Amazing place in an isolated neighbourhood! Very aesthetic vibes, good natural wines, nice music and tasty food associated with a good wine!
What a great experience in a local area of Paris! Food was high quality at very reasonable price and great wines. The entire staff was very accommodating even though we showed up without a booking. Definitely recommend and would come back next time in Paris!
Food and wine were amazing. The staff went out of their way to seat us and provide great service. Best restaurant experience I’ve had all year.
Technically a wine bar, but the food is the real star. And the chef is sexy to boot.
Simply delicious. Products are fresh and well prepared. Menu is kept simple. Staff is nice and friendly. Booking is highly recommended.
Amazing natural wines and such friendly service. The owner was determined to find me the perfect white and he succeeded!
Superb local restaurant with a relaxed vibe producing very delicious food. The semi-open kitchen is staffed by neat young chefs who are not afraid to push the boundaries of excellent French cusine with surprising taste combinations. Red peppers in a strawberry tart? Yum! We chose different dishes for each course and shared them - they're happy for you to do that and create your own tasting menu. Our server was very helpful, both with describing the menu and an excellent wine suggestion. The locals are so lucky to have this around the corner but it is also worth a special trip. Loved it!
10/10 experience all round - wine, food and the cool and relaxed atmosphere. But what makes this place truly special is the absolutely legendary team led by Balu! Everyone was super knowledgeable so you can relax knowing you'll be well taken care of. Can't wait to return!
