"Easy place to eat while waiting for a train. Service was quick, but the waiter should write it down as he missed two items we gave. Food was good. Place is nice. Bathroom is down stairs so not accessible."

"Managing to provide true French atmosphere just over the road from Gare du Nord deserves credit. Excellent, friendly, attentive and fast service with good selection of dishes which looked good and were much better than one would expect at such a location. Set menu is excellent value and crème brule was big enough for two. Recommended!"

"Wonderful breakfast londonian. Came here three times including once for crepes. Delicious. Orange juice was somehow just amazing. The waiters were great. With my 12 words of French and his 12 words of English it worked. Ambiance and character with locals filing in just for a cup of coffee on the way to catch their train across the street."
