Restaurant La Doyenne sur Paris

13/08/2024: Had dinner at this restaurant on a Friday and I was thoroughly impressed with the food. The menu was definitely long (it's called the long menu, after all) and eveything was delicious. The chef deserves special props for the most beautiful presentation I think I have ever seen. Each course like a work of art and super flavorful. The blue lobster was just out of this world! My only negative, and the reason I give 4 stars instead of 5, is that the wine list only contains natural wines. I am always disappointed when restaurants make this choice, because I feel it should be up to the client if they wish to drink natural or more conventional wine. In my opinion, a good wine list must contain options for all tastes. When I described things I did not enjoy in natural wines to the sommelier, he had a very difficult time recommending a bottle. In fact, he could only recommend one, which he had to decant beforehand, to get rid of the initial effervescence. It was ok, but had a slight aroma of boiled eggs and didn't pack a lot of complexity.
