As you must know if you follow my food recommendations on the blog, I really love the restaurants of the Bonbonnière collection, which have several locations throughout France: in Paris, Brussels, La Baule, Bordeaux, Rennes, La Rochelle, Montpellier, or even Lyon (and many other places that I am forgetting to mention here).
I have already tested several locations in this friendly family (all of which you can find via this link), and today I am introducing the Les Fils à Maman restaurant located in the Parisian neighborhood of Abbesses.
What all these locations have in common: comfort food and nostalgic dishes inspired by our mothers’ home cooking.
Just like at the other locations of this brand, you will find an 80s atmosphere with objects from that era present everywhere in the restaurant (even in the restrooms!) and a very laid-back style that I really appreciate.
What to try:
- As a starter, we shared with the favorite photographer the mister croque with Samos with lardons and walnuts, sucrine lettuce leaves, and a poached egg (€8).
- For the main course, I opted for the very, very comforting macaroni gratin with 18-month aged Comté PDO and shallot compote (€16).
- The favorite photographer tasted the filet mignon in crust served with the same famous Comté macaroni gratin (€19).
- For dessert, we tested the Petit Lu shortbread, Nutella, banana, and whipped cream (€9), quite an experience…
- Another gourmet dessert with the crumble (half Tatin, half crumble) with apples and cinnamon (€8).
- To accompany the meal, you have a nice little selection of wines by the glass between €5 and €6.
The great deal:
On Friday lunchtimes, it is pay-what-you-wish with a lunch menu including a main course + dessert for whatever price you want to pay!!!! Isn’t that great?!
Thanks to Les Fils à Maman for this invitation.
