Le Petit Lutetia

107 rue de Sèvres, 75006 Paris

There are bistros, there are brasseries, and then there is Le Petit Lutetia. You could scour this menu for one faulty ingredient, you won’t find it. Starters, mains, every note is played with elegance and fortitude. From the moment you walk in, you are immediately struck by classic French beauty, aromas of perfectly seasoned delights and an energy that is so uniquely Parisian, you would think you were meeting Alain Delon for a quick bite that lasts all evening.

Let me make this as easy as possible for you. If the lobster spaghetti in tomato bisque is available, you’re getting it. Few dishes are non-negotiable, but this is one. It arrives in it’s own cocotte and is served dose by does table-side, so you can catch your breath. It’s not often a French place can create a pasta with this level of precision and miraculous execution, but I have never had a better pasta, even in anywhere in Italy. The kind of dish that ruins you…in the best possible way.
