La Bastide Odeon
An Upcoming Young Cook
Jorg Zipprick's Culinary Journal - Free Lance Correspondent to the Paris Pages Text copyright (c) May 1995 Jorg Zipprick - used with permission.
The French crisis of gastronomy has some advantages: Never before you've eaten
as good as today for less money. There's no young chef who dares to take more
than 180 FF for a Menu. One of these upcoming young restaurants is La Bastide
Odeon behind the Luxembourg-Gardens. Gilles Ajuelos, former "Second" at the two
star-restaurant Michel Rostang, opened the modest little restaurant in August
1994. About 172 FF is the price for a three-course Menu which allows to refresh
some holiday-souvenirs.
Ajuelos cooking is full of the sun-flavors of the south
of France. He refined some classics of Provence and gave his own creations with
some olive oil, garlic and Pistou a touch of south. A small bottle of "Huile
d'olive" is at the disposal of every guest. Taste it like they do in southern France
with a piece of Baguette, when waiting for his Anchoiade de saumon cru au
pommes ratte - it's simply excellent.
Some Gnocchi aux escargots and a lapin
farci aux aubergines are the starters, for main course you choose between
Brandade, served with Mesclun-salade, grilled chicken with lots of garlic and
calf's kideys with young beans. Real "Provencals" preserve a little place in
their stomach will for the Pieds et Paquets d'agneau", a tasty Roulade of lamb,
lamb's trotters and tripes, cooked with tomatoes and white wine. The difference
between Ajuelos and the other young Bistro-Chef is his clear Oui to Haute
Cuisine. When the small Bastide will be working well, he wants to establish a
great restaurant to reach for the Michelin-Stars. Bonne chance, Monsieur!
