eating (way too well) in paris: third stop at le gourmet ... - south of the border dish at grill restaurants

This is another fun stop for our culinary adventure in Paris, Le Gourmet restaurant offers French dishes that I have never seen in Paris for 15 years at a very good price.
Lunch time, where to go?
This is the third part of the series I started writing a few weeks ago about eating well in Paris.
I like the food here and the food here. I also hope other tourists will like it.
There are good reasons to guide them to places I am sure they will like.
Lunch time in Paris is restaurant time.
People who work in cities don't carry lunch bags with them.
They rarely enjoy the benefits of the company's catering service, but even if they do, this catering is not a good thing for anyone's eyes and taste buds.
Small restaurants offer a vital service: they provide food to the locals at satisfactory prices, low prices and record-breaking times.
What works for locals is for travelers, and your next cooking station is in this case.
After a morning stroll through the quaint streets of Mount Montmartre's slopes, you feel very hungry.
Your steps lead you to the placement of Clichy, a busy crossroads between the 17 th, 9 th and 18 th districts (metro station: "Clichy Square ").
It's time for the food experience!
You may be hungry, but you are not a fool.
You want to eat well, get out the flowers you hear
Earn cash for food with this name.
In my opinion, the restaurants near Clichy square are not worth the money they ask.
I think their dishes are either overpriced or too vulgar.
I have never had a satisfying lunch in these places. So where to go? Not far away.
When you are in the square of Clichy, turn yourself around and face the downward slope and the subway station is on your back.
Aim at the Creek Street on the left side of Amsterdam street.
Take about 200 yards along the street and turn left on Brussels Street.
Take another 200 yards.
You're on the sidewalk on the right.
Your next favorite food station is located in No.
19 Brussels Street
Product Name: happy food.
French bistro-recognizable logostyle facade. And a crowd.
If you happen to walk in around noon on the 30 th, you may have to wait a while.
The place is crowded.
I have been to this restaurant many times and I still have to go there on the day when lunch time is not packed.
My suggestion is: come around 12: 00 in the morning and grab a place before others.
The place exudes ancient charm with dark wooden boards, old posters, menu slabs marked with chalk on the walls, traditional bars, mosaic floors, Bistro
Style of chair and table.
It smells good, although cigarette smoke can be a problem when the facade door is not open.
About two years ago, the owner and chef bought the restaurant from the first and long term restaurants
The time owner, an elderly couple, retired after driving a boat more than anyone in the local area could remember.
The new owner liked the decoration and decided to keep it.
Yes, except for the facade changed in early 2006.
In this very Parisian setting, customers immediately felt welcome and were soon seated by the boss or smiling waitress.
It was lunch time and they knew the customers were in a hurry.
No unnecessary delay
The menu is actually written in chalk on the slate hanging on the front and back walls.
This is a great feat for such a small restaurant, and the menu changes every day.
Anyone who has lived in Paris for a while knows that the restaurant menu will not exceed "plat du jour "--
The main cost of the day.
Even "plat du jour" doesn't change much: the same classes tend to go back to the menu from week to week.
This is not the case in "le Gourmet": The menu changes every day and no two weeks are the same. True diversity.
Even if you eat there for 20 days a day, you can try 20 different classes.
The boss is from tureen province in western France.
He likes traditional French dishes, and his dishes are mainly inspired by the famous Burgundy and Lyon regions.
Enjoy a gourmet side dish at 'terroir' where you can taste beef pork feet (Suris de veau) cut beef (onglet de veau) and roast thead fish (daurade royale r 'tie ), duck Stew (pot-au-
Feu in Canada, pork dumplings (brochelle de brochet ).
The list continues.
In order to get fresh products from his favorite supplier, he wakes up every morning at 3: 30 to go to the wholesale market (Rungis market in the south of Paris ).
He only buys what he needs for the day, loads up the truck and returns to his restaurant where he spends the morning cooking for lunch.
The chef's motto is "fresh products, traditional preparation ".
He used butter, not margarine.
He's not buying frozen products or frozen products. the-
When he prepared the sauce himself, the sauce on the shelf. He is light-
He handed him the spices he thought were "too often hidden.
Le Gourmet's menu usually offers 4 appetizers (such as heated goat cheese served on country bread), 3 or 4 main courses (meat, fish, poultry) and 4 desserts.
The selection of desserts is also very old.
School: depending on the day, your options may include chocolate whipped cream, baba au rhum (a sponge cake full of de-alcoholic rum), ganache cookies (chocolate mixture, cream and butter), orange cake, fudge cake, floating island (beaten protein floating on French cream frozen), red fruit pie and so on.
Light wine has a large share of the wine list.
The chef's hometown is Valencay (located in the heart of the toureen area), who buys bottles directly from local producers.
This list includes a variety of Wells. thought-
Grape varieties: ganmei, Cabernet Sauvignon, Valencia, burgai and SumorChampigny.
How much is it all?
In addition to the quality of the food you provide at Le Gourmet, the check is another surprise.
For only 13 euros (about $16), you can enjoy a hearty meal in the most enjoyable atmosphere and in record time.
Just spend a few more dollars and you have wine to complete your experience.
To be honest, few restaurants in Paris can give you so much at such a low price.
Le Gourmet won my vote anytime, anywhere.
I recommend it to you with all my heart. Where?
