It's still only open for lunch. Which is a shame: it's simply too much for lunch for me, but it does look like an exciting menu.

Another new place that I like very much is La Bigarrade, rue Nollet, 17th arrondissement. It's a tiny little spot where the chef cooks a single prix-fixe menu nightly at 60 Euros, a bit expensive, but well-worth it in terms of the food. And just in case you were thinking of going to Aux Fin Gourmets, the old bistro on boulevard Saint...http://www.well.com/conf/inkwell.vue/topics/327/Alec-Lobrano-Hungry-for-Paris-page09.html#... 221: Howard Levine (hll) Sun 6 Jul 08 06:44- July 6, 2008 Alec - We're thinking of visiting Itineraires later this month.
