"I had seen this place and Jean Pierre on TV: "No Reservations" with Anthony Bourdain. I made a note of it. But we had our boat here on a Monday, and a lot of restaurants are closed. The hours aren't posted on Tripadvisor, and the website took forever to load: when it did, it seemed to say it wasn't open on monday. But it IS open in Monday. We went to Mono Prix and bought a huge couteau a pain (bread knife). It didn't fit in our pockets, so I laid it on our table when we sat down for lunch. Jean Pierre walked by, saw the knife, and asked, "What is this?" I replied, "Pour la Maison". I thought I knew him from his face, but he looks VERY French. He picked up the knife and said to my husband, "Votre femme est dangereuxe." (Your wife is dangerous). Our meal was the plats du jour: poisson (lobster claw, white fish, salmon, scallops) and tartare de boeuf that came on baby lettuces with a side of perfectly prepared potatos(and I'm not big on potatos). I can't say enough about each. Presentation, quality, preparation, ingredients-22€ each. They brought three amuses bouches, all interesting and wonderful. Pitcher of Irancy rouge for 17.50€ and it was better than many bottles we've had on this trip. Dessert: trio of ice creams with MANY flavors from which to choose, and I had warm cherries (there had to be 40 or more) with vanilla ice cream. The whole bill was 61€. We were stuffed. The waiters and hostess were very nice. I called Jean Pierre over to say I recognized him from No Reservations. He brought out Anthony Bourdain's book and the book from Bourdain's friend who was Jean Pierre's sous chef who does pop up restaurants somewhere in the States. He was so humble and charming. He lives for that restaurant, and it shows. We just lucked into it. As he said, "Le monde est petit". Oui."
