Located on the Place de la Bastille, Brasserie Les Grandes Marches has had a turbulent past in recent years. Taken over by the Joulie group in November 2012, the place is enjoying a new lease of life. A table !
The big steps
On the terrace that evening, a rather elegant clientele of thirty-somethings. The weather is mixed, but the place is full. We opt for a cool drink with a beautiful view of the Place de la Bastille. Then it’s time to order and make your Cornelian choices. For starters, I’m tempted by a succulent red tuna tartare with sesame seeds. The menu is full of temptations. One of the brasserie’s strengths is its seafood section. Oyster lovers will be delighted.
Tuna tartare!
We follow with a very tender fillet of beef, cooked to perfection. A classic choice.
For dessert, we finish with a Panna Cotta with a scoop of Barbapapa ice cream. Service was decent without being flamboyant. A pleasant evening.
Lemongrass panna cotta
All in all, Les Grandes Marches is a sure bet. A quality brasserie with a menu that’s not extravagant in terms of boldness, but which can’t fail to delight gourmets.
