TRENDY TABLES

CHASING RAINBOWS

Changing colors of light are the new 2005 thing in parisian restaurant decor. At the CURIEUX SPAGHETTI BAR, the back wall quietly morphs from lemon yellow to blue, green and red. Aside from tasty bruschetta with mortadella an capers or mozzarella and pesto to start, the menu is strickly spaghetti. The classic tomato sauce with meat balls is delicious, while a lighter option is served with grilled chicken strip and lemon-herb sauce. Close to the Centre Pompidou, this smoky spot is popular with a young, arty crowd.
