Maison Revka — Restaurant in Paris

Dear Paris Society,

First of all I’d like to say that I love the restaurants of your chain and the situation that happened to me in your new restaurant Maison Revka was very disappointing. That’s the first time in my live I’m writing a review about restaurant.

I came for a brunch to a Maison Revka today(Septembre 2) at 14:30. After waiting for my order for 45 minutes without even being served a drink, I had to ask a waiter to change it, cause I was not aware of raw eggs in a dish ( I’m pregnant and can’t have it). Waiter refused to change saying that there’s no raw eggs ( it was a Sause Hollandaise which is obviously made from raw egg yolks) . Then I said that in this case I just refuse to eat it, because it doesn’t seem tasty to me. Waiter answered me “ à mon avis c’est pas classe de dire ça dans un restaurant”. I was honestly shocked. After I asked a mister to give me his name, first he refused then after me asking for a several times that his name is David. It was a surprise to hear later the conversation between two waiters where David said “ Elle ma demande mon prénom et j’ai dis que je m’appelle David »( laughing after) Finally I discovered from another of your colleagues that his name is Daniel. When bringing the bill at the end another waiter just throw it on the table.

I had a brunch worth 140€ , what is a pretty high rate as for Paris. I’d expect to be at least...

As soon as me and my grandma arrived we were coldly greeted by a woman with black hair in a pantsuit who did not believe we had a reservation and questioned our truthfulness very rudely. To her surprise, we had reservations booked weeks ago and were graciously seated by a hostess. The rest of the night she wouldn’t even look at us unless it was a dirty glare, seemingly upset that we were there based on our appearance. Mind you, we were both wearing jeans, but dressed nicely enough that no one else but her even batted an eye. I felt incredibly uncomfortable after her remarks and attitude towards us, especially as this was my last dinner on my birthday trip with my grandma. The male waiter was incredibly sweet and payed great attention to detail. The food was excellent, especially the butter! Bread is offered, as well as pickles which were delicious. Other than cigarette smoke blowing in my face as a sixteen year old, the atmosphere felt luxurious and the scenery was beautiful. I was offered a restaurant branded blanket when the waiter noticed I might be cold, which made me feel valued and cared about as a guest. The bill was much cheaper than I expected even with two desserts...

L'arôme du poulet farci mélangé au jus de truffe était juste et harmonieux. Le Coulibiac de saumon spécial de la Maison Russe était très attrayant mais pourrait être un peu fort et trop traditionnel pour ceux qui découvrent la cuisine russe. C'est un « pâté de saumon » classique. Les textures de saumon frais écrasé avec des œufs ajoutent un plus à sa saveur avec des champignons et de l'échalote. La pavlova au caramel et à la passion était une nouvelle façon de terminer le dîner. Les chanteurs acoustiques et live rendent la scène plus excitante, pour compléter l'expérience du dîner.

The aroma of the stuffed chicken blended in truffle juice was on point and harmonious. Maison Russe‘s special Salmon Coulibiac was very appealing but might be a bit strong and too traditional for the ones who are new to Russian cuisine. It is a classic “pâté of salmon.” The textures of fresh salmon mashed with eggs add more to its flavor with mushrooms and shallot. The caramel and passion pavlova was a fresh way to end the dinner. The acoustic and live singers make the scene more exciting, to complete the diner experience. What to Try: Salmon Coulibiac 42 Euro Where : 51 Quai des Grands...
