I had a great dinner with friends at la Poulette de grain. We made the reservation through the app La Fourchette and got 40% off the items menu a la carte (I think it's a good deal, because their food is pretty pricey). This place offers hearty delicious french food, with simple ingredients most of the time, but delicious!
It's a cozy spot, close to the metro Faidherbe Chaligny or Reuilly Diderot, where the food smells delicious when you come inside. We started by some drinks - they offer a happy hour during the week, from 5 to 8 pm, with 5 euros cocktails. I ordered a rasperry daiquiri, I was expecting more flavor though.
Then we ordered different dishes, mainly main and dessert : Parmentier de Canard (duck and puree), Poulet fermier (farm chicken), with the choice of having the , fish of the day (which was salmon this night), the Poulette burger and the Cassolette de Poulet (chicken casserole).
I tried the Poulette Burger and half of the Cassolette de Poulet. I wasn't really up for a burger and was pleasantly surprised : all the ingredients blend perfectly together : chicken, cocktail sauce, sun dried tomato, smoked duck, cheese...YUM !The waiter advised us to try as well the cassolette, which is great if you're very hungry, it's made with chicken, sour cream, different kinds of mushrooms (cepes and bolets), potatoes, some herbs and with a salad on the side. I enjoyed every dish. To finish the meal, I ordered a "Moelleux au chocolat" with creme anglaise made with Cointreau - it's a " valeur sure" as you would say in French, you can never go wrong with this choice.
I had the discount so for my drink, main dish and dessert, I paid 25 euros (which is not bad at all) but if you don't have the discount, it get pricey. We had a good waiter, giving us great recommendation as well, so I recommend this place! read more
