Chez Gladines

Chez Gladines

l'Original

This setting in Butte aux Cailles is the original restaurant

serving Basque cuisine.  If you are looking for elegant dining

pass on by, but if you want to experience a local eatery

and all the salad you can manage for about 10€ 

and served in a stainless steel mixing bowl, come on in.

(I have also eaten twice at Chez Gladines on Blvd Saint-Germain -

same menu but different atmosphere)

Chez Gladines

This charming bistrot serves reasonably-priced Basque cuisine. 

I first "discovered" Chez Gladines, the original restaurant, 

on rue des Cinq Diamants in the 13ème.  The food is simple, but delicious. 

Be sure to select a dessert while I whisper in your ear....

(crème caramel -or- mi-cuit au chocolat et Piment d'Espelette ).

 

This lively scene is on Boulevard Saint Germain and 

the warm September evening filled all the tables,

 inside and on the terrace.

On rue de la Butte aux Cailles, the chefs and cooks from

various restaurants gather outside to chat,

have a smoke, and get ready for the busy lunch crowd. 

I have seen this same chef on three trips

and will be taking a photo to him in a few weeks. 

I wonder what he will be serving that day...

Chez Gladines

Chez Gladines is one of my favorite new finds.  I was there with Holly in January, and then took Peter and my husband in March.  It is in Butte aux Cailles and always full of people and spilling out into the street.  This shot is taken from the back room and very moody.  The "No CB" is "no carte bancaire" and means that they do not take credit cards.  The food is cheap and good, evidenced by the crowds.
