We made a lunch reservation at Les Fines Lames with no problem and so very glad that we did. When we arrived we had a choice of two seats and we picked the one close to a window and across from a table of others...the other room was very quiet. We sat at our table and admired the big knives in their homes in the table. They each had a slot that their blade fit into. They were of course quickly removed as we sat for I am sure safety reasons. But what a concept. Big Knives for Big Steaks! I will say that, as we sat through our meal the place became very busy.
We looked through the menu and asked if there were any beef options not listed. After a while we ordered a Grilled Hanger Steak served with Pomme Frites and selected a Poivre Sauce for the beef. The other order was a Grilled Bavette (flank steak) with a Bearnaise Sauce and a Salad. Of course we shared everything and everything was perfect. Both beef selections were cooked to perfection. The grilled taste was amazing. The Bearnaise sauce might have been the best either of us has ever had. The Frites were perfectly cooked. A nice crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Loved the presentation.
Service was great. Atmosphere was like no other. Barrels hanging from the ceiling, knives inserted into the tables. Wine options on the wall almost as a picture. Loved this place. Food was some of the best.
Highly recommend and will definitely return when in Paris. read more
