Last month we took the metro to the nearby town of Montreuil where we dined at a restaurant called La Grosse Mignonne. As well as enjoying a great meal, we also had the pleasure of listening to an entertainer named Vilna sing a medley of Brazilian songs. Every Saturday evening there is a music concert featuring jazz or world music.

On Friday and Saturday evenings during the month of March, La Grosse Mignonne holds jazz manouche (gypsy jazz) concerts under the sponsorship of David Reinhardt, the grandson of the famous Django Reinhardt. Some of the top performers in this musical genre come to the restaurant to play!

Read about the restaurant in this month’s Paris Insights. Our review is the only full-length review of La Grosse Mignonne that you will find on the Internet.

While one can find short citations on the Internet that mention the existence of Les Belles Miettes, a restaurant in the 11th arrondissement that has been open since 2009, to our knowledge there are no full-length reviews of this fine establishment.

One month after posting a review about Les 5 for our monthly newsletter, I returned yesterday to have lunch.

The 18€ three-course lunchtime menu featured velouté of mushroom, prawns with risotto, and three scoops of artisanal ice cream for dessert. The velouté was thick and savory and the prawns with risotto were spicy and flavorful. For the ice-cream dessert I had a wide choice of flavors. I selected caramel, Bulgarian yoghurt, and almond milk…so smooth, so dreamy!

The bill for the three-course menu, plus a glass of Chablis and an espresso came to 25.20€. A great price for such a delicious meal!

On the first of each month, we publish a restaurant review, which we call “Le Bon Goût,” for the readers of our Paris Insights newsletter. In it, we not only describe our dining experience, but also write about the chef or the proprietor, and illustrate the review with a photograph of him or her.

We have been reviewing restaurants for many years, and have met many chefs and proprietors who are passionate about the art of preparing great cuisine. By writing about them, we hope that we can communicate their passion to you, their customer.

In this month’s Le Bon Goût we review Bistrot Poulbot, a restaurant that lies on the north slope of Butte Montmartre, just down the hill from a cabaret called Le Lapin Agile. Operated by Chef Véronique Melloul, it is a great place to dine before taking in the show!
