and cheese. The ham quality was low. Reminded me of the worst kind of lunch meat. The dessert crepe was greasy from the pan which is not how other crepes are in my experience. It was a banana nutella crepe. I expected the banana to be sliced but it was served whole.

    After a long day of sightseeing and note dame, we stopped at this restaurant. We had spaghetti and lasagna. Comfort food. The food was delicious. It hit the spot. As we walked out we noticed that if you order the spaghetti outside it was 6 euros but inside the restaurant was 14 euros. But at least at this restaurant they let you know. That's one thing we learned about being in Europe. That if we take away it's half the price than eating inside the restaurant. The next day we returned and ordered crepes and spaghetti outside and again it was delicious. The service is fast. We got the bill at the same time we ordered they were not joking around. We had the best Nutella crepes for 3 euros here. We're home now and we wish we could have had more of those crepes.

    Good place to get a croissant and espresso. Friendly service. Close to the Notre Dame Cathedral…read moreand Saint Chappell.

    THE FOOD ------------------…read more+ Notre Dame Granny Smith Apple Confit - Was refreshing! I couldn't tell if this was a real apple or some fancy French creation made to look like one - that's how real it looked! The mousse and apple bits were cold & delicious and the chocolate shell was good, but not sure if it was worth the price at €7.5. + Pain Au Chocolat Cookie - Verrrry good chocolate chip cookie, chocolate croissant mashup. Only thing that we were missing was some good ol' milk! + Almond Croissant - Once again, delicious! Solid croissant and definitely a good grab and go candidate. = Citronnade - Was just OK. Lemonade that was on the watered down side, but was somewhat refreshing because I was dying of thirst. THE SERVICE ----------------------- - Employee who helped us with our order was friendly, but the cashier was a bit blah and not exactly the friendliest person, especially when we asked for extra utensils and napkins. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ - Smallish, tight interior that you can dine in at, but don't be surprised if the next table is sitting on top of you. + There are also 5 outdoor tables on the narrow street. - Entrance is tight too. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------------- + Even though this bakery is ranked highly on Tripadvisor, there was no crowd on the Monday morning that we swung by. Line moved superfast.

We were able to enjoy the food and each other. I ordered the special shrimp curry dish. The portion was just right, and paired well with a white wine. They make the most of the space here. It is a bustling restaurant for locals and visitors to enjoy.

    This place made me love escargot! I had never tried it before, but knew I had to at some point on…read moremy trip to Paris. We came here for some coffee on a rainy afternoon, but were pleasantly surprised to see escargot on the menu too and figured we'd give it a shot. Coffee wise we got the vienna coffee which had chocolate inside. It was good, with a nice espresso flavor and a huge dollop of whipped cream on top. A nice pick me up for the day. The escargot on the other hand, was so fantastic. They were served all cute in their little shells on a tray, and bubbling when we first got them. The green sauce that they came with was fantastic, and the butter was also a great addition! This made for such a flavorful little bite - escargots taste like little chewy clams to me, nothing strange at all. It also came with a few pieces of baguette to soak up the yummy sauce. Service was friendly and the inside of the restaurant has such a nice vibe. I would definitely recommend this spot!
