This was the BEST dinner we had in Paris. We went from a recommendation in Gourmet magazine. Man, they were right beyond words! It was totally packed, and after about a 20 minute wait, we were seated and looking at their large menu all in French (with no English help). Since it was Greek to us (I only speak French a little, un peu), we ordered what might seem good. Since the people next to us said nothing was bad there, we didn’t worry if would be good or not. I had the beef in a red wine reduction sauce which was just plain sick. I mean I never wanted to stop eating! You can tell when a restaurant is good quality. Just even the bread (in my case the first and most important indication), was incredible. Since our dinner was so heavy, we decided on their special dessert that evening: a light strawberries in a red wine sauce. This was so simple, yet incredible refreshing and satisfying to all my sweet taste buds. I highly recommend you make a stop at this St. Germain dining spot. Bon appetit!
