The restaurant Pre Verre
Restaurant July 14th, 2008
Marc and Philippe Delacourcelle have organized an evening anniversary Monday, March 3 to celebrate the event. Five years of a sparkling adventure and spicy ...
The evening, the atmosphere and photos! It was joyous, colorful, friendly, in the air with this particular spirit imbued with simplicity that unites the Pre Verre its guests.
In the heart of Latin, opening this table was undoubtedly one of the events of 2003 in the borough, and even in the capital. I remember my first visit here, two or three days later we were hardly a dozen customers already aware of the novelty. Of course, in these conditions, I was fortunate, couchette same, which is neverunpleasant, but I could not help being disappointed for the team to see this beautiful room desperately empty. For the "slap" that I made that evening remained in my memory. All photos of the restaurant
A few weeks later, in passing in the area, I made a small detour through the streets The nard: I was reassured it was full to overflowing, people who tried to enter without having reserved penauds emerged. Word of mouth had worked a few articles and deserved praise had made the rest. For more than three years now, the success shows no sign of abating. Unable to arrive at a moment's notice. Besides, I want to emphasize, all establishments in this book, the "pre Glass" is undoubtedly the one that attracts more young people, even very young (even if the retirees also attend the district) .

So what are the reasons for this triumph?
First, a framework of "neo-bistro" in red and black, fairly clean but very successful. Can not see the huge clock baroque, many slates and covers 33 laps of jazz that line the walls. Then a relaxed atmosphere, rough (or noisy) where mingle in a formidable mixing animated conversations with a diverse clientele of all ages, all nationalities, all backgrounds. With a background, an excellent music jazz or blues.

Young and enthusiastic, the team room, led by Marc, the brother of the head, comments with verve cuisine prepared by the talented Philippe Delacourcelle. It was one of the first heads French (or first) dare to incorporate spices and aromatics in the eastern French cuisine. It was at that time the "Clos morillon, gourmet cuisine opened in the 15th arrondissement in 1984 upon his return from Asia, where he had gone for several years after being formed in the late Bernard Loiseau. Now therefore installed near the Pantheon, he continues to develop plates leaving the beaten track, hitting and sharp, always exciting. His cuisine is surprising height of harmonious marriage of flavors, with a use of spices always clearly seen, never "gadget". Obviously all of its dishes show a remarkable know-how: compliance market products, precision cooking, accuracy seasonings subtle mix of spices. Everything here is original, daring, delicious, simply excellent.
And the wines in all this?
The selection presented on slate, developed by Marc Delacourcelle, is well worth a detour: with one bureau ( "for foreign"), it is very sharp, with nice finds, particularly among smallholders South, with a wide choice of wines by the glass, the meter or the pitcher, all commented with passion.

In conclusion this institution can undoubtedly be considered one of the best "quality pleasure + / price" of the capital.
The menu card is unbeatable. And do not believe they "rattrap pent" on wines: tariffs are the same barrel, dare I say.
Note also the formula for lunch worthy of a philanthropic (one tip: do not hesitate to add a dessert).
