I took one of my girlfriends to J-A for a birthday lunch-we loved our salmon entrees, our wine, especially our desserts, the elegant salon where we had lunch (plus there is a terrace where you can have lunch as well) and the fact that there were few if any tourists there-mostly just Parisians-some having business lunches, etc. It's a very interesting museum-HIGHLY recommended.

As for reservations-as posted, they don't take them for lunch, but when we went over a year ago in May the line was out the door during the week-we had to wait around 45 minutes, it was so crowded. It might do to get there just when it opens for lunch.

we just ate there this past week and it was really nice. Peaceful and nice!
