In the space usually dominated by Gilles Pudlowski in Le Point, Aurélie Jacques heralds the publication of Pudlo’s latest guide (2006: Michel Lafon, 459 p., 18 E) that features the 150 new restos that have appeared this year and a total of 1800 places located throughout Paris from the “eternal” (6th) to “emerging” (11th) arrondissements. He also touts the Italian pasta épicerie – Le Mille Pâtes in the 1st.
Thursday in l’Express, there was a review by Jean-Luc Petitrenaud of Boulangerie Julien, 75, rue Saint-Honoré in the 1st raving about his baguette and chocolate tartelette. Then they gave only one heart to the Italian food-serving Bistrot 31, 31, avenue Théophile-Gautier in the 16th, 01.42.24.52.31, open everyday, running you about 30-45 € and the rugby-inspired K1ZE, 15, rue Gaillon in the 2nd, 01.47.42.28.34, closed Sundays with “ridiculous” asparagus, not really “fierce” patatas bravas and “interesting” bourguignon for 20-25 €, lunch formula = 15,5.įigaroscope’s “Dossier” covered Lebanese places: Fevrouz, Pavillion Noura, Al Dar, Al-Alani, Fakhr El Dine, Fleurs de thym, Rimal, Al Mankal, B-Café + Beyrouth Mets et Vins,įrancois Simon’s ”Hache Menu” reviewed the Lebanese place Liza, which following my rules, I will not detail. Wednesday, as well, in Figaroscope, Emmanuel Rubin’s “C’est nouveau” reviewed and gave two hearts each to two French places – the improbably named Why Not?, 123, ave de Wagram in the 17th, 01.42.27.61.50, closed Sundays where for about 40-45 € (lunch menu = 28 €, other = 34 €) one gets a “verrine” of piperade, poached egg with a chorizo emulsion and a refreshing declinaison of Grand- Marnier Ripaille, 69, rue des Dames in the 17th, 01.45.22.03.03, closed Saturday lunch and Sundays with a menu-carte of 23 € and 29, lunch formulas for 11 + 15 € with pumpkin soup, scallops with cauliflower and figs with warm wine sorbet and the Thai place Ban Som Tam in the 17th. The other places he covered included two Italian restos – Il Tre + Osteria Ruggera, both in the 2nd and a Thai place – Thabthim Siam in the 8th. Wednesday, Sebastien Demorand of Zurban, reviewed only one French place – La Guinguette à Vapeurs, in the Parc de la Villette at the Rond-point des Canaux, enter from 211, av Jean-Jaurès in the 19th, 01.40.03.72.21, open everyday, a la carte about 20-25 €, which he didn’t like much except for the mussels and petite friture. In any case, like the weekly feature in JDD, it gives her favorite resto – la Table du Lancaster and bistrot – La Cuisine de Bar in the 6th, listed in the books as a café and run by Poilane and Co.
Monday, A Nous Paris (courtesy of Felice) gave the now familiar history of Apollonia Poilane’s assumption in 2002 of the famed bakery at age 18 after her parents’ death in a helicopter crash and her running it from Boston University (Class of 2007).

In Figaro’s Madame Magazine, there was an article on four reasons to go to the Salon Saveurs Dec 2-5 (featuring everything from truffles to fish to chocolate to booze with an emphasis on Italian cuisine) – more info can be found on Felice’s What’s Happening thread.
