Chez Serge sur Saint-Ouen

When you walk by, nothing particularly entices you to go in, which is a real shame because you risk missing out on an incredible culinary and human experience. First, you're greeted by Cyril, who greets you with his Parisian street-urchin charm, belying a warm heart. He's a character in his own right. Once seated, the menu offers traditional cuisine of wonderful quality, changing regularly. You'll find everything from kidneys to sublime cuts of beef, slow-cooked dishes, or sauerkraut for those with a hearty appetite (small appetites beware!), all beautifully presented and generously portioned. The food is homemade, and it shows (the chef is tucked away in his kitchen, but he certainly deserves a Michelin star). The starters and desserts are also of high quality (especially the lemon tart, right Cyril? 😋). And above all, don't forget Cyril's recommendations for wine to accompany your meal (by the glass or bottle); their wine cellar is also incredible. The best thing to do is to go there.

Thanks again to the whole team for the warm welcome, the service, and the delicious food. Looking forward to next year's EDF staff meal! ;)
