I found Quartier Libre on the second working day of the new year, when lots of others were shut. But I’m so glad I did! The establishment consists of a very simple set of wooden tables and chairs … and pencils and some little slips of paper. You have to write your own order! The menu consists of 16 items divided into 4 rather arbitrary categories, and there is no compulsion to order from each and every one. A normal sized lunch consists of 4 dishes.
If it sounds like tapas, then you’ve got the idea. But the cuisine is largely inspired by northern European traditions. I had a carrot soup, a half of avocado, a sort of scampi cocktail and some pomme dauphinoise. It all tasted great and my dining partner reported the same for theirs.
