Apr 12, 2026"I always presume that a café right next to a main station and will be either expensive or poor value. This place proved me wrong. The staff was so nice and welcoming. I had a coffee and an omelette which was fine nothing sensational but it was a really good stop just to figure out how to navigate paris upon arrival from the Eurostar."

Excellent, friendly, attentive and fast service with good selection of dishes which looked good and were much better than one would expect at such a location. Set menu is excellent value and crème brule was big enough for two. Recommended!"

With my 12 words of French and his 12 words of English it worked. Ambiance and character with locals filing in just for a cup of coffee on the way to catch their train across the street."
