Some snapshots from dinner a few months ago at 6 Paul Bert, the second spot by Bertrand Auboyneau of the famed Bistrot Paul Bert, which is just a few doors down the road. Different from the traditional style of Bistrot Paul Bert, Le 6 offers modern plates that are more refreshing to the palate, and with a menu that changes daily, there is always a good reason to come back here.
Dinner at 6 Paul Bert can be 2 plates + 1 dessert (€38), 3 plates +1 dessert (€44), or a la carte. We decided on the 3 plates + 1 dessert formula but weren’t really sure what to order, so we just let the chef bring us whatever he liked most from the menu. It started with carpaccio de daurade Royale, oursins et radis fermentés, sea bream carpaccio with sea urchin and fermented radish.
Tartare de Maquereau, chou rouge, prunes salées et betteraves, mackerel tartar with red cabbage, salted plums and beetroot.
Cabillaud, beignet fleur de courgette et aioli, cod fish with deep-fried zucchini flower and aioli.
Couteaux d’Ecosse, feuille de brocolis et pesto de roquette, Scottish razor clam with brocoli leaves and rocket leaf pesto.
Polenta crémeuse, lièvre braisé et champignons séchés, creamy polenta with braised wild rabbit and dried mushrooms.
Ris de veau, topinambour et menthe, sweetbread with Jerusalem artichoke and mint.
Biscuit dacquoise, crème de châtaigne et glace potimarron, dacquoise biscuit with chestnut cream and pumpkin ice-cream.
Cannoli au citron de Sicile, sorbet fromage frais, Sicilian lemon cannoli with fresh cheese sorbet.
A very pleasant dinner. If I weren’t living all the way on the other side of Paris, I’d come back a lot more for the refreshing flavors and friendly service.
