We first visited this little jewel of a place in 2013, shortly after it had opened. We were recommended by Australian friends who told us of the owner and chef who combined a career in the French wine industry with a passion for menus that used seasonally available food. We visited twice in 2013 and twice again in 2015 – lunch and dinner each time to get a good grasp of the culinary style. There were some dishes that looked quite sophisticated to us, so we were glad that the charming hostess spoke perfect British-accented English – she is usually on duty towards the end of the week we were told. We were very happy with her wine recommendations – with the added benefit of an opinion from Monsieur le Chef who also has excellent English. This gave us confidence to explore a little beyond our comfort zone – none of that awkwardness when you are not quite sure what is being offered. The restaurant is also a cave (bottle shop in Australian terms – wine only though) with two walls of wines displayed with prices marked - so no surprises! A feature was that we were able to take home with us the balance of the white and red wines that were paired with our dishes, rather than restrict ourselves to the by-the-glass list. A lovely way to reflect on our visits the day after. This is an intimate little restaurant – maybe 25 to 30 plates – with a blackboard menu that is brought to the table for discussion which made asking questions a comfortable experience. Seating includes a refectory table that offers 8 – 10 places where, in a warmly cross-cultural experience, we shared a little in the politely convivial company of six other diners at a lunch last September. Over the two years and four visits that we have made, the quality of food and service at “the red apron” has continued to develop while the prices for our meals made for very good value for money at 18-19€ for lunch and 34-35€ for dinner. Highly recommended for those searching for a “real” Parisian restaurant, very much a ve
