L’Écluse Carnot — Paris, Champs Élysées

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

A friend called me over to go to this restaurant (hadn’t heard of it before), unfortunately (or fortunately for him) he got a last minute appointment with his CEO so I went there alone (the outcome of that meeting seemed good, so I’m not sorry about it!).

Here’s what it looks like:

I chose the “Tagliatelles au foie gras et jambon Serrano“, 16.50 euros.

The ham was not bad at all (although Iberico is always ten times better…), the pasta was perfectly cooked, with no sauce at all on it but a little butter, probably to leave the room to the ham & foie gras. The foie gras was really good but, huh, not so much of it :-) Overall quite good, maybe a bit expensive given the amount of foie gras, but the service was nice and the place is near to the Champs Élysées. I took a look at the chcolate cake on the next table (seemed a bit dry, but it’s hard and unfair to judge without tasting), the “Perle du Japon” seemed interesting (no idea what it was) but I had to run for a meeting. I’d still say there was not a huge choice of deserts. Pictures of the menu outside:
