This review is for the restaurant, not the cultural center next to it with the same name…read more La Milonga is a hidden gem worth the trek out to Fontenay-sous-bois.The food is seasonal and the chef often uses organic ingredients, though it's not marked on the menu. I would consider the cuisine "world-fusion" but thankfully, it avoids the usual gaffes that the category connotes. My personal favorites are the mezze assortment (homemade tarama, dill-shot tzaziki, crispy zucchini pancakes, ratatouille to name a few) and for the main dish, the Eli lamb with yogurt, garlic and eggplant. Everything is perfectly seasoned and has real soul. For the deco, I love their rotating exhibition on the walls (last time it was sketches of women and another time photos of shadowy trees), the mismatched chairs, and the menu pasted in old books. The prices are very reasonable and the great ambiance along with the amazing food makes me go back despite the out-of-the-way location.

But have you ever dined out in a bathtub or bed?…read more At first it seems like a cute vegetarian cafe/brasserie along the canal- unassuming and fairly standard. Vegetarian dishes are the highlight here, meat and eggs can be added for extra. Then you walk upstairs and see the uniquely decorated "home" that puts a new spin on "eating in". We came for the weekend brunch 12-3pm. All orders placed at the counter consisted of a couple croissants, a light entree, a dessert, and all you can have coffee, juice, baguette, butter, and jam for 24€. We were given the pastries, and a buzzer to collect our entree and dessert when they were ready from the basement kitchen. So you'll definitely need to be with people who can walk up and down stairs while holding plates- and maybe more than one plate if someone needs to hold a spot at tables. It is pricier than other brunches nearby, but it is also a novelty and part of what you're paying for is the unlimited nature of the buffet and time you will occupy the adorably decorated but limited space.

The reduced juice also added some good flavor. My only small thing to note was that it was slightly on the tough side at certain point. The potatoes on the side were delicious, and about as good as potatoes could be- creamy with a nice flavor. I think the price was a little bit high for the portion size, but not too bad. The restaurant itself is medium sized with a very pleasant and bright environment. There is simple yet elegant decor and the ambiance could be suitable for both a casual and more formal setting. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The service speed is fast. Overall, I would highly recommend Restaurant Georgette for honestly most types of occasions if you are looking for some good French cuisine.

Some highlights: The amuse bouche course was incredible end-to-end, but what really stood out for me was a blue masa shell holding mussel, sauce, and microgreens/herbs/flowers. The mix of the different herbs, the savory salinity of the mussel, and the sauces was wonderfully complex, yet also harmonious. The poached sea trout with pumpkin and horseradish ice cream was very satisfying. The mix of poached trout and horseradish cream was very familiar, yet the twist of making the horseradish a wholly different temperature and texture was really surprising and innovative. The monkfish in adobo was another extraordinary dish. I have only had monkfish liver before, but the way they were able to perfectly cook the monkfish gave it a texture and flavor reminiscent of lobster. With the spice of the adobo, it was a really well balanced dish. Additionally, all of the wines that we tried were also notable and delicious. Frenchie has definitely earned its Michelin star, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has another by the next time I come back.

Tucked away in an alley, I almost walked right past Frenchie. I had read about Frenchie in Food &…read moreWine magazine, and I finally had the opportunity to visit on my trip to Paris when I met up with a few friends for a pre-dinner glass of wine. The three of us were able to get a table around 7 PM (we didn't make a reservation). The ambiance is sophisticated yet laid back, and we were surrounded by a mix of locals and tourists. We decided to each order a glass of sparkling wine and a few small plates to share. The wine list was long while the food menu was quite short, but everything we ordered was delicious. Each dish provided a twist on classic appetizers - the gnocchi was served with an inventive "white cheddar foam," and the maple bacon biscuits struck the perfect balance of sweet and salty. We ended up lingering over our wine and enjoying the cozy ambiance longer than expected - a perfect way to spend a summer evening in Paris.

Intimate restaurant with blue banquettes & clean lines; we chuckled at the banana leaf design above the paneled walls that matched Blanche's bedroom wallpaper in "The Golden Girls." I didn't try my dining companion's Scotch Quail Eggs (18 € for three eggs, halved) but I did taste their Fish & Chips (26 €) which was pleasantly mild & came with a tangy tartare sauce. My Onion & Stilton Tart (24 €) was incredibly savory & delicious. Texturally interesting with the creamy bleu cheese & cooked-down onions to offset the flakey tart & frisée salad atop. Perfect restaurant for when you want to deviate from classic Parisian fare but still want a sophisticated meal. Charming, lovely server, as well.

You have the choice of a four course or six course menu and you can opt for wine pairings or order by the glass. We were part of the second seating and we decided on the smaller menu and ordered a bottle of wine. Each dish that we had was very balanced with lovely, seasonal flavors. My biggest complaint of the evening was the timing. Dinner took over three hours. There was often 45 minutes in between each course. I am all for a long dinner, but I think it is important that the restaurant acknowledges the pace the diners want. The entire restaurant seems to be on the same schedule with every dish, even people who arrived over 45 minutes after us we're getting the first course when we were. I really didn't joy the food but I would think twice about rushing back due to the timing.

Hidden in an angle street of rue de la roquette, this place has a dozen wooden tables and benches. It is fully decorated by its wine bottles so you know what you step into. The owners are extremely friendly and passionate about the wines they serve, which they know perfectly. They go mostly for organic wines and have a preference for Languedoc reds which they find have a better quality/price ratio. There are a few wines from the other regions as well. In total, you'll find probably 50-80 wines on the menu, all deliberately chosen by the owner who will be happy to talk about them. This place is a mix between a wine shop and a restaurant: you can buy the bottles to go or drink it in the restaurant for an additional premium (6 or 8 euros, can't remember). The food is simple but good: charcuterie or cheese plates to share, some grilled meat or fish. Try the calamari and the burrata as appetizers, they're pretty good. All in all, you spend a great time in this place: you discover new wines and you eat some good food. This is a great place to bring a group of friends!
