By Johntalbott
Monday-Tuesday in A Nous Paris, Jerome Berger gave 3/5 dots to the Italian trattoria, Enza & Famiglia in the 1st and Philippe Toinard wrote up and gave a lukewarm 2/5 dots to L’Atelier de Jacques, 9, rue du Tunnel in the 19th, 01.42.00.16.31, closed Saturday lunch, Sundays and Mondays where he found the terrine maison and veal lacking but the chocolate marquise OK.
Tuesday, in Le Fooding, Matthieu Jauniau-Dallier wrote up Cédric Casanova’s #2 (to Tete Dans Les Olives), the Italian Restaurant Le Concervatoire de C.C. in the 10th.
On Wednesday, in Figaroscope, Emmanuel Rubin reviewed and gave two hearts to: the Argentinian Classico Argentino in the 3rd and two Japanese places: Basho in the 18th and Walaku in the 8th. He also was disappointed and gave only one heart to the 1868 restaurant in the Hotel Edmond, 22, ave de Villiers in the 17th 01.44.01.09.40 7/7 but costing 70-80 E with a 4-dish menu at 48 and 6 for 68E; one heart also went to the new generation fast food place Adam’s II in Bercy Village, 11-11 PM 7/7 costing about 8-15 E for tartines.

In a piece more geared to news than food, Flore Galaud noted how the menu at lunch at L’Acajou in the 16th overnight went from 30 to 40 Euros after Jean Imbert won the 2012 Top Chef slot.
