Trusted reviews

• John Talbott (2009) “Very reasonable, simple, good food with no frills…”
• Barbra Austin (2009) “The menu is pedigreed, peppered with names of farmers and sources, and the preference for small and organic carries over to the wine list…”
• David Lebovitz (2009) “…if you like good ingredients, definitely not sourced from the local supermarché, prepared with simplicity and care, it’s a très bonne adresse…”
• Caroline Mignot(2008) “Formules déjeuner on ne peut plus efficaces et menus du soir…avec des noms comme qui diraient connus (le name dropping marche toujours aussi bien à Paris)…Pascal Beillevaire et ses bons beurres…Alain Passard et ses légumes…”
