Blogger Buzz: Saut du Loup version 2010, la chute?

Jul 30th

Posted by Mouth in Chrisoscope

No comments

Le Saut du Loup, ouvert début 2007, avait plutôt bien commencé. Sa terrasse jouit d’une situation et d’une vue uniques à Paris. Des débuts un peu poussifs, une espèce d’amateurisme (comment gérer une terrasse à Paris sans tenir compte d’un facteur clé : la météo), mais rattrapé par un service généralement gentil et appliqué, des assiettes correctes et ce cadre splendide! Si ce n’était pas parfait les saisons précédentes (je n’ai pas publié ma mise à jour 2009), avec des hauts et des bas, globalement ça allait.

Cette soirée du 12 juillet n’avait pas trop mal commencé, nous avions rejoint V, déjà installée, qui dégustait un verre de vin du Nouveau Monde (pas terrible ce vin). Notre table n’était pas très bien placée (ça arrive), et en plus,il y a maintenant des mâts qui gâchent la vue, dont un qui me masque la tour Eiffel! Pas moyen de changer!

Blogger Buzz: Out and About and Only Just Beyond My Doorstep

You know it’s a good day when you turn the corner and find someone handing out cups of fabulous Grom Gelato (actually, it was sorbetto) in your all-time favorite flavor: apricot.  There she was, The Grom Girl, on the corner of rue de Buci and rue de Seine (Grom is at 81 rue de Seine) and, needless to say, for a few minutes she was the most popular girl on the block.  I’ve never seen Grom give away free ice cream on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, but then they don’t have as many competitors there.  In a one-block radius in this Paris neighborhood, Grom keeps company with Amorino, It Mylk (frozen yogurt), Cacao et Chocolat and Ben& Jerry’s.  And I bet I’ve left out a few.  This little stretch, which is usually bustling with locals and tourists (when it’s not the quietest weeks of summer, as it is now), has become ice-cream central.

Having had dessert first — always a good idea, I mean, what if I ran out of time? — I went off to a meeting at with (fabulous, wonderfully talented) David Turecamo at Le Chai de l’Abbaye on the rue de Bourbon le Chateau.  The street’s only about 3 inches long, but it has a great gallery, two high-fashion depot-vente boutiques, a.k.a. thrift shops, and my favorite wine shop in all of Paris, La Derniere Goutte.

Blogger Buzz: Guy Martin au Grand Véfour – toujours dans le vent

Jul 28th

Posted by Mouth in Chrisoscope

Pourquoi lancer une opération de communication sur le web? Ces réponses n’engagent que moi, mais ça pourrait être : pour rajeunir l’image du Véfour (qui jouit, mais pâtit sans doute aussi, de son statut d’institution, cf. la Tour d’Argent) et montrer ou rappeler que ce n’est pas uniquement un endroit historique, mais surtout un grand restaurant avec une véritable identité, une équipe de salle de très haute volée, un chef très doué dont l’équipe prépare de superbes et excellents plats et, sans doute le point le plus important : un lieu vivant et hautement recommandable, pour de nombreuses raisons. Une preuve parmi tant d’autres? Il n’y a qu’à voir le vernis à ongles de deux de mes camarades de déjeuner. Endroit vivant où l’on se sent à l’aise, bien entouré, loin de la guinderie et de la morgue de certains grand restaurants « historiques »…

…Le cadre du Grand Véfour a un charme fou et un cachet unique (rien à voir avec l’Arpège ou l’Astrance). L’animation de l’équipe en salle (très bon niveau, comparable au professionnalisme de l’Ambroisie, article à venir) rend cet endroit très vivant. La cuisine de Guy Martin est de très haut niveau (qu’importe s’il n’a plus trois étoiles, c’est un grand garçon, il n’en a pas besoin), tantôt classique, tantôt plus délurée, mais toujours juste, ce qui permet de plaire potentiellement à différentes générations, et pas simplement à des food fashion victims ou des seniors plus classiques. L’ambiance est tout simplement unique, habitée/hantée par un esprit magique, qui doit sans doute beaucoup au Palais Royal et à l’Histoire.

Blogger Buzz: Le Chateaubriand

It isn’t you, it’s me.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand why many people love Le Chateaubriand, and there are many things that I like about it myself.

I like the minimal, retro room, with a real or faux patina (I’m not sure which, and I don’t care).  I like the waiters who are generally professional, efficient and, quite frankly, hot.  I like the hip wine list.  I like the price – 45 euros for a five course meal.  I like the fact that you can show up late in the evening, and if you are willing to wait a little while, get a table without a reservation.

I also like the way Inaki Aizpitarte’s food looks.  The colors are odd and bold and there’s something painterly about the presentation, many plates looking like still lifes or botanical illustrations of spindly leaves and rare roots, completely natural and unnatural at the same time.
