Coretta, 151 bis Rue Cardinet in the 17th is one of "the favorites" readers keep plying me for that I've never revealed to anyone else in the universe. Sorry, but the internet doesn't work like that. We entered and were warmly welcomed by husband of the team that makes this place sing - Matthieu Marcant.
We were eating again with Heidi Ellison, who was on a day "off" having written Coretta up before on Paris Update and were more than happy to be treated to some champagne and an amuse of cream cheese wrapped in a slice of rutabaga, if I heard correctly. For an entree I couldn't resist a lobe of foie gras with winter vegetables with a wonderful rich broth. Then my female companions had lieu jaune and I the sweetbreads with the crusty outside and soft inside - both with more February veggies. To top it off we all shared two portions of their caramel brioche - which in chatting with M. Marcant we learned derived from a dessert served by Jean-Georges Vongerichten at the Mercer Kitchen on Spring Street.
Our bill, with a bottle and glass of wine and 3 coffees, was 169E or 112.66 E a couple.
