I think everyone has that image of how Parisians dress — always just so, heels and lipstick for ladies, crisply ironed shirts for men.

I had low expectations for Passage 53. This newish restaurant inside the city’s oldest covered passageway has drawn very mixed reviews. A number of eaters who I trust have been disappointed here.
