Makes me smile big!
Next time you pass by, go for lunch. Les Papilles is one of our favorite restaurants in Paris. We go every visit.
It is a wine shop/restaurant. They serve only one menu and it is extraordinary. Bertrand will pick a wine from the collection for you or you may select your own. Following an appetizer, a large tureen of soup is brought to your table. In a large bowl there is a mound of ingredients for the soup. You ladle in what you want and enjoy a rich wonderful taste. Then the main course is brought in. It may be slow cooked lamb or beef in a sauce with vegetables. This we can never quite finish as every serving is voluminous. A cheese and compote is served nest, followed by a dessert. It is not inexpensive to be sure, but well worth the time spent. Delicious.
Les Papilles, 30 rue Gay-Lessac, 5th, Metro:Luxembourg (south stairs), bus #21 and $27.
It looks cheerful!
It reminds me of a small restaurant in which we ate 10 years ago. So lovely!
The way Richard Ewin described it is exactly as I remember it. We failed to stop in this past April while we were in the neighborhood. Makes me wish we had. It's a cozy and pleasant place to pass some time among the locals.
