Abyssinia sur Paris

02/05/2026: Just about the real deal…. A Mom and Pop original and a hidden gem. Excellent Duck and deserts.

01/05/2026: The food was quite palatable. And although very French and without vegetarian main courses on the menu, no one even turned up their nose when we asked if it was possible to eat vegetarian. They thought creatively about vegetarian menu options. We found that very sincere and likeable. There was an incredibly attentive hostess. Furthermore, the duck was unfortunately, literally and figuratively, medium. The cheese board was good and very generous, and our son enjoyed the dessert with meringue, strawberry ice cream, and peach. A real crowd-pleaser. Just like the owner of the restaurant. Although I did detect a hint of cynicism in him, or so I thought. Anyway, we found it quite characteristic. This restaurant felt like a time capsule; it was as if time had stood still there. It captured the imagination: in some ways it was fantastic, and yet in others, it wasn't. It wasn't a 5-star review; it was much more than that. It was real. It was pure. It wasn't a slick and polished experience; on the contrary. It was how life should be. Full of character. Where do you find that anymore? We therefore wish these people all the best. We enjoyed ourselves and it was a wonderful experience. Tip for the owners: Regarding the main course, it was a little meager for the vegetarians among us. In our opinion, a vegetarian starter plus a side dish for the main course would be a wonderful and complete option for a vegetarian main course. Thank you very much for the good service and hopefully see you again!
