Ze Kitchen Galerie Review

William Ledeuil made his name at the popular Les Bouquinistes before opening this contemporary bistro in a loftlike space. The name might not be inspired, but the cooking shows creativity and a sense of fun: from a deliberately deconstructed menu featuring raw fish, soups, pastas, and à la plancha (grilled) plates, consider the roast and confit duck with a tamarind-and-sesame condiment and foie gras, or lobster with mussels, white beans, and Thai herbs. A tireless experimenter, Ledeuil buys heirloom vegetables direct from farmers and tracks down herbs and spices in Asian supermarkets. The menu changes monthly, and there are several different prix-fixe options at lunch, starting at €26.50.

    During our very positive dining experience here, I felt like I was in a place to "see and be seen," but that detracted only a little from the great meal.

    The dishes, and their presentation, were truly artistic, and more colorful than I would have thought food could be. It was an experience for the eyes and the appetite.

    We had asked for a table with a view into the kitchen, but the window into the kitchen is set up just high enough that we couldn't really see what was going on.

    I have been there about 4 times and eaten the evening menue with wine for 2 about $300 absolutely the best duck breast I have ever had. You will have a special experience eating there.
