Yes, it's a little bit touristy (in other words, the menu has some English on it, which is pretty much unheard of in good Parisian bistros), but it really is a fine little place, with some very typically French fare on offer. Last time I went I had a great chicken stew, and some lovely wine.
And at lunchtime it's full of local office workers, which is a good sign that the food is value for money. Be prepared to rub shoulders with your neighbours though, as it's a tight squeeze. I haven't been in the evening, but I hear it can get busy.
