    Dining at a Michelin Star restaurant was at the top of my To-Do List during my visit to Paris, only rivaled by climbing the Eiffel Tower. I had high expectations from a restaurant that boasted a star and I am happy that I chose this establishment for my first Michelin Star experience. I decided on the 3 course lunch, and was pleasantly surprised when 2 additional courses were added on at no charge (one before our appetizer and the other after our dessert). The lunch menu changes frequently so although my pictures might look tasty I suggest looking at the lunch menu before hand to see what the offering might be. Was the food phenomenal, no but it was delicious and I genuinely enjoyed all the courses. Just for fun though the Shrimp Risotto was my favorite course and I was visibly saddened when my spoon hit the bottom of my bowl. The only negative experience for me was the hovering by the waiters. Our conversation was frequently interrupted by someone refilling our barely empty waters or checking in to make sure we were fine. Also, since we were seated next to the entryway into the dining room they were in our line of sight just standing there waiting to spring into action. For me that kind of took away from the experience and overall enjoyment of the meal, but honestly I was so excited to be there it only registered as a mild annoyance. Would I come back to La Truffière? I probably would for sentimental reasons since it was my first Michelin Star restaurant, but beyond that I'm excited to try the many other restaurants Paris has to offer.

    There are houses whose constancy and perseverance in adversity must be commended. La Truffière had suffered a fire in 2002, which forced it to abandon its elegant fireplace (when you are kept by safety standards). It had waited years for a Michelin star, which has been significantly faster for other establishments. At the departure of Jean-Christophe Rizet, the same guide removed this same star with a celerity rarely seen. It has been known to be much slower for other establishments... The parenthesis Poard being closed, we begin today on new bases with Aurélien Braguier. If I tell you that his last job was with Jean-Luc Rabanel, you know immediately what to expect: the sublimation of the vegetable in all its forms. It starts with an amuse-bouche of peas with a confit tomato sauce, sesame-mounted cream and shizo young shoots. A preparation that clears the mouth at the beginning of a meal. Pretty worked product that sets the mood. The ceviche de dorade alternates the variety of tastes by mixing avocado, lemon, Espelette pepper, red peppers and mango. The leaves of nasturtium and cucumber flowers complete the whole. There will be a slight imbalance on the lemon, a hint too present. Small concern recognized by the chef and attributed, we agree, the settings inseparable from his recent arrival. The mackerel is more Provençal since it is smoked with thyme and rosemary and accompanied by beans. The flower and especially the nasturtium leaf, which was already on the ceviche, gives an original peppery edge. It is accompanied by an infusion of kaffir lime and fish bones stock. Infusion which is in fact an aroma but completely defatted. The appellation is more light! It is always this nasturtium found on shrimp turmeric snack with an emulsion with seaweed. Finally a little meat with the oysters meat of the crunchy tartlet of yellow carrots, parsnip, shizo and borage flower for this time. Then the Iberian pork presa, fennel, beetroot, carrot tops and nasturtium young shoots. And a reduced poultry juice. What does not change at La Truffière is the impressive cheese platter that honors the French tradition. They are more and more rare the restaurants that dare to exceed the banal assortment of three / four pasta preserved without respect in the refrigerator. As for desserts, the recent arrival of the chef has not yet given him the time to organize the menu as he pleases. So we remain for the moment on good achievements but remain fairly traditional, without the originality deployed in salty. We can not finish a meal at La Truffière without being tempted by a digestive that Eric Pelchat will find you by plunging greedily into the cellar! Armagnac being my sin, it will be a Domaine de Mader 1974. For the wines, Christian Sainsard is a passionate who accumulates the most prestigious flasks. It does not have 1 but 17 vintages of Petrus, 27 of Ausone and 28 of Cheval Blanc. But also 2 pages of Romanée-Conti and 13 pages of Champagne! So you will find something to please. But will I unnecessarily lengthen this article with the photos of the bottles that I had the pleasure (and the honor) to taste? I make you a simple gallery which, if you read the legends, will enrich without any problem your oenological culture. And you will of course salivate!

