"Great find in the Cité. Ordered from prix fixe menu for lunch. Service was fast and friendly and the food was great. Had a great cream of pumpkin soup, pork tenderloin medallions and a lovely passion fruit panna cotta as dessert. The cassoulet also was stellar. Good wine options. Lovely, lively place."

"We came across this spot and they had a lovely outdoor area. Set menu for €21 which was fantastic. Complimentary bread. They did make a mistake bringing another tables food to ours which was quickly rectified and we didn’t care much however then they brought down complimentary glasses of bubbles for the mistake - lovely touch but not required at all ! €75 for two x 3 course meals and a bottle of wine you can’t go wrong"
