Le Violon d'Ingres
Le Violon d'Ingres Review
Following in the footsteps of Joël Robuchon and Alain Senderens, Christian Constant gave up the Michelin star chase in favor of more accessible prices and a packed dining room (book at least a week ahead). And with Stéphane Schmidt in charge of the kitchen here, Constant can dash between his four restaurants on this street, making sure the hordes are happy. And why wouldn't they be? The food is sophisticated and the atmosphere is lively; you can even find signature dishes like the almond-crusted sea bass with rémoulade sauce (a buttery caper sauce), alongside game and scallops (in season), and comforting desserts like pots de crème and chocolate tart. The food is still heavy on the butter, but with wines starting at around €20 (and a €30 lunch menu) this is a wonderful place for a classic yet informal French meal.
