Bistro-restaurant in Paris preparing an amazing cuisine, a red mullet, a foie gras and spinach very pleasant.

Located just next to the Cirque d'Hiver, this bistro, classified as a Historic Monument, was in the 18th century the haven of circus artists. The decor is really worth a look: full of colour, it lovingly recalls the best memories of our childhood. Mosaics, frescos, orange and yellow tiles, sad clown or grotesque clown displaying their faces on the painted ceiling fixed under glass, the place is unique in Paris. Sven Chartier and Ewen Lemoigne from Saturn Restaurant have taken up this neighbourhood legend. You can taste excellent wines before tasting an astonishingly varied cuisine: breaded bulbs, yes, they do exist and they are good. Red mullet, foie gras and spinach are just as curious but very pleasant in fine.

The coffee is good and the place is really cute/parisian, that’s why I give 2 stars. But the man who serves whom I presume is the owner, is a nightmare. He’s the typical angry-all-the-time, scary, Parisian stereotype. So it can really ruin your mood for a bit if you run into him and do something that he doesn’t like. He has 0 patience even tho he literally works in hospitality and that’s literally the most important part of running a coffee shop.

Wandering around Paris in need of a lunch we walked past Le Clown Bar and threw ourselves down on a seat. With no expectations the menu came at us, intimidating to someone who was after a classic French bite to eat but intriguing, clever and the sign of someone who knew what they were doing.

A charming unpretentious interior awaits you with all the cutlery you need in a drawer at your table. After a small discussion about wine we ordered the recommendation.

The appetisers were incredible sized. You could have them for a starter if there was something you preferred. We opted for the beef tartar and the crab beignet. Both were wonderfully presented and tasted amazing.

I went for the veal sweetbreads, accompanied with a smoked eel purée, bitter leaves and purslane. They were definitely the best sweetbreads I’ve had and will be thinking about them for a while. Light, delicate and wonderfully prepared. A joy to eat from start to finish.

We finished with a dessert wine and a coffee. Too full to go for the selection of desserts they had on offer.
