My favorite 20-euro lunch

[julot-les-pinceaux]

I thought I had to share that again. At BE, bd de Courcelles, you can seat at lunch and be served a huge bowl of generously truffled coquillettes, with dices of a good ham and cheese and cream. The Ducasse truffle oil is brought on the side -- help yourself. This is 13 eur. Then for 4,10 you can have a passion fruit tart that competes with my Jamin memories. So, you know, try. I'm still tasting the well balanced, natural truffle taste in my mouth and I'm not sorry.

Priceless Julot, thanks so much for starting this topic.

It would be nice if you could mention the general part of Paris where these restaurants are located - so those of us who are planning a trip can make a note if and when we will be in those areas. Robyn

It's in the 8th.

Host's Note. Robyn: You raise an important point about giving coordinates and details that we agreed to a few years ago but are worth repeating: other readers/members are grateful when we put in addresses, telephone numbers, cost of "menus' and meals themselves, etc. I know that we all try to list the coordinates of new places but I suspect that once a place is listed in all the guidebooks, BE is an example, we omit details.

Fair enough -- Here's the website:

By the way, you see that it's not true that I dislike all that is Ducasse related...
