My friend both had the daurade but both felt it was a little fishy. I had this dish last year it was fabulous. 2 shared the decadent chocolate cake mousse dessert, a 10. A popular place so reservations are suggested. Service is friendly helpful.

Our ratatouille starter was simple but full of flavour. The sea bream was delicious. But the highlight for me was the exceptional risotto with courgettes. Amazing. We shared two mouthwatering desserts. Service was welcoming, warm and friendly in this stylishly decorated small restaurant. Café Léa is away from the popular old town but easily accessible, just behind Place Masséna. Highly recommended.

So ordered the pumpkin soup as a replacement so tasty that my husband who found his ratatouille rather bland decided to order the pumpkin soup as well. 10mn later, he was told that there was none left. Same scenario for the risotto aux gambas, being pescatarian, he had no other choice but to order the cabillaud with green beans and quinoa on the side. The fish was perfectly cooked but the portion quite small. I had to have my meat warmed up as it arrived cold. The dessert was a hit, ganache au chocolat praliné. The service was inefficient but friendly. A bit pricey for a lunch. Overall worth a try, reservations are a must as the place is small.

The rissoto is better than anything we found in Milan. The fish was fresh and skillfully prepared. Order what the daily specialties are and enjoy.

I was not surprised to learn that the leader was once one of the Elysee leaders. Although the room is not large each table has a comfortable space around. A pleasant, warm and pleasant place. I've always had delicious moments.

Her husband is in the kitchen. everything is fresh, everything is good, a small slate card but always a pleasure for taste buds. I love their chocolate cake.. and on Monday I think it is absolutely necessary to taste their cooked beef marinade and knife slice like a carpaccio!! A small address to know about keeping
