Le Cristal - Paris, France

Surely we did not venture into a Mediterranean dive after lunching at The Ledbury? (It reads better in a fake British accent). Indeed, we resigned ourselves. It is surely an abysmal follow-up, but it’s midnight in Paris, and it’s the only thing open for miles. 


Though it is not a first choice, as the only choice, it could be worse. The Pirzola has twin lamb chops that are grilled to a gray, though not tough and is nicely perfumed where rosemary rests.


The Tavuk Sis is a pleasant surprise as the chicken is almost tender, not at all dry, and holds an enticing mix of spices. Both plates are piled with a tomato fried rice and a chopped tomato and cucumber mix, as well as a generous helping of salad with oil and vinegar and a pile of crispy potatoes.

You may not leave ecstatic, but you definitely won’t leave hungry. Le Cristal gets the job done. Not so unpleasant if they’re your only option, but maybe try to check for other options.
