| - This one gave me some trouble - I think it's a decent place but gets lost in the million other bistros in this city.
There's nothing wrong with it, in the sense that it ticks all the right boxes - the decor is classy, airy, and modern with tall ceilings. The location is romantic (old port), and they serve tasty, albeit marginally creative small dishes at the usual high prices.
The problem is, there is nothing really offbeat or quirky about it, kind of in the same way a Lexus is a good sensible all-rounder but ultimately not really desirable. Petoncle tartare, a piece of nondescript white fish with a confit of some sort on top. The fact that I can't remember what exactly I had says something about the impact.
At the end of the meal , picking my teeth with a toothpick, I was thinking to myself "Nice place, but Deux Singes was better."
