Patrick Pignol’s « Le Relais D’Auteuil »(31 Boulevard Murat, 75016,tel 01 46 51 09 54) is a small place with « grande cuisine ». You can be sure to leave always happy when you dine in this 2 Michelin stars restaurant in the 16th. (Update February 2007. This year it has lost one Michelin star.But i am sure that next year it will get it back. Its an excellent restaurant.)
As its not possible otherwise: Patick Pignol’s cooking is “classical reinvented” and self-indulgent. I am not a big meat eater, but the “côte de boeuf” I had last night was excellent. There are several game dishes on the menu which, they say, are exceptional . The ambiance of the restaurant is serene and cozy thanks to contemporary design, colorful statuettes and well thought lighting.
Some interesting dishes. "around the oyster" and " mango sorbet".