    I wanted to make my first meal in Paris big, so I came to La Truffiere and was not disappointed. I got the 7 course Aroma menu and a glass of wine. Service - Best service I think I've received... ever! I've never had a more polite waiter in my life. He made sure every aspect of my experience was to my liking. He would do a great job explaining the dishes and also tell me about his favourite dishes in the set as well. They really make you feel like royalty! Food - Where do I begin. Attention to detail was top notch. The dishes were all plated elegantly; you couldn't even find a messy spot or smudge if you tried! My favourite dishes in the set were: Fish in coconut cream and King crab ravioli. The other dishes were good as well, however I wasn't really a big fan of the pistachio mousse and brie dish. It was very heavy and could use either less brie, or something to cut the fattiness. At the end they serve a few of their house treats, the standouts were: of course their famous Truffle Macaron (SO good!), and their truffle caramel. I would definitely recommend this place. How it doesn't have a Michelin star yet is beyond me, but if they keep it up I have no doubt they'll get it soon!

    The food was definitely not good. Salty in general. Main course l had was lamb shoulder was hard and cannot chew at all, even said it was 7hrs cooked. though the service was good, everyone was very nice and helpful. Great service!

    Had a 7 course tasting dinner at this restaurant that specialises in truffles. The meal was excellent and the service was GREAT! Overall the experience is memorable.

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!

As a Chinese, I understood more than 50% of the conservations (Chinese). Which doesn't mean anything about the food. Just observation. Onion soup - 2 stars. First, the cheese failed to emit the baked, melted gruyere cheese, there is no aroma at all. I don't think they used gruyere cheese. May be mozzarella cheese. The worst part was the bread in the soup. It tasted stale which ruin the flavor of the soup. I had to finish without the bread. Escargot - Another disappointment. What made escargots special was the garlic butter and herb. Here, there were the herbs, no garlic, and French is famous with their butter but I taste oil but not buttery. Other places I actually get excited dipping the bread into the garlic butter but not here. Pan seared Foie gras - The quality of Foie Gras was definitely there. It's not as well seared as I hope but they managed to cook it through without overcooking it. The size of Foie Gras is kind of scary, it's like a small piece of rib eye steak. With just the onion soup and Foie Gras, I could barely swallow anything. Generous portion.

The restaurant itself isn't small, but really not big, so it's definitely worthwhile to make a reservation at least a week or so on advance, otherwise you're pushing your luck. Everyone ordered steak frites (2 rump steak, 2 flank) and no one was disappointed. Steaks were cooked to order, although medium here in France is more like medium rare in the States, just be advised. The restaurant itself is lively and fun with lots of chatting, laughing and good times being shared. Desserts were Crème Brûlée and Apple Crumble, neither of which were disappointing. We definitely enjoyed our dinner and would likely return again. This time with a reservation made well in advance.

Just finished a long bike ride to the Eiffel Tower and worked up an appetite. Decided to go straight to the main course. They are known for Au Gratins. My son is not a cheese fan so he opted for the norvigene (smoked salmon in dill lemon and EVOO. I decided to stick with the house specialty; Landais Au Gratin (cream potatoes, duck breast and emmental cheese). The 2 German girls beside me ordered a cider with both their meals so I followed their lead. When in Paris...... Considering the temperature, I almost second-guess myself and ordered something other than their house specialty of au gratin potatoes. In the end, I was very glad I overruled that thought. Brody enjoyed his meal. He just appeared to still be hungry when it was done and a 16 year-old boy that normally has a high caloric intake, I can understand why he wanted a second meal after eating his first! The restaurant in the patio were quite crowded even though we had reservations. They still sat us within five minutes of arrival. Not that five minutes is a long time to wait, but it was still worth the wait as good as the food tasted. We both enjoyed our meals.

He got even more snippy and rude when we declined to have wine or dessert, when we tried to ask any questions about the menu, even walking away from us while we were in the middle of speaking or asking a question. When he brought us food or drinks he nearly dropped it on the table and quickly sped off. Some other servers seemed nice to other guests, so maybe we got one on a bad day but still we felt really upset and uncomfortable with how we were treated, there is no reason for anyone in the service industry to be so rude especially when we were being so polite. You also get blocked into your seat, and are very close to other guests which is fine but you have to call the waiter to pull your table back out to get up or to go to your seat- to which they begrudgingly do so. The beef bourguignon was tasty, but we did not like how both my and my friend's order were brought in the same pot. This resulted in us having maybe 3 tiny potatoes each and not near as much meat as we hoped for. We were expecting to each have our own dish. This was certainly not worth the 36€ per person price point (nearly $80 USD for the one pot of food), and we left the restaurant still hungry and extremely upset and disappointed by the service. Overall I would not return or recommend.
