What people say

"We went here for YEARS and never had a disappointing meal except once after COVID and things were starting to open up. That said a lot of restaurants were making cut backs around that time just to survive so we wouldn't hesitate to go back here again. Quite traditional and good. Menus are NOT in english so be prepared to be surprised with what you get if you don't speak good french. Quite busy---if you want to do lunch make sure you arrive at 12 prompt and watch the queues grow. The desserts here are especially fab. They also have a deli next door to get sandwiches. Was featured in the TV show 'Somebody Feed Phil' (Netflix) which I'd highly recommend. "

"In the bustling Odeon district, and right next to its esteemed offshoots ("L'Avant Comptoir de la Mer" and "L'Avant Comptoir de la Terre"), this restaurant is a delight. Great location, wonderful food, and very fair prices. Pro tip: If you stop by one of the "L'Avants" beforehand ("L'Avant" means before...), you can bring any unfinished small plates and wine with you to the restaurant, since they share the same owner. Continuous service from noon - 11 PM. "

"Located near Saint-Germain-des-Prés, this cozy bistro is run by Chef Yves Camdeborde, one of the pioneers of "bistronomy" (high-quality cuisine in a casual setting). The menu changes with the seasons but includes French classics with modern twists, such as lamb stew or tuna tartare. Reservations are a must, as this spot is extremely popular among both locals and tourists."
