La Binocle : a nice table at a low price

A “bistronomic” table Saint-Georges district! In a neighborhood more famous for its shops than its tables, the binocle is a bit of an exception!

Here, what shines is in the plate and it is not displeasing to us. Formed by the great Parisian masters of the bistronomy that are Christian Etchebest and Yves Camdeborde, the two associates of the Binocle serve simple dishes, generous and tastes far more subtle than they seem. At the piano, Chef Chika, 32, Japanese settled in France for 6 years. In the dining room, Fabien, a young 27-year-old Béarnais who also wanted to join Toulouse to find the good terroir of the South West. But by the way, why La Binocle? Fabien answers: “We were looking for a simple word and” that sounds nice “, not pretentious, and not necessarily related to gastronomy. And since we are both bikers … That’s it! ” On the menu, it is all the talent of Chika that expresses itself. Regularly changing his menu, he only cooks fresh produce and sells it among local producers. And if he is Japanese, he is a fundamentalist of French cuisine and it is only by keys that the Japanese influence is invited to the stove of the artist.

At lunch, selection of starters and desserts in small portions at 2 € (knives, carpaccio of octopus, perfect egg prawns, terrines, tuna tartare etc …) and dishes of the moment from 14 to 16 € (small red mullet in tempura and eggplant cream, pork spider and coconut beans etc)

In the evening, surprise menu at 33 € (composed of 5 appetizers to share, fish, meat, cheese and dessert) or selection à la carte. The wine list is essentially composed of natural, organic or biodynamic wines: about 50 references from € 19, pitcher from € 9 1/2 liter and wines by the glass from € 3.5 to € 7.

At the Binocle, we spend a good time in a friendly spirit and without breaking the bank. But that does not prevent an excellent and very worked kitchen!
