Pristine

This bistro is perfectly in step with the times, offering a short-supply-chain approach and a menu that changes daily. The interest you may feel in the decor is inversely proportional to the admiration you’ll have for the plates that arrive at the table. You’ll be left speechless in front of the mushroom tart with tonka bean mousse and toasted hazelnuts. Pure joy appears the moment the black pudding arrives, served with stewed apples, Calvados sauce, and fries—generously. The two partners behind this delightful surprise have even unearthed remarkable wines at almost unheard-of prices.
