The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

This place was a huge letdown. They had a cute little artisanal market on the front left of the…read morerestaurant. They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

It was a longer walk from the castle and our adjacent hotel than expected but nothing insurmountable. The concierge made reservations for us. They did not seem necessary but better safe than sorry. There's not much going on in this town so I could imagine this place getting packed at times. Wine selection by the glass was limited but still good as you might expect. For starters, we had the salad with salmon and croustillant de brie which was like a pastry with mushroom/cheese. They were both excellent and we ate every last bit. As a main, we had linguine and tournedos Rossini beef. Linguine was excellent as was beef. Very ample portions which made us regret having two appetizers and all the bread. We had espresso and tea to finish the meal. One of the waitstaff spoke English which was helpful since everything was in French and nobody else spoke English. Atmosphere has a very old and historic quality to it which was cool to sit in. You can imagine being part of the "resistance" or something.

For my main I had sole meunière and for dessert I had a freshly made creme brûlée- the waitress crystallized the sugar top with fire in front of me! I like silly things like that, it brings me a little joy. JB had a pate for entree, a piece of ham for dinner and baba au rhum for dessert!

Foies gras for starters and a couple of delicious "fillers", that cleansed our senses, readying us between courses, were as delicate as they were unexpected. We chose wines from the high end of the price ranges - which was very close to shop prices. Either they're really good at wine shopping, foreseeing enough to buy well in advance or they just don't add a lot their price. In any case delightful to be able to taste expensive wines without bleeding - which gives them the fifth star - it's really good value for money. We sat outside and the hot summer exploded into a rain festival - which was not problem at all, as the massive umbrellas provided sufficient shelter for all of us 9 guests. The waiters managed to cover all servings of courses at the cost of soaking themselves. That's commitment. The desserts were slightly less convincing than the starter and main course - hence the introduction, almost perfect. I know it's not very French to give a tip but I was really impressed by the food, wine and they were very service minded, so I tried to convince the waitress to add 10%. She downright refused. Told me to go elsewhere with my fancy manners. With a a smile that convinced me to come back. The restaurant has an associated hotel which I will give a try the next time we're in this area. And off course we will have dinner again.

Staff doesn't speak much English but can manage especially when the food tastes so good, such as the smoked salmon with grapefruit and caviar. I can still imagine the sweet and savory flavors when eaten together. In addition, the desserts were great too. First you get the small mixture of desserts, which the berry marshmallows, pistachio with raspberry tart and their version of a cherry cardinal was amazing. Once you get your actual dessert you almost have no room left but we managed to find space for the chocolate mouse cake and the mango sherbet with rum filled bite sized cakes.
