Crudus
Organic, or bio, as they say in French, has become a big thing in Paris, and this simple restaurant off the Rue St.-Honoré focuses on organic Italian cuisine. Using the freshest possible market ingredients, the chef prepares daily specials that emphasize the purity of the product’s taste. Penne with eggplant and tomato, spinach gnocchi or tagliatelle with cèpes will delight organic purists as well as Italian food snobs, which is why this has become a watering hole for the super-fashionable despite its bare bones decor.

My husband and I live part-time in Paris and eat everywhere. Based on Indagare's recommendation we tried Crudus last night - it was quite terrible. It IS simple and spare and perhaps organic. However, the food is too salty, too lemony, too unbalanced. This is not a place I'd recommend! From, Linda Coleman
