Pre: As I approached Yoshinori today I said to myself "Wait a minute, I was just here" (I checked, it was in 2017) "but someone told me something had changed for the better. OK, we'll see."
7.0 Yoshinori, 18, rue Gregoire de Tours in the 6th, 09.84.19.76.05, closed Sunday and Monday (Metro: Odeon, St. Germain des Pres) is just as Zen as it was two years ago with a very cool exterior, decor and cutlery. I've post two menus, one a legible example, the other illegible but from today.
As amuses we got some olives in EVOO which we sopped up with bread and some barnacles which we devoured.
My friend from FoodandSens started with a lovely tartare de veau while I had bonito tuna with parcooked but agreeably soft green asparagus; both with lots of sea and land growing plants and herbs. About this point my friend said "This is better than before, the chef has matured" and I agreed. My intel was correct.
Then she had the lieu jaune and I the crispy-skinned echine de porc, both again accompanied by plenty of tasty and off-setting greens.
After sitting for a while (the delivery of plates by the two guys in the kitchen has not speeded up in two years), we decided to share a dessert, not the rhubarb/strawberry on the carte which we lusted after, but strawberries, ice and meringue which was an acceptable substitute.
Our bill with three glasses of wine (rather than a bottle because they were outrageously priced - 60-70E to start), one bottle of Chateldon and 2 coffees, was 123 E. dB's= 79.4
Go? I think one should once. Yes.
