An Amazing Restaurant by the Seine with Set Menus Under €40?!
A while ago, a friend recommended this riverside spot, raving about its beautiful setting, great vibe, and fantastic food. I was so tempted that I immediately rounded up some friends to check it out! The restaurant sits right along the river, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor area has a forest-camp vibe with cozy decor and even a small open-air pool. If you choose to dine outside, you’ll be seated in adorable little ski lift gondolas—so cute! Inside, the space feels like a rustic wooden cabin, giving off major ski-lodge energy. But what really shocked me was the price—€39.99 for a full French set menu, which is an incredible deal for Paris! And the food? Delicious. 😋 Ceviche de daurade royale (Starter) The sea bream is lightly cured with yuzu and fresh fruits—sweet, bright, and slightly tangy, like a refreshing ocean breeze. A touch of wasabi sesame adds a subtle kick, while the creamy avocado and honey mustard finish it off perfectly. A vibrant, palate-awakening starter! Paleron de bœuf confit (Main Course) The beef shoulder is slow-cooked until it practically melts in your mouth, rich and deeply flavorful. The sweet, velvety carrot purée contrasts beautifully with the grainy texture of mustard. Served with tender carrots, caramelized pearl onions, and mushrooms, all swimming in a luscious red wine sauce—every bite is pure comfort. And that glorious sauce with bread? Heaven. Secreto de porc ibérique (Friend’s À La Carte Main) The Iberian pork is charred to perfection, juicy and smoky, with a thin glaze of soy sauce and capers that adds a salty, tangy depth. Each bite is a mix of crisp char, savory richness, and tender succulence. Paired with smoky-sweet grilled veggies, it’s indulgent yet balanced—with a wok-hey kick that reminds me of stir-fried pork with peppers! Dessert: Les clémentines I expected something fancy, but it was literally… a whole orange 🍊! But hey, it was sweet and refreshing—the perfect palate cleanser after all that meaty goodness. They also serve cheese fondue for €39.99, which would totally amp up the ski-lodge vibes! Fondue lovers, this one’s for you.
