7.0 Rech, 62, ave des Ternes in the 17th, 01.45.72.29.47, closed Saturday lunch and Sundays, has not gotten better (well maybe a bit) since the arrival of Jacques Maximin, just different. Meaning that Ducasse finally got a great chef he's not afraid will outshine him.
Maximin is 61 and there's something about experience that shows. He's changed the amuse bouche from the Ducassian one, a bit more inventive and he's expanded the wine list and tinkered with the prior menu.
I had the 30 E "menu" and started with a cauliflower soup with ecrivisses; divine. Colette held back, waiting for dessert.
But first she had the scallops, which she's the world's expert on: judgment: perfect, although she said there should have been more sauce and a veggie (note that the plate looked rather empty in the photo).
