Had the pleasure of having dinner over News Years. Great food owner/chef made sure everything was good..no..it was great and it didnt cost my Guy Savoy prices. Very homie really felt like Paris. Try it you wont go wrong. We went with the tasting menu and it was great around 60 per person.
Superb - will be back when I return to Paris

This was a great restaurant and a fabulous experience. The food was excellent, the service was fine. The head-chef / owner came out to talk to each table for a good 5-10minutes to check that everyone was enjoying themselves - he seemed both fascinated and thrilled that so many people had found his restaurant via Trip Advisor!
I wouldn't hesitate to come back here when I return to Paris.

My husband and I do love food and eating out and our evening here was fantastic. I would disagree with the previous writer about prices when we went on 17th Feb, as things were back to normal, not a valentine's special. Indeed my husband had a very similar degustation menu with four wines and I had the market menu with two wines, which all came to 108 euros. Absolute bargain for the standard, the quality of food, tastes, wines, atmosphere and friendliness (not always easy to find in Paris and I do speak more than passable Parisien french!) with the charmingly understated and modest chef, M. Pentecote coming out to talk to us a couple of times genuinely interested as to what we made of his food.
My husband's a big fan of Foie gras and also of scallops - both were on the tasting menu and the best he\s had! And the millefeuille pudding didn't really whet his appetite in description, but in reality, he was bowled over by the taste of the pastry.
M. Pentecote is titled a 'maitre cuisinier', one of only 300 such french chefs worldwide (Le Gavroche's Michel Roux's perhaps the one most Brits will recognise) and he's obviously more than earned his michelin star in the year that this resto has been open.
I wouldn't hesitate to go back at the drop of a hat. We're not extravagant people, we just like good quality for what we pay and we would have gladly paid another 40 euros for what we were given on Wednesday night.
The exterior is pretty and the interior very warm and inviting - it's not too difficult to find off the main Universite road. It's important to note that the cuisine will have a flavour of Brodeaux - M. Pentecote is from that region . . . which may explain why he's so friendly and inviting - a friend once told me that the warmest French citoyens are those from wine growing regions!
GO GO GO - you can book online in real time on the restaurant's own website.
