still feeling the new year's foie gras? don't stop now. shake your bon bon, make a little big deal and find the quai you were with this month's eats.
the quai we were.
six is the magic number at quai quai (pictured). this month,
choose from six entrées, six plats and six desserts. in between place
dauphine and the romantic pont neuf, the deux room resto is rustic, sleek and
cozy at the same time. vegetarians hit le jackpot with a beet carpaccio and spinach
risotto. 74 quai des ofrèvres. near place dauphine,
1er. 01.46.33.69.75.
silly wabbit.
paris' newest craze comes with a franco-japanese feel. usagi (rabbit in japanese), is artist and designer shinsuke kawahara new brainchild. bento boxes come with scrambled eggs, tofu burgers get lotus fries, and green tea with nectarines are a fitting end to your meal. 55 rue saintonge. near rue de turenne, 3e. 01.48.87.28.85. www.usagi.fr
rat a tat tat.
ratatouille might have the same name as that disney movie, but francois celestin is far from the mad chef. he has created mod french cuisine in a spacious, slick new dining room. ginger scented poached sea bass, crayfish ravioli, and beef fillet wrapped in pumpkin slices and bacon blow the old stuffy paris resto out of the water. 168
rue montmartre. near rue d'uzès, 2e. 01.40.13.08.80.
bon bon.
wine is the star at quedebon. bordeaux, merlot and white beaujolais line the walls. sample sips from the long blackboard list at this bar a vins. it might be light on food choices, but delish basque style platters and creamy cantal cheese plates more than make up for the short list. 22
rue du plateau. near rue hassard, 19e. 01.42.38.18.65.
little big deal.
le fooding, the top paris food site, named it bistro of the year. that's a big deal for little le
grand pan. young chef benoit gauthier's spot may be petit, but his delicious côte de bouef served with hand-cut garlicky frites (weighing in at over a kilo), is anything but. 20
rue rosenwald. near rue franquet, 15e. 01.42.50.02.50.
