Very decent event food: Restaurant Ariette @ Pullman Paris Centre Bercy (16. June 2023)

Usually, I’m quite sceptical of the lunch offerings you get when having an event. But, it turns out, this version was actually a super nice one – you get a bit of everything, and the quality of the things is rather high. There were a few different salads and a soup as a starter. Secondly, […]

Decent if you are here anyways, but not worth visiting: Restaurant @ Holiday Inn Paris – Gare de Lyon Bastille, an IHG Hotel (2. June 2023)

Decent if you are here anyways, but not worth visiting: Restaurant @ Holiday Inn Paris – Gare de Lyon Bastille, an IHG Hotel (2. June 2023)

What you get in the Holiday Inn Paris – Gare de Lyon Bastille is a decent lunch offering. Not really what you would call amazing or mind-blowing, but surprisingly okay. The starter was a “slice of smoked duck with pea puree” and while the pea puree was rather uneventful, the slice of smoked duck was […]

Simple food, but incredibly friendly service when in France: Restaurant Les Bacchantes (1. June 2023)

Simple food, but incredibly friendly service when in France: Restaurant Les Bacchantes (1. June 2023)

Funny enough, the place I had picked was within walking distance of the Paris office, without me realising it. So, surprised by its location, I was actually also surprised by the whole thing. The place is tiny, but through intelligent interior design with mirrors, it looks quite a bit bigger than it actually is. The […]

Surprisingly good airport food, but definitely with a service speed not up to par: Restaurant Olivine (21. May 2023)

Surprisingly good airport food, but definitely with a service speed not up to par: Restaurant Olivine (21. May 2023)

I was looking for a place close to the hotel area, which was rated well on Google Maps. And I do admit, the food was quite decent. However, when it comes to coordination and service speed, then something was massively off. I went for the “sardines with olive oil” (EUR 9.00) because I thought it […]

An absolutely delicious and lovely experience in the gardens of Champagne: Restaurant Le Jardin Les Crayères (21. May 2023)

After a visit at the Joseph Perrier champagne yard, it was time for lunch. There are not too many options in that area, but thanks to the Guide Michelin app, I found the Le Jardin Les Crayères as a Bib Gourmand place. It is highly recommended that you book in advance and call (as we […]

A countryside restaurant with a Michelin star: Restaurant Le Grand Cerf (20. May 2023)

A countryside restaurant with a Michelin star: Restaurant Le Grand Cerf (20. May 2023)

After L’Assiette Champenoise the evening before, I was a bit curious to see how Le Gran Cerf with ‘only’ 1 Michelin Star would do. And, in a nutshell, one can say it’s a ‘countryside restaurant with a Michelin star’. The “Menu Dégustation” (EUR 148.00) started with a “tartelet”, which was quite nice and enjoyable. Then, […]

A lovely place but rather average food: Restaurant L’Édito (20. May 2023)

A lovely place but rather average food: Restaurant L’Édito (20. May 2023)

When you are looking to avoid a tourist trap while being located at the main square of Chalons-en-Champagne, don’t stay at the main square. The L’Édito looked relatively promising, and I must admit that my burger was actually quite decent. The food of the others, not so much. The “Double Édito Burger Royal (viande de […]

Well-deserved 3 Michelin stars with an unacceptable waiting time for the cheese waggon: Restaurant L’Assiette Champenoise (19. May 2023)

Well-deserved 3 Michelin stars with an unacceptable waiting time for the cheese waggon: Restaurant L’Assiette Champenoise (19. May 2023)

It is a bit ago since I’ve last been to a restaurant with 3 Michelin stars, so I was looking forward quite a bit to dine at the L’Assiette Champenoise. When you enter the place, you can see that quite some thought has been put into the overall setup. At the entrance, there is modern […]
