We decided to have lunch today a tad later rather than dinner as we head to the new production of Lez Miz here in Paris this evening. GLOU is a small popular modern bistro in Le Marias that at 2pm was still full of locals. We were seated upstairs where the huge windows overlooked the beautiful Picasso Museum across the street and despite being full, we did not feel crowded like the night before. We even had a friend in the dog at the next table who could tell we were dog lovers!
I ordered a glass of white Beaujolais "lievre blanc" 2021 Domaine Jean Max that was loaded with citrus and was great with my first starter (we each ordered two appetizers): Huitres tres speciales de M. Jean-Paul Guernier no, 3 d'Utah Beach which were salty and briny and from the famed Normandy Utah Beach. Will started with a glass of Languedoc red and chose the Tartare de VEAU BASQUE, jaune oeuf, marne au soja which was an amazing tartare of veal with a barely cooked egg and served with grain/cereal seeded crackers. I had the same dish as my second starter, but chose to use the tasty bread instead of the crackers. I had mine with a glass of Loire VDF "Bangarang" red from Domaine Masse 2023 which was about the fruitiest red wine ever, but I loved it.
Will had a plate of Beignets de Pommes de Terres with Tome fraiche and Aoili which were the richest creamiest croquettes that he raved about and praised way more than those of the previous night!
It was a yummy lunch and we opted for coffee as opposed to dessert since tomorrow is our multi-Michelin star multi-course dinner!
Off to Les Miz!
