Le Grand Colbert - Review - 1st Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation

"From the sky-high ceilings to the intricate tiled floor to the Art Nouveau sconces, Le Grand Colbert is the very picture of a classic French dining room. It’s no wonder it was given a starring role in Something’s Gotta Give. Unfortunately, Diane Keaton would be sorely disappointed by what’s meant to be Paris’ best roast chicken: Reheated in a rich yet salty gravy, its flabby skin is far from worthy of its silver screen début. Opt instead for a fish dish as impressive as the surroundings, like a towering seafood platter or buttery sole meunière filleted tableside. Split an order of perfect golden fries, and don’t miss one of the housemade classic pastries for dessert. photo credit: Wenkang Shan" - Emily Monaco
