You know, the food, as it goes, is passable French fare, but years ago I ate here and was trying to…read moreget some work done during dinner while alone. Other rude patrons accosted me. Years later I still think about how the staff of this restaurant abandoned me. I have come to believe this restaurant shouldn't exist, it is one of the worst restaurants in the world. A restaurant is not merely a place you go for base sustenance, but a temple of cultural communion. To severe the social contract between the diner and the staff is to lose every aspect that makes restaurants aesthetic temples; it desecrates any sense of beauty that they might have contained and gifted to the world. There is no beauty at Le Servan; only expensive food. Do yourself a favor and never go.

The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with an energy that made the meal even better. I had a bottle of champagne, which was the ideal way to unwind before the next flight. The mussels were fresh and flavorful, the boudin wonton had the perfect crispy bite with a rich filling, and the duck was cooked just right--crispy skin, tender meat, and a sauce that brought everything together. The owner even came over to check in, adding a personal touch to an already great experience. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you're a regular or just passing through. If you ever have a few hours in Paris, Le Servan is worth the stop. Great food, great champagne, and a perfect way to break up a travel day.

Some highlights: The amuse bouche course was incredible end-to-end, but what really stood out for me was a blue masa shell holding mussel, sauce, and microgreens/herbs/flowers. The mix of the different herbs, the savory salinity of the mussel, and the sauces was wonderfully complex, yet also harmonious. The poached sea trout with pumpkin and horseradish ice cream was very satisfying. The mix of poached trout and horseradish cream was very familiar, yet the twist of making the horseradish a wholly different temperature and texture was really surprising and innovative. The monkfish in adobo was another extraordinary dish. I have only had monkfish liver before, but the way they were able to perfectly cook the monkfish gave it a texture and flavor reminiscent of lobster. With the spice of the adobo, it was a really well balanced dish. Additionally, all of the wines that we tried were also notable and delicious. Frenchie has definitely earned its Michelin star, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has another by the next time I come back.

Hidden in an angle street of rue de la roquette, this place has a dozen wooden tables and benches. It is fully decorated by its wine bottles so you know what you step into. The owners are extremely friendly and passionate about the wines they serve, which they know perfectly. They go mostly for organic wines and have a preference for Languedoc reds which they find have a better quality/price ratio. There are a few wines from the other regions as well. In total, you'll find probably 50-80 wines on the menu, all deliberately chosen by the owner who will be happy to talk about them. This place is a mix between a wine shop and a restaurant: you can buy the bottles to go or drink it in the restaurant for an additional premium (6 or 8 euros, can't remember). The food is simple but good: charcuterie or cheese plates to share, some grilled meat or fish. Try the calamari and the burrata as appetizers, they're pretty good. All in all, you spend a great time in this place: you discover new wines and you eat some good food. This is a great place to bring a group of friends!

Awarded his second Michelin star in 2022, an accolade retained until now even as prices for the daily Tasting Menu have doubled from pre-pandemic, it is inside the simple green-awning space that guests will find a curved metal bar surrounding the kitchen where each plate is made from scratch at lunch and dinner. Booking just four diners for Wednesday lunch service, frankly unheard of for top-tables in Paris, a choice of seats was offered and after inquiring about allergies or intolerances the heavy-hitter Wine list was perused to the tune of three €40 glasses of 2018 Domaine Comtesse de Cherisey La Genelotte Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru. Eschewing all the luxuries of Alain Ducasse or Guy Savoy, though linens and high-quality stemware show Verjus understands what matters, it is while watching plates come together that guests are spoken to with warmth by staff who truly seem to value feedback. Starting with "Colours of the Day," varied Herbs and Vegetables lightly dressed amidst Bottarga, course two entails three bites from which an Oyster crowned by Kiwi proved to be one of the meal's highlights. A zealot for seasonal products, sliced White Asparagus allowed to shine in a buttery Sauce with smoke Roe, Verjus' time in Asia shows in lightly cooked Turbot bathing in a pool of Fish Soup brightened by Seaweed and hints of Soy. Priced on par with spots like Louis XV and Plénitude, a fact one cannot ignore when faced with a dish like "Moussestage" that is essentially Herb Soup, Gamba Roja with Uni beg question what the Green Star means since neither are local, though the dish and its follow-up Pigeon are both very good. Eschewing mis en place, only a curated Cheese Course showing any semblance of assemblage while everything else is prepared to order, pre-Dessert of Peas and Cream proves a nice setup to the unwavering finale of a Caper-infused Dark Chocolate Tart with Caviar and warm Madelines dipped in Kardamili Olive Oil.

You have the choice of a four course or six course menu and you can opt for wine pairings or order by the glass. We were part of the second seating and we decided on the smaller menu and ordered a bottle of wine. Each dish that we had was very balanced with lovely, seasonal flavors. My biggest complaint of the evening was the timing. Dinner took over three hours. There was often 45 minutes in between each course. I am all for a long dinner, but I think it is important that the restaurant acknowledges the pace the diners want. The entire restaurant seems to be on the same schedule with every dish, even people who arrived over 45 minutes after us we're getting the first course when we were. I really didn't joy the food but I would think twice about rushing back due to the timing.

After eating a lot of heavy meals on my trip, this was a welcome and much healthier alternative. Can't wait to visit Paris again in the future and come back to relive this meal all over again.
