Our favorite spot in Paris so far!
This intimate restaurant is packed with charm, good food, wine, and yes, people. Not another foreigner to be found, definitely worth getting away from the tourist traps on the Champs Elysées. A lively and lovely atmosphere all around, and we adored every minute of it.
Incredible price for the quality, perfect quantity for our group, and by far the friendliest and most personable service we've found in this country so far. Our server's English was good, and he did a wonderful job addressing our varying French levels.
We ordered housemade foie gras (5/5, the best our table has ever had), terrine (4/5), cappuccino (5/5, actually a rich chestnut soup with white truffle foam), ravioles (5/5, best pasta dish I've had in ages), linguine with shrimp (4/5, good but a little plain), cheesecake with salted caramel (4.5/5), croustillant (4.5/5), and Mont Blanc (4.5/5). Overall we felt that the savory courses were stronger than the sweets, but they are still worth checking out.
The wine list was solid, we ended up splitting a bottle of Pouilly-Fuissé that complemented each stage of the meal surprisingly well. Our wonderful server even gave us free chartreuse as a digestif!
So glad I booked this on La Fourchette (French version of Yelp, highly recommended), because some of the ratings here would have deterred me.
Can't wait to come back! I mean, I really can't wait. I might have to make time for this tomorrow, it would be a great last meal in Paris! read more
