Reviews of interest
- 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!
