We are meeting a friend for lunch and he is free to meet us anywhere. Unfortunately we have to do some work at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France Mitterand, which is on the line 14 in the 13th arondisement. Last time I was there about 5 or 6 years ago, it was desolate. Anything open up nearby the library which is worth going to for a good, if not superb lunch?

I'm afraid not. I've been to A la douceur Angevine and was not impressed. There are a couple of new places on the Southwest corner of the Library but I've not been inside. I suggest you get back on the handy-dandy #14 and high youself back to the right bank fast or schlep up to l'Ourcine .

How about taking the 14 line two stops to Bercy and changing to the 6, and then to Place d'Italie, and trying L'Avant Gout? I haven't been there, but it sounds great.

L'Avant Gout?

Anti-alcoholics are unfortunates in the grip of water, that terrible poison, so corrosive that out of all substances it has been chosen for washing and scouring, and a drop of water added to a clear liquid like Absinthe, muddles it." ALFRED JARRY

It's quite OK and was written up in the March Paris Notes by Rosa Jackson in her Paris Bites.

I loved it and have always wanted to go back. The chef, Christophe Beaufort, was written up in today's Figaroscope in a piece they did about their 7 favorite Parisian chefs.
