Fodor's Review:
Middle-aged Parisians are a nostalgic bunch, which explains the popularity of this down-to-earth venue from esteemed chef Christian Constant. This is a relatively humble bistro with cream-color walls, red banquettes and wooden tables. You can sometimes spot Constant relaxing in the dining room after the lunch rush; the chef seems to feel most at home here. The menu reads like a French cookbook from the 1970s -- who cooks veal cordon bleu these days? -- and, with Constant overseeing the kitchen, the dishes taste even better than you remember. There's a delicious creamy lentil soup with morsels of foie gras, and the artichoke salad comes with fresh -- not bottled or frozen -- hearts. A towering vacherin (meringue layered with ice cream) might bring this delightfully retro meal to a close.
