6.6 L’Ascension, 67, rue de Clichy in the 9th, (Metro: Place de Clichy), closed Saturday lunch and Sundays, 01.42.40.28.47, is a place made for me and my friend from the 20th: a real modern bistro, with wide, interesting choices, at fine prices.
I entered to find the banquette reserved and the majority of seats crushing for my back; no problem, between the main waitguy and the chef, they quickly exchanged a padded chair for my spare one - high marks! The “menu” even at 22 and 28€ did not beckon but the carte sure did.
We wound up with salmon gravlax and potato rounds with crisp chopped veggies, a generous veal poitrine and then two desserts - a deconstructed delicious Vacherin and a delicious deconstructed Eton Mess.
Our bill, with a bottle and glass of wine and 3 coffees, one offered, was 68.00€?
Go back? Except for the decibels, which went from 77.3-97.7, this was a terrific experience.
