Summer season simply retains on hanging on, and we’re not mad about it. Time to go for a terrace, and why not the massive (double) terrace of the Maison Cluny, a brand new restaurant simply behind the Cluny Museum (and thus, very near our inns), the place rigorously ready and superbly introduced French delicacies awaits you.
Within the tranquil aspect avenue, the restaurant’s two terraces are simply subsequent to the museum’s gardens, and also you’ll really feel calmed by its greenery all through your meal.
Additionally, it’s not day by day you could have lunch subsequent to a thirteenth century vestige!
And naturally, when summer season lastly involves an finish, the restaurant’s lengthy primary room will welcome you with its comfy seats, giant home windows and cosy mezzanine.
We began our meal with a little bit aperitif – a spritz and a martini – and one thing to nibble, some slices “espresso bellavitano” cheddar (i.e. hand-rubbed with freshly-roasted espresso), served with crunchy warmed bread (delivered each day by famend Parisian baker Thierry Breton).
Sadly, the pimientos de Padrón we wished weren’t obtainable. Subsequent time eh?…
For the principle dishes we selected:
– rascasse with chermoula, completely cooked and served with just-cooked and uncooked greens, finely sliced (nice presentation too), and
– lemon and rosemary roasted greens roasted with halved falafel balls, mixture of flavours and textures with a stunning and agreeable trace of lemon in sure bites.
Each dishes had been efficiently and delicately ready, which can clarify their price, barely increased than sure different eating places.
And to complete off what had been a really nice meal, we ordered:
– chocolate mousse ‘clean, with caramelised treats’ (pistachios, pecan nuts…), generously served and really clearly made with love in-house, and
– a lemon cream, with vanilla lettuce hearts and grilled pine nuts. Sure, you learn that proper – this dessert consists of lettuce coronary heart leaves, one thing we had by no means encountered earlier than however surprisingly good, particularly with the vanilla-infused sugar sprinkled over them. Mixed with the tart lemon style, the ensemble was refreshing in all the correct methods.
It’s apparent that Maison Cluny and their chef Mathieu Nadjar pay particular consideration to their creations, each of their preparation and presentation, and all the things is made on-site. They’ve truly simply been chosen as top-of-the-line bistrots in Paris by the revered Information Lebey.
For a top quality meal that features a few good surprises, it’s a straightforward alternative that received’t disappoint.
