Checked this place out upon a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. I made a reservation, thankfully, as this place was packed on a Friday night. Dress code is chic casual, the vibe is lively, and there were both American and French people dining here. The menu is available in English and our water spoke English as well. The staff here is friendly and gave us great recommendations for dinner. Onto the food we had: - French onion soup: This was sooo good. Fresh, hot and flavorful. - Escargot: Yumm! - Roasted duck breast: Cooked perfectly and I loved the sauce it came with and the carrots purée was excellent! - Beef bourguignon: The beef was a tad overcooked for me but was still overall a tasty dish. - Crème brulée: Delicious and not too sweet. Overall, I had a great meal and definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

Reservations are highly recommended. It's a small place and when we ate there on a Thursday night, it was quickly full. Speaking of small places, it is just like many Paris restaurants, there is not much space between you and your neighbor. However, despite the close quarters, it does not detract from the food or ambiance. Of course, if you find this closeness too much, then you may be uncomfortable in this resto. BONUS- the restroom is in the ground floor. You don't have to go downstairs like with so many other restaurants. Now, on to the food! The staff speak English and they do have an English menu. The specials on the board are written in French. We ordered to share: Bone marrow Onion soup Arugula salad Beef Bourguignon Everything was delicious and I would order these again. Surprisingly, for me, my favorite was the arugula salad. Enjoy!

We had many amazing meals in Paris, including 2 Michelin star restaurants but this meal was our absolutely favorite. At the last minute, I asked our concierge if they thought we might get a reservation and he said this was his favorite restaurant and he was very skeptical about the likelihood of a reservation. He called and got one, but when we arrived there was none. They were so kind and polite, they got us a table after a 15 minute wait and it was absolutely tremendous. We sat next to a friendly, English speaking pair who shared their wine tasting with us! The building is quite old and the tables are very close together with red and white checked table cloths. The wine list was a huge volume! Absolutely a must dine when you are in Paris!

Our dinner was delightful in a beautifully historic building with stone walls and dark wood beams. The host was very accommodating and we felt welcome. The Baba au Rhum was memorable--and potent. A bottle of infused rum was left at the table to supplement an already generously doused sponge cake. The house specialty of beouf bourguingnon was also very good.

I loved this place so much we returned the very next day for lunch, and were welcomed back warmly! Onion soup was amazing, and the legendary beef bourguignon was oustanding. It's a very cosy space, with tables close to each other. Very friendly, great service, lots of americans, absolutely worthwhile!

Fantastic food. Definitely not an underground gem nor a locals place as my bilingual wife was the only person speaking French other than the wait staff until a French couple showed up as we were leaving. The ambiance is very cozy and very 'French,' almost in a kitschy manner. The food was amazing -- the mushroom ravioli in foie gras sauce decadent, the bone marrow perfectly unctuous, the duck breast exceptionally well cooked and the famous beef bourguignon outstanding. The chocolate fondant for dessert was a bit one note but by that point we were stuffed from all the previous fare. Definitely would be back and it is an amazing choice for a place that 1) is delicious and 2) is geared towards English speaking customers.

They have an amazing beef bourguinion! We made a reservation and they told us it would be a 15 minute wait but they made up for it by giving us a free glass of champagne while we waited. I wish more restaurants did that. It was such great service! Plus I loved the interior.
