Anona, 80 Blvd des Batignolles in the 17th was the last of our eating experiences before we left in July for the holidays - today we returned with a hab of the 5th, bike helmet and wind cheater in hand, to see if it held up. Spoiler: it did.
The very talented chef, Thibaut Spiwack, started us off with squares of duck sitting in a flavored mayonnaise and twists of smoked salmon and fennel and our guest had the “menu” starter, a beautifully creamy sauce over Parmesan-stuffed gnocchi. Then he had the “menu” sausage while Colette and I both had pigeon in two parts with fall vegetables; the portion seemed small but I found it very filling. We ended up sharing a lovely lemon tart and mignardises.
Our bill, with 1.5 bottles of fine Fitou and three coffees was 165€ or 110€ a couple. NB. The bread and butter were again terrific; Colette appreciated the fact there was no audible music, but once again wished they would write out the day's "menu"/specials.
