Le Petit Marguery !
the traditionnal French gourmet cuisine restaurant (75013)

Some believe this restaurant is hidding withing a time free zone in the heart of the Paris 13th borrough. It is so «like it used to be» it's frightening... But there is a mistery indeed as evrything changes (Chef, management) , but... Nothing changes (decor, cuisine, audience, service)! .

Years ago, the Cousin brothers were distillating the cream of the cream of the french traditionnal cuisine to the big mouth gourmets of Paris. Whatever happened in the history of French cuisine, their menu would remain "ultra traditional" full of calories and tastefull recipes. decade after decade, the Cousin and their successors kept their battleship at the edge of the french traditionnal gourmet cuisine. Lately a new team took over and tidied the place up, putted an extra shine on the 1900's decor but thanks god for that didn't change the fundamental of the house.... the only news is that there is no news and all is good ! The very same terrines de faisan, foie gras on toast, cassolettes of snails, gras-double, ris de veau, rognons à la graine de moutarde, gravy with all the disihes, strong on cream, butter and more gravy, you'll need Burt Lancaster's jaws to get through it served by some Inspecteur Clouseau like waiters ;-) You're still reading ? great... there is more to come, like game on season, and will you dare for the soufflé Grand Marnier ? It is a monument indeed.
