8.0 (if you're a normal person) - 6.0 (if you're exigent) Le Jeu de Quilles, 45, rue Boulard in the 14th, 01.53.90.76.22, open for lunch only Tuesday-Saturday and dinner Wednesday and Friday if you're 12 or so and book in advance.
This was my second meal in three days in this part of the 14th and both of them have been quite special, quite good and quite interesting places. Both the Cantine de Troquet and Jeu de Quilles are seemingly uncomplicated and simple but serve up astonishingly good chow, Jeu de Quilles in part because it's right next to Desnoyer (see pix above). The chef came through Fines Gueules and has the same respect for fine products they do.
We started with glasses of white wine which with the offered charcuterie were perfect. Then we shared supposedly small platters of cheese and charcuterie that typified the approach to good product, simply served. Both were ample, indeed more than that.
The chalkboard has only 6 other items, but we both chose the veal which with sliced veggies and fries were all again (sorry) very good product. Our dessert was a shared clafoutis of mirabelles and again was quite good.
Our bill with a bottle of Chiroubles and two Illy's (extra points) was 54.40 Euros per person.
Go? Fast! They only have 17 covers so call in advance; Simon called it the resto for the rentree and A Nous Paris lauded it today.
