“ Superb cafe and lunch place! Very happy with coffees, pies and cheese board and a great experience just sitting and enjoying surrounding quiet and artful streets! Reasonably ok priced. happy to have lunched here and would come again. ”

“ Excellent and attentive service. Delicious food! Cozy ambiance. Great value. Menu is all in French.. however our server is a also teacher so was very helpful and translated for us. Don’t be concerned if the menu is all in French! This place is awesome! ”

“ Great little brasserie on the corner of Vaneau and Babylone, presumably named as a nod to the neighbours - the back wall of the official residence of the Prime Minister of France is across the street. We have had two meals here and both were reminiscent of the authentic French brasserie dishes once found on almost every corner of the 6th. Those were the days. The crowd on both occasions were predominately local with a smattering of tourists and all were greeted warmly on arrival by the staff. Classic rows of cafe tables line both street frontages although at this time of year these are presumably reserved for those who embrace the Parisian chill or are in desperate need of a cigarette. The menu reflects the crowd with Salade Périgourdine, Confit de Canard, Escargots and Entrecôte listed next to offerings of burgers and fish and chips. On our first visit we tried the Salade Périgourdine and Thon mi-cuit - tuna coated with sesame, and agreed both were excellent. My salad was very generous, although the Margret is more smokey than to my taste. On our second visit, I had the escargots, small but well-priced, followed by the rouget (red mullet) which was cooked and seasoned to my taste and accompanied by a very well-made ratatouille. By all reports the duck confit was near perfection, let down only by the potatoes which were overcooked and I couldn’t help wondering if the kitchen felt it would compensate for the quality with additional quantity. Everyone has a bad day in the kitchen, I guess. Given the quality of the rest of the food, I would not dwell on the potatoes. On the basis of these dishes alone, I would recommend a visit. However, it is the dessert menu which for me brings back a flood of memories of well-priced establishments offering French classics. The handwritten sign proudly advises that all desserts are made inhouse. We both enjoyed the Gâteau Creusois (sweet hazelnut) which was very well made. This and the Tarte Tatin are an absolute must-try. Unlike many of the more fussy and visually-attractive versions available elsewhere, this is good honest apple, cooked with butter until each spoonful melts in your mouth. I am sure the famous Tatin sisters would have been proud to offer this incarnation of their classic. If you do nothing else, go there for a ‘life changing’ dessert. The Brasserie is just a short 5-minute walk down Babylone from that great temple to gastronomy, La Grande Épicerie de Paris. Whether you are a foodie or just exploring, I can recommend this as a good spot to visit. The price for each visit was around fifty Euros for two diners enjoying three courses each, and excluding drinks. The premium champagne offering was excellent - we shared a bottle of Dom Pérignon and I had a well-priced but respectable Armagnac with my coffee to finish. We are in Paris after all. ”

“ Tasty food with affordable prices (be sure to try out onion soup). Waitress was friendly and helpful. Also, there was some live music playing in the restaurant, don't know if that's usual for the place, but it added to the experience. ”

“ Friendly staff and delicious food! The inside is well decorated with a large bar area. I got the chicken salad and it was flavourful and left me stuffed. The burger was a decent size with fresh toppings. The food and drinks were reasonably priced considering the area. I highly recommend this place if you find yourself in the area. ”

“ This restaurant offers very reasonable and cheap prices, making it a highly affordable option. The onion soup was phenomenal, and the salads were delicious. The terrine was also very tasty, though the rump steak was just alright. Service was fast and friendly, adding to the positive experience. Overall, a great spot for tasty food at affordable prices. ”

“ Loved this place! It was just down the street from my hotel and we popped in a few times for drinks and some food. The staff was super friendly and the service was fantastic. Also, a nice selection of beers ! I’ll definitely be back on my next trip to Paris! ”

“ It was my first business trip to Paris, and I had lunch at a restaurant where I ordered the salmon steak rice. The salmon was fresh and light, paired with rice that tasted like Thai rice—absolutely delicious. The coffee was also excellent. The staff were warm and welcoming, leaving me with a truly wonderful impression. I hope to have the chance to come back again. ”
