La Table de Lucie sur Paris

Excellent restaurant in the 8th arrondissement. You can tell the food is homemade with high-quality ingredients. I particularly recommend the snails as a starter, followed by the beef cheek and the chicken with linguine as main courses! A nice touch is the small but varied menu.

Let's start with the positives: the perfect welcome, the impeccable service, the pleasant setting. The music could do with a serious update or something less like background music because we're clearly a little tired of the 80s 😆 The menu is limited, which suits us just fine, but in this case, we expect near-perfect dishes, especially for traditional cuisine. The beef bourguignon, for my part, wasn't worth the price, both for the meat and the mashed potatoes, which leaned too much towards mousseline. It's definitely not what a crumble is, and the same goes for the pastry and the fruit. The caramel brioche was a disaster; we regretted not having mentioned it. The brioche was good, but the caramel was almost inedible. We expect to eat better in a restaurant than at home, and unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
