V like Vardon: a top address in Paris

A good address opened in Paris recently, in the chic golden triangle, at 39 avenue George V: Frédéric Vardon, the right hand of Alain Ducasse - not forgetting Jean-Pierre Morot-Gaudry, Alain Dutournier and Alain Chapel – was the genius behind the success of the Spoons, Benoit Tokyo, Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester… Today he welcomes us in a unique place where he signs a French neo-classical cuisine. A cuisine rooted in the French culinary heritage

 


Taking root in the culinary tradition does not exclude the use of new technologies, which open the door to contemporary interpretations. At the base are products that go with the seasons and which come from meticulously selected producers. This restaurant, the 39V, is a discovery for gourmets, looking for novelty and variety without sacrificing classicism. From an organic poached egg to blue lobster and macaroni with Comté cheese. As well as delicious desserts like a gâche vendéenne – French toast style or milk jam ice cream. The wine cellar offers a great selection of wines and champagnes available by the glass and carafe.




Top location ...

The restaurant is located on the 6th, and last floor, of a Haussmann-style building, overlooking a courtyard with a capacity limited to 50 places, which makes the restaurant an intimate place, quite rare in this neighbourhood. The interior is signed Marcelo Joulia, creator of the Naço Architectures agency, who has given this place its own particular style, with its huge windows offering a panorama of the rooftops of Paris and its open cuisine on the other side of the courtyard to witness the talented chef at work. The 39V restaurant is a successful mix of gastronomic excellence and a refined ambiance for a very pleasant parenthesis. Congratulations, Mr Vardon!

My opinion:
An interesting setting, a discrete entry and original design and decor.
The circular side of the room is original and the view of the kitchen across the court gives it a sympathetic "Home" style
The products are tasty, the service is friendly and simple without being pompous and we look forward that the room is soundproofed which will be any time now.
Prices for this restaurant, on this location, are really affordable and it is advisable to reserve your table for lunch or dinner.
