Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine brasserie gastronomique dans le arrondissement Paris-7E de Paris

05/04/2024: It’s a nice, cozy, antique restaurant. Always crowded. Very loud atmosphere, but in a good way. Small tables, almost communal. Service is good, professional some of the waiters do speak English. The master chef is fun and always yelling and screaming, probably to make an ambience. I was surprised that all the customers were English speaking, it must be featured in a travel book, I know that it was recommended that the New York Times four years ago. Food is great and generous for French restaurant. We were really full. We have several items and they’re all great, including the asparagus with octopus, the amazing cod (bacalao or morue) and braised beef and duck breast. The smells are impressive. The food is full of flavor. They use a lot of herbs mainly oregano. The wine list is limited, but most likely reflective of the origins of the restaurant. We had a dessert and it was great; the basque almond tarte. David, next to us had the rice dessert and it also looked huge and tasty. The restaurant is expensive, all appetizers are around the €20 and all main courses are around 40 and above. We saw some people order the menu degustation and it was very generous.

05/04/2024: Disappointing, very rushed service, bad atmosphere and vibes, generally the kind of place that seems to say “just give us your money, get out, and thank us for taking it”. Kid of a wasted meal - a shame when in Paris. Atmosphere. We got quickly sat down on a table next to the kitchen. Felt very crammed, later other guests came and they had to move tables to make them sit next to us - everyone was kind of trapped. Rustic environment, but felt more cheap than charming. Did not feel welcome. Rushed and impersonal service. Waiters were extremely rushed, served us everything right away and could not wait for us to be done with our starters to shove the main down our throats. When the main course arrived, waiters fumbled around our small table to make place for it, repeatedly touching the top of our glasses and generally to the point of being a bit disgusting. When taking orders, they were also rushed. Also oddly rude: I asked for a starter. The waiter wanted to recommend a different one. That’s in itself fine, but instead of saying “hey, I would actually recommend to…” he said “No! The chef says to get this!”. Kid of felt weird. I also ordered a glass of wine to go with the food and I asked the waiter to choose for me what suited the main course best. I got slammed on the table a glass of red without explanation, and when I asked “ok, what did you choose?” the waiter hurriedly mumbled “Cote du Rhone” while rushing away. Super weird. Average food. Food was ok-ish. The scallops on mushroom soup were actually very nice, and the best we got. That is at least to be recommended. The starter with cod which was “recommended” was disappointing. Plenty of butter, so of course tasted ok-ish, but the cod was overcooked and dry, had the consistency of baccalà. Even if on purpose, it did not fit with the rest of the plate. We ordered a beef shoulder for main, which was served in broth and boiled vegetables. Tasted ok, just as any cheap-ish beef part cooked slowly in a sous-vide tastes like, but was not at all elevated as a 95€ dish demands. Ok meal, could have done and served it at home myself. Overall we stayed inside for 1h 10 minutes, paid ~180€ for it. I do not mind the price itself, but I do mind it for something similar to what you’d expect from a slightly hostile rural roadside diner.

05/04/2024: Great little restaurant. Great food, great ambience

05/04/2024: "Ghaith is the best. Ask for him and you'll be in good hands."

17/03/2024: Very good prices, quality food, fast and friendly service despite being at the top. All very well.

17/03/2024: The note goes above all to the very warm welcome and impeccable service because the meal was quite disappointing (the steak had so many crackers and the pepper sauce was not great). Especially for €26, we expect a certain quality. On the other hand, the setting and the service very good. Just as a dish without a good reception leaves a bitter taste, a service (even perfect, as was the case) without a good dish does not leave a wonderful memory. We had already come for club sandwiches that were rather generous in chicken and therefore wanted to try red meat, but we had no luck there. At the next table, they weren't happy with the cutting of their meat either, according to what they told us. So, for a club sandwich: yes. For a more elaborate dish: not sure you’ll repeat the experience.
