Crom’Exquis
Located on rue d’Astorg in Paris’s 8th arrondissement, Pierre Meneau’s Crom’Exquis offers refined, surprising cuisine.
It was with some enthusiasm that I went to Crom’Exquis a few weeks ago. I had already been there a few years ago and had rather fond memories of it. The place closed its doors for several months following a fire and has now been given a facelift. The restaurant is well worth a visit for the cuisine orchestrated by chef Pierre Meneau, son of the famous Michelin-starred chef Marc Meneau and trained in the excellence of French cuisine. He’s truly an atypical chef, cultured and rough around the edges. A very endearing man. A true enthusiast!
The Crom’Exquis menu offers a gourmet selection of cromesquis, the famous bite-sized morsels that inspired the restaurant’s name. They must be eaten in a single bite. There are also creative dishes made with the finest seasonal produce, scrupulously selected by the chef for their freshness and authentic flavors. The beef tartar with caviar is a delight.

The setting reflects the restaurant’s menu: refined and meticulous. The deliberately retro vermilion banquettes sit naturally alongside contemporary and modern furniture by French designers and artists. The atmosphere in the dining room is very pleasant.

At lunchtime, enjoy a menu for under 40 euros, ideal for a business lunch or a break from shopping on the Grands Boulevards. In the evening, the atmosphere is more intimate, although the dishes lose none of their boldness and creativity. Renowned gastronomic guide Gilles Pudlowski also raved about the address.
