I can see the place could have had a good vibe but.. fully digital ordering system where you spend 40 mins to get the food and drinks arrive even later defets the purpose of it all. Imorove your client experience as we felt quite disappointed.

Good option for a few drinks and snacking. The only issue is, the give you the beer in plastic glasses. The prices are amazing and you can order online.

The burger, fries, beer combo was yummy. The chicken nuggets were delicious. Try the chocolate mousse for dessert! They also have a great hugo spritz!

This is one of the student bars in Paris that you can get cheap beer. Litron = 1 liter of blond beer is 6,5€. French fries plate is 4,5 euros and if you get litron and fries it’s 10€. It’s always full on evenings, full of young people. Very loud but good vibes. Fries were nicely cooked and it was a good portion. I suggest the place to get pre drinks with friends if you’re young.
