5.04 Au Reve, 89, rue Caulaincourt in the 18th, 01-46-06-20-87, a la carte : 20 euros, open 7/7, is a place recommended by a Chowhound and therefore worth investigating. I went with no, repeat NO expectations but it was available by my 80 bus up the Mont so I went (the other choice was pizza).
I arrived and was not impressed, customers and staff seemed more interested in nicotine than me and I thought of what it would have been like just months ago. But I entered. The usual, usual bar, usual ardoise, usual stuff, so what could have besotted Katell Pouliquen of l'Exp and the Chows?
OK, you cannot really see it, but it's foie gras buried in a cream and cheese sauce - Dr. D., I hope you're otherwise occupied - horrible for the circulatory system but wonderful for the heart (metaphorically speaking).
So what's this? Gotcha. It's slices of pork cheeks (outasight) with cheese and lettucy stuff and (unfortunately) hot house baby tomatoes (leave 'em out guys).
With wine, not bad toasted or regular bread, M. Delanoe's best and no coffee I was outathere for 29 E.
Go? Are you kidding? As I exited, I asked the one non-smoking same-sex Anglo couple how they had found this place? Ans. It looked nice. And it is/was.
