Pre: A terrific food spotter friend told me about three places he found this Spring while I was away and I was eager to try all; this was the first, which I had hesitated to go to when it opened because its subhead was La Maison de Sake.
8.1 ERH La Maison de Sake, 11 Rue Triquetonne in the 2nd, 0145.08.49.37, closed Sundays and Mondays (Metro: Etienne Marcel) is situated in a cool wooden slatted building containing the resto, a sake shop and a whiskey bar, and has lots of flowers welcoming you. Rather than describe each dish, which comprised two fish, two meats and a "pina colada" dessert (unpictured, unfortunately because it was the highlight of the meal) I'll just roll them out.
The chef's use of different ingredients, herbs and sauces was dazzling and the three of us left culinarily dancing.
Our bill with a bottle and 2 glasses of a very good wine, superb bread and olive oil and 3 coffees, was 261 or 174 E a couple.
Go back? We will, but I think I'll be happy with just three courses at 35 (offered at lunch on weekdays), rather than 5 at 55 E on Saturdays.
