First I have to say that the attitude of the staff and the overall service in "Le 144" is one of the best in Paris. Very friendly staff (unusual for French restaurants) and very well arranged tables with plenty of space (another unusual thing in the French capital). The food is inventive with a very good combination of flavours and some small mistakes. I went there with my wife a Saturday evening and we had the “dinner menu” of 45 Euro. The vodka-citron is a very amusing aperitif and I recommend it strongly. The “risotto aux crabes” is a very original, and powerful starter and for my taste the best dish of the dinner. The “Assiette des Trois Coupes du Tsar” reveals three salmons of very good quality but unfortunately the “artichauts au curcuma” that accompanied it was a disappointment. I had the “ Filet de poisson surprise de la semaine”; the week's surprise was tuna fish. Well cooked, accompanied by a good pumpkin mash a bit sweet for my taste. My wife had the “Crevettes à la vapeur de citronnelle” which was full of flavours and very tasty. The “Coulant au chocolat” was very good but the “Teaser de Trois” was even better. I'll definitely go back to try the “Noir et blanc” menu. I believe that with a small effort chef Rougui Dia can earn a Michelin star.
