The
food
was
alright,
but
the
team
effort
here
is
impressive.
For
a
cafe
in
Paris,
this
place
is
actually
very
spacious,
with
plenty
of
outdoor
seating,
a
lengthy
bar,
and
several
couches,
and
a
foosball
table
if
that
strikes
your
fancy.
We
were
here
one
night
when
it
was
pouring
outside.
The
outdoor
seating
area
was
covered
with
glass
doors
and
an
awning,
but
the
rain
coming
down
was
forcing
the
awning
to
cave
in.
That
whole
area
was
starting
to
flood,
so
the
guests
moved
inside.
Meanwhile,
the
staff,
including
bartenders
and
waitresses,
rushed
out
there
to
get
brooms
and
anything
with
enough
reach
to
push
the
water
off
of
the
awning
and
onto
the
street.
Some
of
the
water
still
forced
its
way
in,
drenching
the
staff
members.
As
the
rain
came
down
relentlessly,
their
efforts
seemed
futile,
but
I
respect
their
dedication.

Planche
Mixte
-
Swiss,
Comte,
brie,
and
prosciutto,
salame,
jambon
with
cornichons
and
lettuce
leaves
,
and
baguette:
Our
sweet
waitress
told
us
that
the
charcuterie
and
cheese
board
would
be
plenty
of
food
for
two
people.
The
meats
and
cheeses
were
not
bad,
but
it
whet
our
appetite
for
more.
The
waitress
was
amused
by
our
rather
surprisingly
large
appetites.

Croque
Madame
-
ham
and
cheese
sandwich
with
fried
egg,
lettuce
leaves,
and
small
basket
of
fries:
A
decent
sandwich
with
a
crunchy,
crispy
cheese
on
the
outside.
The
fried
egg
had
a
nice,
runny
middle,
but
I
would
have
liked
it
if
the
edges
of
the
egg
white
weren't
dried
up,
and
also
would
have
been
nice
if
the
egg
was
fused
into
the
sandwich
to
form
one
entity,
instead
of
an
eggg
lying
atop
of
a
sandwich.
The
fries
were
okay,
but
the
salad
was
just
a
little
wilted.

Pink
Paloma,
Saint
Germain
Spritz,
Pear
Fizz:
The
drinks
we
ordered
were
very
reasonably
priced.
Very
light
and
refreshing,
nothing
crazy,
but
they
did
come
with
glow-in-the-dark
straws.
Interesting
touch.
Originally
we
came
for
a
couple
of
drinks
and
snacks,
but
once
it
started
raining,
we
decided
to
delay
our
exit,
and
ended
up
eating
a
very
full
meal.
