Stationed in the depths of the 15th since 2018, Thierry Blanqui (Le Beurre Noisette) has created an exciting spot in the otherwise depressing Porte de Versailles neighborhood, with exposed brick walls, tomette tile floors and cast-iron columns. At lunch, there’s a lovely set menu: lively sardine en escabèche over a tender bed of beets, surrounded by a toasted sesame vinaigrette; tender duck breast with a honey jus and butternut squash purée; before roasted figs with port and a buttermilk ice cream to wrap up the meal! At night, Café Noisette goes the sharing route with a beautiful tapas menu: artichoke hummus, pâté en croûte, salmon gravlax… // A.B.
