“ Tucked away hidden gem - good fish and chips - good prices - large portions - friendly staff. Nice to find a clean quiet dining spot away from the crowded shopping streets. ”
“ Not sure where to begin. Without a doubt one of the best fish n chips on the planet! The cod was freshly cooked making it crispy and fragrant from the light batter used in the process. The option of either tartar or curry sauce to accompany the dish was wonderful. I went for both and was charged extra but who cares right. The lunchtime crowd is busy for takeaways but dining in was not a problem even during peak times. The service was pleasant and I did not feel rushed. I will definitely come back on my next trip to Paris as this place is worth the long flight from where I come from! A must try if you like fried crispy fish. ”
“ Good Fish & chips, and pleasant service. Cooked to order, so takes a bit of time. The food is genuine good, and certainly the best fish & chips I've had in Paris. Mushy peas are good too, but only a small pot of them. Worth a try if you're near, worth a journey across Paris if you're not ”
“ Good taste. High quality. Friendly service. Best fish and chips in Paris. Definitely come back. ”
“ Finally managed to find amazing British fish and chips in Paris!! This café is tiny, and a bit harder to find (you have to go through a passage) but it's definitely worth it. The staff were lovely and the food was amazing, it tasted just like fish and chips back home in Britain. ”
“ I've tested many fish and chips in paris, the UK, and even Australia! As a self confessed lover of all things to do with potatoes, let's just say I've tasted enough to know that during my first bite of a chip here, I knew it was good. The chips are thick and crispy, and well seasoned. The batter on the cod was simply light and tasty. I often leave the batter because it's too heavy for me, but this was so light I finished it all. The fish was left nicely cooked, still moist and broke down perfectly. I took my "cod fish" menu at 12.80 to go, and the mushy peas spilt everywhere... a lid would be nice for the container. However not even one for mushy peas.. these were great and I could eat them. Price wise, maybe a little bit more expensive than you'd want to pay for the portions or if you think about fish and chips in general. However for Paris (and other fish and chip places in Paris), this seems reasonable, and even more so with the quality. Seriously amazing. ”
“ We’ve eaten here several times. The fish and chips are very authentic! Everything is good. The owners of the restaurant are very helpful and considerate. On top of great food, they’ve got great staff! ”
