Cool Paris

New kid on the block, around the corner of the romantic studioloft and very tasty.

The ambiance of the restaurant is convivial: all plates are made for tasting (half the menu is à partager and half is à deguster) while a wall-length banquette, a countertop bar, and a lofty, clean space make for plenty of standing room and encourage intergroup mingling. A place for lovers and friends, Braisenville seems to abide by two credos: 1) patience is a virtue and 2) sharing is caring. Hey, maybe you’ll even make enough friends to order the chef’s colossal masterpiece: the black angus côte de bœuf. Ohhh, the art of braise.
