If you're solo this place is friendly and keeps a great one-seat table. Left of the door, It has best view of the room & the street. Flaneur, flaunt your inner Flaubert!

Thankfully, the delicious food and warm atmosphere made up for the severely lacking service. Only go if you have an hour and a half to spare and don't mind dirty glasses.

Get the confiture crepe with apricot jam, à la mode. So delicious. Also, the La Danielle crepe was super good.
