Hands down one of the most cheerful gastronomic restaurants in Paris, Les Tablettes Jean-Louis Nomicos highlights the talented chef's Mediterranean origins. Nomicos took over this former Joel Robuchon outpost several years ago and has been delighting the very difficult-too-please 16th arrondissement finicky Parisians ever since. The name comes from the fact that the menus are presented on iPads or "tablettes" in French. Signature dish is Black Truffle Macaroni with Foie Gras. His menu is full of dishes inspired from his Mediterranean roots, such as citrus caviar but made with the finest French gourmet ingredients like ris de veau (veal sweet meats) a French delicacy. And the chef himself is friendly, generous and gregarious, characteristics you feel in his dishes, the ambiance of his restaurant and the good nature of his staff. A rarity here as well is that this gastronomic restaurant is open 7 days a week.
