Let's See What the Hype is About Macron's Favorite Restaurant
đ La Rotonde đ 105 Boulevard du Montparnasse, 75006 Paris âď¸ "No matter how you instruct the taxi driver from the Right Bank to Montparnasse, theyâll inevitably take you to La Rotonde." Hemingway, Picasso, Leninâthis cafĂŠ was a haunt for literary giants and artists. Rumor has it, itâs Macronâs favorite spotâhe celebrated his 2017 presidential win here. Itâs also a filming location for Jay Chouâs "Greatest Works of Art" MV. đ We arrived around 5:30 PM and lucked out with two walk-in seats. The interior is a time capsule of the Belle Ăpoque, but be warned: itâs packed (like, elbow-to-elbow packed) with localsâmostly white faces, so expect authentic "white people food." đ˝ď¸ 3-course meal for âŹ47 đ§ Starter: Classic French onion soup (skipped the snails). Toasted cheese crust? Gorgeous. Sweet, rich brothâdivine with bread. But onion-haters, steer clear. 𼊠Main: CĂ´te de veau "France" rĂ´tie (Macronâs fave!). French veal steak, bone-in, with sage butter jus. Mind-blowing. Perfectly seared, pink and juicy, with a subtle creamy sauce. Side of silky mashed potatoes? Chefâs kiss. đŽ Dessert: Crème brĂťlĂŠe. That "crack" when the spoon hits the caramel? Heaven. The custard beneath? Silk. đĄ Verdict: Worth itâwhether for the history, the food, or the gram. Service? Impeccable. Crowds? Unavoidable. #DinnerTonight #Paris #ParisEats #HiddenGems #FrenchCuisine #FoodieAdventure #JayChou
