Le Basilic sur Saint-Denis

The food is excellent: fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and elegant presentation. The atmosphere is pleasant and cozy without being pretentious, perfect for a romantic dinner, a meal with friends, or even a special occasion.

Really excellent food in a typical French unprepossessing bistro. Very rough and ready - toilets not great - but the duck confit and sides were perfect and the café gourmand dessert allowed us to sample the superb pain perdue, crème brulée and tiramisu. Excellent waiter managed bar and diners all by himself, with time to be friendly to our kids. Opposite the impressive basilica, but not at all touristy (though the menu is in English or French). Highly recommend.
