WHO
The Dersou team (minus Taku Sekine): Margaux Thirard, Amaury Guyot and Arthur Toure-Pirot, have opened Chinaski, a Left Bank joint named after Bukowski’s alter ego from his Dirty Old Man collection. And the chef? Talented bistro chef Jean-Adrien Buniazet (a former Dersou alumnus).
FOOD
- Extra fresh green asparagus with peas and ricotta
- Explosively flavorful raw mackerel served with sweet potatoes, blueberries and kohlrabi
- Pearly white pollack with radish and cauliflower in beurre blan
- Pork from the Tarn pimped out with purple chives, carrot purée, mushrooms and a cumin-infused jus
- Whiskey-kiwi tres leches cake (a nod to the great Charles)
- Thunderous poppy seed cake with lemon cream and slices of blood orange.
It’s worth noting that during the day, Chinaski stays open as a coffee shop and serves homemade pita sandwiches and sweets galore – cookies, chai French toast, chocolate and olive oil cake
DRINKS
There’s a beautiful selection of organic-leaning wines:
- a red Côtes-du-Roussillon, Le P’tit Barriot - €6 a glass
- a Minervois, Arbalète et Coquelicots - €35 a bottle
- a Chardonnay from Mâcon, Vin d’Montbled - €56 a bottle
DECOR
Very clean café-restaurant whose plates are brought out to the recycled wood tables from the big open kitchen.
SEATING
Recycled wood tables
VIBE
coming soon...
SERVICE
Kind and helpful.
WOULD RECOMMEND
To fans of Dersou and latte art.
