| - After having failed to enjoy a nearby food festival, we stumbled on this very nice French bistro, with classy service, and excellent food.
Despite the proximity of the boulevard, the charming rooftop terrasse was surprisingly quiet in that late-August evening.
I had the Spanish octopus, and that was the best octopus I ever had in my life. I did not know octopus could be made so tender! It was served on a bed of crunchy bokchoi, edamame, grilled almonds, small kalamata olives, and chorizo. Absolutely divine! My husband had the grilled sea bass, with honey glazed carrots and mashed potatoes and that very well executed as well.
A special mention to one of the waiters, from southern France, for his attentiveness, politeness, and overall professionalism. One of his male colleagues, however, could benefit from a remedial course in the art of smiling. One could do without that particular part of the "French experience."
If you are looking for the perfect Friday night date, in a genuine French atmosphere that will not break the bank, that's where.
