Bistrot La Grange — Restaurant in Paris

Delicious. My partner and I shared the lunch special and it was just enough for us for lunch. Ambiance is nice, wifi great and easy, the place is clean and lovely and the perfect temperature, even on a cold rainy day.

First, the puff pastry with the goat cheese, so good. It comes with a light salad that pairs perfectly. I'd love a smidgen more of the light vinaigrette, but otherwise wonderful.

We got the chicken ballotine, which came with green mashed potatoes, likely from peas. Simple flavors coming together nicely. The potatoes could have a deeper flavor with more salt and peprika. However, the chicken with the white sauce and the potatoes was an oddly surprisingly addicting meal. You get a very good amount of potato, which helps fill you from having a little less chicken.

Lastly the chocolate mousse, truly divine. Balanced flavor, deep chocolate without it being bitter, and perfectly fluffy texture. Also those spoons are awesome!

Overall, we really enjoyed our meal here and...

Fresh and tasty ingredients, cooked to perfect texture, and the flavors were beautifully balanced. My wife had Croque Madame, and I had Salmon pasta in pureed dill sauce. My usually eat-like-a-bird wife devoured her sandwich and ate 1/3 of my meal. Now, that's a testament to how good the food is.

We enjoyed food at this bistro more than at Le Bernardin in NYC, which is like 4X the price! No heavy sauces here. No over-decorating here. Just simply enjoyable food, and friendly waitstaff.

Also, the Escargot were delightful, much lighter versus the heavy-handed approach most NYC French places take. No overbearing amount of oil and garlic here. Again, the flavors are beautifully balanced at this...

We were warmly welcomed and truly enjoyed our meal. We ordered the ribeye steak, couscous with merguez, and the lamb shank — everything was absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. The service from our waitress was excellent, attentive, and friendly. Dessert and wine were also outstanding.

We were seated in the back room, which was a bit too warm as it was completely full. The portions of couscous and semolina could have been slightly more generous, but the quality was perfect.

Overall, a wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back Kids friendly Spent 29 euro per person (adult wine...
