The food is really good and service amazing. Diana attended to me and was very thoughtful and helpful The atmosphere is nice. But could have a little more essence. May be some French music in the back ground or something. But overall very good.

No reservation but we were able to get seated right away during the week. Expect a bunch of traffic getting there. The steak and frite was everything I could hope for. Highly recommend the chocolate cake!

Found a gem in Mexico City, you don’t have to go to Paris to have the famous steak and frites with their famous sauce. We came in on Sunday night and they had a lot of open tables but you should make reservations. They obviously only serve steak and frites and they’re masters of the dish, the meat was cooked to perfection and the fries crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They have a great selection of desserts and pastries. Friendly staff and nice place.

This has been my to-go place for anniversaries and treating myself. I love the traditional menu and I absolutely love the desserts. Fernanda was my last server and she was such a sweetheart, her dessert reco was 10/10.
