Wonderful Dining in Paris, ASPIC Restaurants♥

Located In 24 rue de la Tour D Auvergne, 75009 Paris France I don't words can truly do justice to how great our evening at ASPIC was, but here goes nothing... My companion and I arrived punctually for the 19:30 sitting. We were greeted warmly by a friendly host who immediately made us feel at ease and laid the foundations for what we had in store. Immediately the front of house team built a rapport with us through their highly personable interactions. Shortly thereafter we were presented with our first course, as well as our first wine pairing. Immediately we were satisfied and knew the six dishes to follow would be sublime. The food just kept getting better and better with every dish, with the enjoyment levels building until we were in outright euphoria come the final few dishes. The atmosphere in the small venue reflected this also, we could feel the tables around us starting to become more energised as we built up to the crescendo. The whole experience felt like a carefully paced and planned journey. Like a fine piece of music, the peaks and troughs were spaced out to perfection. The metronomic replacement of bread (which in itself was perfect) provided the beat, whilst the dishes took the place of choruses. The chefs bringing the food to us directly and explaining passionately what they had created for us bridged the gaps. Whilst the food took centre stage and was the main takeaway from the evening, the wider experience elevated the evening to perfection levels. ASPIC craft food as art, and distribute it directly to the end recipient, who on the evening in question, was thankfully a very happy me! Lately, in Paris, finding a taxi has become quite challenging and we needed 2 taxis! Anyway we made it on time, as it was emphasized! The place is small and unassuming, but the meal was excellent. Subtle flavors, refined executions, superb quality of ingredients, notably the langoustines and the pork (pluma). Very good service and a nice chat with the cook completed our experience…however we had even more trouble finding transport to go back, because it had started to rain! After 2 of us managed to grab a passing taxi, the remaining three were contemplating spending the night on the banquettes ! The very nice and helpful manager then went out in the rain and, after a while, came back with a taxi! We were extremely grateful and we left as very satisfied customers! #newphotographer#travelinspiration#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#decembertravel#deliciousfood#couplestrip#awesomepic#bestislandtraveltowns#romanticrestaurant#seafoodfeast#culturalattractions#halloween2021
