If you want a slightly odd and rustic experience in Paris, check out
ChantAirelle in the
5th.
It's a simple restaurant featuring recipes and products from the
Auvergne, plus a bit of touristy stuff stuck on front. Don't fear
though, the staff is friendly and the cooking is good. Nothing we had
was subtle; this is casual mountain food. But the potatoes and cheese
dish was tasty with a delicious thin sliced ham. My "salmon trout"
turned out to be salmon prepared as if it were a mountain trout; a bit
bizarre, but good.
I'd say this place isn't worth a particular trip, but if you're tired of the Parisian experience you can get a bit of Auvergne feel for a cheap price. Nice outdoor space in back, too. |
