After eaves dropping on an English conversation at a nearby table I was able to ascertain that this place has quite a following in the area and is very popular with film and theatre fraternity. Apparently you can occasionally catch a famous actor or director dining in there, unfortunately I didn’t get to see Audrey Tautou =( I must admit to being a little worried when I heard beeping microwaves in the background after I placed my order but there was no need to be concerned as the dishes served where absolutely fantastic! I had Terrine of Rabbit for entre' and guinea fowl with linguine for main. The Terrine was served with an excellent salad of peppery rocket, semi sundried tomatoes. The Guinea Fowl was superbly cooked and served with a light reduction sauce with Morel Mushrooms and I think a game stock. All washed down with a carafe of Syrah, Cabernet, Merlot & Grenache blend. Thanks for the write up on this otherwise I would never have known this little gem existed! Hey Matt,

I spend 7 days in Paris in October and absolutely fell in love. Didn't get to spend much time around Monmarte though... next time! If you have many more photos of Paris I'd love to see them. I've uploaded mine on Facebook. Renato. Reading this makes me very home sick! I spend 7 days in Paris in October and absolutely fell in love.

I MUST get myself there, so I can experience the joys of Paris too. Beautifully expressed, and the photos that accompany the story just take it to another level.

You captured the gastronomic essence of Paris perfectly. Photos are great too, I have an almost identical photo to #8 albeit during the day.
