Reading the small menu at 3 Minutes sur Mer brings back memories of last summer in France.
Escargot with herb butter, foie gras with apple and brioche, a southern bouillabaisse — the classics sit side by side without pomp. Beside them, vegetarian daily specials, tartare, mussels, crème brûlée, honest wines. The bistro stays small, the room unhurried, the lightness of the service unmistakably French. In summer the terrace opens onto Torstraße, sit outside as you would in Paris. Tied by family to a slightly more upscale sister bistro a few doors down, 3 Minutes sur Mer stays the more grounded one. A piece of France in Mitte.
