Les Racines - A nice place

A genuinely nice place.
5.7 Les Racines, 8, passage des Panoramas in the 2nd, 01.40.13.06.41, closed Saturdays and Sundays, is a terrifically pleasant and good place.   I went with two of my favorite Paris food people, both of whom had been before together.  It's run by the guy who previously ran La Cremerie which I liked; this place is 3 times bigger we figured out.  But he has terrific wines and many more items on the ardoise.  We each had one of the three entrees; thus were were able to all sample the terrines of beef and pork and assortment of cuts of ham (lomo, etc.) each very good product with a nice salad.  Then the ladies had the scallops wrapped in bacon with teeny/tiny potatoes and I the cheeks of a bovine from Hugo Desnoyer in a very light wine sauce that was almost like a pot au feu and very light mashed potatoes.  They then both ended with the 24-month Conte that they generously shared.  With a terrific bottle of wine (a "pure chenin pétillant from the Loire, by Jean-Pierre Robinot," per one of us) the bill was 52 Euros apiece.
Go?  Oh, yes, before the New York Times finds it.
