Restaurants : Best of the City
Michel Rostang
20, rue Rennequin, Paris 75017 01 47 63 40 77
Description:
17ème ARRONDISSEMENT. It's rare to find a family-owned restaurant with longevity, but Michel Rostang is one of them. Daughter Caroline Rostang (official hostess) shows the same passion for fine French cuisine as did her parents, Marie-Claude and Michel. Caroline proudly informs diners of menu items created by her grandfather, and truffles are introduced into dishes in creative, sumptuous ways. Tiny lobsters prepared on a branch of thyme evoke subtle flavor, and desserts include hot bitter chocolate mousse. The wine list is primarily French, although a few California varieties are available. You can even visit the air conditioned cellar with Sommelier Alain Ronzatti. The kitchen can be seen through a viewing bay, if you want to glimpse the chef's secrets. METRO: Ternes (line 2) Hours: Sep - Jul Mon, Sat 7:30pm-10:30pm; Tue-Fri 12:30pm-2:30pm, 7:30pm-10:30pm
