Brasserie Lazare Paris

"In the heart of the famous Gare St - Lazare is this elegant railway brasserie, version 2013. It is the brainchild of Éric Frechon, who respects the canons of the genre: French - style devilled eggs, pike quenelles or mackerel in a white wine sauce. Fine French tradition is right on track! Pleasant and very lively." - Michelin Inspector

"For Michelin-starred chef Eric Frechon, opening a 110-seat restaurant in the heart of Paris 's busiest train station (Gare St.-Lazare) was effectively a way to reconnect with his democratic, bistro past. The Bristol Hotel chef is an avowed proponent of no-fuss, simple food executed to perfection. He jumped at the chance to dedicate a space to his special brand of cooking when he was approached by the SNCF transport company to create a restaurantworthy of the station's newly renovated image—a destination for transients and locals alike, open morning, noon, and night. Frechon stepped in to offer a wildly accessible, haute casual menu of French comfort classics in a gorgeous, lofty space that is equal parts café-bar and swish restaurant. In addition to the full menu, expect daily specials, a robust wine selection, and a standout dessert that will have you returning time and again: the Paris-Deauville, a sweet homage to Normandy, his birthplace, in the form of a caramelized, cold soufflé. The classic brasserie has experienced considerable decline in recent years, but with Lazare, Frechon revives the iconic lieu de vie with deft style."

"“On Sunday, I usually want something more traditional, and I go to eat a roast chicken at my restaurant, Brasserie Lazare, or a blanquette de veau in a bistro I really love called Au Petit Tonneau.”" - Jennifer Flowers
