Chez L'Ami Jean

 Dinner for breakfast at bistro Chez L'Ami JeanYou ask me where to eat dinner - go to L'Amie Jean and you'll not be disappointed. It's a bit cher but worth it. 34 euros for the prix fix. Inside is full of rustic ambience... The menu ardoise brought to the table - so start practicing reading chalky scrawl or just point and hope. The food and interior is Basque.

Nice Spanish details and very good homey bread from down the street at Secco Jamon from Spain...

Chef, Stephane Jégo throws around the bacon but it's paper thin and adds just a hint of surprise flavor to the dishes, almost like eating air.

 My order first visit to L'ami Jean...

 Anne had l'homard the second visit. Many dishes are happenings. Things are poured, tossed or cut a table adding drama and fun.

 A foamy mystery dessert Anne had. L'Ami Jean is famous for their Riz au lait ‘grand-mère’ en service - a huge heaping bowl of rice pudding you serve yourself.

A surpise ending -we were given take-away box full of guimauve/marshmallows.

I love their little business card.
