The secret garden is the real draw—it's a genuine countryside retreat hidden from the street. Request garden seating when you reserve, especially on sunny days.
Call +33 1 45 22 13 42 to book. Garden tables fill quickly in good weather. The terrace doesn't take walk-ins, but the interior room is more flexible.
The interior is mahogany, red velvet, and retro film posters—old-school Parisian bistro decor. It's small and intimate, not for groups larger than 4-5.
Sundays are great for the garden—friendly neighborhood crowd, less touristy than other Paris bistros, morning garden ambiance.
