And the prices are really low : up to 12.9 euros max for a dish! And the quality is top-notch. The comforting poulet frites, for example, costs less than 10 euros and has everything you’d expect from a family dish: plenty of quantity and flavors to make your taste buds tingle!

And when it comes to dessert, you can go with your eyes closed! Special mention for the chocolate mousse, 2.5 euros, perfectly chocolaty and airy! If you’re not too much on the “chocolate” team, we can only recommend the house floating island, which is like a cloud in your mouth.

As you’ll have gathered, Cantine Diderot is a great address, where quality doesn’t have to mean “going broke”. The proof: you’ll leave the table with the desire to return the very next day. But be warned: the restaurant’s success means it’s often overbooked! We therefore advise you to reserve your place as soon as possible to be sure of getting in…
