Last Friday, l’Express posted a review by François-Régis Gaudry of l’Assiette, coordinates given before, which under Lulu hosted such folks as François Mitterrand, Catherine Deneuve, Pierre Bergé and Jim Harrison, now serving the likes of quenelles sauce Nantua, canette Apicius, lièvre à la royale and an impeccable crème caramel borrowed from the chef (David Rathgeber)’s friend - Christophe Michalak, chef pâtissier at the Plaza Athénée. And this Friday, Pierrick Jegu wrote a review of Gustave et Jules, 12, rue Edouard-Lockroy in the 11th, 01-43-55-54-29, closed Sundays but open only at 6:30 PM, costing 25 € for wine bar fare plus dishes such as a venison ragoût and Danish smoked trout.
Monday-Tuesday, in A Nous Paris, Jerome Berger reviewed and gave 3/5 dots to La Cave Edmond, coordinates below, where Thierry Burlot has now opened a wine bar across the street serving hot & cold dishes (sausage, shrimp raviolis, lamb shoulder) and reasonably-priced wines and Philippe Toinard, next column over, gave 3/5 dots to the Thai-chef’d/Eddy Mitchell-owned place Oth Sombath in the 8th.
Tuesday, in Le Fooding, Sebastien Demorand also reviewed the Wurlitzer jukebox-like Cave Edmond, where he talks of the Serrano ham, Corsican cheese and wines from 1,80 € a glass and 13,50€ a bottle.
Wednesday, Emmanuel Rubin’s “Cest nouveau” in Figaroscope started off with ¾ hearts awarded to the aforementioned Oth Sombath; 2/4 hearts to Les Terrines de Gerard Vie, (exTrianon Palace) 97, rue du Cherche Midi in the 6th, 01.42.22.19.18, closed Sundays and Mondays, serving a formula for 30 €, without wine for fare such as a pigs foot terrine, veal with endives and iced coffee soufflé but (no thank you to the prune sushi); ¼ hearts to Au P’tit Panisse coordinates given before, serving chestnut soup, pork chop and chocolate tart as well as Anthracite, 20, rue de La Reynie in the 4th, 01.42.77.89.21, closed Sundays, which will set you back 40-50 € for what sounds like very Italian food (brochette, ham, gorgonzola and risotto of mushrooms.) Finally, a busted heart went to l’Horloge, 72, rue du Cherche Midi in the 6th, 01.42.22.46 where for 35 € one gets cuttlefish, duck with mashed potatoes or an entrecote.
