Its name doesn't lie – what can be better than a cozy place where awesome chefs treat you to generous and affordable modernized versions of French classics. Have a look at Man Ray on the walls and sit down on a leather sofa to begin with foie gras garnished with passion fruit jelly, or taste a creamy butternut soup with star anise and croutons. Follow with their trademark Saint-Jacques mi-cuites in shellfish juice. Eat it slowly, otherwise they will be all gone in a moment.
Options for vegetarians include fresh vegetables, which is a rarity for France.
If you’re more about the meat, do not miss their grilled Iberian pork. You can cut through it like butter, it’s that succulent. And leave some place for dessert – ‘Tout Chocolat,’ a trio of chocolate in all its forms, will win your heart. And be sure to pair each course with an appropriate Bordeaux from the organic wine list.
