Press review
What the sources say.
Excerpts from 5 editorial mentions cross-referenced by Gatto.
“The slightly battered back streets of the 12th arrondissement don’t immediately suggest a good quality bistro specialising in seasonal, local produce.”
timeout.com “Aubergiste complice, sommelier voyageur (ayant entre autres bourlingué aux USA chez Michel Richard chez Citronelle à Washington DC & Patroon à NYC), et « last but not least » issu d’une lignée de vignerons ligériens, Thierry Bruneau veille avec doigté et malice sur la destinée d’un ébauchoir haut…”
gillespudlowski.com “Cette belle institution séduit dès le premier coup d’œil avec sa bouille de grand bistrot alliant charme, patine et convivialité. Ici, on fait le plein d’une clientèle plutôt jeune et “boboïsante”, choyée par un personnel speedé mais charmant.”
