Forget the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame, THIS is REAL Paris!
Situated down a slightly forbidding alleyway at the RUE DU FAUBOURG, just off BOULEVARD MONTMARTRE at the north east of Paris City Centre this is an absolute gem of an establishment, which up to now the Parisians have managed to keep very much for themselves!

Take the waiters' indifference for what it is: PURE RUDENESS!!
It is still too expensive for the quality of food it offers, our meal was frankly digusting and we didn't dare ordering dessert. It's a shame for all the little restaurants who are trying to do a good work.
The settings are truly nice but not worth this unpleasant experience. Plenty of real french brasseries serve a lot better food with same kind of prices but respect you as a customer, this is a real tourist-trap, don't go in there!
