Restaurant OktObre, rue des Grands Augustins, Paris 6

Since our Paris stays overlapped late last week, my wife and I met Andy G & his wife at OktObre for lunch. Andy will probably have more details to share, but I remember that I thought that it was an excellent value for the quality of food served. I believe that the entrees of 3 parts (which 3 of us had) were very similar to your write up & I thought that each was very good, with maybe a slight let down on the 3rd (with the mayo), as I found it a little too sweet. As for the mains, my fish was the same as in your photo (whiting), plated exactly the same, and every bit as delicious. However, our failing memories (& no photos) cannot recall my wife’s plat, although we both think it was poultry (quail?) and thoroughly enjoyed. I do not recall our desserts.
Some of the memory of the food is clouded by the fact that we were very happy to meet Andy and his wife and to find that we had so much to talk about (& did). It’s great meeting up with fellow HO contributors & we’ve made lasting friendships by doing so. Thank you to Andy for reserving our lunch &, once again, thank you Onz for an excellent write up.
