L'Express

Open since 1980, this long-standing Saint-Denis Street landmark anchors the Plateau’s dining scene. Designed as a faithful, never kitschy Parisian brasserie, it pairs black-and-white tile floors, a zinc bar, burgundy banquettes and mirrored walls with warm light and crisp white tablecloths, all beneath a striking glass roof that frames the rhythm of city life. The menu celebrates timeless French brasserie classics alongside seasonal daily specials, plus an excellent wine selection. Polished career waiters deliver classic, friendly service, while a cult jar of pickles and sharp mustard sets the tone from the first moment.
