The menu changes weekly but runs to dishes like one of the best roast chickens in Paris, veal Orloff and an off-beat take on a niçoise salad. The permanent menu includes such regulars’ favourites as steak with crispy fries, hake in a basquaise sauce (tomatoes, peppers and onions) and some seriously good cocktails. As any evening grows long, don’t be surprised if this place erupts into an impromptu dance party, since it pulls a younger, fun-loving clientele.
