The prices haven't changed much since. Finding authentic bistros like this one, at prices well below the neighborhood standard, with real charm and history, is rare! I recommend it for people who enjoy relaxing in a quiet corner, a place that's holding its own against a disappearing neighborhood life. A very good glass of wine, fresh bread, and a generous cheese plate for €11. The owner is very friendly, as is his dog. :

There was only one sour beer on tap. When my wife sat at a table, we were told tables were for people eating; when we agreed to order food, we were then told tables were only for groups of four—even though the place was not busy. Overall, a very poor experience. We finished our one pint and left.
