Aux Enfants Gatés

Super restaurant dans le quartier de Denfert Rochereau dans le 14e, où il est conseillé de réserver !
Un menu à 36 € est proposé le soir avec E/​P/​D
J’ai pris en entrée la chaire de tourteau, en plat l’agneau et en dessert le mont blanc, tout était vraiment délicieux.
Le service est également très sympa

Terrific value in the 14^th, soup to nuts. The staff is crisp and professional and the tiny dining room is simple but stylish. (It’s a small space so best to reserve.) It’s off the beaten track for tourists, so most diners are French, even on the early side. If you get the menu, you’ll enjoy a lovely amuse bouche before the first course, and an extra treat at the end. The menu doesn’t go too far off the beaten track (and it’s certainly a no-​go for vegetarians or dairy free eaters), but every dish is pulled off excellently. Go here!

Super restaurant de quartier avec des plats de grandes qualités fait maison et créatifs

Best food, best service, best price ever. I do not want to give this cozy intimate french restaurant away with loud Americans bombarding but I truly appreciated the beauty of art in food presentation as well as the taste. It started off with a cod purée on the house. I had terrine which had such a clean taste. Went well with my petite chablis. Then my entrée lamb was tender and soft. It was almost like it’s seared. Then café au lait with madeline. It is the perfect meal for a perfect evening. It is very small intimate cozy place. The best part is the sweetest and most accommodating server ever. She was the onky one working but most wonderful server. This is one place I would like to always come back to.

Pas mal pour le déjeuner mais un peu trop lourd malgré une cuisine qui se veut fine. En revanche l’agneau était au top

une vraie trouvaille!
sur les conseils d’une amie qui habitait le quartier, je tente à plusieurs reprises de me rendre dans ce petit resto (20 couverts).
à la 4 e tentative (réserver en debut de semaine pour le week end) c est la bonne!
et je suis conquise!
2 formules: dej en semaine (e+p ou p+d) pour 27 euros
e +p+d pour 35 euros
en entrée je prends la chair de tourteau aux oeufs de hareng. c’était parfait, très léger et raffiné. le plat est tout aussi bon: canette farcie avec pommes fondantes et navet. et en dessert je prends le biscuit chocolat: biscuit et mousse légère avec une crème fouettée à la vanille. c est délicieux mais les desserts des autres convives sont encore meilleurs.
j ai pu goûté les plats choisis par le reste de table: c était parfait. en entrée, les ravioles de foie gras fondent en bouche. en plat le jarret de veau et les ris de veau sont également délicieux. et en dessert prenez le cheese cake fondant à la mangue.
la carte change toutes les semaines en fonction des produits mais certains classiques (ris de veau, cheese cake…) sont permanents.
bref 5 étoiles méritées et j’ai hâte d’y retourner

After a trying, rainy and cold 1^st day in Paris, losing all our credit cards, only to have then turn up at the oh so honest Monopix at the end od Rue Dagurre, we were ready to be enveloped by the warmth and graciousness of a Parisian boîte. Carolyn, the chef’s wife, is the perfect host and server, welcoming us with charm and compassion for our fractured French. The small, but well decorated and comfortable room, was filled with an eclectic array of diners of all ages and proclamations, Our avocado based amuse bouse was light on the palate, having no relation to the guacamole served in Mexican restaurants. My wife’s duck terrine starter was a thick slice of savory goodness. I wanted one for dessert on this wet and chilly Friday in Paris. My squid and couscous was on the dainty side, but had a piquant spice after taste, providing some pizazz at the end. Milady enjoyed her Bresse Chicken for her main course and my Veal was simply delicious, devoured in hunger and need after a stressful day. Desserts were fantastically French, created with a light touch of creativity. My companion for life liked her chocolate thing and I loved my
reconstructured cheese cake piece of art which was a ridiculous distant cousin to a Stage Deli Cheesecake. A past its prime 25 Euro bottle of 2008 Provincial red wine did not detract from the night. For those who care, we were the only people speaking English in the place. We did try our lousy French and Carolyn, making us feel so comfortable in her home, tried her beginning English. We understood each other perfectly. Reservations were made for our last night in Paris. The cost was 101 Euro for a scrumptious meal that would require twice that outlay in the States. We strolled back to our domicile, arm and arm, remembering why we love Paris.

Excellent
Nous sommes allés diner avec ma compagne. Je né suis pas déçu du détour ! Super déco, excellant service, les plats né sont très chers et délicieux. Je conseille les coquilles saints Jacques en gratin…

This is such a hidden gem and find! I’m not even sure how I (a tourist and American) found this place. We had the concierge service from our credit card make lunch reservations. Reservations are recommended even for lunch, as they are busy.
Lunch menu is great, it’s a set menu for 27 euros, your choice is an app and entrée or an entrée and dessert. Me and the beau did one of each, so we could both try the app and a dessert. Everything was DELICIOUS! I’ve posed all the pictures so far :)
We started with an amouse bouche from the chef. It was AMAZING! I don’t even know what it was, but I wanted more of it and in a bigger bowl. It was a soup/​cream of some sort, with a dollop of mashed potato. It was a cold day, and it really warmed us up.
As an appetizer we had the terrine. It is a bit too much for one person, but great to share. It had a lot of flavor and was really fresh. We sprinkled some fleur de sel and it really brought out even more flavors. It was also served with a beet which added a nice sweetness and some acid to it.
Entrée 1: pan seared female duck breast with fried sweet potato balls — I’m sure it sounds a lot better in French, but that is the best I can do. It was AMAZING. The portion was big considering it was for lunch. I couldn’t finish it. The duck breast was tender and the fat was rendered perfectly where the skin was crisp. There was this nice umami ladden sauce over it. It was accompanied by two big breaded and fried sweet potato balls. A bite with duck, sweet potato and sauce sent crazy flavors to your taste buds. It was so good.
Entrée 2: confit lamb with mushroom stuffed pasta shells. Again, I’m sure it was better explained in french. The lamb was super tender and cooked beautifully. It did not taste gamey at all. It had a perfect balance of fat and protein — almost marbled. It was almost too rich for lunch, but at least we had time to digest it since it was lunch.
Dessert: pear tart with vanilla ice cream, with salted carmel — sounds simple enough but it was a perfect ending. Considering that the meal was generally so rich and heavy, the dessert was in the opposite spectrum. It was a bit more neutral and not at all sweet. It was almost a palette cleanser. Delicious!
