I'm not really a desert lover but the mille feuille de timbre is the kind of desert I do find hard to pass over.

I had the soup and mille feuille too (magret de canard for my main). I wanted to like it, I really did, but something was off.<br /><br /> Service, though as you mentioned, was lovely. <br /><br />Good review!Melanie Seasonshttp://omnomlondon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233280340001754175.post-88091596413909365152009-06-13T21:10:39.809+01:002009-06-13T21:10:39.809+01:00It looks delicious!

I often make a pasta sauce using anchovies and onions, fried very slowly so that they caramelise and it's a favourite of mine, so it definitely works!Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233280340001754175.post-38335868600227623732009-06-11T17:50:27.207+01:002009-06-11T17:50:27.207+01:00Thanks Gourmet Chick - I love the black and white ...Thanks Gourmet Chick - I love the black and white pics too.<br /> <br />Boo - they were really friendly and didn't hesiate to sort something out for me (I imagine many places in Paris wouldn't have bothered...).<br /> <br />Caitlin - It's in a lovely spot just near the gardens too, so plan a lunch and then a stroll to work off the calories (and fuzzy booze head!).<br /> <br />It would have been amazing value if the pound was still strong against the euro, but as it was I certainly didn't feel it was expensive for the quality.

To be fair, it's probably not the sort of place you'd want to go for a romantic one on one (it really is that small!) but we found it perfectly quaint for a relaxed weekday lunch.
