This year alone I have been three times already, twice for lunch and once for dinner, to Les Gourmets des Ternes. My choice of food never changes - filet de boeuf au poivre followed by rhum baba (pudding which you dress yourself with syrup, rum, whipped cream and confit - luxurious and big enough to be shared!).

If you are not a great fan of beef, the restaurant is renowned for all it’s meats – “les viandes”. My friends have enjoyed the lamb, “cotes d’agneau”, and veal “grenadin de veau” dishes.
Jean Francois Marie, the proprietor, is full of himself – he has his picture taken with anyone who’s anyone who eats in his restaurant as evidenced by the photos all over the walls of even the loos and on his website – but that only adds to his and his staff’s “attitude” which though offhand, works to create a fun and lively atmosphere.
As I say about these kind of places – give it a try at least once – bon appetit!
We found STGER30 an excellent choice. Very compact but well appointed, its location means a few steps to Rue du Bac metro and walking distance to Musee D’Orsay, Louvre, Tuilliers etc etc. In fact, many days we simply walked back to the apartment for lunch and a rest after morning sightseeing.
Large shuttered windows gave adequate ventilation on a couple of warm days and the double glazed windows meant quiet nights as well.
The apartment would be further improved with the addition of a small dining table and 2 chairs. The existing adjustable coffee table/couch arrangement is ok but…..?
Check-in agent Antoine was punctual, thorough and helpful. We also used the agency arranged taxi service which worked perfectly and was a good way to go after a 24 hour flight from Australia.
Overall, the apartment was excellent, well located in a comparatively quiet (for Paris) area. Service was faultless from initial contact through to checkout and much better by comparison than another company used by friends at the same time as our visit. Highly recommended and we would use again without question.
