"This place was packed! But we were able to get a table. Considering the number of people there the service was quick and attentive. This may have been a “tourist trap” but the prices were really good and the food was really nice. It is what I imagine a traditional French brasserie to be like; hectic, wait-staff with large trays carrying an impossible number of dishes, locals. I loved it and would definitely visit again!"

"If you’ve had good food before, you’ll know the food here is bland, tasteless, and does not live up to French standard. Even the salt wasn’t salty. The silverware was not clean. I went through three since the first two had food remnants on them (see napkin in picture). There was also a piece of foil baked into my mozzarella that I bit into (see plate in picture). If it wasn’t for the fact that we were turned away from three different restaurants for not having reservations and having been very hungry from traveling all day, we wouldn’t have eaten here. The power also went out but that is normal. Lovely location. If you want edible, this is your choice. Or maybe for a quick drink?"

"Your casual brasserie, offering all the classics. The rooms decoration is art deco. Food is fresh and has a good price/quality ratio. Popular terrace. Service is efficient and welcoming."

"A busy place on the corner of the Cours Mirabeau but great service, really good food - plat du jour salade gourmand and merguez couscous then very good desserts. A lively atmosphere - quintessentially French - and lovely decor."

"A very quirky French café and brasserie with a very, very long history. The prices are excellent 👌 and I recommend the Baignat or the Croque Monsieur/ Madame! The mannerisms of some of the waiters is just funny and tbh quirky. Don't believe half the stuff you read re: reviews. If you want to take pictures inside (particularly Les cigales ceramique!) and the interior- you should ask permission, they told me that people usually don't. One for the entomologists for sure!!
