Reviews of interest
- Caroline Mignot (2011) “Décor contemporain, équipe aux petits oignons, quant à la carte, j’ai envie de tout commander…Côté prix ça va.”
- François-Régis Gaudry – L’Express (2011) “décor néorustique bayonnisé…une sincère collection de plats bien dans leurs basques, avec tout ce qu’il faut de bons produits et de bonnes idées.”
- Alexander Lobrano (2011)”All told, there’s talent in the kitchen here and they work with excellent produce, but as perhaps a reflection of this neighborhood, prices are stiff for rather ungenerous portions…and cooking times need real attention. Still, I’d happily go back…and it’s good news that Paris has a serious new showcase of Basque cooking.”
- John Talbott (2011)”…sharp, clean, edgy decor…I started with the Basque (Ibaïona) charcuterie…delicate, light ham, two types of sausage of varying spiciness and the famed boudin noir, which went on the terrifically crusted bread like it was made for it…”
- Gilles Pudlowski (2011) “…la petite adresse basque de l’été…Leur carte sonne juste, leur petit menu du midi impeccable, le service encore un peu mou et l’atmosphère est encore en rodage. Mais côté qualité, on retrouve l’esprit Constant…”
