L'ouzeri sur Paris

20/10/2026: A delicious restaurant and very friendly staff, despite the slightly slow service. One small drawback, however: at the end of the meal, a digestif was offered without any mention of its price or even the fact that it wasn't included in the set menu. Beyond the unexpected expense, the surprise was rather unpleasant and ended the meal on a negative note. It's not unusual for it to be charged extra, but it's important to mention it.

19/10/2026: I don't often write reviews, but every once in a while I am compelled to share my thoughts. There isn't much I can add that hasn't already been said in other comments here, but I wanted to draw special attention to the dessert, playfully titled "a walk through the undergrowth". This dish featured multiple elements that were highly evocative of fall: poached apple pieces, fried apple peel, floral jelly, tempered dark chocolate bark, and a light hazelnut mousse. But the most surprising elements were completely outside my expectations: lightly poached and unseasoned mushrooms and tender beet greens. These additional elements added an unprecedented earthiness to the dish, that took my completely by surprise, and changed everything I thought I knew about desserts. In a world of cloying and overwrought desserts, I was completely taken aback by how the individual elements combined in the mouth for beautiful expression of fall that was only heightened by a restrained sweetness. Needless to say, the rest of the dishes shared the same sense of playfulness, creativity, and care, and I cherished every bite.
