6.0 Scaria, 88 ave Parmentier, in the 11th, 09.83.47.62.66, closed Sundays (Metro: Parmentier) has been open for 2 years but not attracted much press, so when a keen spotter of promising new places, especially in the 11th, gave me a nod, I lined lunch up immediately. It's a coffee shop/épicerie/restaurant that is bursting with local families of all ages. The carte consists of lots of small plates (which actually were adequate in size for us), each of which had numerous ingredients.
We three started off in completely different directions: with a mushroom and sponge cake (who ever heard of such a thing?) off the vegetarian list, and poulpe and spicy guacamole with radishes and scallops snackee with butternut puree from the fish section of the menu.
For mains, we went for slices of magret de canard with salsifis, merlu with parsnip and beef cheeks with helianthus; all of which had numerous other nuts and herbs added.
For dessert we shared a rice pudding and a ganache of chocolate.
Our bill, with a bottle and a glass of really good, light Sicilian natural wine with sulfates and 3 coffees, was 126.50E or 84.32E a couple. dB's despite kids yelling, was 82.9
Go? If in the 11th, this is a great local place to drop into anytime and the complexity of dishes will astonish.
