Lunch near Place Vendome

[Roger le goéland]

Any recommendations for a quick, early (probably 11.30 - I must make a meeting at 1pm!) lunch near the Place Vendome during weekdays?

Le Castiglione, a high-end Cafe, has great food, on St. Honore, and is open all day. Superb Dover sole, and a fine burger (tres expensive); just a few steps from the Ritz.

Has anybody been to Les Cartes Postales, rue Gomboust?

Supposedly Michelin-level ingredients and preparation. Japanese, French-trained chef.

Since no one has chimed in on Postale, I can give you some second-hand input. The restaurant is just a half block from one of my former clients. They were all foodies, and had mixed opinions of the place. Apparently the signature dishes are not available on the Menu, and if you order off the Carte the tab gets quite expensive, approaching 100 Euros, before wine etc. No one had negative comments about the food. Give it a try.

The Rue Mont Tabor has many restaurants including Le Souffle and Pinxo where you might be able to catch a quick early lunch.

O.Tremont, the upstairs area of Flottes, on R. Cambon is a lovely place with an interesting menu.

Chez Flottes itself is't that bad. Aligote is always available, and included with the Confit de Canard. We tend to eat in the bar area, along with the locals. I never had a bad duck dish here; give it a try.
