Venu dans ce restaurant par hasard, quelle belle surprise si vous ne cherchez pas un lieu sophistiqué. Excellente cuisine simple " comme à la maison". Une excellente ratatouille avec en prime la gentillesse de la cuisinière. Accueil très agréable. Je recommande sans limites.

C’était exquis et je ne parle pas seulement des plats mais aussi de l’accueil, de l’endroit exceptionnellement charmant comme ce qu’il se trouve de mieux en France, ainsi que de la dame qui nous a servi, tendre et simplement gentille. Une belle expérience partagée en compagnie des mes amis de Paris

Une mamie de 80 ans, qui continue à concocté des petits plats simples, mais bien bon. Un seul menu proposé, mais il ne manque rien. Tout y est Une entrée, petite crudités avec charcuterie Plat du jour, viande avec garniture. Un morceau de fromage. Dessert. Tout cela pour un prix très très correct A conseiller .
