Can't go to Paris without having some soufflé right? My friend had been to Paris recently and highly recommended Le Soufflé. Made a reservation two weeks before coming here, quite the easy process! Just so happened that we were already in Vendôme as well beforehand, so it worked out schedule wise!
A note for people trying to walk in when the restaurant opens. Just because it LOOKS empty does not mean it will be empty. Our reservation was at 7 pm sharp when the restaurant opened. But within 30 minutes, I'm pretty sure every table was booked. It's not hard to book a reservation here, just plan it out ahead of time!
Anywho, this is practically the epitome of French food. Had the French Onion Soup, Escargot, and Green Salad as starters. French Onion Soup was amazing as expected. Escargot was loaded with so much oil and pesto that you would really have no idea that it was snails.
Wanted to try a few soufflés, so we ordered the Beef Bourguignon Soufflé and the Cheese Soufflé with Chicken and Mushroom Sauce. The Beef Bourguignon Soufflé was what I expected, you can definitely taste the red wine gravy here. But the Cheese Soufflé with Chicken and Mushroom Sauce was the one that really surprised me. It wasn't too heavy and a nice flavor to it. Was a huge fan of that one! Also wanted to try the Duck Breast with Peaches and Seasonal Vegetables because I'm a huge fan of duck. Definitely some of the best duck breast I've had. Very well cooked and had a nice glaze to it.
Lastly, can't leave without a dessert soufflé right? Had the Crème Brûlée with White Chocolate Heart. Huge fan, although I wish there was a little more crème brûlée taste in it.
Service is impeccable, as I would have expected from a nice French restaurant. They all speak English here, which is probably needed since there are so many foreigners that come here. Everyone here is really nice and we were well taken care of.
Ambience is ok, but this isn't really a fine dining establishment. Very bright inside and the tables are pretty cramped together since the restaurant itself is not very big.
Very happy to have tried Le Soufflé. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Paris.
