We stopped for lunch on our way home from an event downtown. It was our first time visiting. The place is very cute and has A LOT of decorations by the way of live plants, pictures, and sports memorabilia. We sat in the brighter front room by the window. There were few folks in the place by the time we left at 1:10pm.

Our server was very friendly and accommodating, but we wished he would have introduced himself (pet peeve of mine). We ordered the mussels and frites, the Poulet Basquaise, and a side of French green beans. The mussels were very traditional with a butter, white wine, garlic, celery, and onion prep, which is my favorite. I know fries are fries, but these were some of the best we have had in a long time. The Poulet (i.e. chicken dish) is like an open-faced chicken pot-pie with mushrooms, peas, bechamel, and puff pastry. It is true comfort food that we thought needed some acid or a touch of hot sauce. It is served with a huge bed of lettuce dressed in a balsamic vinaigrette and nothing else. The French green beans were tasty and garlicy, but were not true haricots verts. They were just green beans.

Parking was easy because it was noon on a Weds., but I can see how it would be hard on the weekends.

Authentic French food from a French chef with cool French radio playing.

Got the French "chicken pot pie" but in a puff pastry.

This spot is a JEM!

The food is DELICIOUS, the staff were really friendly, portions were MASSIVE, and the back patio was such a vibe.

This might have been one of my favourite spots in 2025. Definitely go here!

Cozy Southern France bistro with a flair for middle eastern ingredients. Mussels are the favorite here though you can’t go wrong with their menu selection. I had the grilled shrimp and it was some of the best I’ve had in the city. The bread and butter is served cold so be sure of that.
