A small, modern yet inviting space with an abundance of wine shelves, a charming French waiter, and apparently quite popular with the locals.
We started off with their ‘bitter salad’ with olives, Marcona almonds, pecorino, and I swear I detected a lil hint of anchovies in the dressing and grilled duck hearts with chimichurri bc DUCK HEARTS. They were so good we ordered another portion.
We then split the sweetbreads bc SWEETBREADS with ‘heart salad, crispy bread & watercress,’ which were good, but a bit skimpy on the sweetbreads. I’m also not fond of too much breading, and these were overwhelmed by it. Probably our least favorite dish.
The beef tartare, OTOH, was delightful, with pickled beech mushrooms, espelette, capers, and watercress.
Our final dish was the catch of the day, mullet with spring vegetables (wonderfully charred spring onions), mussels & mussel sauce.
All the sauces were sop-up-worthy, and I felt positively stuffed after all that food.
A bit of a splurge, but worth it.
