Great summer salad offered at lunch! Everything very fresh and delicious: lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, melon, avocado, large boule of burrata cheese, tomatoes, tasty dressing… very substantial! Delicious crispy potatoes. Priced right. The only drawback is the smoking outside and the inside is hot (the weather has been very hot)… so not my favorite environment. But great otherwise!

a lovely find! prices were totally reasonable, and slightly on the lower end for us (as compared to other restaurants in paris) we absolutely loved the potatoes with blue cheese and prosciutto. the potatoes were perfectly cooked with some crispy ends. we also had duck, which felt a little dry in the middle. the chicken with rice was a tasty meal and escargots were acceptable too. service was great! our server was friendly and funny

Delicious and homelike meal. Reminded me of my mother’s cooking while I was away from home. Beyond being nourishing, the food was deeply satisfying to my pallet and I’m sure that of others as well. Thank you!

A Basque restaurant frequented by locals and nearby students. Hearty portions of southern French countryside cooking. We had the fortune of meeting a friend here that has been going to the other branch for 40 years and he swears by its authenticity. We started off with Kir Royales which is the quintessential pre meal beverage. And then moved on to mains as appetizers are not necessary given the portions. Their cassoulet was incredible with real stick to your ribs appeal. However I feel the star of the show was their 5 diamond salade. Imagine a bed of greens supporting their duck fat potatoes fried crisp, topped with generous portions of lardons and chicken livers. All garnished with mini rounds of cheese on toast and a fried egg! What is not to like? The decor is classic diner, nothing fancy it it is all about the food. Service was friendly and not intrusive.
