Samouraï sur Orsay

07/03/2026: I wasn't here during an event, so can't judge that. However, it could only get better - good food always pairs well with jazz. The interior is very cozy and seems to get rather full soon after opening. Despite that, the service is fast, the staff are cheerful and helpful, the food comes put quote fast. * Tartare de Boeuf * When in Paris, I always seek for Tartare de Boeuf - my favourite meal. And unfortunately it is very hard to find one not soaked in sauce, mixed with weird or too many things - that hides the flavour and may hide that the meat is not fresh. La Gramophone serves excellent beef tartar. It is fresh and classical. Meat is chopped, raw egg on top, some fries paired with vlue cheese sauce, and greens on the side. That's it. Sure, there are more ingredients mixed in the meat, but they are very subtle and don't dominate the flavour. Every bite delivers the right flavour. Maybe some kappers would be nice, but that is a negligible personal taste. * Pink burger * Second time i was here i tried the chefs recommendation for the day, it was a good choice either. Beets in buns give the pink colour and a nice sweetness to the bun, duck confit and caramelised onions inside with some nice cheese, sweet potato fries on the side make a very good meal. I can recommend this dish as well.

01/03/2026: It was a very pleasant feeling to feel like regulars, even though it was our first time discovering this place. Between the old floorboards, the beams, and the tastefully vintage decor, you can feel the place is steeped in history and music. The quality and selection of dishes are perfectly balanced. And a big thank you to the service team! When the carafe of water, bread, and wine arrive unbidden, at the perfect time, and with a smile, it might seem like small details, but for me, it's important to the overall impression. Don't change a thing.
