"The Villa turned out to be an unexpected surprise. It's co-located with the Mercure hotel in Saint Cloud, and many locals frequent the establishment. It has some of the best traditional French cuisine around. Dinner isn't served until 7:30 pm, but I dined there two evenings during my trip. The maitr'de serves double duty as the only server, so it can be a bit slow when it gets busy. Set aside at least two hours for dinner and enjoy the experience. It also happens to serve the breakfast for hotel guests. It's pretty much the same every day but includes a wide variety of foods to suit many pallets and diet needs. It includes eggs (poached and scrambled), bacon, sausage, pancakes and crepes. There's an assortment of fruits, cheeses, cold cuts and three cold cereals with numerous toppings available. They also have yogurt, five or six different breads and pastries and multiple chilled juices and hot coffee. The dinner menu is limited to whatever the chef has concocted for the day. There's usually a meat and a fish and vegetable offering. The first evening I started with a salad of simple dressed greens and a piece of toasted multigrain bread topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, roasted tomatoes, thin slices of apple and tangerine. An unusual but surprisingly tasty combination. The main dish was roasted lamb served with perfectly fried pomme frittes. The lamb was a little on the tough side, but tasty and well presented. At the suggestion of the waiter, I paired the meal with a 2017 Minervois called Riussanelle. The coffee and current notes went very well with the dinner, and was so good I enjoyed it with my meal the second evening as well. That included vegetable egg rolls, roasted vegetables and a cut of lean steak that was quite tough by American standards. The dessert was a pastry with custard and a slice fig. Apparently the chef was feeling generous and creative because the waiter walked out at least two other complimentary desserts for every table that evening. Why go out for good food when it's right in front of you. I will definitely return here again."

"The blue of Greece, this is what was missing in Boulogne-Billancourt.... But today, thanks to Spiros and Aris, your taste buds travel to the country of Olympus.... At Nonos, everything is good; whether it be pita sandwiches, assortments of mezzes, dishes (such as the musaka to get rid of delight) or desserts... you don't choose. All accompanied by a small glass of fresh white wine and your meal will take a look of Mama Mia. Do not hesitate, take away or on site on their pretty blue terrace, Nonos welcomes you with kindness and smile. That's right, that's the right address of Boulogne this year."

"The place is homely, cosey, and maybe somewhat small. We honestly couldn't have found it by ourselves so id say its a hidden gem in one of the nicest neighborhoods in paris. The food, god the food was good, everything from the cold to hot appetizers, the main dishes, the salads and the drinks ( particularly the lebanese arak) was all spot on. The service was great, attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcomed ever since we walked in. So all in all i'd say it was perfect and it deserves its 5 star rating."
