This eclectic hotspot artfully blends the charm of a classic brasserie with casual flair, serving up a diverse menu that caters to both traditional and contemporary tastes.

Playing Jethro Tull in a bar should pretty much explain everything about the place. Nice place with great staff. Very casual. Closest thing it reminded me of was Berlin. Food was OK not amazing (and not Berlin prices).

Good bar with a decent selection of beverages and food. The music was a bit loud so having long conversations isn't really possible. Good place for a quick drink in the area though.

Delicious stake and sausage. The crew speak English and was very hospitable. Really recommend, especially for those who want to visit some local, non-tuoristic restaurants.

We rented a flat nearby for a week and walked by this place often. It is always busy and lively every time we walked by. We had our brunch here and was pleasantly surprised. The waitress was very nice and the food was good and affordable. Will come back before we leave for sure.

Whoever was doing their work in the Bloc Batignolles gastronomic area, we were thrilled. From the sea bream to the Maguro Tataki, in addition to the perfect accompaniment to the vegetables...a feast for the eyes and the palate, accompanied by very pleasant service. We'll be back...a recommendation

Great bar in the 17th. Extended terrasse during the summer and two floors room inside where you can always find where to sit. Good food (burgers/ salads) at reasonable prices, enjoy some good wine / beer in a comfortable setting. Close around 1-2 am.
