We queued up for the 7.15pm opening hoping to get a table (really recommend you book and maybe choose a table you fancy?) We had eaten breakfast here and fancied coming back as that was tasty enough. The staff can seem a bit offish but it just seems to be their style, our waiter was just very efficient without wanting a lot of eye contact/chat it suited us. Starters were snails and the most amazing gravlax salmon with fresh ginger on a bed of something like meshed nutty seedlings as they say 'a taste sensation' Main, linguine with huge prawns and toasted crunch crumb topping and tender steak/chips/salad/Gorgonzola dip. Desert a fruit salad with so many different fruits and cream topped with...
All the staff were, as expected exceptionally professional, friendly, helpful. We were seated although we did not have a booking, in the bay window overlooking the Rue Des Halles/ Rue Gambetta. Lovely atmosphere, time your visit carefully and you WILL get a table...My husband and son opted for the cote de boeuf for two, it was huge...a meat fest with marrow on the bone the works. I chose the marinated tuna steak (sesame seed,ginger,soya) pureed root vegetables, my daughter opted for a fillet of white fish with frites. We shared a starter of chipirones, a good portion.

Large restaurant, but it quickly filled up this evening. Vi got an inside table, at the window, open to the outside, ideal to watch all the commotion around us. Foodwise, a well-assorted a la carte and some interesting daily specials; we had snails, duck breast and pasta with prawns, all to our liking. A good pomerol accompanied (nice to be in a country with only 2x markup to retail prices) and perfect service from the waiters.
Good lunchtime venue to watch the busy ambiance outside. Good food selection with many interesting menu options. Book if you can as it (deservedly) gets very busy.

We had a plate with snails to share and for main course the entrecôte accompanied as per usual with béarnaise and fries and a jug of green salad.
The snails
Fabulous dining al fresca @ this charming cafe! What a great meal..baguette burgers fish and chips and eggs Benedict. Yum..no one cooks like the French!
I love this placeWe came here twice, both times without a reservationThe tables book up in advance, but they made room for us at the bar.
Not acceptable. One hour waiting for one plate. The food is ok, but the service a complete disaster. I will not come back again.

Friendly staff, delicious food. We did have to wait a while between courses as it was so busy, but everywhere was busy.
A beef steak well done is something difficult in France. They have done it! Despite the crowd, the service was fast.
