Pre: when we first started looking for a pied a terre in Paris, people looked askance when we mentioned the 18th. Nice markets, a bit too vivant and touristy but food wise, there was no there, there.
The Table D’Eugene was really the first serious food place to open within walking distance of our flat and popped to mind yesterday after I’d spent a horrible afternoon busing back from the 5th caught up in this seemingly endless strike. To cut to the chase, now, decades later, it is as friendly, warm and lovely as when it opened.
Our amuse was a multi-flavored croquette/cromesqui that truly melted in our mouths followed by complex presentations of green asparagus and noirmoutier potatoes, salmon and teeny tiny coques.
Our mains were the crispy skinned merlan, the fish of the day and perfectly cooked pintade with new peas in a spicy sauce with terrific bread rolls.
We ended up sharing a sable of chocolate, nuts and coffee ice.
Our bill, with a bottle and glass of wine, their water and 3 coffees, was 195.00€ for three, thus 130€ a couple.
