Les Bienfêteurs — Restaurant in Paris

Been wanting to go here for a while; we live so close by and still hadn’t tried it. Finally went for dinner one night and I have to say, it was really quite nice! We were welcome by a kind waiter to was happy to accommodate our baby’s pram even. I was quite excited upon seeing the menu and I was prepared to try to fish… and I should have. This is where things took a twist: the waiter suggested the specialty of the day, a lamb shoulder for 2, braised for 7 hours and knowing how much my husband enjoys meat, I decided to give in and we were excited to try it. In the meantime , we enjoyed our wine and the music and were having a good time! The waiter was even kind enough to suggest we skip the entree so as to save our appetite for the main course. The food arrived and looked spectacular, smelled delicious and we both dug in. The meat was super juicy and tasty, falling off the bone. But, the piece was heavily laden with fat, so much so that it kind of ruined the experience. We got too full too soon, we’re kind of smothered in the mouth with the grease and lost our appetite. We forced ourselves to finish it because it cost a bomb and honestly did taste good with respect to the preparation. But we just couldn’t. We felt bad because it really dampened the spirits of the evening which had otherwise been great! It could’ve just been the fault of the unlucky lamb to render so much fat. But it would’ve been nicer if realised and switched around instead of serving it. But I’m still looking forward to go there another time and trying food off their menu and see...

Les Bienfêteurs est un bistro de coin de rue convivial et décontracté. Parfait pour un moment en famille ou un petit resto en duo sans prétentions. Malgré le passage important des voitures à cette intersection, l'endroit reste plutôt calme et agréable. Pour ma part, je suis arrivée à 14h un dimanche et j'ai été très bien accueillie. J'ai pris un classique du bistro parisien, la saucisse purée à 15 €, avec un verre de Côtes du Rhône à 5 €, puis un café gourmand à 9 €. Tous les plats semblent être faits maison.

La saucisse au couteau était savoureuse et bien équilibrée. Par contre, selon moi, la purée était trop lisse, mais la quantité était généreuse. La sauce qui accompagnait le plat était bonne, mais pour les gourmands comme moi, il en aurait fallu un peu plus. En ce qui concerne le vin, le premier prix de la carte, il était un peu trop lourd en bouche, mais correct. Le café gourmand était servi avec un ramequin de riz au lait, un financier avec son coulis aux fruits rouges et un brownie au chocolat avec une touche de chantilly à la vanille. Je n'ai rien à redire, c'était simple et gourmand.
