After we’re done with touristy things, we tried to pick restaurants at areas where tourists have less attraction to go, hence giving us a reason to see different neighborhoods. We read about Natacha on Paris Miam Miam. It’s a renewel of a legendary Montparnasse eatery by a chef from the famous L’Ambroisie.
Located in a quiet street in Montpanases, they offer a 19 euro prix fix lunch for 2 courses.
Joan’s:
My 1st course: Seafood salad. There’s not much greens but I was glad to be able to eat some vegetables (not easy to come by in bistro). It’s fresh and light tasting.
2nd course: Filet of bar fish with white wine sauce. The setup looked a bit like a bento box. The fish is pretty good but I was more fascinated by the sides. The spinach pudding was yummy and goes well with the sauce and the fish.
Freda’s:
1st course: Salmon Terrain with mushroom sauce. The mushroom sauce was irresistable. Salmon terrain are light and fluffy.
Freda’s 2nd: Calf’s liver in Marchand de Vin Sauce. Surprisingly not heavy. The liver is thin and smooth, the sauce is buttery with a touch of wine flavor. My side egg pudding has mushroom.
Close up of the chandelier. I’d love to try their dinner someday.

The spinach pudding looks really interesting.
Strangely anything that comes in a pudding-cup shape automatically looks good. ^^;; Appetizers are big!!
btw, you gals share every dish? Swapping halfway?
The pudding-cup shape reminded me of those Japanese children menu set (they always have these cup shape rice/egg pudding), ahhh sweet childhood~
We ate a bit of each other’s dish, but never swap plate ^^;;
