We made a last minute reservation on our last night in Paris (I wish we had known of Tradi sooner!) While reservations were abundant on on Thursday night around 9:00 PM, the restaurant quickly filled up after we arrived, so I'm glad we grabbed a table. This is a small restaurant, and people tend to linger, so I wouldn't count on very many open tables.
We were greeted so warmly by the owner (whose name I failed to catch), who also doubled as our waiter. He brought out a hand-written English menu for us (all 'plats du jour,' or specials, which signals to me that things are market fresh and rotated regularly). We had a delicious wine, suggested to us by our friend, and a wonderful Camembert appetizer before simply prepared lamb chops and French ravioli. The food was wonderful, and the ingredients really shone through.
I regret not having found this restaurant earlier, but I'll be back next time I am in Paris. Warm welcome, charming and cozy atmosphere (there were constantly people coming in, greeting each other--it felt like a home) and a delicious and memorable meal. Thank you, Tradi!
