Traipsing down Rue Oberkampf on a Saturday evening can be grueling (if you happen to run into a group of pub crawling tourists), surprising (finding yourself faced with walls of artwork completely dedicated to Frank Zappa) and thoroughly enjoyable-if you stumble across this lucky find.
Framed by dark woods and worn prints on the walls, stepping into this rambunctious nook is like stepping back in time to some ‘40s Parisian Bistro. The dining spaces towards the back and downstairs buzz with satisfied gourmandizers sampling from kitchen’s French menu (the confit du canard and Cassoulet are unmissable), while the bar area up front overflows with young patrons lounging to a mix of M.I.A, drum’n’bass and Bollywood tunes, sipping very well-priced beers and trading barbs with the jocular (and very reliable) bar staff.
Come Sunday brunch, the roaring laughter and bavarderie of local twentysomethings and young families fills tastefully decorated salon and boasts a tempting (and filling) array of yogurts, fruits, charcuterie, pancakes and breads.
