Les Cailloux sur Paris

04/04/2026: We’ve been to Paris numerous times and have a restaurant that we tell friends is our favorite. Well, as of tonight, we have a new favorite. This is a charming, old school Paris restaurant. Tables very close together, the waiter pulls the table out so the lady can slip into the banquette, real candles on the table. Dim, romantic. (The only downside was I needed the light on my phone to read the menu. A small sacrifice to make.) We had a 7:30 reservation on a Saturday night. Only three other tables occupied when we go there. Packed by the time left. If you go, I’d strongly recommend a reservation. The waiter was very charming. His opening line was, “Would you like a glass champagne to help you read the menu?” Bien sûr! He proceeded to explain how this one was a little different while we enjoyed it. Speaking of wine, they had something I’ve never seen before: you can order top shelf wines by the glass without having to spring for the whole bottle. We split the bone marrow appetizer. This is one of my wife’s favorites, and this one was excellent. Perfectly salty, served with toasted crusty bread. For the entree, I had the beef tartare. Ones doesn’t see it much in the US, so I always get it. This one was really good. The real star of the show was the special, steak topped with a piece of foie gras. The French way of doing a steak is they reverse seer it in a cast iron skillet and then roast it in the oven to the desired temperature, is this case medium rare. I don’t know whether they pan fry the foie gras or roast it with the meat, but the combination of the two was truly spectacular. It was served with excellent mashed potatoes. Victor will definitely get an encore.
