New bistro opens in Paris

A renovated bistro has opened in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, situated at the corner of Brochant and Nollet streets in the Batignolles neighborhood. The bistro is now owned by Jean-Baptiste Ascione, who previously operated a restaurant called Petit Gris, which has since closed.

Interior design and ambiance

The bistro features an elegant and timeless ambiance, with worn tiles, stripped antique furniture, and bookshelves creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The design choices emphasize a blend of comfort and historical charm.

Menu offerings

Ascione’s menu includes classic brasserie fare, served on plates with logos, ranging from salads and burgers to shared dishes. The menu aims to offer a variety of options that appeal to a broad audience, including both traditional and contemporary tastes.

Notable dishes

Among the appetizers is a veal head croquette, described as crunchy and soft, designed to appeal even to those hesitant about offal. Another highlighted dish is a lean fish fillet served on a bed of white butter with miso, showcasing a blend of traditional and modern flavors.

The bistro’s content is accessible through an application, with free access available or a subscription option at 1.99€ per month for one year, with no commitment required. This digital access allows customers to explore the bistro’s offerings and possibly place orders or learn more about the menu.
