The salmon and the steak were absolutely delicious (the bernaise sauce was hardly touched because all the steak needed was a touch of salt).
Long story short: late in the evening, alone, and underdressed but with a massive craving for mashed potatoes, I walked into this restaurant. Logically, I was ready to be turned down considering the above. Surprisingly, I wasn't. Moreover, they offered to adapt the dishes to meet my needs. As a rule, I do not savour food much. But each rule has an exception, and Drouant delivered. Every mashed potato dish will forever be compared to theirs. And the fish? It was simply melting on the tongue. I have no idea what was inside the green sauce, but I couldn't get enough. Bravo to the chef and the team 👏 You will definitely see me again next time I am in Paris.
Food 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Service 8/10 Overall, a great experience. The food was fresh and excellent from start to finish — we had oysters, snails, foie gras, tartare de boeuf, and château filet, and we were impressed by the quality and taste of every dish. The atmosphere was also very enjoyable: the music wasn’t too loud, making it easy to hold a conversation with a comfortable level of background noise. The only downside was the service. Our server always seemed rushed whenever she came to our table, almost as if she was on a time limit. Once our final dishes were served, we never saw her again, even after mentioning that one of the side vegetable orders was missing. She told us it was coming, but after waiting 25 minutes, we had to ask another server, who brought it within 10 minutes. It was a bit disappointing, especially since we could clearly see her chatting with guests at other tables. Thankfully, the front desk hostess was extremely kind and welcoming, and even offered to take photos for us, which ended the evening on a positive note.
Food was excellent. Interesting way of presenting white asparagus. Chocolate desert was heavenly. Waiter was excellent in describing then dishes which greatly helped in making our decisions
I had the lunch 3 course menu for €48 and everything was delicious. The portion sizes were generous and the food came out very quickly. All of the waitstaff were lovely and attentive.
