I hate to repeat myself. Having already reviewed
Les Déserteurs a year ago, you may wonder why I bother to post about
Daniel Baratier et Alexandre Céret's Les Deserteurs, a restaurant in the 11th that they created after 'deserting' Le Sergent Recruteur (get it? from recruiter to deserter). There's a simple answer to that question - it's really good.
After another terrific dinner with Co. a couple Friday evenings ago, I felt compelled to share some images of our six-course meal (60€). So without further adieu, here they are. Bear in mind, this is another one of those venues where nothing is listed on the carte and everything - since we are four years old - is a surprise. So my limited descriptions are based solely on my wine-muddled memory. As always, the menu changes regularly depending on the market, so it's not like you can go in and say, 'I'd like that pintade dish that Mortstiff had a couple weeks ago.' The upside is, chances are you'll get something even better.

I hope the photos speak for themselves (click on them and they will look even tastier). Les Deserteurs is a highly recommended experience, from the fresh, creative, and precise dishes to
Alexandre Céret's expressive and iinformative explanations. A bit pricier than some of the venues reviewed here (you can order a more limited 45€
menu for dinner, and lunch is a more economic option with
28 € and 35 € menus that include a glass of wine and cafe), but well worth it.
