The new Zebra Square under Thierry Burlot

[John Talbott]

Francois Simon on his blog revealed that Thierry Burlot of Le Quinze + Crystal Room has taken over the renovated Zebra Square where one can snack for 9 E and eat for 60 E.

I just ate at the newly reconstructed Zebra Square. It was pretty decent. Nothing to write home about, but ingredients were of quality, recipes were light, prices were not as high as you'd expect given the setting, cooking was even decent. Pasta pesto were textbook, and big (12€). Tartare toscan (with olive oil and basil) was au couteau. The poulet en fermier en cocote lutée was quite pleasant, a white pot sealed with good puff pastry, porcini and onions inside, a good juice (24€). In dessert, the chocolate soufflé was OK too and I had Fraises remontantes et fontainebleau that comes cutely wrapped in plastic foil and smells good when you open it and it sugar-free. Also a glass of Graves at 6€ was totally pleasant. I won't go back but I understand why some would.

And I was there before François Simon.
