At Le Cadoret, The Ambiance and Starters Are Exquisite, but the Mains Leave Much to Be Desired
Unevenness plagues the menu of this convivial bistro. I will return, but next time time, I’ll order three appetizers and a dessert.
Flee Firmin le Barbier – You’re Better Off at a Supermarket
The promise of Firmin le Barbier’s stated goal of adding Thai twists to French classics in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower is a good one. Too bad it’s so poorly fulfilled.

Places that don’t take reservations often make me nervous – probably because I hate waiting in line for food. But I’d gladly wait for a table at Le Richer, a 9th arrondissement restaurant with a short, seasonal menu of delicious dishes from Chef Charles Compagnon of Le 52 and l’Office.
