cave a jojo sur Paris

25/05/2024: My partner accurately summed up this experience as "Food that tasted the way Ratatouille (film) made me feel" and I couldn't agree more. There is no menu, you simply sit down and have delicious dishes served to you as you sip wine over the course of the evening. I imagine this is what it would be like visiting family in the French countryside. Simple, tasty and relaxed. They don't speak much English and we didn't understand much French but it was a very enjoyable experience - maybe even moreso

08/05/2024: I had the pleasure and privilege of dining at Mon Oncle le Vigneron with my wife and sister-in-law this evening. I will leave a detailed review below, however the short version is, make a reservation and go to this restaurant. Immediately upon walking into the restaurant, you are made to feel at home. The decor is warm and inviting, if a little bit eclectic. Chika, the maitre d'hotel/waitress/chef is welcoming and very friendly, and makes you feel a part of the family. When we made our reservation for dinner, we were told that there are no choices of food, instead you will eat what Chika prepares for you. This was not an issue at all. We ordered a lovely bottle of rose, and settled in for the meal to come. We had a delicious charcuterie to start comprised of some prosciutto, salami, and chorizo, and a terrine of pork, all of which were lovely. Additionally there was a goat's cheese in olive oil, which went down a treat. Following the charcuterie we had a simple, but delicious endive salad with a lovely dressing. Finally, we had a delicious Basque pork dish, made up of the most incredibly tender pork, peppers, tomatoes, broth, and a side of steamed rice. It was my favorite style of food, simple things, cooked exceptionally well. Overall, the meal was incredible, a lovely space with good food. The coup de grace was the price. For 3 people to eat, and 2 bottles of wine, our price was less than 40 euros per person. It felt like such incredible value for a meal that I would have paid double for. If I lived in Paris, I would visit this restaurant once a week just to see what Chika was cooking up. If you are lucky enough to be in the area, give this restaurant a visit.
