Cahier’s White and Calico cats teamed up to pay a
visit to Chez Pauline, a French restaurant that just
started a new mini-site. It’s a chic bistro where
you can taste genuine, traditional French food like
a ham and parsley terrine, rabbit terrine, escargot,
and foie gras… Something that has become
increasingly rare these days. White and Calico have
filed a photo-filled report on the food of André
Genin, who continues the traditions of his father’s
day. (2008-01-07)

A restaurant interior with a calm sense of chic.
This is what we call bistro chic! |
Flower petals decorate a pure white tablecloth. |
 |
This area has a great many
Japanese restaurants lining the streets, and
is quite familiar to Japanese people
traveling in Paris. As far as metro
stations, it’s nearest to the Pyramid or
Quatre Septembre. |
 |
Chez Pauline is on Rue
Villedo, one of the streets that cross the
road commonly referred to as “Japanese
Street”, Rue Sainte-Anne. |
|
|
The small roof tiles give
it such a Parisian appearance. As soon as
you see it you’ll feel like they must have
been here for years. |
|
|
The current chef is the
restaurant’s second, and since his father
has been managing the place since 1974 it’s
definitely a well-established place. |
|
|
The interior will also make
you feel like you’re back in Paris’s good
old days. Even during the day it is dimly
illuminated inside. |
|
|
The bar counter polished to
a shine and the tables decorated with
flowers don’t have the feel of today's
modern restaurants, but it’s certainly got
the atmosphere of Paris! |
|
|
Well then, let’s get to the
food! |
| |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
The appetizers are cut up and served
right in front
of you by a garcon. |
Jellied Ham and Parsley Terrine. Jellied Rabbit
Compote, Onion and White Wine Terrine. |
|
|
First, the appetizer. These
are their two famous terrines. It really
seems like the restaurants where you can get
this kind of delicious jellied food have
been gradually disappearing over the years. |
|
|
Definitely. But since this
is a standard recipe of classic French
cuisine, you’ll certainly want to try it at
least once when you come to France! |
|
|
The saltiness of the Ham
and Parsley Terrine and the elegant flavor
of the Rabbit and White Wine Terrine are
both a delicacy. And the acidity of the
cornichon (pickles) garnish really works
with it and increases the deliciousness. |
|
|
|

 |
This was a pretty luxurious report to file. White
and Calico are pretty satisfied with themselves. It
may be just a little expensive, but for those people
who want to taste some reliable, classic French food
at least once while they’re in France, this is
definitely the restaurant we recommend. These
flavors aren't flashy and they haven't changed in
generations, and that's why they'll drive home the
feeling that you're really in France. |
|
And since it faces a quiet little lane, we recommend
the terrace seating in the summer. It’s less than a
ten minute walk from the department store area with
Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, so when you can’t
decide what restaurant you want to have lunch or
dinner at, just head to Chez Pauline! And if you
print out and present the special coupon from the
mini-site before your meal, you can get a free kir
aperitif for one person, so please, by all means,
use it. |
