Cafe de la Tourelle sur Paris

Came here for dinner close to my hotel, and it was a cozy and tasty meal. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the place felt like a “local favorite.” The menu is limited but great value. The steak tartare was seasoned to perfection, where each addition enhanced the flavor without being overpowering. The baba au rhum smelled very rum-y, but it didn’t taste too much like rum. The baba itself had a nice spongy texture, and the syrup was a good mix of sweet and alcoholic.

Have visited this place several times earlier, but this time (March '24) the food was a sheer disappointment. Starter lack of taste. Main cause meat was overcooked and though.

Really enjoyable modest little restaurant serving a limited menu of traditional French food. We were there on a Wednesday for lunch and there were only a few tables full, obviously people from the neighborhood. Grillade de porc was excellent, so was the potage. Service was very friendly and decor has clearly been in place for quite a long time. Bathroom switch is near the ceiling lol. This place is why I value serendipity in France. So different from anything in the US and really good food for a reasonable amount of money.
