One of my old haunts...been here sooo many times in the past...but, all has changed, this past 15…read moreyears
We had a booking at Le Village in Neuilly but got a call yesterday lunchtime to say the staff had all gone down with a bug so they were closed last night
This was our wedding anniversary and checking who was open on a Sunday night, my wife asked to come here as she had never been...and it is walkable to
Totally different - much smarter, quite an upgrade, though it still had its dinosaur (oh yes it did!) hanging above your head...shame that in the remodelling they had to take a piece of its tail off! This was to make roon for a separate pizzeria at the frint. To the side, they still have the open air area for the summer (used to be crowded)
But this wasn't crowded. the service was good, friendly, efficient...I had the steak, my wife the tune carpaccio, followed by a sorbet and Finger Gianduja. A couple of glasses of bubbles, a glass of Cote du Rhone and a Sancerre blanc. Very reasonably priced and good value at £130 inc tip. That makes 2 good steaks in a week in Paris...a rare event!
As we were leaving we were given a leaflet advertising their NYE bash...it all looked very familiar...not surprising, as it is now owned by the same people as have the River Cafe a bit further down the Seine - we have had my wife's significant birthday there (good food), we were there for NYE pre Covid (great fun, arrived at 9pm, left at 2:15...slow day after)...we are booked in again for the NYE this year! (maybe next year, we just walk up the road to CdlJ rather than add another £100 taxi bill!)
A lovely evening in a well-Christmas decorated room
Guess we should come here more often
