Le 975

This place is a must-try in Paris. Highly, highly recommend their 23 euro lunch menu. What a steal!

Le 975 orchestrates an innovative French fair with an Asian umami twist. Perhaps reflecting the owner’s Japanese heritage.

The appetizer root vegetable soup with poached egg and foam is pure perfection. The veggie purée is a smooth creamy umami blend. And the egg… oh my, this is the most airy, fluid, and succulent poached egg I’ve ever had. Perfection, perfection, perfection! You should just come here for this appetizer.

The entree chicken supreme is also DELICIOUS! Juicy, tender-poached chicken breast bathed in a crustacean orange-coloured puree sauce, accompanied by colourful, boiled carrot cuts and baby romanesco, topped with baby endive leaves and crushed cashew nuts. Every bite is a delight. Mind you that this comment comes from someone is not a chicken supreme fan.

For third course, I chose the cheese, salad, and peach jam platter over the chocolate mousse dessert. It’s nothing remarkable, but I love that they offered so much varieties in this closing dish.

The interior is simplistic and modern, nothing dramatic, but they are seriously serious about food. Make sure to make a stop to this restaurant in your trip to Paris! A can’t miss.
