Dominique Bouchet

One of my favorite restaurants in Paris is Restaurant Dominique Bouchet, which also happens to be the name of the chef/owner.  On a visit to Paris last summer, I met my friend Carol there for dinner.  The restaurant itself is beautiful inside – with an old stone wall, mahogany furniture and nice paintings.  But the real attraction is the food. 

We started with two appetizers - duck foie gras with figs and chilled pea veloute with almonds and summer truffles.  Both dishes were fresh and extremely flavorful.  The foie gras is house-made and was delectable.  The summer truffles were fragrant and delicious.  Next we had a tender leg of lamb that had been roasted for seven hours.  It was melt-in-the-mouth tender.  We also had baked john dory fish with rosemary and chanterelle mushrooms.  Everything was perfectly cooked and so tasty. 

We also splurged on a cheese plate that night, followed by desserts.  We had a white peach poached in vanilla syrup as well as a fantastic trio of chocolate desserts. 

To top it off, Chef Bouchet came over to our table and talked with us for several minutes.  It was a really nice personal touch to the evening.

If you are looking for a special meal at fairly reasonable prices, this is your place.
