Grand Bistro de Breteuil

This Grand Bistro is what happens when two stars collide. On the one hand, you have the impressive pedigree of the Doerr family empire of grand Parisian restaurants and bistros, and now you have the all-new menu redone by the Purcel Brothers, legends in the French culinary world (formerly of the Maison Blanche). This neighborhood is one of stately old Haussmanian buildings where servants had proper quarters in the buildings. It is back behind Invalides and is ever so residential. In the warmer months, take advantage of the leafy, shaded terrace seating where you can sip your glass of wine and nipple on amuse buches as the courses come served by white-gloved waiters. This is classic bistro fare, with a Purcel flare, so expect organic grass-fed beef steaks flame-grilled to perfection, french fries made from new potatoes from Noirmoutier, pulled duck breast served with roast peaches, rosemary-infused rack of lamb.
