“Owned by three generations of women since it opened 40 years ago, the Banville offers an attractive combination of style, comfort and middle-of-the-road prices. Inside the fine Art Deco building is tastefully decorated in chic neutrals, enlivened by the occasional dash of colour. A grand piano is the focal point of the elegant sitting area/bar, where the owner, Madame Moreau, sings every Tuesday evening, accompanied by her pianist. A bargain compared with its Left Bank rivals.”
