Le coin de table

We arrived late Friday night at 10pm, and were met with civility and charm by the chef’s wife? Maybe.
The pretty, glass-​windowed room is smaller and welcoming, maybe 25 covers. At 10pm on a Friday, it was full of clearly locals, enjoying their company and the last few glasses from their bottles of red wine. It was so nice to see patrons ordering by bottle, not the glass, although the option for not just glass but demi carafe is there.
The menu is limited but works.
They offer an excellent, classic charcuterie plate, available small or large, and we had delicious salamis, as well as one cheese that had depth and made the Menervois taste just right.
When the tripe was asked for, it was suggested this may not be the best choice for my 17 year-​old son. Good advice, as we both (I’m no tripe eater, other offal… yes) enjoyed the delicious Confit Canard. Our only observation was that the skin could have been crispier, but the flavour was just right.
When I asked for stronger cheese than the 3 offered, it was no problem, and a cake-​size slice of strong cheese came straight out at room temperature. Delicious.
There was no problem having a taxi called, and overall this was a very good local, yet utterly Parisian restaurant. Even Bouley, Boloud, or Ducasse would struggle to replicate the simple success of evening.

Petite table d habitues, très conviviale. Le concept est plus proche de la table d hôtes que du resto — on est la pour prendre son temps, autour d un bon verre et d une bonne assiette. Il n est pas rare d entamer une discussion avec la table d a cote. Choix limité mais toujours de qualité.
