Terroir Parisien is one of the latest ventures by 3-star Michelin chef Yannick Alléno since his surprising exit from Le Meurice. While Chef Alléno will always be remembered for bringing haute cuisine at the Parisian palace hotel on Rue de Rivoli to new heights, he has now shifted his focus to his other restaurants including 1947 in Courchevel and Terroir Parisien in Paris.
At Terroir Parisien, he's trying to bring back some of the forgotten dishes in the Parisian cuisine by adding a touch of modernism. More importantly, we can expect more than reasonable prices and generous portions here!
(Note: news broke that Chef Yannick Alléno has been named the new executive chef at the Pavillon Ledoyen in August.)
We are looking forward to what Terroir Parisien has to offer.
We started our lunch off with style beginning with an iced romaine lettuce broth and royal-style foie gras. Whether this dish used to be a mainstay in the Parisian cuisine, we had no idea but it's very good (7/10).
But the chilled beetroot soup from Mr Berrurier's farm proved to be even better! I was imagining something like a Borscht but it was so much more.
The texture of the beetroot soup was rich like a velouté and the combination of beetroot cubes, peas, melon etc provided the perfect balance of sweetness and sourness (8.5/10).
Our main courses finally brought us back to earth. The pistachio coated jambonneau, "Les Halles" style was not particularly impressive (5/10).
Less successful was the sliced joint of veal shank with veal juice and cabbage (4/10).
