Patati Patata sur Paris

13/02/2026: Excellent dinner Good, well-presented dishes

08/02/2026: We were seated in the "American section." Sad, since only one of us is American. Service was slow and neighbors were loud. No windows, no view of anyone but one other table. So we looked forward to the food. We had been eating each evening at a similarly rated restaurant in the 6th. We had eaten at the owners' other restaurant a few months before (Boisonnerie - and felt it was okay, somewhat overpriced and lacking in atmosphere - our table was very near the bus station). The food was certainly good, perhaps not as inventive as it is now. My raw fish appetizer was very good. My dining partner had the wild caught fresh fish, with herbs, but felt it was very similar to what we do at home, using butter and herbs from our garden. Whether one wants more crust (or a little crust) on fish is personal. I don't eat veal or fish, so I was limited to the squash ravioli, and while the herbs were fine, I was hoping for a more French take on main courses. We did not have dessert, as the people next to us had become rather loud.
