8.0 Le Sergent Recruter, 41 rue St-Louis-en-l'ile in the 4th (Metro: Pont Marie), 01.43.54.75.42, closed Sundays and Mondays has been around several months and in the meantime garnered a Michelin star (while Spring still has not), was Pudlo's Revelation of the Year but also got some flak from reviewers. A friend and i were celebrating our individual triumphs (I had been invited as a Delegate to an OECD Symposium) and we decided to order the ghastly priced menu degustastation (at 95 E) "to celebrate and test the kitchen" over the 3-course menu of the market (65 E). It's the same old place you've walked by time after time but now has these cool but confusing mirrors; handly were we seated than one of the legion of wait-people enquired about drink - so straight to the wine 9(the wines BTW are priced over a spectrum, not the usual star-gazing prices.)
