Aux Crus de Bourgogne – Paris
Aux Crus de Bourgogne might just be our favorite restaurant in Paris. Featuring high quality cuts of steak and chicken prepared with luxurious sauces or slowly braised in stews. Most of the the sauces and stews utilize unique culinary ingredients such a chanterelle, morelle and porcini mushrooms. The menu reads like a Julia Childs cookbook. But it’s not just the food. Everything from the demeanor and aptitude of the waiters to the weight of the silverware and white tablecloths shouts sophistication. It’s a beautiful marriage between classic country French and sophisticated Parisian presentation. This one should be top of the list.
