Le Saut du Loup (Musée des Arts Déco)



Recently opened, Le Saut du Loup (name refering to an architectural term for a transparency separating an interior from an exterior, although maintaining a harmony between the two - ie, the restaurant and the Tuilleries gardens) , is the hottest museum restaurant in Paris. The chef, Pascal Bernier, cut his teeth at Lasserre, the formely one-star Clovis , and then worked as a consultant for the likes of the Atelier de Renault. The upper dining room is by far the best place to eat, with lots of black, white and reflective and transparent surfaces. The cuisine is in the traditional/modern vein, and although a little pricey, was worth it for an interesting lunch.


Amuse bouche of crème de topinambour (cream of Jerusalem artichokes)

Crème de carrot avec "mouillette" de cumin (Carrot cream soup with cumin dipping breadstick


Pasta with ham and parmesan cream sauce

and funky square toilets....!
