Paris 2011 - Friday Verjus

I had been following the operators of the Hidden Kitchen for sometime. They recently opened a wine bar and in December their new restaurant Verjus (http://www.verjusparis.com/). It is a lovely space at 52 rue de richelieu with the restaurant seated upstairs and the compact wine bar below.

I was surprised to find the space filled with English speaking patrons and never overheard a single word of French. Still - seating was comfortable at the 20 or so tables. Dining offers two Fix Prix menus both with optional wine matching each course. A four course menu will set you back about 55 Euro and seven course runs about 85 Euros (wine takes it to 110 Euro).

After settling in - we opted for the four course meal and were delighted with the creativity and flavors. My tip - make reservations and plans to visit this lovely restaurant. It open in early December 2011 and is well worth a visit.
