At Biondi's, the sun shines on the 40-seat terrace and on the plates, to the delight of native Parisians, tourists and gourmets of all kinds. At the helm of this bistronomic restaurant is Argentinian chef Fernando de Tomaso, who brings the culinary richness of his native country to his dishes.
Every lunchtime, Biondi offers anaffordable lunch menu: €20.50 starter/main course/dessert with a glass of wine! Fernande de Tomaso's authentic and particularly tasty cuisine is within everyone's reach.
In the sunshine, we take note of the day's menu, salivating. On the day we visited, the starters were smoked herring and steamed potatoes, or beef and celery anticucho. Anticucho is a South American specialty, marinated and grilled beef, a real delicacy.
We also take a look at Biondi 's menu and choose 2 starters to share with our guests: the unmissable empanadas de carne in their meat jus (15€) and octopus a la plancha with hummus and Kalamata olives (23€), grilled on the outside and still melt-in-your-mouth on the inside. A true delight.
We return to the lunch menu with theloin of pork and mashed potatoes, which we choose over the very tempting sea bream à la plancha, zucchini and spinach. We don't regret our choice: the pig is cooked to perfection, and we savor every last crumb.
On the à la carte menu, you can also opt for the skirt steak (28€), a noble piece of meat, carefully sliced and accompanied by a lovely plate of homemade mashed potatoes, whole shallots confit, amazing manioc chips and chimichurri sauce, of course.
To finish on a sweet note, enjoy a dulce de leche and coconut tart, the dessert of the day, and a dessert featuring red fruits, lime and meringue. The verdict: for an exotic lunch at an affordable price in the sunshine, head to Biondi!
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
