Tiny place, but felt large with all the energy on a Friday night. It started with the manager telling us a party of 4 would be a 45 min wait, but when he saw my 20 yr old was on the edge of hangry he moved people around and got us seats together in less than 10 minutes. The awesome service did not stop there. The waitress was Australian and thus spoke English (bonus!) so she explained the menu and away we ordered. The food came out quickly - not all at once, but rather at a nice pace to keep us noshing with room for conversation. What did we love? I would say all of it, but here are the highlights... falafel, fish (no chips), steak with chimichurri and the mini burger. Note of caution - it is not table seating - it is all side by side bar style. Enjoy!

We were going to order the tasting menu, but we noticed that the meat dishes were all pigeon. We hate pigeon. Fortunately, our waiter, Germán, a true professional, attentive and observant, guided us in choosing dishes we could enjoy. The ambiance and the restaurant itself, like all restaurants in Paris, as you know, don't live up to the price. Small tables, very close together, with little to no linens and poor-quality cutlery and glasses... typical of Paris and most of France. Without a doubt, the most valuable thing about the restaurant was our waiter, Germán, a Peruvian who has lived in Paris for many years. He knew how to guide us and make dinner a truly special experience.
