Frommer's Review

In the elegant surroundings of the Galeries Royales St-Hubert, this restaurant supplies good taste in a Parisian bistro-style setting that's popular with off-duty actors and audiences from the nearby Gallery theater, among others. It often gets busy, but the ambience in the split-level, wood-and-brass-outfitted dining room, with a sand-strewn floor, is convivial, though a little too tightly packed when it's full. Look for garlicky meat and seafood menu dishes, and expect to pay a smidgeon more for atmosphere than might be strictly justified by results on the plate. In the former category, if you like duck, try the magret du canard mulard aux deux poivres, gratin dauphinois (filet of duck with peppers and potatoes gratin). A good seafood choice is the ragoût de coquilles St-Jacques et gambas, sauce diable (scallop and prawn stew in a "devil" -- spicy -- sauce).
