very small and a bit noisy when full, this restaurant provided a fine meal, with the appetizers being preferred over the entrees by our 4 person group. service and wine were quite good, and price was reasonable. fried steak and sausage and fish were choices for us, and each were good, not great. The sausage was the most unique, and... More

We had lunch in the restaurant few days ago. I ordered the Terrine de Canard for a starter. The terrine was really good, tastewise, portion wise but it was served only w/ some parsley as decor. I felt that some cornichons & a bit of salad greens would have made this starter better. For main course, I had the veal... More

We did research about places to eat before arriving in Paris and we are glad we did because it lead us to this restaurant. The food was EXCELLENT and the service could not have been kinder (they spoke English & the menu was in English). You will not believe the good value. The restaurant is very small and intimate so...

Had dinner here last night as per the recommendation of a Parisian friend . The food and service , plus the value for Paris was excellent . Tiny little place with about 6 tables gets a lot of repeat business. Had we stayed in Paris longer we would definitely gone back. Reservations usually needed, and they serve lunch .

I think this restaurant is made famous by the reviews on Tripadvisor. It is a tiny restaurant in an old building with only a few tables. When we ate there everyone around us was tourist. Food is okay, not spectacular, the raw tuna fish appetizer was quite nasty and unfresh, but the cook did prepare the cod main dish perfectly.... More

We were in Paris for vacation and wanted to try a typical restaurant. We had lunch there and I wouldn't say it is typically french but it is original for sure. The chef was polite and helpful, as he was cooking just beside our table. He was busy all time but could manage every order the waiter brought, while he... More

We enjoyed a late lunch at La Cordonnerie after spending several hours at The Louvre. We had read in advance about this place and knew it was nearby. Using our TripAdvisor App, it provided us with walking directions that took us down a tiny street to this equally tiny restaurant. I believe we were the last people sat since they... More

The place is small, almost tiny, but that is part of its charm. A warm quaint restaurant that I think is also where the owner/chef lives. When you walk in you walk straight into an area with two tables and the kitchen. Behind the counter is the lone chef taking care of everything himself, but he still stops to say... More

We are a family of 7 people so we booked the restaurant because I read that it is small. It is really a very small restaurant but atmosphere there is warm and food is excellent. The chef explained us everything about the food and the waiter was very friendly. Prices are acceptable (main dishes for example are about 20-24 euro).... More
