L'Os à Moelle

$$$$, Bistro, Trocadéro/Tour Eiffel

User Rating: ***** 4.6

Fodor's Review:

Come for the early sitting at this little bistro on the edge of town and discover the dining room filled with English and Japanese speakers. (The waiters speak English automatically.) The EUR 38, multi-course dinner menu accounts for the restaurant's popularity -- yet lately quality seems to have been slipping, with chef Thierry Faucher also running Les Caves de l'Os à Moelle across the street and the recently opened Les Symples de l'Os à Moelle in the suburb of Issy les Moulineaux. Of six courses, at least four are likely to be fine -- but not all his ideas work, such as warm oysters in herb butter that fail to preserve the taste of the sea. Waiters plunk even the higher-priced bottles of wine on the table without waiting for the customer to swill and slurp. Still, these problems are nothing that couldn't be fixed with a little more attention from the chef.

Posted by Peter from Amsterdam on 2/2/06

I've been going to L'Os a Moelle every so often when I was in Paris and wanted to guarantee a good night out. The service can be a little so-so (they can get very busy), but it's always warm and kind. The decor is chintzy in a charming way, it doesn't seem to be a focus of the restaurant. The crowd, however, make up for it, enthusiastically eating and chatting. The food is by far the highlight - far more sophisticated and elegant than the price would indicate. The five course menu leaves you looking forward to your next visit, hopefully with enough time to digest in between!
