What people say
"Although it’s not cheap, it’s one of those rare places that feels worth it after the meal. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the food—from appetizers to dessert—is consistently excellent. The starter with eel, egg, asparagus, and sauce was very well balanced—flavorful without being overly salty. The veal sweetbreads as a main were a new experience for me; the portion was generous and perfectly seared. The coffee bean–like garnish added a distinctive touch that really stood out. The rice pudding is a must-order. The caramelized nuts and caramel cream give it great depth and layers of flavor. You can tell the restaurant pays close attention to detail. I really loved it, and I’d definitely come back next time I’m in Paris."
