What people say

"A great option for tourists who want to discover classic French cuisine at unusual hours, when many traditional restaurants are closed (for example, between 2 pm and 7 pm). The menu offers typical French dishes such as escargots, French onion soup, and artichoke. The concept is interesting and the atmosphere has the authentic feel of a French bouillon. Our experience was mixed: the dishes were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. The mashed potatoes with mushroom sauce, in our case, tasted a little like it was made with a ready-made sauce rather than freshly prepared. Overall, it is a convenient place to try traditional French specialties, especially if you are looking for a meal outside the usual dining hours. Give it a try if you want to experience the classic French bouillon atmosphere."
