Great Paris Restaurant: L'Epi d'Or
Restaurant in Paris: L'Epi d'Or By Glenn Cooper - Rentals in Paris April 2008
Today it is getting harder and harder to find a good old fashioned Paris brasserie in the heart of the City of Light. True Francophiles who come to Paris looking to partake in those wonderful truly French dining pleasures have their work set out for them these days.
Luckily one of Paris' wonderful dining experiences is still there after 68 years and going strong at the Epi D'Or, conveniently located in the Palais Royal neighborhood around the corner from the Louvre and Les Halles.
L'Epi d'Or's owner since 1986, Pascaline is there every night catering to her clients, who range from many 'habitues' who eat here several times a week to a variety of newcomers whose smiles immediately illustrate their pleasure as the food makes it to their palates.
Pascaline offers a variety of meat and fish dishes including her famous Gigot de 7 heures (7 hour roasted lamb). There's also daily fresh fish, Fois Gras, an excellent selection of fresh vegetables and deserts that will make your mouth water.
One of her specialties is a Gratin de Fruits Rouges (a mixture of red berries, covered in a light cream and lightly baked which is my personal favorite. EVERY item on the menu is selected personally by her own hands as she does the food markets daily.
As she learned from her grandmother, a Cordon Bleu chef, who ran the business before her, "The key to offering clients a perfect meal is to master everything going into their plates."
These old fashioned values which make this establishment one of Paris' finest, are quickly noted by anybody having the pleasure to dine at l'Epi d'Or.
