N+1 sur Paris

04/04/2024: Mixed by the experience which was not horrible but not necessarily great either. First of all, we came around 4 p.m. on a Friday and after we were outside it took a long time for the waiter to notice us. After giving us the card and although there weren't many people there at the time, he took another 15 minutes to come and ask us what we wanted and so on. The happy hour menu is very restrictive, their homemade lemonade is quite fragrant and not very sweet, the charcuterie board itself is good but what a disappointment to see all the salad hidden underneath. A short moment before telling us that what we had chosen for dessert was not available, the crème brûlée is good but nothing more. Furthermore, the toilets are not practical given where they are positioned but they were relatively clean. The place is certainly charming and rather well positioned but it's not necessarily a bar/brasserie to which I want to return.

02/04/2024: Maître de l'hotel was obviously on a night off from Fouquets - a level of service and poise you would not expect in such an intimate, family friendly, yet adult setting. A gentle hum of relaxed indistinguishable conversations filled the 'room' and the children around us very much picked up on the vibe. Happy tired faces left the bistro, whilst we enjoyed our food and the house red - which was a little better than it ought to have been. A very very pleasant way to end the day. Merci a tous!
