Le Ruisseau

An excellent place for a burger in Paris. Thoroughly scouted. Staked-out for nearly two hours at La Piscine bar nearby, waiting for it to open. The burger? Excellent bunage: sweet, rounded, glazed. Warm mouthfeel with professional patty : bun : pickle : cheese : onion : jalapeño : mustard ratio. There was some runniness and tactical eating but this didn't slow me down or spoil my enjoyment. The patty was good with a tiny bit of visible juice at the onset without escaping the confines of the bun. A distinct lack of crunch with onions below the patty and no lettuce in the bun. Accoutrements were solid without being spectacular, so I can't give them top marks. Good dipping sauce, strong mustard flavour, skin on chips (a bowl between two) and lightly-dressed slightly bitter salad.
