L'Epigramme Description:
Behind the fountain on Place Saint Michel, on a tiny quiet street that looks almost provincial, L'Epigramme might not catch your attention, but this is a place that can take you back to the good old days of Saint Germain des Prés. The small room seats 26 and features visible wooden beams, limestone, wooden tables and comfortable high-backed chairs. Light floods in through two large windows. At the helm are Stéphane Marcuzzi, who spent 15 years in Guy Savoy's restaurant, and Aymeric Kraml, who formerly worked with Bocuse, Ducasse, Bardet and Piège. Don't look for foams or spherifications here. Instead, you will enjoy the cuisine of the great houses, such as the excellent pig's ear terrine served with a lentil compotée or a fresh green salad. The stuffed suckling pig comes with a turnip choucroute, while the wild sea bass is accompanied by little vegetables. End your meal with a homemade toasted brioche with citrus fruit marmelade. This cuisine has found its audience in the publishers, antique bookstore owners and local residents. Good wines at good prices are well represented. You might find a Saint Chinian, domain of Lamadura, 2004 for 26 € or a Côte Roannaise from Lapandery, 2006 for 21€.
