01 48 42 85 90
One of the 15th arrondissement's best-known names, run by a female duo. The cuisine is meticulously prepared, drawing on the traditional, but allowing for welcome touches of originality, such as the tomato confit vinaigrette that accompanied the meltingly tender chuck of beef at lunchtime.
