The dining room
Two Michelin starred Jean François Piège (79 Rue Saint-Dominique 75007, tel. +33 1 47 05 49 75 ) is like no other gastronomic restaurant in Paris. It’s tables are not covered with white tablecloths, the waiters are wearing jeans instead of black suits and the dining room looks more like a private apartment than a restaurant. Jean François Piège and his team mean serious cooking though. Despite of the cosy and relaxed ambiance of the place, most of the dishes flavors and techniques are mastered to high end gastronomy perfection. And it was nice to see Jean François Piège cooking and supervising everything himself.
The restaurant doesn’t have à la carte. Below are the images of my lunch menu for € 99
Hot and cold appetizers:crispy veal tongue with capers and parsley; “jambon beurre”;”brandade de morue”; smoked salmon with horseradish…
Beetroot concentrate, beetroot chips, iced mustard
New potato in “tourtelette” with eel. The dish I appreciated the least. The pastry and potato combination was bizarre..
Grilled asparagus extract,horseradish-tarragon emulsion… Fantastic!
Morels with yellow wine,Cancoillotte cheese crust,poached egg
Crispy semolina with cottage cheese
Exceptional baguette
Sea bass with roasted asparagus, wild herbs
Iced vacherin with rhubarb and strawberries
