Just off Les Champs-Elysées, on the avenue F Roosevelt, you find this pleasant restaurant with excellent food with a certain Provençal touch. It used to be called (simply) Spicy but have now (why?) changed name to Villa Spicy. Perhaps because of a total (successful) renovation – the atmosphere is now relaxed and cosy, service is friendly. They have a good-value lunch menu for 20 euro (two courses, e.g. with a superb pumpkin soup with chestnut crème, a very popular French autumn dish). Starters go for 9-14 euro, main courses are 14-28 euro. They also have a fixed price menu in the evening for 28 euro. A small (as often in French restaurants) selection of wines by the glass.
