Pinxo
$$-$$$, Modern French, Louvre/Tuileries
Fodor's Review:
Modern French
Pinxo. The word pinxo means "to pinch" in Basque, and this is how the food in this fashionable hotel restaurant is meant to be eaten -- often with your fingers, and off your dining companion's plate. (Each dish is served in three portions for sharing.) Alain Dutournier, who also runs the more formal Le Carré des Feuillants and Le Trou Gascon, drew on his southwestern roots to create this welcoming modern spot. Freed from the tyranny of the entrée-plat-dessert cycle, you can nibble your way through such minidishes as marinated herring with Granny Smith apple and horseradish, and squid cooked à la plancha (on a griddle) with ginger and chili peppers. Some dishes work better than others, but it's hard not to love a place that serves deep-fried Camembert as a cheese course.
