Well, we enjoyed Les Parisiens so much that “must return” couldn’t wait 'til next trip; we went back for dinner two weeks later on the second-to-last day of our trip.
I started with a very good daurade(?) tartare with a sorbet on top.
For mains we both had the turbot with chanterelles in a champagne butter sauce. Not particularly creative, and I can’t say the fish was cooked as perfectly as that cod, but well executed and really tasty.
The accompaniments happened to be almost identical sides as we had the night before at Canard & Champagne.
- Vegetables, excellent (pumpkin+)
- Frites properly salted, just good
- Small salad with a very nice dressing
Dessert was a fantastic caramel millefeuille. My wife loved it and she’s usually not a millefeuille fan. Best one I’ve ever had.
Either Thibaut Sombardier has a better pastry chef than he had at Antoine, or his pastry chef has gotten better!
I was very happy with the two glasses of wine recommended by the sommelier, the pairings were good.
I was surprised that I actually liked the room better at night than I did at lunch. Part of it I think was the lighting, and part no doubt was that the room was full on the Saturday night, while not even half full for our midweek lunch.
I thought it was fair value. I might come back again at dinner, too, and of course returning for lunch is a must. In fact, if we lived in Paris, I think I’d come for lunch every 2-3 weeks.
