Jadis is a wonderful Parisienne Bistro nicely tucked away on Rue de la Croix-Nivert. Chef Giullaume Delage is a friend, and ex-colleague of Alban at Gagnaire. He also worked with other French masters at Bras & Anton. Jadis is his first restaurant and he is definitely building a nice following. We had a booking for 8pm, stayed for 3.5 hours and watched his 40-cover being turned over 2-3 times, by patrons who obviously know him, know his food and like it. A table of 3 walked in at 1030pm, on a rainy Tuesday night, which says it all. We asked the Chef for a degustation menu and were delighted with the outcome.* veloute of zucchini with tarragon infused creme fraiche
* thinly sliced poached chicken breast on a salsa of chopped beet roots & raspberry
* grilled octopus on ratatouille
* langustine on eggplant with barley cooked in crustacean bisque
* sirloin of beef in fine black pepper sauce & trellis potato chips
* vanilla flavored rice pudding with strawberry colis & Madeliene
* fresh fig dripped with honey & ice cream
* sandwich of cassis puree, creame patisserie & wild berries
It was just delighful, very Bistro-French, simple but memorable food presented in an extremely friendly venue. Le Chef is immaculate, runs a small kitchen of 3 plus 2 floor staff, but not a drop of sauce or sweat on him. Look at the picture .... now that is what a Chef should be like, and not a posseur like me. Merci beaucoup Chef!
