in paris, france (july’24)

one of the few fine dining spots i enjoy in paris, given not a huge french fine-dine lover. somewhat casual, neighbourhood restaurant where you can choose to be sat along the counter facing an open kitchen.

loved the start, fresh vegetables salad with a bottarga dressing and vinegrette, followed by a trio of pigs ear, squid and tartlet of clams and taramasalata. my favourite dish of the evening was the crab and broad bean salad on grilled zucchini with a rich bisque like crab emulsion. super summery and super fresh. their signature dish is their clarified butter poached lobster, amazing technique allowing the lobster to slowly cook but still remaining semi-raw resulting in an amazing texture. but personally couldn’t stand how cloying this was, it felt like biting into a stick of butter. but their main of pigeon and olive was beautiful and really liked the desserts of their another signature caper infused chocolate caviar tart, and their petite fours.

a very solid fine-dining i would recommend for special occasions, albeit pricey but one of the most enjoyable and laid back experience which in general is what i prefer over white tablecloths.
