Overall strong menu, great beer & wine list — and they are open late. Plus, they have a full Sunday menu, unlike their neighbors in the Marais. The potatoes were fried wedges, with an additional side of string beans (haricots vert fins).

The only downside was that the steak was a rump steak, and not the filet I’m used to from NYC. But this is pretty standard over here: Pavé de boeuf au sauce poivre.

My favorite so far in Paris.
