Fulgurances, 10, rue Alexandre Dumas in the 11th, 01.43.48.14.59, (metro: Rue de Boulets) closed weekends and some Mondays, is a place my wine friend and I have enjoyed numerous times and when he suggested we go after the summer holidays, I was game even though we weren't sure who'd be cooking. Well it was Celine Pham not the new Aussie who starts next month but that worked out beautifully for us.
It's the usual 2-2-1-2 menu and we split down the middle, him starting with tomatoes and me with raviolis of beef with cilantro, lemon grass and other Indochinese spicy things in the superb broth, plus fantastic mushrooms.
Then he had the lieu jaune and I the chicken, both with very nice veggies and new or purple potatoes.
We ended with 3 terrific cheeses (the bread was as good as usual).
Our bill, with a bottle and 3 glasses (it's a long story) of wine and coffees (offered) was 92€. Decibels really minimal except for the bus going by.
Go? You bet, never fails, cannot wait for the Aussie.
