FINALLY we found a restaurant with attitude. Walked around Saturday evening looking for a good place to dine and found this one not too far from our hotel along the narrow Passage de Saint-André. A beautifully charming place built in the 1600’s.
The Maître d’ asked if we had a reservation indicating in a tone that if we didn’t, we hadn’t a hope in hell of getting a table. He took some time looking over his seating plan, he sighed, he looked again, and then said he might be able to accommodate us. Would we like a seat on the balcony? Not bad at all!.....a little table for two on a private balcony off the main dining room.
We enjoyed a delicious dinner of escargots, tartare de boeuf and framboises melba for dessert. The waiter was appropriately snotty, the portions were predictably small and the prices were outrageously high. But yes.....a very agreeable evening.
