We just lately worte about our pretty go to to the Bourdelle Museum close to our lodges which has been just lately renovated (spoiler: it’s superb, and entrance is free). One of many new options is a restaurant located in what was the residence belonging to Rhodia Bourdelle, the sculptor’s daughter.
With its massive terrace and ethereal essential room, the restaurant seemed like someplace we simply needed to check out, and now we now have! Right here’s what we thought…
In the event you haven’t but learn the article about our go to to the very good Bourdelle Museum, together with dozens of lush images, we’d advise you to take a fast look right here. It truly is price a go to!
The article confirmed the restaurant and talked about that we couldn’t wait to get down there and check the “South American delicacies with hints of the sculptor’s native southwest of France”. The venue is managed by the Isana Group that has two different stylish eating places within the twelfth arrondissement of Paris.
The restaurant has one essential room with principally shared tables, plus a big terrace (we’re assuming it will likely be heated in winter) serving natural, seasonal dishes at typically affordable costs (menu right here).
We began our meal with a few empanadas every (small baked turnovers with pastry and a filling, one of many restaurant’s classics apparently) obtainable in two totally different flavours that change each day – for us it was feta / spinach (served chilly) and meat / cheese / corn (served warmed).
A very good begin and never too heavy.
For the principle dishes we selected a combined miso ceviche with wild pollock (and salmon, it appeared), lime, pink onion, ají limón (lemon drop pepper, fairly sturdy), lettuce hearts and candy potato.
It was a really vibrant dish, copiously served, with the spiciness very current however a diverse, balanced mixture of tastes.
The opposite dish was polenta combined with cream and served with greens (candy potato, broccoli, pink pepper…) as soon as once more generously served.
Once more, the colors of the greens made it a really fairly dish, and easily wanting on the images ought to make your mouth water!
Though we weren’t actually hungry any extra, we determined to strive the desserts (for you, pricey readers). The “bowl” of chia (truly a small pot) wasn’t dangerous in any respect, however at 8€ we discovered it just a little costly. As for the chocolate mousse, made with out egg however together with maracuyá (ardour fruit), was actually gentle however solely actually crammed half of the ramekin it was served in (the remaining was biscuit).
So whereas the principle dishes are fairly massive, the desserts – as scrumptious as they might be – are maybe not such good worth.
The Rhodia is a good and weird place to style South American delicacies. A 3-course lunch with out drinks will value you round 30€ per individual, which can appear just a little excessive, however we expect it’s price it for the setting and high quality substances used.
The ready workers had been just a little flustered the day of our go to, and never notably fast, and our desserts weren’t the sturdy end we had hoped for, however we’d be completely happy to return, maybe to strive the brunch served solely at weekends (even whether it is at 28€).
You may additionally wish to know that meals is obtainable each earlier than and after lunch (which finishes at 3pm), a lowered collection of totally different dishes you can take a look at right here.
The Rhodia (right here) is open each day besides Mondays from 10am-6pm
Brunch weekends from 11.30am-4pm
