Jean François Piège

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. Its 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.

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

“Blanc à manger d”oeuf”

100% banana biscuit with lime

Egg cream with bergamot
