[JMillar]

Apologies if a repeat thread-

I'd be interested in hearing about any interesting new openings quality of food is more of a consideration than decor.

Failing that I'd like any good tips ofr more of the same in Montparnasse / St Germain I have read good things about Le Timbre.

Your final comment concerns me. Can you tell us more about the kind of resto you are looking for?

I cannot speak for Margaret but Le Timbre has been open for a decade or longer. If you're looking for brand new places, say places that have opened in the past year, take a look at Pierre45 or my posts. If you're looking for those that have been open longer, say 6-18 months, both Lebey + Pudlo mark new ones with an N. For this week's openings, the Digest has the five new ones that open each week, reviewed by Figaroscope + A Nous Paris in particular. And for those about to open, Alain Fusion's website Les Restos.com often is ahead of the curve.

It's a bit more work but just scrolling down the first few pages of the France Forum, you'll come across discussions of many new places; "Truly Creative," "Emerging Stars" & "Cheap Eats" are about as current as one can get, with the Table d'Eugene, Jadis, Fermin, Dos de la Baleine, Cantine du Troquet + Au Gout Dujour etc. Happy Hunting!

My concern is that Le Timbre is probably the least typically French bistrot we have visited: British chef, English speaking guests. You could be in London or Leeds or San Francisco. I should add that the crowd (it only seats around 20) was very much enjoying the ambiance and comraderie made possible by common language so I suppose it was we who were out of step.
