http://www.8motions.com/map/placesRss/41 The Butte-aux-Cailles (translation: Quail Hill) is a quiet little neighborhood in the 13th arrondissement that's often compared to a village in Spain, and rightly so. With its red-tiled roofs and stucco two-storied houses, it has the feel of a hamlet that somehow ended up incorporated into Paris. http://www.8motions.com/place/show/556 <img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/external/5003/2007/08/13/original_f40ae2bfd5b281cc8d4951064aa7716c.jpg" class="Thumbnail" border="0" alt="Eat Your Way Through the Butte-aux-Cailles" /><br /><br />Aug 20th, 2007 @ 9am<br /><img src="http://gridskipper.com/assets/resources/2007/08/Avant%20Gout%20Paris.jpg" /><p><br /><br /><br /><br />After doing time with Michel Guérard and Guy Savoy, Chef Christophe Beaufront opened L'Avant Goût in 1997, thus inaugurating one of the only restaurants Parisians can agree on as <em>trop bon</em>. Beaufront oversees an operation which Le Fooding calls a "gastronomic mini-Nirvana" and which is very affordable given the quality (about €60 for two). Open Tuesday to Friday. If you can't get in, the Avant Goût wine shop and <em>épicerie</em> across the street sells some dishes to go.</p> Mon, 20 Aug 2007 16:50:44 +0200
