Tearing yourself away from the lobby piano bar may be difficult, but once you step into Chez Colette, you'll soon forget show tunes even existed. One of the most underrated restaurants in the city, Colette is easy on the senses: suffuse yourself in the fin de siècle brasserie atmosphere, admire the antique Parisian posters on the walls, read the story of Colette from the menu, and then enjoy the chef’s varied cuisine. The menu is stacked with Gallic classics: escargots, onion soup and house pâté might warm your heart, but save room for polenta soufflé, tuna tartare or wild striped bass with mushrooms. With a decent bottle of wine from the well-priced list, you can have “Those pleasures so lightly called physical,” as Colette would say. This dining room is good for business meetings because it is large and quietly chic. |
