LE GALOPIN

admin — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:47:09 +0000

In an offbeat neighborhood in the 10th arrondissement is this small, informal restaurant serving elegant, subtle and complexly flavored cuisine. The restaurant sits on the corner of a quiet street and on the main level, one can watch the chef and his assistants working in the small open kitchen. The dishes they produce are a marvel. At dinner, there is a 42 Euro set menu (which they will adjust for allergies and specific food preferences) and each of the dishes is a work of art – beautiful to the eye and very flavorful, light and sublime. The menu typically includes vegetable dishes, a fish and meat or fowl course; it changes daily according to the freshest ingredients available. The street often looks a bit narrow for a car to pass through but you can arrive by cab, and they will call a cab for you when dinner is over. It’s also an easy walk from the metro.
