As a store, or even as a butcher, it doesn't compete with anything here in Paris. Nor does it try…read more What this place excels at is finding some of the best beef in the world, raised and butchered in Argentina and Uruguay, and flown here fresh, never frozen... at very reasonable prices. Notice that I didn't say cheap, only reasonable. But when you compare this beef with for example beef from le Bourdonnec or Hugo Desnoyer, and you see that you're paying about half of what you would be at those two elite butchers', you realise that this place is actually a find. If you have a taste for high level meat, you should know about this place and come here . Not only that, the welcome is friendly and the empanadas are wonderful, really quite good . There is also a very good selection of Argentine wine to match with your wonderful picanha. I know of no other place in Paris where I can buy fresh and correctly butchered picanha for €35 per kilo. As a matter of fact, I think I'll go there right now!

When my (White) husband goes, he's treated well. When I go (woman of color), I get treated like shit. Never any "hello" or "thank you."

We're done with Fillion and I hope you won't support this racist business.

I found Arnaud Nicolas on an Eater list and booked a table through TheFork for a party of 11,…read moreincluding three children. I was in charge of dining logistics for this unwieldy family trip and was grateful for this easy win, the first group dinner with our full complement. Arnaud Nicolas is a renowned chef, known for his charcuterie. His namesake restaurant is in the 7th arrondisement, a pleasant walk from the Eiffel Tower, where we spent the hours preceding our dinner in maximum tourist mode. We were a full half hour late for our 7:00 reservation, but I was able to call ahead and no one seemed to care. The place was more or less empty when we arrived anyway, and I was reminded that Parisians eat late by American parent standards. When we left, after 9:00, the dining room was busy and vibrant. The restaurant was lovely, unfussy but quite nice, with a laid-back wine bar atmosphere. We sat at a high table, set up for our enormous group, though one of us (the two-year-old) napped through most of dinner. Service was great, polite and efficient. Our waiter met all our needs handily, and we enjoyed a relaxing dinner (or as relaxing as possible, given our circumstances) with plenty of wine and cured meat. We started with a big charcuterie spread, getting two of the house combinations, La Signature and L'Italienne. La Signature came with foie gras, terrine, pork rillettes, and pâté en croûte, the pastry-enclosed pate that seems to have put Arnaud Nicolas on the map. L'Italienne was a more familiar medley of Parma ham, coppa, and soppressata piccante. Everything was outstanding. We also got a gravlax appetizer and a tomato and yellow peach salad to share, both winners. The salmon was silky and flavorful, marinated and cured, served with fennel and apple espuma and a dense, sturdy bread. The salad was fresh and colorful, with smoked burrata, tomato jelly, verbena, tiny croutons, and a drizzle of basil oil. I ordered the poached sea bream filet for my entrée and this was solid, a nice piece of fish served with cooked vegetables, bouillabaisse juice, and rouille sauce. I also tried some of my mom's octopus with red bell pepper coulis, green bean salad, and corn cream. This was the one miss of the evening, the octopus surprisingly tough. My husband's duckling filet, on the other hand, was fantastic, tender duckling with eggplant caviar, big chickpea fritters, and a blackcurrant sauce. The kids ate butter pasta, which was not on the menu but cheerfully provided. I was impressed with Arnaud Nicolas and would recommend it to anyone visiting (or living in) Paris. It works well in conjunction with the Eiffel Tower, but you can go whenever you want wine and charcuterie and an all-around good time.
