Description

This cheerful, trendy eatery stands in a side street off the busy Rue Sainte Catherine. From his tiny kitchen at the rear of the dining room, chef Benjamin Wavrant whips up a bargain-priced bistronomic lunchtime menu that changes weekly in line with the seasons and market availability. The evening score is more ambitious and voluntarily gastro-leaning. A buzzy vibe, spot-on, gutsy food and slick, seamless service: the epitome of a good food establishment that draws us back time and time again.
