L'Entetee (Paris 14e) & La Cave Edmond (15e)

L'entetee

This small 15 table place was filled with local people recently. Service by 1 man, was unbelievably efficient and the 3 course menu at 30 euros was a true bargain.

The food is modern with an inventive twist such as the farmers chicken with ginger and coriander sauce or lemon based soupe au lait coco ,by the young chef Julie.

Interesting wine choices by carafe.Its usually crowded,so that you you hear all the conversation of your next door table ,such as the pursuit of a young woman by a 50+man.IT was quite entertaining for this solo diner.

La cave Edmond

This cave a vins was created by Thierry Burlot ,across from his restaurant in the 15th.

The focus is on wine ,and you choose your food from a limited menu of cold cuts ,soup ,cheeses and one main dish which is brought over from the restaurant across the street.The cold cuts are very good and the main dish as you may have guessed is excellent.The rub is that the wines are mediocre,with limited choices and not that cheap. I spoke with the manager .He said they were using the surplus wines of the main restaurant and is hoping that it will be replaced with new and interesting choices.

The place was frequented by locals only and they walked in with no reservation.The place is quite informal and somewhat reasonable
