The story
Under Chef Eric, La Broche in Paris presents a polished French cuisine defined by accessible gastronomy. The Gault&Millau score underscores the French kitchen's commitment to quality ingredients and precise execution. Guests navigate a "Menu Gourmand" format, choosing between single or double starters alongside a main and dessert, available to the entire table, allowing Eric to showcase versatility across courses.
Signature dishes highlight creative pairings, such as house foie gras served with apricot toast or a watermelon jelly featuring shrimp, cecina, and pomegranate. Savory selections reveal a French cooking style that balances tradition with unexpected accents, including turmeric and ginger clams, a moment fish fillet accompanied by peanut pistou and polenta, and filet of Malines chicken glazed with coffee sauce and girolles.
Sweet conclusions arrive via seasonal compositions like a strawberry carpaccio with vanilla ice cream and raspberry coulis, or a lemon crémeux paired with kalamansi sorbet. A regional cheese board offers a traditional interlude before the final dessert.
Midday visitors can join "Le Marché du midi," a complete three-course experience priced at 32 euros, which includes coffee and mignardises. The lunch service operates strictly from 12:00 to 14:00, ending promptly at 16:00. Evening dining runs from 18:30 to 20:30, with Mondays evenings and closed Tuesdays through Thursdays.
