Ambos - Review - Saint-Germain-des-Prés - Paris - The Infatuation

"The table next to you at this buzzy bistro near Jardin du Luxembourg might be full of politicians from the nearby French Senate, or twenty-somethings from a skate park. It’s a real mixed crowd, and just one of the reasons Right Bank residents are willing to cross the river to eat here. The menu is French but inspired by the chef’s time traveling in Thailand, which translates to things like tender beef served with a lemongrass jus and shrimp tartare topped with a crispy tamarind cracker that’s almost like deconstructed pad thai." - Sara Lieberman
