| - This was our second time at Les Deux Gamins - we always try to include one French place on our trip. Food-wise, the experience was consistent with last time. This time around, I got the foie gras to start, and lamb shank for main dish - she got the goat cheese salad and steak. Most notably, they give very large portions here for French cuisine (which is a good thing, some places sacrifice substance for presentation) - I was completely stuffed by lamb at the end of the meal. The meat was also very tender, especially for lamb which can be tough at some places. I think they could downsize the meat and upsize the accompaniment a bit, but really just a minor complaint.
Service wise everyone was very friendly. I do have to say, it was a 100% different experience coming here in the summer vs the winter. In the winter we were probably 1 of 4 couples in the entire place, seated by a cozy fire. In the summer this time around, the place was jammed pack, and even with a reservation we got seated indoors (there is a large outdoor area). However, we were still close to the window and most importantly, the service didn't seem to suffer too much from this.
Great place overall.
