Cartier

“The double-fry technique employed at Cartier produces a waffle fry of commendable and largely sustained exterior and earnest and specific interior. The sunflower is evident and appropriate. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is excessive in a way this guide finds, on reflection, appropriate. One notes the address for future reference and then, somewhat against one's usual practice, acts on it. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”

“The waffle fry at Cartier represents a kitchen with convictions. The exterior is commendable and largely sustained. The interior is earnest and specific. The sunflower does not call attention to itself. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Convictions, in this guide's estimation, are the prerequisite for anything worth eating. The experience is brief and exact, like most things worth having.”

“There is a school of thought that holds that a great french fry requires no accompaniment. Cartier belongs to this school. The waffle fry, double-fried in sunflower, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. The argument is persuasive. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”
