    Excellent place to get a quick bite and help a good cause just for 9 euros! You buy a yearly pass for around 15 euros and then all your lunches will only cost you 9 Euros per meal. Do not expect cordon bleu cuisine it is still a nice tasty meal including entrée, plat and dessert. Don't miss the lovely lady greeting you with "'Cherie" when serving you your free coffee! Most personnel here are volunteers!

    I'm really glad I went here for lunch on my short stay in Paris. Just a heads up, this is not your regular restaurant; it is run by volunteers and you need a 7euro yearly membership (plus 9euros for three courses) to eat here. The food is very fresh and tastes homemade (If you could make gourmet French food at home that is).

    Interesting place indeed ! You buy a pass (10€/yr) then you pay a menu (inexpensive) which gives you a choice of a starter, main and dessert. Drinks extra and sometimes coffee offered. To try and at least once 😊

    Great concept. I happened to go alone and was joined at my table by a local, who bought me a coffee and introduced me to the wait staff after lunch. This is a real bargain and a good way to get away from the crowds and possibly make a new friend or two in the city.

    Absolutely the most wonderful hidden gem in all of Paris. The volenteer staff are absolutely amazing at this incredible establishment. Never have I seen so much genuine devotion and truly putting the best possible foot forward, in the name of charity! All whilst getting the most delightful, yet affordable lunch in all of Paris! It's almost a secret one wants to keep for oneself, but I just know that the proceeds make a difference. Will absolutely be back!!

    A hidden tunnel restaurant under a church. This place really vibey as if I’m brought back the the medieval century. This is my very first meal of my trip to Paris, the service here are considerate and made me feel welcome to the romantic city. The lunch set here is reasonable with tasty desserts after the main course. Hopefully I can visit again:)

    An excellent alternative for a lunch in Paris! Kinds volunteers and quite good food. For occasional consumers the price is around 16€ but if you're going to eat there more than one time, my adwice is to make the card for abitual consumers and pay just 9€.

    This place was really good. Relatively low prices for a really nice meal. The service was really nice. They knew very little English, but my family and I were able to get through with just miming. The servers were extremely accommodating despite not being able to converse with us. We had a couple of different options for each course, and each person picked on. It was a really nice experience.

    Simple food without prétention. The concept is simple, every menu dish wish is served then redistributed to people in need.
