Super friendly and the food was wonderful. Different kinds of croque monsieur. Very creative and all are delicious! Might eat here every day I’m In Paris!
When I was a kid forced to travel to Paris against my will, the only thing I would eat was croque monsieur (maybe croque madame if I was adventurous). Not sure why its impossible to get a good croque monsieur outside france, but ive tried...and failed. As a grownup, I was delighted to see someone take the concept and run with it. Why get a croque monsieur at a brasserie when you can go to a specialist? My wife and I shared a Faste, a Veggie, and a Pastrami very clever to serve halves. Our favorite was the Pastrami. I was pleased to learn that the pastrami itself is from Wills Deli just up the street. If it weren't for the fact that pastrami itself is just a superior ingredient, our favorite would have been the traditional (Faste). If we had to go vegetarian, the Veggie would still have been a spectacular option. Three regrets: would like to have tried more options. I stuck with the traditional with a bit of decision fatigue. Even though I studied the menu before I got there, I just couldn't get beyond the traditional. With so many creative options I would like to have experienced at least one more variety. Next time I might try the sampler to make sure I get a bit of each. Second regret is not having a salad or dessert. Something green to complement the sandwich would have made things a bit healthier. The options seemed thoughtfully constructed. Ill forgive myself that one as a first timer. The cookies looked amazing but I was too full. Third regret is I might do the croque madame option. I didn't see that until too late. I felt well taken care of and my nostalgia for the croque monsieur was completely satisfied...until next visit!
Best croque monsier I’ve eaten in my whole life! So much variety and the only bad part is that you will be full and can’t try all of them. The space is amazing and the service even better, could not recommend a place more!! Please, if you are in Paris, this is a no miss! Going to be thinking about this when I leave Paris
