Quick lunch. Chicken satay with excellent creamy peanut sauce. A bit noisy but its part of the fun

(Translated by Google) This cafe supposed to serve "French" cuisine served us a specialty half-cooked tuna noodles which they called "ceviche" the pieces were much too large and almost cooked, therefore could not meet this designation, the rest much too vinegary making the dish almost inedible. The focaccia was worthy of a student canteen (CROUS). Overpriced and very bad service (American style). If you are looking for a French caf where you can sit on the terrace for a drink, do not go here. If you are looking to eat well, DONT GO!!! unless your couscous includes hummus. (Original) Ce caf cens servir une cuisine franaise nous a servi une spcialit nouilles thon mi cuit quils appelaient ceviche les morceaux taient beaucoup trop gros et presque cuits, ne pouvant donc pas rpondre cette appellation, le reste beaucoup trop vinaigr rendant le plat presque immangeable. La focaccia quant elle tait digne dune cantine tudiante (CROUS). Hors de prix et un service trs mauvais ( lamricaine). Si vous recherchez un caf franais o vous installer en terrasse pour boire un verre, ny allez pas. Si vous cherchez bien manger, DONT GO !!! sauf si votre couscous comporte du houmous.

Edgar Allen Poe once said "In the realm of universal adoration, naught but a striped awning prevails. It beholds the extraordinary and the mundane with equanimity, extending its embrace to all, as if cognizant of our common origin" ...Okay he didn't say that, but perhaps he should have. Few things get me going like a striped awning. We sat under the blue and white striped awning that Cafe Gitane provides. Great people watching spot with a lot of foot traffic. The human experience truly fascinates me, and the outdoor seating is a front row seat to it. All sorts of characters walking by giving you everything from a live performance to style inspiration to the cutest dog you've ever seen. I got the baked eggs with tomato, and it ended up being one of the best decisions I made over the weekend, although that's not saying much ahahahaha. I added the Merguez sausages, and I will stick my neck out on the line here and say those are what made the meal. They took it from good to great. One of the better and more unique dishes I have had in a minute, as the sausages were cooked to perfection, teaming up well with the eggs, tomato sauce, and potatoes that are lurking at the bottom of the dish. A better Shakshuka. Thank you for the inspiration Cafe Gitane, but more importantly, thank you for the striped awning.
