Dusted decor has kept its look of yesteryear Inn

Cosy and boutiquière, ennobled by a few beautiful mansions of the 18th century inserted in a street environment, seeks-Midi Street strives not drink and eat. Twenty institutions of all kinds: coffees, snacks, tea, pubs, etc. allow to feed according to its wishes. La gente féminine, follower of the shopping and nibbling, appreciated especially Cuisine de Bar (No. 8 of street), emanation of Poilâne House, where she restores to a slice of bread of smoked Poîlane tomato-mozza, wild salmon slices bread, or foie gras, and Mamie cakes (No. 66), graceful tea room where it is introduced with a salad or a vegetable piefollowed by a delicious pastry House. Seeks Midi, the Marlotte, the Petit Verdot, and Dumonet, the winner quadactor of the street, welcome, lunch or dinner those who want to restore more substantially by passing a pleasant moment to table.

Seeks Midi, italo-mondain to the Parisian atmosphere, playing sold-out midday and evening since now more than 30 years. The "pipoles" there alongside the beautiful world of the neighbourhood, kindly allowed by Franco and his team. All honour to beautiful charcuterie Italian (superb culatello of Zibello and artisanal Bologna), to the creamy mozzarella of Buffalo, or good pasta still make fresh House (four "pasta" different, which change regularly). Side dish, the kidneys of lamb sautéed with herbs and fungi niaque will fill comfortable lovers of offal.

Further, past the boulevard Raspail, the Marlotte, old institution had its moment of glory in the past, found colours since its takeover by Gilles Ajuelos, head of La Bastide Odéon. Dusted decor has kept its look of yesteryear Inn. In the kitchen, it has adjusted its partition culinary "neo-traditional" around a menu changing regularly and that it be preferred to a map whose prices put a little too pass.

The Petit Verdot, tiny Bistro, demonstrated that simply have a passion for French cuisine to give a beloved read even if it was not born in France. This is the case of Hideyoshi Ishizuka, its owner, native of Hokkaido, ex-sommelier of Cordeillan-Bages and Hiramatsu. The passionate "bistrote" (which chooses its wines in expert), with the help of his Chief Yoshi Morié, follows the rhythm of the seasons and shipments, to to the finish us enjoy a daily recital of a high accuracy. Saint-jacques stir-fries, parsnip pancakes, roots of parsley, juice of Iberian ham, basis of canned stew beef, veal and fried Salsify ris, etc. are not the rants of amateur. Chef cooking at the minute there always a wait time (ten minutes between meals).

Finally, almost at the end of the street at the edge of Montparnasse shines without Eclipse in Dumonet, an ex-bouillon by the same family since 1962. Jovial Jean-Christian Dumonet, who succeeded his father and his brothers made round trips and between the kitchen and distilling its good mood throughout. Le bistrot crowded permanently, lively and noisy, with a roaring service, is the image of the past, which partly explains his success. Jean-Christian Dumonet at bottom plays the traditional card and this please. The background strips of warm artichoke lemon butter, stuffed with Morels, fatty liver House are entries of choice and the andouillette of Troyes AAAAA grilled Apple sarladaises or even bourguignon beef with fresh tagliatelle in cream (classic House!), dishes preferred. Some entries and dishes are served in half, while filling the appetites. Book cellar using the beautiful part in the bordeaux.

Finally it would be unfair to forget Epi Dupin (street 6th Dupin), the "blockbuster" of the district which is located at 100 metres of the street of the Midi seeks. Chief François Pasteau, always to the stop since the opening of its restaurant ten years ago, was able to renew its cuisine beautifully and recently give a more light-hearted look at the framework. Mandatory reservation.
