Reviews of interest

  • Le Figaro (2011) “…les assiettes sont jolies à la sortie du passe-plat mais sacrément bonnes : crème de concombre au lait de coco, tartare de daurade au curry, poitrine de veau à la verveine…Et vous avez vu les prix?”
  • Bruno Verjus (2011) “Les mets offrent la netteté et la pureté du travail bien fait. Le chef, Franck Baranger, longtemps première main chez Christian Constant cuisine avec la fierté de l’artisan. Soucis du détail jusqu’à l’obsession, pour l’élaboration de ses couleurs, textures et saveurs.”
  • Barbra Austin (2011) “…generous and comforting, but clearly underlined by training and experience…Raw oysters swam in a green puddle of lettuce purée, cool, bright, and briny. Celery root soup was refined but as soothing as you’d want it to be…”
  • Chroniques du Plaisir (2011) “Service un peu lent mais d’une gentillesse désarmante. A deux pas de chez moi, j’ai enfin trouvé ma cantine: je suis joie!”
  • Pierrick Jégu – L’Express (2011) “Quand d’autres rutilent et futilent, l’humble Pantruche file droit à l’essentiel de sa dégaine Paname, à la fois désuète et charmeuse, et d’une cuisine précise, juste et savoureuse.”
  • John Talbott (2011) “The joue de boeuf… took a good deal of salt and pepper to bring up to edible – the wine in the sauce just had no heft… My friends all love the place, the service is terrific, the prices right and the setting superb, but I will not be back.”
  • François-Régis Gaudry – L’Express (2011) “…l’adresse de Franck Baranger et de son acolyte en salle Edouard Bobin était résolument formidable et d’un rapport qualité-prix rare entre Martyrs et Pigalle.”
  • Sébastien Demorand (2011) “Ça s’appelle le Pantruche, c’est dans le 9e arrondissement de Paris, capitale de la France, et c’est un des meilleurs troquets que j’ai croisé depuis… depuis longtemps.”
  • Barbra Austin via Girls’ Guide to Paris (2011) “One friend ordered braised beef cheeks, almost falling apart, glazed with their own reduction and studded with carrots…my pork chop was wonderfully juicy, in a pan sauce flecked with whole grain mustard and accompanied by little golden grenaille potatoes that my friends kept trying to poach from my plate…”
  • Alexander Lobrano (2011) “The marine-whiff of salted cod was a terrific spark to the obvious pleasure of…a coddled egg on creamed baby leeks, what’s not to like?–and my foie gras was topped with that lemon-yellow layer of fat (normally proof that it really is not only fresh but homemade), exquisitely well cooked and seasoned.”
  • Gilles Pudlowski (2011) “Bref: du déjà vu bien vu, bien fait, mitonné en finesse, tarifé avec gentillesse.  Comme les vins choisis, ainsi le saint véran du domaine de la Greffière tarifé 17 € la demie. Allez y de notre part: vous serez bien reçu!”
