110 Taillevent, is as my old friend says, "a very nice place" - cool decor, placemat sidebar to note Tastings and wines from 25 E to the stratophere.  They have a menu, lunch and dinner, for 39 E which the guys took while the three ladies, whom I've known a bit less than 56 years, picked off the carte.

Said "menu" started us off with a piece of mackerel on top of a circle of eggplant with a tomato topping; all "quite nice."

Then, for mains, our wives both had the bar with various vegetables and mushrooms, our French pal of longstanding had the vol ay vent with extra portions of mushrooms and salad and the two old male geezers had the menu's so-called brandade, "so-called" because it was cod indeed, but adorned with mussels, coques, squid and who knows what other seafood - quite original.

For desserts we chose the caramelized figs (delicious), chocolate "dome" with chocolate (like Neva serves), a chocolate and raspberry coupe and scoops of ice cream and sorbets - quite nice.

Our bill, with 2 bottles of wine, no bottled water and 4 coffees (5 E each) was 256 E thus 102.40 E a couple for a "very nice meal......to send American friends to."
