Recently taken over by a brother and sister, Aux Crus de Bourgogne, previously in the same family for 4 generations, has been given a new lease of life, with a completely new interior - while retaining the charm of its authentic counter, mirrors, wood-panelled walls and storefront overlooking a quiet street in the Montorgueil district.
At lunchtime on weekdays, you can enjoy a €20 menu on the large terrace. Otherwise, you can pick up some of the great classics of French gastronomy from the brand-new summer menu, expertly executed. Snails, eggs mayonnaise, frogs' legs, beef tartar, shallot onglet, cod with beurre blanc, homemade mashed potatoes... Traditional French cuisine in all its splendor, which immediately justifies why the address wasAndré Malraux 's landmark in his day.
In the sunshine that day, we fall for the starter of the day, generous mimosa eggs (8€). A great appetizer before the dish of the day, the excellent sole meunière (39€), served in the purest tradition and raised in front of you by the waiter. For dessert, we opt for the house classic, the Grand Marnier soufflé (14€), generous with Grand Marnier and as light as a cloud. Happiness at the end of a spoon.
This autumn, Aux Crus de Bourgogne will be offering a selection of savoury soufflés (comté, truffle) and sweet ones (caramel, seasonal red fruits), for fans of these airy treats. And in a few months' time, the restaurant will also unveil private lounges upstairs, where friends and family can enjoy traditional dishes in an authentic setting.
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
