Chez L'Ami Jean

Posted by pece at 5:32 AM

We're having dinner for breakfast today at bistro Chez L'Ami Jean...
You often ask me where to eat dinner - go here and you will not be disappointed.
It's a bit cher but worth every penny - about 34 euros for the prix fix...
The inside of this bistro is full of rustic ambience...
This is the menu ardoise they bring to the table so start practicing reading this chalky scrawl or you can just point and hope.
Did I say the food and interior is Basque..?

Nice Spanish details and very good homey bread from down the street at Secco

Jamon from Spain...

So naturally the chef, Stephane Jégo throws around some bacon but it's paper thin and adds just a hint of surprise flavor to the dishes, almost like eating air...

I ordered this the first time I want to L'ami Jean...

And Anne had this the second time I visited. A lot of dishes are happenings- things get poured or tossed or cut at the table adding to the drama and the fun.

This was a foamy mystery dessert that Anne had... L'Ami Jean is especially famous for their Riz au lait ‘grand-mère’ en service - a huge heaping bowl of rice pudding you serve yourself from..

As a surpise ending we were given this take-away box full of guimauve/marshmallows!

I love their little business card...

BONJOUR L'Ami Jean!!!
