Mooie goed uitgewerkte gerechten met mooie wine pairing. Dat komt met een prijs.
Voor het eerst in mijn leven, in een sterrenzaak: geen thee! Uitleg was geen plaats voor een waterkoker….suggestie water in pannetje bij de koks laten koken en wat gember of verse munt werd niet zo goed ontvangen. Op rekening mijn coffee for free…als compensatie voor geen thee.
The attention to detail, the flavor and quality of the dishes, the knowledge of every single one of the staff and the synergy to which they perform is out of this world.
Will come back every single time I visit Paris.
Period.
Be back. Great food,staff, and ambience:)
The amuse-bouche was a delightful citrus surprise - a tiny flower decorated surprise that burst with a tangy citron flavor. As the courses unfolded, citrus notes danced on my palate, adding a refreshing and vibrant touch to each dish. The lamb main course was mind-blowing, perfectly prepared 3-ways was brightened by a touch of lemon zest, while the hint of yuzu in the accompanying sauce added a delightful complexity. Even the dessert, a decadent banana banoffee, was lifted by a whisper of citrus, leaving a lingering sweetness on my tongue.
It wasn't just the food; it was art on a plate, meticulously crafted to tantalize both the eye and the palate. The global influences Chef Marchand wove in were delightful surprises, but it was his use of citrus that truly stole the show. Each bite was a testament to his creativity and his deep understanding of how to use these complex flavors to elevate his dishes.
While the tables are close, it fostered a warm and convivial atmosphere, letting me soak in the Parisian energy and chat with my fellow diners. It was the perfect balance of intimacy and liveliness.
Sure, it's a splurge (€140!), but for a special occasion, it's absolutely worth it. This wasn't just dinner; it was an experience I'll cherish forever. If you're looking for an intimate and indulgent exploration of French gastronomy with a delightful citrus twist, look no further than Frenchie. It's pure magic!
Tips:
* Reservations are a must, and they go fast! Book well in advance.
* Don't be intimidated by the Michelin star – the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming.
* Dress up a bit if you feel like it, but comfort is key too.
* Embrace the close tables – it's part of the Parisian charm!
Since we had small portions at the beginning, we expected that at least the main course will be more abundant. It was literally 2 bites of lamb.
Way too expensive !!! We never regret when we pay a lot if we ate well and had a good time but really hurt when we were paying
Malgré ces petits aspects négatifs, le ressenti global reste très positif et les assiettes sont toutes exquises !
Le menu est bien pensé, cohérent du début à la fin. Les plats sont réfléchis et font honneur aux produits.
Amy et l’équipe étaient sympathiques et avaient de bonnes connaissances sur plats et produits servis.
Laissez vous porter, l’expérience n’en sera que plus belle!
Small restaurant with 9-10 tables, was able to get a reservation online with a little persistence, definitely required keeping an eye when the reservation window opens.
The night we dined there it was a 100% American crowd of tourists, some clearly had no idea what the place was about, which was a shame.
Important to note that when we dined there, it was a blind tasting menu, in which they accommodated dietary restrictions.
The food was outstanding, the execution perfect, and with great creativity. The eggplant (3 ways if I recall) was perhaps the most memorable bite for me, with a crispy skin component and a warm fleshy component in 1 bite was awesome.
The service was absolutely fantastic. I find sometimes the service in Michelin starred restaurants to be too stuffy, formal, and even unpleasant. Not the case here, wait staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly courteous to all guests.
We dined in a few of Paris' top restaurants during our trip, and this was the best meal we had.
