5.1 Les Fernandes, 18, rue Guisarde in the 6th, 01.43.29.52.18, (Metro: Marbillon) open 7/7, looks like it's been around forever, with its raw wood and plethora of chalkboards and perhaps it had, but it advertises that all its dishes are made from scratch and the wine selections seemed reasonable to a rookie like me. I arrived a bit before my old friend/colleague who is in the midst of a move from the south back to Paris because of the silly tradition/law/rule that one must give up administrative hospital responsibilities at 65, no matter how competent, wise and able you are.  Anyway I had a lovely glass of white wine from Gascony and considered my options.

Originally I thought of shrimp and snails, but switched to osso bucco, which my friend also chose, followed by a "chocolate "tulip" with cream and red fruits.  I found the red sauce on the veal's knuckle too intense but the dessert was first rate.

Our bill with a bottle of Bordeaux and aforementioned glass and two espressos with tap water, was 90.50€.

Go?  It was ok, but not worth a return trip.
