Dominique Bouchet

Dominique Bouchet Review

To taste the cooking of one of the city's great chefs, you no longer need to pay for the sumptuous backdrop once provided by the Hotel Crillon: Dominique Bouchet has left that world behind for an elegant bistro where contemporary art brightens cream-painted walls, and he seems all the happier for it. On the menu, refined French technique meets country-style cooking, as in leg of lamb braised in wine with roasted cocoa bean and potato puree, or a chocolate éclair with black cherries and ice cream. Sometimes the dishes can get a touch too complicated, but the warm and very professional service makes up for it. If you're feeling indecisive, you might treat yourself to the €98 tasting menu: a succession of six small plates followed by a dessert.
