LE VIOLON D’INGRES
Chic brasserie where you can discover a menu of dishes changing with the seasons and the chef's themes.
The decision taken by Christian Constant, to make his admiral ship no longer a starred restaurant but rather a chic and contemporary brasserie, has completely mastered. And despite this change, it is still successful. In the kitchen, Jérémie Tourdjman and Alain Carrere have the talent to harmonize the positioning desired by Christian Constant, the man who greets and knows all his customers. On the menu, dishes that change according to the seasons, and a chef who offers various themes. In autumn, we revisit the dishes of your childhood but beware it all with a certain class and a certain luxury: pan-fried duck foie gras with gingerbread, pressed beef tongue and duck foie gras in Lucullus way, special hot oysters "Tarbouriech" browned with champagne, raw roasted skate wing spread with shallots and chive, breaded pig trotter andouillette, or, to be shared, a Vol au vent of sweetbreads. For dessert, we recommend you the hot soufflé with Grand Marnier, caramel with fleur de sel of Guérande, a set of gourmet. You can go there with your eyes closed, it is never disappointing and if you're wondering from where this melodious note come from, the answer is: from Montauban.

Went for the tasting menu and I cannot express to you how deplorable the entire experience was. It is still a running joke in our family over a year later about how terrible the food was. Tasteless, cold/warm food, undercooked (yes I am aware that this is a thing in France), service was terrible, and the Chef watched everyone eat the food very intensely. I have no idea how they gained a Michelin Star or how they are still keeping it. The experience was so bad that we decided to just order two bottles of champagne and get drunk enough to forget what was happening. Fantastic champagne though! DO NOT GO HERE! Opt for a more local/smaller restaurant like Le Petit Cler, remarkable food and service.

Specified in advance that my son was Vegan and I had a nut and seed allergy and the Chef/kitchen were NOT creative at all. For my Vegan son they offered a salad plate and a vegetable plate and that’s it. He had to sit and watch us eat our wine pairing menu. As I was eating there was a fruit plate that had seeds in it that the waiter/chef didn’t specify that was something I shouldn’t have. Luckily the seeds were large enough I could pull them out. We have been to Michelin star restaurants and Non Michelin star restaurants that have actually found our allergy’s a challenge and experience and have truly impressed us. This restaurant didn’t take the extra step to please the consumer! Farewell Paris!
