7.8 Comice, 31, avenue de Versailles in the 16th, 01.42.15.55.70, closed (Metro: ) was opened by the husband and wife, Chef/Som pair Noam Gedalof and Etheliya Hananova, a few weeks ago, after they'd done stints in California, New York, Montréal and Paris (at Sergent Recruteur). Anyway, my dear friends suggested we go here 24 hours after arriving back in France and I consulted a time chart and figured like the British Flag, it was my birthday somewhere.
My friends were waiting when I arrived and they suggested we start with some specialty sausage, which we enjoyed with the house's own great bread and composed butter, after which they gave us each a soup bowl of fall vegetables and herbs. Then Madame and I had a veloute of wild mushrooms while M. had the foie gras. Boy, was that a start.
For us all there was a veggie treat of cauliflower, broccolini and other greens with a Grenoblois sauce. For mains, Madame had the lobster which was the best I've ever had here (better than Daniel Rose's even), M. had a perfect piece of veal and I had an astonishing platter of sliced chicken.
Our bill, I cannot lie, was yuge, and graciously picked up by my friends. But you can do the math; but 2 dishes and coffee and wine comes to something over 100 E each, that's without the Badoit, sausage and whatever else. dB's a gentle 75.8.
Go? For a celebration, like my Birthday, sure, I'll go. Oh and it turns out the design was from one of my dear friends from Le Fooding: Anna, "you done good."
