RESTAURANT REVIEW

One can easily walk right past Adeline Grattard’s restaurant without noticing it, as it’s situated on a busy street near ’Les Halles in Paris and doesn’t look that different from the neighborhood’s other bistros. But ’looks are where the comparison ends – once you’re inside, the cooking is about as atypical for Paris as it gets. Grattard began her career working for Pascal Barbot at Astrance, which she followed up with a stint in the kitchen of Hong Kong’s vaunted Bo Innovation. Upon her return to Paris, she opened this restaurant and, utilizing her experience in those kitchens, forged a cuisine with dishes like lobster served in a bouillion of pimento, peas and egg yolks with XO sauce. The tiny restaurant (it is one of the toughest reservations to get in Paris) attracted raves for the food as well as a special pairing of teas that Grattard offers.
