"A quintessential Parisian bistro with tightly packed tables, moody lighting, and an open‑door breeze, serving classic, ingredient‑forward French dishes prepared with skill and restraint. Since its 1997 opening by a husband‑and‑wife team it has become a beloved institution—expect rosy roast beef with velvety mashed potatoes, a glossy boeuf bourguignon, impeccable steak‑frites with creamy pepper sauce, and deceptively simple desserts like vanilla ice cream with strawberries and currants executed without flaw." - ByBon Appétit Staff & Contributors
