Le Cadoret in the 19th: “Not a place for culinary discovery” my oldest French friend concluded.

5.6 Le Cadoret, 1, rue Pradier in the 19th, 01.53.21.92.13, closed Sundays and Mondays, was described by Aitor Alfonso in yesterday’s Le Fooding as “retrofoodisme” and that’s pretty accurate.  I entered to a room half full of folks who were clearly locals and by 13h00 it was fully full.  It’s a 2-2-1 deal so we agreed to split the offerings.

My friend started with eggs Mimosa that I thought were fabulous and I had a very good terrine de campagne with toasts, both of which were also good.

For mains, she had a tender onglet of beef with not bad fries and sauce that I didn’t like, while I had two pieces of carrelet sautéed in butter that were better than ok with carrots and a cousin of Jerusalem artichoke.

We finished up with two lovely pear Fontainebleaus.

Our bill, with a bottle of terrific Pinot Noir and two coffees was 60.40€?  Noise level 81.6dB. PS they had real cloth napkins.

Go?  If I lived in the area for sure, but it’s a long way from home.  But those Thai fish are tempting and they had real cloth napkins.
