As the Zen proverb goes : if you kill a chicken and you prepare it badly - the chicken died for nothing. Luckily, the same cannot be said for the delicious roast chicken at this new destination on the rue des Martyrs - around the corner from the Hotel Amour - which died for a very good cause. A passion for the best fresh produce is evident on the menu - and on the restaurant window - with names of farmers and producers who supply ingredients : from Alain Passard for légumes no less, to Mr. Aimé for his bœuf de Chalosse. As is to be expected from the crew behind funky restaurants La Famille, le Réfectoire or Chéri Bibi, their latest is a great combination of an understated interior, cool tunes and a savvy local clientèle. The ‘formules' offer good value for money too: at dinner, 20€ entrée + main or 25€ entrée, main, dessert, and at lunch, 17€ for 2 courses and 20€ for three. FJ
