Local restaurant with delicious French food. We came here for lunch and got the lunch special choosing a starter and main. Between us we got the mushroom and egg, and, chorizo omelette to start. For the mains I got the octopus and the others got the pork. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted great. The portions were just enough - we were left full and did not need to nap before continuing the day. The dessert was my highlight, in particular the orange flower creme brûlée and lemon lime tart. I will come back for sure!

Family owned restaurant! The best restaurant I have been in Paris! A must when you visit Paris! Location: It is located au Maire, there is a lot of seating outside the restaurant! Believe me you will prefer outside seating! Service: the owner and servers are genuinely nice! They treat you like a family! Food: all the food here is great! The menus are all in French but they will explain you if you speak English like me. Every 1-2 weeks they also change the menu. So you will not have the same food when you come back. For appetizers I recommend the FRIED CHEESE: i have no idea but it has a texture of fried rice paper and inside is cheese! I thought it was fried fish but it wasnt! It was my favorite! LAMB dish: omg so tender and so good! The meat falls of the bone! CREME BRULEE: well it always good! LEMON TART: i was shocked because i dont usually like lemon stuff but this one is soo good! Price rating: 6/10, definitely good for the price. Definitely will come back here whenever I am Paris! thanks for the hospitality!
