Frommer's Review
This distinctive detached house with a conservatory extension and a large sidewalk terrace was originally a coffeehouse for dockworkers. A meal at this restaurant is an altogether good reason to make a trip to a part of town that's becoming ever more fashionable. As the restaurant's name indicates (it means "East Station"), the cuisine is traditional French -- but its chefs do incorporate Mediterranean touches. Service is relaxed and knowledgeable, and the fixed-price menu is an excellent value: surprises appear on your plate rather than on the check. The strict five-course formula (starter, salad, main course of meat or fish, cheese, and dessert) leaves no room for choice -- except for the main course -- but plenty for market-fresh ingredients and culinary creativity. Try pulpo estofado et risotto nero (inkfishtkcheck stew and black rice) as a starter, and roast lamb with gazpacho and farfalle as a main course.
