L'epigramme
9 rue de l'Eperon,
75006 Paris
Metro Odéon
Area St Germain des Prés
The recently opened L'Epigramme is a pleasantly bourgeois dining room with terracotta floor tiles, wood beams, a glassed-in kitchen and comfortable chairs. Like the decor, the food doesn't aim to innovate but sticks to tried and true classics with the occasional twist. Marinated mackerel in a mustardy dressing on toasted country bread gets things off to a promising start, but the chef's skill really comes through in main courses such as perfectly seared lamb with glazed root vegetables and intense jus. It's rare to find such a high standard of cooking at this price, so be sure to book.
Open noon-2.30pm, 7-11.30pm Tue-Sat; noon-2pm Sun.
