14 Paradis, 14, rue de Paradis in the 10th, 01.45.23.57.98 (Metro: Cadet), open weekdays and Saturday night, is a place you might pass up on this street of restaurants in an obviously hopping neighborhood.
My intended dining partner had GI problems today so I went through this internal debate: as a single taster, do I order dishes that stretch the chef's talents or what I really want on a cold day? I split it down the middle. First I had a superb gratinee of onions which was sort of like the best onion soup in the city but without the soup. Then I had pork cheeks with parcooked veggies that were quite good but too much for my poor stomach's size. I got ready to order the dessert, a brioche, not perdu, but retrouvees (now what could that be?) but alas, they were out of it and my amiable waitguy insisted to have the yogurt with apple bits and that was a big mistake, it brought the meal down from interesting to ordinary.
The bill for a couple with a bottle of wine, no bottled water, but 3 courses and 2 coffees would come to 104 E (PS they had 2-2-2 formulas at 17 E and 3-3-3 menus at 38 E). db"s 80.9
Return? Hummm, with so many great places opening, it'll be diown on the list, but for my grand-kids, sure.
