Juliette Nouchi and Charly Mabileau (son of a Loire winemaker) make an adorable couple. They both trained at the École Ferrandi, before bringing Les Chemins de Table into the world in 2017, a nomadic catering business centered around values that are dear to them: traceability, seasonality, creativity. Now they’ve settled down at a small restaurant that’s as clean as a freshly minted coin, with trendy decor (an open kitchen, bare walls, pickle-green tones) and a menu that’s as simple as hello: four big chef’s sandwiches, a salad, three sides and two desserts to choose from. For us, the day we went for lunch in May, we had an admirable homemade Vienna bread sandwich filled with slices of warm pistachio sausage, Lebanese shanklish cheese and fennel salad dressed in kumquat vinegar, which we paired with crisp radishes and homemade butter churned with wild garlic and puffed buckwheat (incredible), along with a potato waffle with herring and a creamy herb sauce. For the entirely homemade desserts, there was frozen yogurt topped with spiced dulce de leche and puffed rice, or diplomat cream infused with orange blossom, plus strawberries, rhubarb and a rosemary-hazelnut cookie. // Albert Gredinbar 

FEELING THIRSTY? Pure Gironde libations that have been carefully sourced: Monkey’s Joke soda (toasted green tea or ginger beer, €3.50 for 330 ml), fruit kefir from the Brasserie Parallèle (raspberry-hibiscus or passion fruit, €4), IPA or wheat ale from L’Effet Papillon (€5.50 for 330 ml). 
PRICE: Sandwiches €9, sides €3, desserts €3-4, but no combo menu, sniff sniff!
