You need a reservation for Breizh, to eat crepes? ← YES, definitely. I called on Saturday afternoon and he had to squeeze us in that night and turned away tables while we were there. It's tiny and good. ← Good to know. I was just hoping to stroll in whenever I happened to be in the Marais. Is it usually that busy, even during lunch or week days dinner?

So how was your RW meal? Not really sure if you ended up having one or not.

I've been once and I second the opinions in this thread so far. It was excellent. Has anyone tried their hot pot? It's not mentioned on menupages. Any information about it would be great.

How much did your meal come to?

Silly Disciple, I will be in Barcelona next week, and I'll stop by to check out your stall!

Regarding the reservation at Espai Sucre, is it necessary? I don't have a reservation and hope to be able to visit one of the next few days.

Sneakeater, I agree completely with your post. I dined there about a week and a half ago and while I thoroughly enjoyed the food and my meal, I felt that something was off. Reading your post, I now understand what it is. That said, I still like the place and would definitely stop by if in the neighborhood.

I have a reservation upcoming for Annisa in early Nov. Looking at their website, I'm just curious if anyone can tell me if the menu/prices are accurate? It annoys me to no end when dishes, menus, and prices aren't as expected upon arrival...

I agree, it's quite clear they have a non-Japanese bias.

Lol Daniel, That's a good way to get a reservation. I've often had trouble getting a table at Totto, maybe I'll try that next time.

What about Sugiyama? Next to Yakitori Totto. Shimizu (on 51st between 8th and 9th) is also a good choice. It's always packed with Japanese businessmen, a good sign.

Not worth it, IMO. For the money, you could do Nobu ← Nobu is more expensive and a lot harder to get into. ← Certainly its harder to get into, but you can easily spend the same amount at EN ← And what amount is that? The last time I went to EN, it came out to be about 50 per person, including drinks and tax and tip.

Daniel, The banh mi place I always go to is "Viet-Nam Banh Mi So 1", on 389 Broome. I'm pretty sure it's the same one you mentioned.

I remember it being $15 a pitcher of Kirin. Not sure if that's what Daniel was talking about though.
