L' Atelier Maison De La Truffe au Gourmet Lafayette — Restaurant in Paris

We both had the scrambled eggs with truffle... I believe it was €27 per dish. Just eggs and truffle... wouldn't have minded a bit of that arugula salad as a side that we saw come out with other dishes. Would have made for a nice balance. The service was good, the staff was sweet. They offered to put our bottle of Rosé (fair price) back into the fridge which would have been more thoughtful if I didn't have to remind them to bring it back out after our glasses had been empty for a while. What we observed was: eggs came from a carton (tasted good though), truffle didn't seem fresh (not crunchy at all) but tasted fine, pasta we saw coming out was fresh in a drawer, pizza was also from a drawer but wrapped in plastic and then put in their little oven (didn't taste it though, maybe it was great). They do put a generous amount of truffle on everything. If it really was fresh and great truffle the prices would have to be much higher. So I think the prices are fair even though overpriced but that's also due to location. Maybe if they can't produce a great fresh pizza they shouldn't offer one, but at the same time the place is about truffle and not about great pizza... that makes you wonder why the truffle isn't...

Inside le gourmet, we stopped by DE LA Truffe to reward ourselves after20k steps😂 Ordered the Barratta tomatoe pesto salad, fettuccine cream truffle, risotto a la truffle and of course a bottle of vino. The salad was fresh but could use a bit more balsamic vinger, The risotto was rich and creamy, while the fettuccine was just as creammyyy. The red wine hit the spot🍷🍷🍷Great meal. Staff was very nice and social. I say...

Always a very consistent experience and just as I remember it to be year after year.

Only thing is when we went for late lunch this time the other guy who stirs the risotto with passion was not there and it was someone else cooking it. The risotto was still good but not as creamy as it could be.

During peak lunch hour it can very very very busy. We went during off hrs after 2pm and it was wide...
