We were there for dinner, in January, so the terrace was NOT on our agenda. The party was four...people, three adults and a well traveled 12 year old. I ordered the scallops wrapped in parma-ham as my starter, they were deicious and perfectly cooked, just done through, but still with the texture of uncooked in the center. My companion ordered house prepared Salmon Gravlax, I tasted it and it was also quite good. I ordered the faux fillet special (looked and tasted to me like an excellent NY Strip) served with potatoes and a nice salad of mixed greens. The other two adults ordered Fillet du Bar (we think it is Sea Bass) and again it was excellent. The youngest ordered Riosotto de Truffle and wasn't too happy with her choice (it was the 1st time she'd ordered Risotto, I tried a good taste of it and it was good too). We enjoyed a bottle of Cote du Rhone and desserts (all prepared to order). Service was good, food was very good to excellent and the atmosphere stylishly modern. I would recommend the restaurant, it is not far from the line 7 stop for Marie de Villjuif.

I mention master chef in the title of this review, and that is what they get on 2 types: 1- the hauptkoch just won the French version of master chef. I think his name is oliver. 2- eating is simply amazing and nothing compared to what they get to tourist sites, say like montmartre, notre dame, etc., unless they go to a top restaurant and pay well. none of them at show devant. the abrées, the main desserts for my companion and I, were faultless, super boiled and made. no prefabricated cooled desserts from the refrigerator here, all freshened. the wine selection is extensive for such a place and the quality is guaranteed. the one I had was awarded in a word and they pay the same for a not so good wein in paris. Not to say that the wein in paris is bad, not at all, but they get top notch wine at show devant for the same money as a less high quality, although still good, in the middle of paris. the one negatiw is that they do not look for the eiffel tower or other main attraction here, but they would have suspected that they come here for eating, not the intention (although it is set in a beautiful city square in villejuif. where there are no tourist attractions to see.) excellent food and wine. fin

I would recommend it very much.

I came to moments later and. the restaurant served suddenly again and several tables were wonderful avaliable. confusing behavior of a coworker who judges the people obviously on her. I personally will not visit this place again.
