In Figaroscope this Wednesday, Emmanuel Rubin’s Hache Menu was all about their guest editor (Alex Lutz humorist/philosopher)’s favorite place – Frenchie to Go in the 2nd
Then he followed with his usual five reviews, giving 3 hearts to the Family Li a Chinese restaurant in the 8th.  Two places merited two hearts – the shellfish oriented Huitrerie, 2, rue Mademoiselle in the 15th, 01.40.60.65.65, closed Sundays, which has a 16 E lunch formula, but a carte running 20-50 E depending and the Korean Mee in the 1st.  Getting one heart each were La Maison Bleue in the 10th and King Marcel in the 2nd.

And Sunday in the JDD, Robert Melcher reviewed three places – Les Tablettes (apparently because it’s no longer of Les Tablettes de Jean-Louis Nomicos, in any case it rated a 9/10; then returned to Chez Andre (7/10) in the 8th  (open since 1936) and the Grand Café Capucines (7/10) also not born yesterday but open 24/24 7/7 if that’s what you need, in the 9th.  In an interesting article on the “new generation of bistrotiers”, Charlotte Langrand listed the folks, now stars, coming out of Alain Passard’s Arpege – Chartier (Saturne), Grebaut (Septime), Levha (Servan), Toutain (his eponymous place), Colagreco (Mirazur in Menton) and Cordonnier (Gare au Gorille).  [Editorial comment; good teachers enjoy their students going farther than they did, as do good parents – Bravo Alain!]  In the jdd femina J.Rablat-Tull reviewed the previously mentioned Jeremie in the 16th.
