Caluche is an all-day café and wine bar that serves contemporary bistro fare within the Latin Quarter. This little gem is run by a former proprietor and server from the Café de la Nouvelle Mairie. The latter is famend as a vacation spot for pure wine lovers, and that crowd can be proud of this new enterprise. They’ll be even happier with the meals – it’s phenomenally higher at Caluche. Past the anticipated small-plate nibbles (olives, dried sausage), I cherished their contemporary tackle a pissaladière with mackerel and shaved fennel. A dish of grilled lamb with lacquered eggplant and cherries was deeply satisfying. The vibe is informal – they’re not making an attempt to be something greater than a wonderful neighborhood place – and I’m thrilled to have extra spots like this in Paris.
