Right now, I’ve developed a real passion for lunches in Parisian hotels. I had already reviewed these establishments in terms of their bars and sampled their delicious cocktails. Now, I’m discovering their dining tables, and I am not disappointed!
I therefore went to test the secret terrace of the Hôtel Le 5 Codet at the very beginning of this autumn, and I had the extraordinary luck of being able to eat outside, thanks to the mild weather we’ve been having lately.
The restaurant decor is muffled and cozy, and the terrace/patio really gives you the feeling of being a privileged guest, sheltered in the cocoon that this inner courtyard forms.
The service is impeccable and attentive (you can clearly feel that you are in a high-standard establishment), and behind the stove, chef Ricardo Lucio unearths seasonal products (yes, I ate porcini mushrooms again, but what can you do, I love them!) and whips up a refined and creative cuisine.
To try:
- As a starter, the Cream of mushroom soup with some beautiful porcini mushrooms and lovely edible flowers for a touch of color.
- The catch of the day, pollack with glazed vegetables and seasonal mashed potatoes (24 €).
- A succulent and melt-in-the-mouth seasonal risotto, so naturally with mushrooms (25 €).
- The orange tart (12 €), don’t miss out on this dessert, it would be a shame…
The top tip: the lunch menu from Monday to Friday from 12 pm to 3 pm, which changes every 2 weeks according to seasonal products, at 35 € with starter + main or main + dessert.
Price: a la carte starter between 16 and 24 € / main between 32 and 37 € / dessert between 12 and 14 €
Hôtel Le 5 Codet 5 Rue Louis Codet, 75007 Paris
