🇫🇷 Paris Baillotte | Delightful French Cuisine ‼️

This is the kind of place I’d bring every friend to. Yesterday, on New Year’s ❤️, I had dinner here with friends. The restaurant is called Baillotte, and I heard the chef is Japanese. For under €40 per person, the lunch set menu was a delightful surprise. - Œuf à la Truffe (Truffle Egg) : The texture is smooth and creamy, paired with the rich, earthy aroma of truffles. The cream and leek purée, with a mousse-like consistency, perfectly complements the bread served before the meal. 🥧 - Carpaccio de Saint-Jacques Bretonnes (Breton Scallops Carpaccio) : Thinly sliced scallops, served with Isigny cream, kiwi vinaigrette, and trout roe. It’s lightly sweet and full of delicate layers, showing a refined balance reminiscent of Japanese cuisine. 🦪 - Main Course Recommendation 🐟 : The Pêche du Jour (Catch of the Day) has a flavor profile that builds gradually, with a gentle sweetness and a lingering oceanic aftertaste. It feels like there are over a dozen seasonings perfectly showcased in one dish, each distinct yet harmoniously coexisting. 🍖 - Another Main Course : The Limousin Veal Shoulder is elevated by its side dishes. Every bite of the accompaniments feels like solving a puzzle, even making pears feel mysterious. Interesting indeed! 🍖 - Classic French Dessert Mont Blanc : The subtle chestnut flavor is combined with uniquely crafted Japanese yuzu and orange liqueur ice cream. The sweetness is just right, hitting the taste buds perfectly. 🍰 If I were to summarize this meal in two words, I’d say “interesting.” I left feeling very satisfied. 😌 PS: It’s best to make a reservation in advance. #AffordableFrenchCuisineInParis #FoodIn6thArrondissement #FrenchCuisine
