As many of you know, Pianovins closed last April. What I didn’t know until a few days ago is that shortly thereafter, it was taken over by the people at Chefs à Table down the street and re-opened – with great success. My report is here.
Great review, @onzieme!. And good to hear you liked it Last year when trying to find out where Michel Roncière (the chef at the old Pianovins) might have gone, I read that the restaurant down the street had taken over the space and the name. But I had heard only very middling things about the food. It sounds like it has gotten better.
R and I had been fortunate in that we had never had anything but a superb meal at the former Pianovins, but we also scoured the weekly menu before booking a table. And of course the wine list meant very little to us since Eric knew what I liked and always chose a glass of something perfect.
But based on your review we will certainly try this new place in September if we can fit it in.
Looks like you were sitting at the same table Eric always seated us at, or the one directly across! It was also where we sat when it was Les Déserteurs.
