La Poubelle is really beautiful inside, I was very impressed. I had the pumpkin soup which was out of this world, Bruschetta, and the New York steak which was the best steak I've ever had. The atmosphere is very loud, people talking and having a great time. Everyone was younger (20's to 30ish) and good looking people, including the staff.... More

This place is very cute, decorated like a French bistro with tables on the sidewalk and a large bar. The main difference from a real French bistro is just its size: about five times bigger than what you would find in Paris.

I know this place for more than 20 years now, went through changes in decor, service, chefs, etc., the quality of food was sometimes better sometimes not, but it was always LA POUBELLE, with a great Patron and a funky crowd of people showing up, I experienced some of the best Coq au Vin ever and some very average food,...

This place was ok as a neighbourhood walk to when I lived in the area. I never quite felt comfortable here. There's an air of better than thou... Annoying, Pretentious. Good for beautiful people watching... They're crawling out of the woodwork here... ;) Otherwise, pass.

never had anything special here, I guess its allright
