Restaurant Reviews, by Philippe Toinard
LE PETIT CURIEUX
If this restaurant was to be rated, it goes without saying that it would be number one regarding its price and quality.
Indeed, other brasseries shouldn't hold their breath, because Le Petit Curieux, with it's 15 euros lunch, is going to leave them open-mouthed.
Marc, the headchef of the restaurant, is a real wine connoisseur and will definitely not disappoint you.

YAM’TCHA
What an amazing surprise this adress is! Adeline Grattard's cuisine is going to become the center of all the gossips, for months to come.
Previously working at Pascal Barbot restaurant L'Astrance, this cheerful young lady will give your taste buds a feast: Mozambik shrimps, bear garlic in sauce, Challans duc, stir-fry eggplants with black soya...it is blindingly obvious that the Yam'Tcha is the place to be.

Olive polenta, local cooked meat, or canistrelli ( traditionnal cakes), this restaurant doesn't pretend to spearhead the unique gastronomy of the island, but still, it is a good address in Paris.
