What a fantastic experience. From the second we got here, the atmosphere was cozy, welcoming ,and honestly unassuming relative to the incredible quality of the food.
The wonderfully fresh and tasty bread, a cornerstone of French cuisine, set the bar for the meal to follow. We got some mussels in a white wine sauce and I found myself having to avoid looking like a greedy pig because they were incredible. I asked for a wine recommendation and they couldn't have served a more appropriate pairing with the mussels. We soaked up the wine sauce with the bread; at this point it was literally worth what we paid for the entire evening.
The main courses we got were lamb ribs and frog legs, each served with potatoes and vegetables. every single aspect of these dishes was divine. such relatively simple dishes danced around in an orchestra of complexity, seasonings complementing the nature of the taste of each respective meat. even the lowly potatoes somehow expressed an incredibly appropriate and satisfying taste and role within the dish. I didn't even know I liked potatoes until now, despite decades of trying. again, the wine pairings were on point, and complemented the flavors of each dish exactly as intended. each ingredient and wine was of an extremely high quality, needless to say.
dessert was two scoops of sorbet in a martini glass upon which perched a tick of mint. we got a small serving of grand marnier along with it. it was a light and pleasant conclusion to a wonderful meal. furthermore, I don't know if you could find better sorbet at a dedicated iced desserts establishment.
This is in the top three best meals and food experiences I've had in my life. I can't believe I hadn't been here yet, but I intend to make up for it. it was $70 for food and $40 for drinks but I would have paid $500 and been completely satisfied. The tip definitely reflected my overwhelming satisfaction.
If this sounds incredibly pretentious, it's because it is. I'm not even sorry. I urge you to go here so that you can revel in the culinary nirvana delivered by a little French lady carrying a smile and a plate of food. vive la France; vive le montmartre
La nourrite est delicieuse et le service est excellent et le tratement

Quaint atmosphere, slightly dated but carries the old French charm, lovely owner and sweet server, a little gem of a place this part of town. Food was delicious! Merci!
