We were seated immediately but we did have reservations. We were just in the Burgundy district yesterday so we ordered a burgundy Chablis that was perfect!

I was hungry and dove into everything before I thought to take pictures! My wife got the duck dish which was also fantastic! I did however remember to take a picture of my dessert Tiramisu with figs and it was sooooo good! While we were finishing our bottle of wine they brought us a couple of house made caramels....

The starter we chose was a fantastic chilled green soup - it was a cucumber base but I don't have a clue what else was in it, since th flavors blended together so well.

The quenelle was scrumptious and very filling. Both the rhubarb crumble and lavender crème brûlée were excellent!

Superb!!! We first…read moreheard of La Villaret from Paris By Mouth, and we are sure glad we did. We made a reservation for the evening of the Metro strike. Traffic throughout Paris was a nightmare! So I called to let them know we would be late, "no problem, we will wait for you" was the response, putting us at ease. As we were seated the first thing I noticed was a plate of pata negra, that lovely black footed Iberico ham from Spain, sliced perfectly thin. They also had ceps that evening, the French porcini, simply pan roasted with herbs, shallots and a nice jus. For plats, my wife had the skate, perfectly moist thanks to being left on its cartilage, accompanied with fresh haricot verts and a nice sauce. For me I kept with my pig theme, with a lovely, perfectly cooked, bone in black footed iberico pig pork chop with white beans and chorizo and lovely jus. I don't usually order pork in a restaurant unless it is a braise or BBQ since it is usually overcooked and dry. Not this one, it was moist and succulent. All four dishes were absolutely awesome. We had been drinking a lot of champagne and northern Rhone all week, so we wanted something different, something medium bodied and a red Burgundy seemed like the obvious choice. My problem is unlike other regions of France, Burgundy has always baffled me. Way more complicated than Bordeaux, the Rhone, Cahors, Champagne...you get the picture. Not to worry, they had two things going for me. An extensive list at all price points and a great somm to help. I told him what we were having, a price point and that we wanted something with some age. Voila, he suggested a 2009 Volnay premier cru from a small producer that I had never heard of, and probably is not available outside of France due to a limited production. At 145 euros a relative bargain. It was a perfect match and drank very well throughout the evening as it developed in the glass. My first inclination was to have it decanted, but again our somm recommended not to, and just let it develop in bottle and he was right. As I have said in many past reviews, a great somm brings so much to the dining experience! After a lovely chocolat desert we were done, but our driver was running late due to the still horrendous traffic. He called a few times to let the restaurant know he was running late and when to expect him and again, the restaurant was very helpful and accommodating. A perfect experience, off the beaten track, no Americans, lovely non-hovering classic French service. We have now been in Paris ten days and this was easily the best meal of the trip thus far. We will be back.

Pierre Sang offers a tasting menu only at 54€ featuring 6 courses, taking ~2+ hours. Courses are described after they have been eaten, a unique concept. Courses were simple, using very fresh ingredients. The butter that came with the bread was quite tasty. The meal featured 2 appetizers, 2 mains, a cheese course, along with a dessert. The appetizers were a beets along with an egg course. The fish course was very light with the fish grilled to perfection and topped with some tasty sauce. The chicken entree features a couple pieces of chicken thighs which were mostly cooked. I wasn't a fan of the cheese course. The dessert was also pretty simple. Both Metro and bus stops are nearby!

I think guessing what you're eating really makes you pay attention to what you're eating. often times they come out and tell you a whole list of ingredients and you forget half of them already before you eat it. This way, you pay attention to what you're eating, we didn't get all the ingredients right, but it was fun to try and guess. there were a lot of surprises which made it really cool.

The menu is traditional French. We started with a tomato salad with feta and chopped iceberg lettuce with a vinaigrette dressing. It was good. We paired our upcoming meats with two bottles of French burgundy wines, which were excellent. Our main courses were the steak frites and the Lyonnaise lentils. The steak was cooked perfectly with an added sauce. Fries were thick-cut and perfectly fried. The Lyonnaise lentils were very good as well with deep and satisfying flavors. I'd never had them before but basically it was a bed of lentils in herbs and a vinaigrette dressing. Around the lentils were bacon and sausage pieces. Dessert for me was an ice cream with Grand Marnier sauce. I rarely get a dessert for myself but this was so good I could have had 2. The ice cream came in a disc with the sauce on the bottom and a light cookie crumble layer on top. Delicious. Interestingly, this is right next to the yard site where the original statue of liberty was assembled.
