After the Puces, Thomas Fritsch took, like many talented merchants, the path to Saint-Germain des Prés. His style ? The 1950s and 1960s, culminating in ceramics and unique pieces by Pol Chambost, Georges Jouve, Roger Capron, André Aleth Masson, Jacques and Dani Ruelland, and Denise Gatard.
This is one of the favorite bistro addresses of Germanopratin people. After Fish, la Boissonnerie, Cosi and Freddy’s, the American Juan Sanchez and the New Zealander Drew Harré wanted to create, still in Saint-Germain, a place dedicated to healthy and seasonal cuisine, with many raw foods, fish and seafood and little meat. Soups, gazpachos, tartares, carpaccios and other ceviches are therefore in the spotlight. Eric Trochon, Meilleur Ouvrier de France 2011, and his team, concoct all this in front of us, in the kitchen open to the room.
In a zen and warm decor, traditional Japanese cuisine concocted by Chef Naoto Masumoto. On the menu, Ingen Bainiku Ae, crunchy green beans with pieces of Japanese plum scallops, Goma Tofu, cold sesame tofu, homemade Tsukemono, crunchy pickled vegetables, or Ohitashi vegetables marinated. Sashimi of course, but also tempuras, vegetable and shrimp fritters, or a Gyu no wafu steak, Japanese-style beef with Ponzu sauce.
But the chef’s great specialty is the Soba, buckwheat flour noodles prepared on site and which he offers hot or cold, with different accompaniments: duck breast, tempura, in soup with scallops or good again with Japanese daikon and chanterelles.
