Le Marais Express II

Another evening, another visit to Le Marais Express...

Much simpler than last evening, I had the chicken paillard which was, in the inimitable words of Coffee Talk, "like butta"; it was subtly flavored, as was the accompanying avocado relish. The frites and salad were as before, though the vinaigrette seemed to have a stronger hint of tarragon, which I liked.

The wine was a 2003 BH Merlot - very nice. And, the wine list miraculously expanded over night!

I was finished, but the many other guests - those there and those expected - seemed to be having a fine time. It's astonishing that the word has gotten out so quickly without any formal advertising; certainly this review isn't responsible for the mad rush.

The evening manager - Eve - told me that she's trying to use local merchants as much as possible to provide comestibles not fabricated on site - bravo!; they're working on the baguettes...

Bon appetit!
