There has been a change of proprietor here, you are ostentatiously reminded on the menu just in case you hadn't got the message. Congratulations: even at lunchtime, the performance is cared for and the prices haven't joined the war that is going on in the neighbourhood. It is all thanks to the new proprietors. It doesn't mean that the lunchtime menu at 15 € will make you belly dance, or writhe with pleasure, nor make you play Tarzan hanging from the curtains. "Brick de chèvre" (goat's cheese in philo pastry) as a starter, folded like a sheet with crystallized vegetables inside (good) and melted cheese (not so good). It is just about worth 13,5/20. And 14,5/20 for my "suprême de volaille, purée de brocoli" (poultry supreme, broccoli puree). This dish is not at all salted! It's a shame because you rarely come across "supemes" as well prepared and as good as this one! Cross Mauricette's heart! The dessert of which I have forgotten the name is a little strange, "meringue maison avec un sorbet" (home-made meringue with sorbet) with raspberry sauce and even bits of fruit. Nothing really... well anyway good... 13/20. The apprentice-waiter likes his job, seems completely taken in by his mission. The day will come when he will step out of the purely mechanical state he is in, "he's going to hurt" as they say. Great, there should be more of them... and youngsters who are desperate to learn! Despite having recently taken over the establishment, the lady boss looks blasé. She can be optimistic, but she ought to learn a few lessons from her apprentice! A place that could do better but is fine up till now!
