I LOVE this place. It’s on a beautiful little side street away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Every time I visit I come here because it’s a small local restaurant with amazing food and service (they even have soothing French music in the background). This place is truly a unique gem! Do yourself a favor and experience it.

Great little French-style cafe. Look forward to the day when it might be possible to have a glass of wine or sip a Ricard to go along with the excellent omelettes, quiches and sandwiches.

Friendly & attentive staff! Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Did not feel rushed to hurry up and eat my food. I had to try the croque monsieur and iced cappuccino. Delicious. Perfect brunch spot.

A knockout French Cafe. Made me truly feel as if I were back in Paris..without the attitude. Were it located closer to where we are staying (almost an hour away) I’m sure we would have returned several times. Guillaume, the owner, is as pleasant as he is professional and the staff are all delightful. Food, ambience and service all first class!

What a great place. This came highly recommended by my friend who lives in Bangkok. The food is absolutely delicious. I had a smoked salmon and avocado bagel and not only was the bagel lovely and soft, the combination of the salmon, egg and avocado was perfect. My partner had the roasted vegetables and pesto salad which was so delicious and fresh. We then had two coffees (flat whites) and they were hot (believe me a lot of places served luke warm and awful coffee. These were perfect. I wish we had time to visit again but definitely will when we return!

Wow! What an amazing little cafe we found in Bangkok. The food tasted just like being back in France, everything homemade and delicious. The staff were superb and the owner is the most welcoming. Spoke to him for a while and really see the passion he brings to the place. What a spot keep it up guys!

The place is nice, but I’m not sure I’d come back. Coffee was fine, the quiche was very dry, and the atmosphere didn’t really click — a group of kids arrived with the usual noise. I ended up taking my coffee to go and enjoyed a pleasant walk instead.

Stepping into the restaurant for the first time, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere, accompanied by the rich aroma of coffee. The staff greeted me with politeness and a friendly attitude. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in a European style. I ordered a breakfast of vegetable omelet, homemade Greek yogurt with fresh fruit and granola, and a ham, cheese, and sunny-side-up egg croissant. The food was absolutely delicious—I highly recommend it!
