3.0 Les Minots, 41, rue Servan in the 11th, 01.40.21.01.28, open 7/7, except Brunch Sunday lunch-time and closed Sunday dinner, *was open on Mondays (the new Saturdays), was supposed to have a Mediterranean spin to it and had crept up on my "list" for the past 15 months, so what did we have to lose? Lots it turned out.

I arrived a bit earlier than my colleague and scoped the carte - terrific, gambas, calamari, daurade in full portons & demi's - oh boy! But "no, M.Talbott, that's the dinner carte, faggedaboudid." "We have simplified the menu for lunch," sure. Crash to floor.

Madame had the croustillants of Brie and I the plate of charcuterie and both were pretty good, albeit hardly ground-breaking.
