Josephine Chez Dumonet - Paris (France)

Beef Bourguignon is a nostalgic dish for me, as it was often served on family lunches at my grandparent’s house. Originated in Burgundy, the recipe consists of a stew made with red wine and tough beef cuts that are tenderized through a very long cooking process. The end product is a fall-apart tender beef in a dark sauce with mushrooms, carrots and eventually other vegetables.

Josephine Chez Dumonet - Paris (France)

Beef Bourguignon is a nostalgic dish for me, as it was often served on family lunches at my grandparent’s house. Originated in Burgundy, the recipe consists of a stew made with red wine and tough beef cuts that are tenderized through a very long cooking process. The end product is a fall-apart tender beef in a dark sauce with mushrooms, carrots and eventually other vegetables.

When looking for a good beef bourguignon in Paris, Josephine Chez Dumonet inevitably comes up. And I can assure that it does not disappoint. The bubbling pot is comforting and aromatic. It comes with a side of tagliatelle that was a bit overcooked for my taste, but still served its purpose of soaking up the leftover sauce.

Even though I made my reservation solely because of the beef bourguignon, I was gladly surprised by other fantastic items on the menu as well.

One of them being the Pigeon Mille Feuille, that came with two beautiful pigeon legs on the side of the tower made golden and crispy potatoes layered with sliced pigeon. Topped with a collagenous sauce, it hit all of the right notes for me.

Another one was their pillowy Grand Marnier Soufflé. It is quite strong on the alcohol, balancing out the sweetness of the fluffy batter.

Josephine Chez Dumonet serves hearty dishes, with rich flavors that really please those passionate about French cuisine . For me, it went even beyond and made me travel back in time to a random Thursday night at my Grandma’s.

in paris, france (july’24)

continuing onto my (last) european summer post graduation, landed into paris just before the olympics. one of my favourites here has to be this small bistro around falguière, serving some of the heartiest and delicious french classics. not a long menu, but pretty much can’t go wrong with anything you order here but i do recommend trying their signatures.

i love their langoustines and morel mushroom starter, stuffed with a rich liver and sausage mince mixture. for mains, i highly recommend their ‘pigeon mille-feuille’, layers of thinly sliced nicely pink pigeon breast within fried potato roses before finished with two grilled legs. their beef bourignon is also the best rendition i’ve tried so far, comes with some slightly soggy and butter coated pasta but good enough to soak up all the sauce with the spoon cut tender beef. their duck confit is also one of my favourites here, they nail the balance of crispy skin and tender meat. portions sizes could also be halved on most dishes so you can max out on ordering just like we do every time.

their desserts here are very un-asian friendly as it feels like they use the whole pack of sugar for each dessert, but can’t fault their techniques as they make an amazing airy souffle. mille-feuille and apple tart are also very very good, even if you bring it home to have it the next day. highly recommended bistro that i genuinely enjoy over any fine-dining in paris, a must stop for me every trip.
