In the collective imagination of Paris’s great brasseries, La Lorraine holds a special place—thanks to its location, its distinguished tradition, and the assurance—albeit at prices that are high but expected—that you’ll find the finest offerings in this category: just look at the oysters: Cadoret, Ancellin, Saint-Vaast Tatihou, Dupuch—all trusted names that speak to connoisseurs. The menu is, of course, extensive, with dishes prepared to the highest standard: Label Rouge snails, fish soup, mussels in Chablis, salmon with beurre blanc, wild sea bass in a salt crust, grilled lobster, Châteaubriand with Béarnaise sauce, Brasserie millefeuille, Grand Marnier soufflé… The wine selection is classic, and the service—Lorraine-style—is Parisian and flawless.
