Bonhomie — Restaurant in Paris

This place felt very overrated. I was seated at the bar where the open kitchen is and had the pleasure to watch them operate. I had the octopus as a starter. It was very tough, under seasoned, and I received a mixture of small pieces that appeared to be scraps. To make matters worse I got to watch 5 more octopus plates go out that evening that had only 1 beautiful tentacle on them. My main plate was the skate wing. The chorizo was rendered to the point I couldn't cut it and was dry, tasteless, and almost burnt. Being a bone-in wing made it difficult to eat the apple that was underneath and to try the components together. The menu says it should feed 2 and it clearly does not. We spent 70 Euro on 2 drinks, and 2 plates. Way too much for what amounts to bar food.

Maybe something for the establishment to think about.

All the food was great and had some good unique flavours. The tuna had kaffir like throughout the dish which brought some great fresh flavours.

The standout cocktail was the Bloody Mary which was spiced with...

We visited Paris over the New Year and discovered your restaurant in the book "Paris - City Guide For Design Lovers" and were keen to visit you. I made a reservation for our first evening, because we were blown away by your menu (and we both love cauliflower). As we entered the restaurant, we felt at home immediately: the overall concept, the interior, the open kitchen, the long bar counter, the friendly staff and last but not least the familiar atmosphere gave us a very special feeling from the very first second. After the excellent dinner, we went over to your bar, where we stayed for hours and enjoyed the best espresso martini in town. We enjoyed the evening with you so much that we definitely wanted to come back. On our last evening in Paris, we...
