DU CÔTÉ DE CHEZ XANE
We are not really on the side of Chez Swann, since this passage (careful, it is not a traboule) open between Quai Saint-Antoine and Rue Mercière takes us to Thailand. A totally unexpected setting for an exotic restaurant in many ways. First, because among a series of bouchons and other custom-tailored restaurants for the many tourists who pace up and down the neighbourhood, this one takes us where we do not expect to be, in Thailand. Secondly, because the restaurant occupies a more than discrete passage, more visible by the Saône-side wharf than by Rue Mercière, and that it is settled on both sides of the passage! Two dining rooms facing each other to taste a good-quality Thai cuisine, made by a traditional chef. For the reception and the service, Futé continues to claim that they are irregular and you can be received with a smile, just as you may feel really unwanted. Futé tried to eat there this year, but a person told us that the service wouldn't start before 1pm! Don't get hungry too early… and resume work at 2pm. Another weak point in the house, the desserts that are not a specialty of the destination. Original address rooted in the local landscape, but too "uncertain" to be recommended.

Seuls bémols : très peu de choix et un service très très long.
Je recommande les rouleaux Thaï en entrée et le bœuf sauté en plat, un régal !
Nous avons voulu tenter ce restaurant qui présentait peu de plats mais semblaient qualitatifs. Il était 20h45 et le restaurant était quasiment vide: nous sommes à peine rentrés dans le restaurant, accompagnés de nos 2 enfants, que la serveuse s’est empressée de nous dire que le restaurant ne fonctionne que sur réservation. Nous appelons 10mn plus tard pour demander s’il y avait de la place et cette même serveuse nous dit qu’il y a en a pour 4 personnes.
Que doit-on en penser ? Peut-être que la présence d’enfants n’était pas tolérée. Dommage, l’endroit semblait sympa et le menu intéressant.
