One of the best meals of our trip. We made a reservation earlier in the day and were seated at a cute bistro table right by the open concept kitchen which allowed us to see all the amazing food being prepared to order.   Food: The mushroom escargot were divine and came bubbling hot to the table. This appetizer had no shortage of parsley butter to dip the mushrooms in and the escargot were placed within the mushroom like little presents. Genius presentation and we much prefered it to the shells! My mom also enjoyed the foie gras to start and the bread was so fresh and crisp. For the main course we shared the beef bourgignon. This too came piping hot in a mini dutch oven served with a side of silky mashed potatoes. The beef was tender and falling apart! The sauce was more acidic than we had anticipated. Left us wondering if this was due to the wine or if vinegar was included in the sauces preparation. Dessert was the best we tasted in Paris, a classic creme brulee! A delicous meal.   Drink: We ordered the pinot noir that our waiter recommended would pair best with our dinner and it was a perfect pairing.

But shoutout to this…read morerestaurant for being open on Christmas Eve - glad to have had a reservation and had peace of mind of not having to go looking for food on Christmas Eve. The hits of this meal were the oysters, onion soup, duck confit, and mont blanc dessert. The oysters are super fresh, slightly sea water tasting, but overall delicious. You can see them chucking the oysters in the front of the store. The onion soup had the iconic cheese top, with a great cheese pull. The onions were very caramelized, and the broth was a good balance of slightly sweet and very savory. The duck confit was super tender and had a delicious lightly sweet sauce drizzled on top -- almost reminiscent of char siu glaze. Definitely my favorite item of the night. They bring out a glass case of desserts you can pick from and explain each one, which is nice. Loved the richness of the chestnut cream on the mont blanc, and the cream inside was super light and airy. And not to mention, none of it was super sweet, which is great! The misses of this meal (not necessarily bad, just probably wouldn't get again) were the bread, fish, and suffren (unfortunately ironic considering the name of the restaurant). The complimentary bread was stale and really hard to chew. But hey it's complimentary, so won't complain too much. The fish was firm and not tender - I think it may have been overcooked. The sauce was too salty for our liking. Again, not bad, but just wouldn't get again. The suffren was a huge portion, so I'll give them that. There's plenty of variety, including various sausages, ham hock, and sauerkraut. One of the sausages was quite dry and mushy, and way too salty, while the other one was chewy, snappy, and delicious. The ham hock was on the saltier end as well, but tender and fell of the bone, so snaps to that. The sauerkraut wasn't that crunchy and was instead a bit mushy. Definitely some hits and some misses within this particular dish. Once again, thankful to all the staff working for being super kind and friendly on Christmas Eve!

Regardless - on to the food. I ordered the steak and fries. The steak was very well cooked and the butter on top was parsley and garlic infused. However, there was something missing. The fries were nicely crisp and the meat was very well cooked; however, both were missing an element of taste.

They offer classic French cuisine in an opulent, history-filled setting & I got a dish from their historical recipes menu! The "Ivre de Julienas" Coq Au Vin is a classic comfort French dish. The portion is enough for 2 people so I highly recommend sharing. The chicken is super tender since it's slowly braised in red wine with mushrooms and onions. It's extremely rich, savory, and aromatic. I can see this being a great dish to eat on a chilly day. After several bites, the flavor profile fell flat for me but I'm glad I was able to try this dish for the first time at an institution like this! If you want to be transported back to the 1600s and have a proper French meal, definitely add it to your list!
