Reviews of interest
- Alexander Lobrano (2012) “Now, though, since former sous chef Eric Azoug became head chef, the food is often once again as excellent as it was in the Petit era…”
- Gilles Pudlowski (2011) “Ouvert dès 1912 par la famille Petit, ce bistrot de luxe s’apprête à fêter son centenaire. Il a été repris par Alain Ducasse qui a su en garder le côté bon chic parisien, policé, bien élevé… il donne une idée du Paris de toujours épousseté, certes, mais authentique.”
- Alexander Lobrano (2008) “Hearty, delicious sincere food…”
- Figaroscope (2008) “un nouveau arrive sans bousculer d’un oignon de blanquette ce conservatoire bistrotier sous casaque Ducasse… Benoît ferait encore dans le pâté en croûte, cassoulet, millefeuilles…Service sans faux pli.”
