    The duck is amazing. Choose the honey glaze. French onion soup is fabulous. Staff is very sweet and speak great English.

    Very good wine selection and pretty good food. Not too pricey for the quality. Tartare was good but unfortunately not "au couteau". Tataki beef starter was one of the best I ever had, worth trying !

    Service was great. The French Onion Soup was pretty good too (although, I think I got an old batch, because my partners one was way tastier than mine)

    Great atmosphere and great service in an authentic French wine bar. Start with escargot then get the magret.

    Go for Caserolle (specialty) or duck filet. Pate or mushroom pie for starters are good as well.

    Looks a bit classy but the ambience is nice. They still have some beers if you don't feel like drinking wine, but that's it.

    Bonne cuisine française. J'aime bien le décor et l'emplacement très proche du jardin du Luxembourg. Par contre c'est cher et le serveurs sont vraiment impolis.

    Lieu très animé, pour un bar à vins. Dites au barmaid Raphaël que vous venez de ma part! On regrette l'absence de fond musical...

    Ils ont pris une demie heure pour nos dessert en disant chaque fois c'est que qq minutes! Inadmissible, franchement plutôt pour les touristes anglophones ici.
