From DLebovitz 10 Things Not to Miss: This is one of my favorites, serving delicious food. Doubling as a wine bar, you pick a wine from the rack on the wall then enjoy your dinner. The menu is fixed

One of the best bistros in Paris! Set menu so you will be eating whatever they are making that night. Lots of quality wine bottles on the wall - just pick out the one you want with dinner!

Typical bistro, the food is excellent. The serve one fix menu per evening paired with a good bottle of wine - their selection is impressive. Reservation is needed.

Absolutely stuffed ourselves for lunch. Go ard 2pm to get a table easily. Ate chick pea soup w chorizo and olive cream, huge steamed fish w peppers & mash, cheese plate and dessert. Wines are superb!

Typical French bistro with a unique menu at a reasonable price. The lack of choice can be unnerving but the food is great. Very large choice of wines. Service is a bit long but always friendly

Arrive, pick a wine, and your server will tell you what is on the menu. It is a new dish every day. We had a delicious soup followed by a rack of lamb with polenta then goat cheese with olive spread.

We had an amazing set lunch including soup, main, cheese and dessert. All courses were divine. Reasonable pricing, considering the quality of the food. Worth booking. Restaurant was full.

I think I just found my favorite. Reasonable 36e fixed menu. No possibility of choosing your meal but oh what a great meal!!! Huge choice of wine. Chapeau 👏👏

All is excellent! There was pork on the daily menu, when we said we didn t eat pork at all, chef cooked us grilled tuna which was amazing...
Johnnie SkywalkingAugust 12, 2017
Zucchini soup was so good. You can pour as much as you like but this is still a starter. You need to keep space for big main and sweets.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you what's good because the menu changes everyday and you won't know what you are eating til the day of. But I've been there many times and each time was excellent!!!
SparkieJanuary 9, 2014
Absolute favorite. Serves one fixed menu every night for about 30 Euros - no choice - The gimmick is that you get up from your table to browse the shelves and pick your own wine. Reserve for dinner.
Matt MorogMarch 18, 2017
Really fun dining experience. It is a set menu with an excellent four course dinner. Owner is a former rugby player and you can tell he loves seeing people enjoy his restaurant.
Outi IlvonenDecember 9, 2012
Excellent place. New menu for each week so you don't know what it is going to be next time. Food was very good and service pleasent and helpful. Staff gave suggestions for wines as well. Will go again
Nitzan BNovember 12, 2016
Fixed menu that changes all the time, the food is classic and not snobbish and yet so good! Great price for a big meal.
Gina LloretMarch 27, 2016
Best wine bar in Paris. Closed menu, you only choose the wine (let the owner recommend you). Small and vert authentic! A must for a romantic french dinner!
JeanJune 18, 2013
Wonderful food, you will feel at home as they bring the "cocottes" directly to the table so you can share a real meal among friends or family. Amazing wine selection, too.
Dolce&GabbanaFebruary 28, 2012
This narrow wine shop with just a few tables and a bar is home to a chef with haute cuisine credentials. Great menu with sophisticated bistro cooking served family-style in cast-iron and copper pots.
Jessica AprilApril 10, 2012
The food is expertly prepared and the atmosphere is fantastic. The best part - you get to shop for your own bottle of wine to drink at dinner - it doubles as a wine store when not serving meals.
Dan KnisleyApril 14, 2015
Great meal. Just pick your wine off the wall, sit down and be served whatever is on the menu for the day. Really enjoyed it here.
Michelle TSeptember 8, 2012
The AmEx mafia will get you in, otherwise make reservations in advance. Amazing set menu for 2 plus a bottle of wine - expect to pay around 100 euros, a BARGAIN for an unforgettable meal.
MarialeAugust 26, 2017
The food, the service and the place are excellent. Also, the wine selection is fantastic!

Great, tiny classic brasserie where we had a great lunch and a stellar wine selection. Really recommend for classic French experience

Amazing little gem. They only serve one menu of the day but it's so good. Make sure to call and confirm your reservation.
Lennart van NieuwenhuijzenFebruary 10, 2016
Very simple but tasty menu (€35), staff was charming and friendly. Place was very hot though. Their housewine (€7) is worth the money.
Todd WicknerAugust 23, 2014
It was by far the best meal we had in Paris. Service was excellent as well as the food and wine.
Knut-Olav HovenJuly 15, 2016
Great food. They serve only one menu, which changes every day. Great selection of wine. A bit cramped and uncomfortable chairs.
Ioannis MantasJuly 27, 2013
Small place but with a vast winery list and perfect food. It's like a secret place in Paris that you must visit have a daring and eat.

Amazing four course lunch menu - and great selection of wine at reasonable prices. Not the last time we come here

Hands down the best meal I've had in Paris! Amazing food start to finish, wine selection, service, and very reasonably priced. Menu changes daily, can't wait to see what's in store next time!
Nicklas Ansman GiertzJuly 23, 2016
I'm sad that people think this is the best that Paris has to offer. The food was ok, borderline bad. A glass of wine for €8.5 and plain water for €7(!!!) is shitty. There is so much better to be found
Vanessa VelaJune 9, 2013
Make sure to make a reservation... This is a set menu. You can choose your bottle of wine right of the walls.
Yoonie SMay 25, 2015
Such great food and wine! Reservations are a must! Would highly recommend this restaurant!

Market fresh set menu. Everyday is different. We had a pumpkin&chestnut soup, slow cooked beef, blue cheese and pannacotta with fig. Great.set price 33 euro. Reserve ahead.
Raul ValleJanuary 3, 2015
Excellent French home cooking. Concept is 1 single menu per day (starter + main dish)
Kate GoldMay 11, 2014
Bring some friends to share in Bertrand Bluy’s family style dinner at this cave à manger. An absolute favorite
Jef WegJune 27, 2015
Amazing food! I ate a potato and leek soup and some miracle of cooked chicken for lunch. Delicious!
Heather RodriguezOctober 18, 2015

Finally a place where the food was nice and wasn't overly seasoned... Very reasonable
