17/02/2026: I come here very often thanks to a friend who has become a regular, and whether it's the price or the food, there's nothing to complain about!
16/02/2026: I had the pleasure of discovering "Le Murmure Fracassant," a Parisian brasserie, several times last week during Vinexpo, and honestly, it was probably the best decision of my trip.
I was alone at the trade fair with my winery, so by the end of the day I definitely didn't have the energy to take the metro across Paris in search of a "trendy" spot. From my hotel (the Montcalm), all I had to do was get off the metro, walk ten meters, and sit down at Le Murmure Fracassant to get something to eat. And what a relief!
It's a very lively place: constant coming and going, noise, rather small tables, and a high turnover. Here, it never stops. The servers have impressive energy and focus, because the pace is intense, but the quality and attention are always there. And that's rare.
I went there for dinner twice. For my first meal, I had the beef tartare with Bleu d'Auvergne cheese and walnuts, served with fries and salad: fresh, well-seasoned, and generous—exactly the kind of dish that revives you after a long day at a trade show. All accompanied by a glass of Secondé champagne, perfect for unwinding.
The following evening, having arrived late, I was seated at the counter, a great option. I started with Burgundy snails in homemade parsley butter, followed by a very generous portion of comforting fish and chips.
And for my last morning: a full breakfast with bacon, scrambled eggs, brioche, and Darjeeling tea. Simple, satisfying, and prepared with care.
Why go to Murmure Fracassant? Because I felt comfortable there, quite simply. Because you're dealing with professionals, both in the kitchen and in the dining room. The dishes were substantial, with clean, assertive flavors where acidity and spices took center stage, and that was just perfect. Special mention also goes to the staff: we even shared a few laughs at my rusty French, which I mixed freely between French, English, and Italian… quite a show!
In short: I can't wait to go back, perhaps with slightly more fluent French this time. Thank you and see you soon! ^_^
