Chef de
cuisine : Joël Garault
The cuisine is a passion and like all passions, has to be
cultivated states Joël Garault. A cuisine which pays tribute to
the season's products to offer the maximum flavor at the
best time. «I would say that cuisine must have character,
be nice to the eye and finally, respect the vatious components
which make it a receipt» Menus : 45/60 Euro - Carte
50/100 Euro
As you
would expect, Montparnasse has a plethora of restaurants
that serve after
midnight, including notably the art deco brasserie
La Coupole, open for service until 1.30 a.m. and which is still
good value for a plate of half a dozen oysters and a glass
of chilled white wine at around EUR 20. The menu, however,
includes a wide choice of restaurant and brasserie dishes,
with plenty for a full course blow-out, and the atmosphere
of several hundred clients under one, domed roof, is exceptional.
The noise can be too. This is a site steeped in cultural history – the
long velvet benches were once frequented by Picasso, Modigliani,
Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. Le Select lies just
across the road and serves delicious omelettes and salads for
around EUR 10, in a more intimate style.
