i have time out-that is where i found the conflict. other sites say it is open sat. we'll be in paris the last sat and sun in april and then for the firt week in may so it looks like i wont' be able to eat there. thanks

We thought it was as good as you are reading (what are you reading :) ?). We went twice. Low-key but nice. I hope they're open while you're there and that you can get a reservation and decide for yourself.

Enjoy Paris. There is certainly no shortage of good restaurants.

I don't know about May, but I just checked about four French restaurant web sites and they all say it is closed on Sat. I've never seen any source say the contrary.
