Reviews of interest
- Aaron Ayscough (2012) “…if, thirteen years on, the restaurant’s cuisine and its wine list both show their age, great hospitality, thankfully, remains timeless…We knew we were being taken care of.”
- John Talbott (2011) “Friendly…one of the few places where English does not seem out of place…a tad above average.”
- Le Figaro (2011) “…ambiance survitaminée…flacons bien gaulés et une assiette étonnamment plaisante…”
- François Simon (2010) “Pour tout vous dire, lorsque je suis seul le soir, j’aime bien aller en début de service… Plat direct (ici un pigeonneau), et un petite carafe d’un vin bienveillant.”
- Alexander Lobrano (2010) “All told a decent, but unremarkable and uneven meal…the food at this very pleasant restaurant could, indeed should, be a lot better.”
- Patricia Wells “The food is always good and reliable, the bread outstanding…and the wine selection will never let you down.”
- François Simon (2009) “Toujours aussi british (quel plaisir parfois de ne pas entendre parler français à Paris) avec des plats chamarrés, pas loupés comme ce bar avec ses légumes. Que demandez de plus? Des bons vins comme ce domaine d’Aupilhac, en Languedoc Roussillon (38 €) et zou!”
- Le Fooding “Boire donne soif, mais il faut être raisonnable et manger aussi. Formule à 12,50 € au déjeuner (salade Caesar + pâtes) ou en quelque sorte un « Passion-boisson-poisson » (pas facile à dire) avec un menu à 25,50 € au déjeuner et 31,50-35 € le soir, déclinant velouté de céleri, œuf poché, filet de bar de ligne sur un risotto en fine émulsion « huile d’O et citron » pour suivre (+ 6 € au menu), et indéboulonnable panna cotta en bout de ligne. Pas si mal…”

I used to go to Paris 5 times per month with work, Fish was my Cheers. It is a place I could/can go to the bar, by myself, and always run into friends. Where everybody knew my name. I have never had a bad meal there and their Citrus Tart is the best I have ever had. Drew and his son are wonderful behind the bar, and Juan sure knows his wines. I will be traveling to Paris more frequently starting next month, and you can be sure, I will be pulling my stool up to the bar!
My husband and I had dinner there on Friday of Bastille Day weekend. The starters – salmon tartar and veal with tuna sauce, were huge, we could have shared just one and would have been enough. The salmon was very fresh and the rosy pink veal was thinnly sliced and very tasty. I would have liked aioli instead of the tuna sauce but it was still very good. We then had salmon and duck for our main courses. The duck was medium, just the way I like it with the skin, crisp and tasted pleasantly of the grill, the fat melted in the month. The salmon was just right and the salmon skin was to die for. I wished we could get that just by itself as a snack, it was habit forming. Not only was the food excellent, it is a price performer and we will definitely go back next time.
I guess they remodeled a bit. We were there for the first time last week and loved it. We met up with some friends who just happened to be in Paris at the same time and it was the perfect restaurant for that. Great wine list and fun food. My wife was raving about the chicken. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
