Reed restaurant in the 7th - What a gem!
If you are looking for terrific French fare in Paris, try Reed at 11 rue Amelie in the 7th art. Joan recommended it to us and it lives up to the recommendation. We had dinner there tonight and it was just wonderful. Chaz had charcuterie ( jambon, andouillete and a duck rillete) ; delicious!! I started with a cream of cauliflour and leek soup. Also wonderful! The main courses were risotto with potimiron ( kinda like pumpkin) and blanquette de veau...bite were incredible! A light lemon "cheesecake" finished the meal. We hadcoffee and bottle of Sancerre rose for about 95 euros. The bread was perfect..just the right amount of crunch and chewiness. Catherine is just so friendly and lovely. She will take good care of you...it is just the kind of place we want to "find" in Paris. Thanks to Joan for finding it!!
For those of you headed to Paris, put this on your list!

denisea----keep it coming, I am living your trip with you and also with joan. I'm only home a short time and can't wait to return. Reed sounds wonderful and joan does choose the best restaurants, doesn't she?]
What is it about Paris that makes us want to return again and again? What is it about Paris that rules our thinking as we fall asleep? I don't have the answer, but these posts help to keep up the dream.

Cornelius...the vegetarian issue should be OK. There was a fish plat and my main was risotto with pumpkin and Parmesan. There was some shaved
Iberico ham on top but they would omit it if you them know .
My soup cauliflower/leek with creme fraiche.
I hope you all check Reed out!

None of my French friends would eat the skin of the potimarron (NOTE. potimarron, not potimoran)
In fact none of my French friends agree on the difference between a potiron and a potimarron. Each time one of them gives me an definite definition, the next person disagrees.

I kept looking for Denise's report on the running thread, but she has it separate. People will find.
Avalon, I found out about Reed upon arrival mid October, really from Catherine Constant. Catherine Reed opened it in May. Amelie is not a heavily travelled street, so it will be pretty much word of mouth for her to get going. She needs a good professional wait staff person, too.
The place is charming and she is a delight, and she knows how to cook! Prices are very reasonable. It is a great find, as far as I am concerned.
Casse Noix on Federation is a good new 'find' for me, too.
We are off to our annual Thanksgiving at Violon this evening. Can't imagine any better than last year!
a bientot..
