La Bourse et la Vie - Paris

I would advise against going to this restaurant. When I dined there recently, there were NO French people dining there....only foreign tourists....and this says something about the place. Previously, according to a review I read, they offered gratis gougeres when one sat down....not now. The...wine pour, at 10 euros, was very skimpy (about 3oz). My pot-au-feu contained only two small pieces of veal, a few chunks of vegetables, and a mediocre broth....and that's it! It's not inexpensive, so what a ripoff!

Abbiamo prenotato qui dopo aver letto una recensione sul blog di David Leboviz: il locale e la cucina sono curati nei minimi dettagli, l'unico difetto, è forse proprio che il locale è molto piccolo e quindi gli spazi un po' sacrificati.La cucina è ottima, abbiamo ordinato agnello alla provenzale e choucroute alle rape. Piatti eccellenti ed anche molto coraggiosi per l'intensità dei sapori. di altissima qualità il formaggio, Comté, ordinato per dessert.Buona, anche se un po' limitata, la carta dei vini, ma anche in questo caso credo che sia l'impronta che si vuole dare al locale.

As with many who dined here, I chose this restaurant after reading a review. I made reservations for lunch one afternoon but missed my time because of weather and a metro line closure. No problem, they very graciously seated me and service from then on was impeccable. Far more so than many other restaurants I had dined at so far in Paris. I'd actually kind of gotten used to being ignored and having to signal for attention of any sort.I had a gorgeous oyster starter, olive oil, some kind of fabulous vinaigrette with coriander. I wanted to drink it! My mouth is watering right now just remembering it! Then, a decadent, silky foie gras with some rustic bread. And steak frites because, well, everybody orders them so they must be fabulous, right? Right! Crispy, perfectly salted, heavenly! Dessert was an interesting lemon thyme sorbet with olive oil and shaved chocolate. I wouldn't say I died and went to heaven over it but it was refreshing and a pleasant end to a delightful meal.It's a tiny place, I did feel a bit cozy with the next table, but, so what? It's a lovely, calming atmosphere with great service and wonderful cuisine. I highly recommend it and would love to return sometime.

Très bon choix pour un dîner entre amis le week-end. Dans ce quartier très spécialisé dans la cuisine japonaise, pas évident de trouver qqch de beau, bon et pas trop cher. Une bonne table et bon service
