- Quai Voltaire, 7e arrondissement
- Family operation
- French classics, no concept
- Reservation required
Le Voltaire sits on the quai opposite the Louvre and has been run as a French classic brasserie for forty years without a single concept shift. The menu is short, the wine list is unexpectedly deep, and the room is the right scale for a serious dinner between four and eight people.
Book the corner table by the window, take the sole meunière and the côte de bœuf for two, drink burgundy. The dinner is the answer for the New York client who has done the palaces and wants the version of Paris that exists when no one is performing.
The dinner for the third trip.
