This is our fourth visit to this restaurant, which should say something in itself!  Originally recommended to us by a good client & friend, I notice this is also cited in Michelin’s Paris guide.   Besides boasting a fantastic location – a quiet street, just blocks from Notre Dame Cathedral – Le Reminet offers excellent, friendly service, a charming bistro-style atmosphere, and consistently excellent food.  (We always notice regulars eating there, by the way.)
Typically, your meal will start with  a complimentary appetiser (eg. ours this night was a prawn bisque – lovely!)  Cathy had an appetizer of marinated salmon rolled with salad and avocado dressing along with crab in tomato.  Very yummy.  I had a jumble prawn (biggest mother I’ve seen in my life) with caviar & crème fraiche and diced, spiced pumpkin.  Also, very tasty.  For entrees we had scallops with black rice and wild mushrooms, with a scallop emulsion.  Seabass rolled with marinated eggplant and some sort of toasty bread-like base.  It was excellent as well.  Coffee was good.  I alone had dessert, which was a classic crème brulee.   Everything was first rate.
