Happy ending with three tapas creative sweet

Stroll along the Quays of the old Paris, in stopping with his moods here or there, is largely a day, especially if step table. The most prestigious of among them, the Tower of money, rocked recently by his demotion of two to one star by the Michelin guide, is in full bustle, its Jean-François Sicallac, party leader, is now replaced by his second. It will therefore just admire (tables 30, 32, 33) Notre Dame and the wharf of Anjou, behind the glass bays of the Rotisserie of Beaujolais, annex bistrotière of the old lady, second honourable role of its repertoire without major cracks. There also change is underway, the Chief Patrick Rayer, becomes Chief Executive of the Tower Argent group, leaves the furnaces to his young second, Pierre Jacquin. Entries always: Burgundy snails, eggs meurette, Gratin onion, meat soup to the PIN or the grill, classic, kidney of veal Beaugé, daub beef Provencal, rooster in wine, Beaujolais, so can a card supporting some suggestions of the day at Slate. Wine pot as in a plug.

Past Saint-Michel in walking in the direction of the Museum of Orsay, Fogon, which opens for lunch on weekends, is a stop of choice, to get an idea of the bubbling who seized Spanish cuisine in recent years. Alberto Herraiz, native of La Mancha, close to the leaders of the culinary renewal in action across the Pyrenees, is involved in the movement without bomber torso. In a few passes of muleta, it easily demonstrates that this Spanish school which crop the traditional cuisine of the country is insolent youth. Best window, the menu tapas: according to the mood of chef gazpacho, soup of Jerusalem artichokes and Norway lobster, Norway lobster to grilled (superb), escalivada (a kind of vegetable ratatouille Catalan), anchovy caramel (on a thin slice of bread), Iberian ham, green asparagus, etc.

A real ride on the trails of taste that would be remarkable if an abuse of salt in each of tapas the day of our visit had come to spoil the ride. Happy ending with three tapas creative sweet. Rice (that Chief refuses call paella), flat valued sharing, another great speciality of the House, it is proposed to the Valencian, black ink cuttlefish, Norway lobster, etc. A irrigate a Spanish vineyard wine him also in full upheaval.

Beside, Lapérouse, founded in 1776, enchants by its beautiful historical framework, recently updated and released value. Tables of the shows on the first floor near the Windows, the view on the Seine at night adds to the charm of the premises. If the leader does not have the talent of Auguste Escoffier, the King of chefs, who made the reputation of the restaurant, he does however demerit not. Young poussesde salad spring rolls to salmon-flavored vinaigrette, quail stuffed with foie gras Braised Salsify, roast Zander radish cooked sauerkraut and sparkling juice Juniper show a bit of fantasy. Rooms can be rented for a private party.

The Voltaire, installed in the House where lived the great philosopher, receives the best world of Paris and New York with courtesy for ages. Antoine Picot is the home and purchases. He added each day his spadeful of Rungis on the map written by hand, very traditional map: egg mayonnaise "James" (fennel, sliced mushrooms of Paris, red beet, haricotsverts), dressing served in hand, filet of beef with pepper, fried whiting tartar sauce, ribs of lamb roasted apples skipped... a directory in the image of the House: bourgeois. The two rooms of the restaurant are a little dark woodwork and light lunch. Side bar/counter, he leaves to return the daylight and offers lunch a cheaper slate (about 30 euros).
