A cosy, romantic neighbourhood French brasserie and wine bar serving rich, comforting Parisian classics in a lively setting.
Ordering Strategy
Start with a shared cheese dish or charcuterie, follow with a classic meat main like the duck confit or steak, and lean heavily into the exclusively French wine list.
What to order
Duck Confit
Universally praised and 'absolutely heavenly,' this duck 'falls off the bone with the press of a fork.' Critics highly recommend pairing it with truffle fries and dipping them into the 'sweet red wine reduction sauce.'
Onglet Steak
A 'pillowy' and 'impeccably cooked' cut of beef served 'crimson within' with a 'coin of garlic butter'; it is considered a 'blockbuster' main that is 'easy to carve.'
Camembert Fondu
A 'lovely warm treat' for a 'chilly, rainy evening,' this classic sharing starter is hailed as one of the restaurant's 'Greatest Hits.'
Baked Fig in Buche de Chevre
A 'diminutive' but 'drippingly sensual' vegetarian starter dipped in truffle honey that reviewers describe as an absolute standout 'Oh my' moment.
