Mussels and fries and sit in the back to get the real bistro feel
Fun place to drink when there's live music, but service leaves much to be desired. Cash/Amex only.
Onion soup gratinée, Les moules provençales with frites, Late night giant Bar Tabac Burger...should I stop?
For the best service be a Francophile ... Or a regular. Or both.- The duck salad is pleasantly indulgent. Fried brie on top!
Love the snail appetizer. Great location on Smith Street in the heart of Cobble Hill.
I love love the goat cheese salad. This place is always fresh and delicious.
Recession ArtAugust 9, 2010Avocado stuffed with tender fresh crab! Pernod served out of an offical Ricard glass. Great experience.
- you wouldn't expect it since it's a French restaurant but the burger is one of the best in the city
Olivier S.May 26, 2014Nice French restaurant but $7 for a Ricard is a rip off .. And they only accept amex and cash..the food is alright
Kate FurstApril 12, 2011Meh. Dinner wasn't that exciting. French fries are tasty and pan seared fish special was good. Outdoor seating was lovely. Moules were flavorless
Tanguy CoenenDecember 9, 2009had a great cocq-au-vin and they have draught blonde leffe. nice live music, too...
christineFebruary 2, 2011They do not have half-price wine night on Mondays. The wine, however, is reasonably priced.
suzanne stouteOctober 2, 2011Avoid this place! The bread came to the table cold and our waitress said the staff were to busy to heat it up! Then it took more than 45 minutes for a plate of mussels to arrive and they were bland!
Katie ChildsDecember 4, 2014Expensive & kinda smells like toilet, but in that way, very authentically French.
arguably best bar in the area for hanging out in nice weather
