La Brasserie Lorraine – Paris (75008) en

Why am I writing about Brasserie Lorraine on 716 you ask? It’s true that it is expensive , but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t deliver on all the points that it promises, there are no treacheries on the product, we’re at a solid and welcoming brasserie. They’re disappearing.

I went regularly to Gallopin in front of the Bourse, but since the owners changed, I walked away. The staff itself, a really good one, stayed for the most part, but I didn’t like the rise in prices and the changes made by the new owners at all. Anyways.                 Brasseries, solid brasseries to which I would send clients without a moment’s thought, I don’t know that many. Recently I had clients ask me where they could go to eat good oysters: after going through a few places in my head ( also using Figaroscope’s ranking as reference ), my heart took over, the place where I enjoyed myself most eating oysters was at Brasserie Lorraine, nothing to do about it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     I wondered if my memories still corresponded to reality. A quick glance at the comments online confirmed that it was still the case.

It’s one of their strong points: a smiling and welcoming staff that doesn’t take anything for granted.

Appetizers                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Before walking in, I had asked the openers outside if they had their favorites oysters: the specials #3 from Normandy Utah and we mixed them with specials #3 Saint-Vaast.

Fries

There was also a full bowl of seasoned mixed green salad, I had asked half fries, half salad.

“Label Red” salmon from Scotland,  vegetable tart tatin

Strawberry Mille feuilles  14,50
Also perfect.

An expensive experience, but that isn’t stealing from anyone. The menu is solid, so are the dishes, I hope that you understand me: here’s a brasserie to which we can turn to when the occasion presents itself.
