Cafe is good, but not very authentic... There are several dishes missing from the menu which should have been there.. e.g. fish and chips, mushroom saute, potato wedges...

I went on my own slightly before 8pm on a week night. While the waiter was a bit cold, the order came in fast for both food and drink. I got myself a rumsteak with fries and a fancy ice-cream as dessert along a cocktail to start it all. Yhe meat was good, not the finest but a clear cut above many other places I have been. All in all a nice place to eat and drink if you are in the neighbourhood.

I came for a pint, a creamy delight, The Guinness was perfect — dark as the night. The staff all smiled, they softened the tone, For surely this pub’s heart isn’t its owner alone. He grumbled and frowned, as legends foretold, A Parisian myth in manners of old. Yet still I’ll return, for the craic and the cheer Just maybe not stand too close when he’s near! Also happy hour good value (for Paris)
