Monday-Tuesday, in A Nous Paris, the critics gave 3/5 dots to two places already much described on this site: Jerome Berger to La Regalade St-Honore and Philippe Toinard to the goofily-named Greenpizz.
This week in Le Fooding Yves Nespoulous reviewed the perfect Oberkampf/1970’s hang-out Aux Deux Amis, 45 rue Oberkampf in the 11th, 01.58.30.38.13, closed Sundays (for now) and Mondays, with a lunch menu at 19.50 and wines by the glass and pot (14-20 €), serving Joel Thiébault’s radishes, soup, salad, cod with wasabi, veal scallop and a compote of apples.
Wednesday, in Figaroscope Emmanuel Rubin in his “Les Nouveautés” gave two hearts to the new location for La Regalade St Honore, coordinates given before as well as the Thai Aux Trois Nagas in the 16th. One heart each went to Le Petit Vatel, 5, rue Lobineau in the 6th, closed Sundays and Mondays, running one about 30 E (without wine) for items such as celery remoulade, beef, a blanquette de veau and clafoutis of apples; the second version of the Brit-oriented Bread & Roses in the 8th; and the crepes/galettes place Les Glenan, 20, rue d’Odessa in the 14th, 01.43.20.23.18, open 7/7 with galettes between 7 and 13 E (lunch formula is 9 E) – the Obama (hamburger, onions, egg, tomato and cheese) caught my eye.
The « Dossier » this week was written by Colette Monsat & crew and concerned places serving a fixed-choice “menu” :
Le Comptoir du Relais
La Bigarrade
Le Chateaubriand
Chapeau Melon
Rino
Les Papilles
Guilo Guilo
Le Relais de l’Entrecote
And the new stars :
Yam’Tcha
Frenchie
Passage 53
And Francois Simon went to La Gazzetta
Finally, in their Passe-Plats side-bar feature that sometimes has restos off the radar, mentioned Le Daron, 8, rue Hippolyte Lebas in the 9th, 01.53.20.88.70 which I’ve only seen noted once before briefly.
Thursday in l’Express, the group covered the restaurants from Cannes to Monaco in honor of this week’s Film Festival.
Dated Friday, ParuVendu published an article on the « new restos », it’s reassuring to see that the French press is as clueless/late as the New York Times in reporting « new places. »
Saturday, Francois Simon reviewed Frederic Simonin noting its terrible prices and young classicism.
Sunday Astrid T’Seclaes reviewed the 104 in the 19th calling it inventive and a little corner of Paradise.
This week in Bonjour Paris, Margaret Kemp published an article about the Roland Garros restaurant and John Talbott an essay on “Aizpitarte and me: A short history.”
