I have to go at least once a month. Love the cheeseburger, the steak frites & the service. Haven’t had anything on the menu I didn’t like !

They had a filet mignon & fois gras special that may be my favorite entrée in all of Bed Stuy. The rest of the food was very good as well, but the frog legs could have been seasoned more liberally. That said, our waiter was kind and attentive, the interior was extremely welcoming, and I very much look forward to going back.

Cute spot with a warm atmosphere. Wasn’t blown away by the food and flavors in general. We had the mussels and tartar to start, which were both just alright. The fish of the day (cod) was tasty, however the steak was not cooked well – chewy and hard. Chocolate mousse and hazelnut ice cream were also alright. Service was friendly.

Excellent, cozy restaurant. Great for a date night. Romantic. Excellent wine selection and the food was divine! And these were just the appetizers. I forgot to photograph the actual meal. Service of course was great! You can’t have great food and poor service. They earned their stars! You should rsvp though!

My boyfriend and I decided to drop in without a reservation, and we were fortunate to be seated just in time for the busy dinner rush. The restaurant was fully booked, but the service was exceptional. Our waitress was fantastic—she provided clear and concise descriptions of the menu items, making our choices easy.

I was starving so ordered the steak tartare since it would come to the table quickly since it’s raw. The presentation of it looks very pretty just when I scooped up some to put on a piece of bread the egg yolk popped and started dripping nice and evenly. I opted for the burger cooked medium rare, and it was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth. The burger looked substantial, a testament to its lack of added preservatives. My boyfriend chose the steak frites, and the steak was impressively thick and flavorful, showcasing the freshness of the ingredients. One wall proudly displays their local farm suppliers, which speaks to their commitment to quality.

The frites, a nod to their French inspiration, were perfectly crispy and absolutely lived up to my expectations. You can truly taste the freshness in every bite. Don’t hesitate—make a reservation and experience this gem for yourself!

The food was good, the service was ok. Nice place to eat if you are in the area. I like the steak tartare but in my opinion the portion was too big, the burger was ok but didn’t have that special something to make it memorable, the salad was not special. But overall the flavors were on point.

My first time to a surprisingly lovely, small and quiet French bistro in Brooklyn. I came here on a Monday so it wasn’t too busy. The atmosphere is intimate and not too noisy. Wine selection is surprisingly adequate for a place of this size. Service was attentive and polite without being overbearing. I did not have an issue with the level of service or the speed the dishes were served.

The ingredients are fresh and it appears to be locally sourced. However, their menu is limited to a few fishes but I guess this is all about quality control with a smaller kitchen. We tried their steak tartare, salad Nicoise, poulet aux Morilles, and le canard a l’orange. Each dish was excellent tasting and presented properly. You can tell the chef puts in effort nd heart into each thing that comes out of the kitchen. Each ingredient serves a purpose to the dish and compliments each other. The chef also seems to be well versed in the use of different salts to control the savory level and bring out the taste of the dish. I don’t usually see this too often so a definite compliment to their chef! I’ll need to return to explore their other selections in the future.

Update: Been there several times now. Food and service have been consistently good and on par. Each time their soups have been a star (different each time).

L’escargot with bone marrow and foie gras was delicious. Don’t forget to dip the marrow sauce with some bread!

They have a filet mignon special that matched all the ingredients such as foie gras and potatoes seemlessly like a medley. Definitely worth a try if it’s offered.

Mussels and fries are the way to go 🙂 The chicken dish looked delicious too but I didn’t try it.

Great ambience and service. The passion fruit dessert was tasty + tart.

We went here yesterday and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The burger was underwhelming – the beef lacked flavor and the bun was not good at all. Most importantly, we noticed a fly inside our water bottle after already drinking a couple of cups from it. When we pointed this out to the waitress, her reaction was unprofessional; instead of apologizing, she asked “how did this come there?” which felt dismissive and uncomfortable. She had also told us earlier that the burger was her favorite, but when we mentioned the bun wasn’t good, she admitted she didn’t like it either – very inconsistent.

Despite these issues, we still paid our bill with a 10% tip, but we will definitely not be returning.
