    The most life- changing experience with French cuisine. This is what French culinary dreams are…read moremade of. Get the appetizer grilled foie gras with side of greens, you won't regret it. The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

    This place was a huge letdown. They had a cute little artisanal market on the front left of the…read morerestaurant. They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

I got the formule, an entrée and plat for 27 euros and my husband got the entrée, plat, and dessert for 34 euros. They have two local beers, both very tasty and the Brouilly I got was excellent. The yellow pepper soup was amazing and the magret was for the most part very good (there was a lot of pepper on it-too much for my taste-and a couple of pieces were dry and overdone). The amuse-bouche was homemade beet purée with fresh herbs which was delicious. The vegetables were out of this world, especially the carrots and potatoes. My husband got the feuillette of Louis XIV and loved it. He drained his bowl of pork in broth. The bread was interesting, there was a completely black bread which tasted fresh and yummy. The total was very reasonable at 85 euros for what we got. The gardens are just spectacular although we sat indoors because of the rain but they had a fire going which made it a very cozy, inviting, and romantic dining experience. A real gem of a restaurant! And they served us a literal vat of mousse au chocolat made in house that despite our best efforts, we could not finish.
