A find. Out of the way in safe, but dingy Chinatown. Warm greeting, high-energy ambiance. “Wine bistro”. Unusual, inexpensive wines. Miniscule kitchen.
Very good.
Friendly, professional.

Don’t bother. Too cool for its own good, and surely for ours. Way out in the 20th, plus a long walk from the metro. Reportedly an Alain Sederens collaboration, but Lucas Carton it’s not. Formula lunch uninspired. Limited choice menu. No better than competent execution.
Maybe they do more at dinner, but nothing at lunch remotely memorable except the time it took to get there.
Warm and friendly – as in “Mama Shelter”.
Reasonable prices. 19€ entrée and plat, plus 8€ for dessert.
