We dined here twice while staying at a nearby hotel. The first time was for lunch and we chose the three course option. Simple choices, but everything was well executed. (pickled herring, pork fillet, tart of the day and warm goat cheese, tuna steak, and cream de caramel). The mashed potatoes were actually "aligot", prepared with fresh Tomme cheese and garlic. So good. Seeing some things in the menu we knew we would enjoy, we returned for dinner the following night and had rillon de cunard, and wine to start which was more like what I would call a terrine versus a pate, but very enjoyable. We also had the duck trio, which consisted of a confit leg, cured breast, and foie gras on gingerbread. I find the gingerbread kind of an odd way to serve the liver, but I saw it at several restaurants in Paris. We also had a beef carpaccio which was served with salad and warm goat cheese. Everything was great. This being my first trip to Paris, I was prepared for the stereotypical snooty Paris waiter, and that was just not the case here. The first day it was likely the owner who waited on us and took good care of us. The dinner meal was served by a very efficient young man who was extremely good-natured, patient, and welcoming. He even complimented my horrible two phrases in French! read more
