L'Avant-Goût
$, Bistro, La Butte aux Cailles
Fodor's Review:
Christophe Beaufront belongs to a generation of gifted bistro chefs who have rejected the pressure-cooker world of haute cuisine for something more personal and democratic. The result: delighted customers, even if the restaurant is closed three days a week. The three-course prix-fixe costs EUR 31; there's also a lunch menu for EUR 14 and a more elaborate tasting menu for EUR 40. Typical of his market-inspired cooking is his signature pot-au-feu de cochon aux épices, with spiced pork standing in for the usual beef and the bouillon served separately. Homemade desserts and a good-value wine list round off a satisfying experience; children get an especially warm welcome here. Drop into his épicerie across the street to browse through his wine selection or order dinner to go, complete with a returnable cast-iron pot.
