In mid October, my family and I found this lovely restaurant near Mont Martre. Run by a pretty young Lebanese/French woman named Alexandra, Tine is a relaxing bistro. For two adults and our daughters (7 & 11) we ordered 3, 19 Euro menus. They included both cold and hot items. Among the cold, the babaghanoush was slightly smoky in flavor and not overwhelmed by garlic or lemon. Lentils were simple but very pleasingly spiced and the tabouli was amazing, easily being the best I've ever eaten. When the hot courses arrived we were already becoming a little full, but the lamb phyllo pastries and some ground beef shaped into balls with something like falafel on the outside were enticing and great. Dessert included baclava, with just the right amount of honey (not swimming in it, but still very sweet) and a wonderful cream dish flavored with orange blossoms. Wow! Alexandra was a gracious and knowledgeable waitress and hostess and her English was impeccable. Highly recommended.
