An amazing example of classic French cuisine at its finest!
I attended with colleagues (four of us) for a business meeting. It turned out to be an amazing choice.
Despite being British, I made an effort to email the restaurant and book/order in French. I strongly recommend you try to learn a little French to be respectful to the team here who will certainly appreciate the effort. Whenever your linguistic skills falter, their English is also very good.
This restaurant perfectly combines being slightly rustic with outstanding classic French cooking. Their dishes are homemade and cooked to perfection. All of our party were extremely impressed.
The wines were brilliant. Note, you will not be able to simply buy a house wine, you will need to choose from the wine list. Do not look for any of the boring mass-market wine brands, you will not find them. Instead you will find a rich selection of fascinating wines from all over France. I can only comment on the two bottles we had; they were impeccable.
The food itself was marvellous. The chef clearly pays very close attention to detail. We ordered partridge which was outstandingly well done - it is always a good sign when an expert can make something look so easy when, in reality, to cook game well with the right flavour and avoiding it becoming dry can be a real challenge. The chef here has mastered that challenge.
If you would like to experience classic French cooking and hospitality at a very reasonable price, this restaurant is highly recommended and I am very happy to...
Read moreA wonderful, elegant restaurant serving up modern french cuisine with a focus on local ingredients and a decadent wine list.
The service is friendly and relaxed! I especially likes that they put in the effort to assign an English speaking host to me so I understood what I was eating.
The atmosphere is vibrant and upbeat in an elegant setting. The seats are comfortably spaces and great for a date or even a night out with some friends and family.
The food is simple and extremely well made. They focus on traditional ingredients like pork shoulder and pigs trotters etc. The food is expertly made and leans towards classic dishes done in a modern way. I had the 5 course menu and the portion sizes were rather large for me. Suffice to say, the food hits the spot.
The wine list is extensive and well stocked. The staff is well equipped to offer you the right bottle. The prices are also reasonable.
Overall, it's a great little spot in Paris for some french...
Read moreWe asked the staff to provide the menu and wine choice for us, we where not disappointed. Delicate vegetable soup with fish egg and cream starter, the texture provided by delicate croutons. Potatoes and pork with duck liver. followed by a fish course with bacon egg and morelle mushrooms. Then duck with asparagus black currant. Desert was a light fruit salad and dougnuts with chocolate and sorbet.
Waiting staff chioce of a white and red wine to compliment as chef directs.
The experience was virtually perfect with only a tiny issue with the dougnuts not tasing as if being cooked in fresh oil.
Dinners with a refined pallet will appreciate the skills of the chef, the staff friendly and attentive are to be commended as well, overall the experience was worth the 5...
