Very nice restaurant, very lively and from my point of view very french, bistro-style, no fancy stuff. Not many tourists there. The food is basque, if i remember correctly, with a great selection of cheese and sausages and excellent desserts.
i cannot really remmember the prizes, but i did not think it was expensive for eating out in paris.
Favorite Dish: just order a mixed dish of ... suasages,
and try the basque cake.

This restaurant is an institution in the district "la butte aux cailles" !!
The atmospher is definitly unique and definitly french in this place.
This restaurant is not very big and the decoration very simple but all the rest is excellent .
They serve specialites from south west of france very good and not expensive at all like cassoulet, duck, etc...
It's always full, even when you come after midnight, so, you can't reserve.
If you want to try this restaurant ( and I strongly recommend it ), be patient, put your name on the waiting list, have a drink at the bar or just in front of the restaurant in the street with your friends and after few minutes, you should have a good french diner !!!
Favorite Dish: My favorite dish is "escalop de veau montagnarde", a dish excellent especially in winter.
Imagine, patatoes with an escalop on it, recovered of slides of country ham, and finally, a mix of melting cheese and a cream with mushrooms that recovers everythning !!!

The atmosphere is very good (young), but inside is quite small. So be ready to share a table with somebody else (forget this place for a romantic moment !) Moreover, it's not possible to book, so be ready to wait a while, outside, of course;-)
Favorite Dish: There are a lot of kind of salats, choose one randomly, it will be good, trust me.
