Restaurant La dédicace avec terrasse — Restaurant in Paris

This was my favorite stop in all of Paris. A wonderful restaurant off the beaten path, on a small side street with outdoor seating. It was nice to find a quiet place, but just steps from the bustle and brasseries along the Rue de la Montagne Ste Geneviève.

The menu card is posted on the outside wall for your view, with a good selection of courses. Everything looked so good, so we ordered a lot of things! The pate is made in house, and had amazing flavor and excellent texture. The eggs mayonnaise were seasoned just right, and were excellent. Finally, the burrata and tomato was just perfect. The balsamic glaze had just the right blend of sweetness and tang.

The entree of choice was the Pave de boeuf sur pierre chaude, fries and salad. The steak was perfectly prepared, and the stone on which it was served remained hot enough to further cook the meat, or just keep it warm to eat. It was a very generous cut, and the gravy and dip were excellent accompaniments. The salad was crisp, fresh, and flavorful.

Wine selection was easy... red or white, and the bottle was priced fairly for the quality. Tonight's bottle was 2012 Chateau Ramage La Batisse which complimented the meal perfectly. The apple tart afterwards was a fine finish!

The owner was also our waiter, and he was so friendly! The other tables were occupied by regulars, locals, and other tourists. This was the restaurant that made me wish I lived closer...

I found this restaurant online while planning our time in Paris. I made reservations seveal weeks early for our last dinner before my oldest daughter and her friend returned to the US. I was a bit skeptical when we arrived because the restaurant is much smaller that I expected. We speak no French and the owner and staff speak little English but we managed to communicate beautifully. We ordered several appetizers to share and each was delicious. The escargot was the best we had during our two week trip to France and much less expensive than the touristy areas. We had the tartar, hot rock steak and the duck. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. I love duck but seldom order it because I am incredibly picky. Thankfully one of the girls shared a bite. It was PERFECT! We were stuffed but had to sample four of the desserts. All were delicious and we cleaned our plates... again. I couldn't have selected a better restaurant for our last meal together in Paris. The hospitality and quality of food was the best we experienced in the two weeks we were in France. I hope the owner will see this review and know how much we enjoyed our time in his lovely restaurant. The hospitality and food were perfect. This will be my first stop on our next trip to Paris.
