Reviews of reviews: The week of January 8th, 2012

Tuesday, Yves Nespoulous of Le Fooding, reviewed the vegan, biocool, tarts, salads, soups and smoothies place called MOB (Maimonode Of Brooklyn) in the 3^rd.

Tuesday as well,  Philippe Toinard in A Nous Paris, reviewed and gave 3/5 dots to Les Saisons which uses « biologique-biodynamic « products whose tastes are occasionally neuralized at 2, rue Lamartine in the 9th, 01.48.78.15.18, closed Sundays and Mondays, with lunch formulas at 15 and 20, a la carte 35 E, serving such items as sausages, a parsnip-chestnut soup, seafood mix, poitrine and cheese ; his colleague Jerome Berger reviewed the Japanese Walaku in the 7th. 

On Wednesday, in Figaroscope, Emmanuel Rubin reviewed his usual five places, giving two hearts to two – Chez la Vielle, coordinates well-known, with menus at 28 and 38 and a la carte 50 E, where the new Asian/Japanese chef prepares items such as chicken terrines, kidneys and cream of chestnuts; and Albion, coordinates given before, serving an oyster vichyssoise, cod and lemon dessert.  Three restaurants merited one heart: Black Turtle, 46, rue Croix des Petits Champs in the 1^st, 01.42.86.93.45, closed Sundays, formula at 25, a la carte 35 E for a salad of boudin noir, partridge and entrecote; the Italian Il Circulo in the 9^th; and Americanesque Livingstone Steak House in the 1^st.
