Macéo

$$$, Modern French, Louvre/Tuileries

User Rating: **** 4.4

Fodor's Review:

Natural light streams through this restaurant, while a broad, curved staircase leads to a spacious upstairs salon. With reasonably priced set menus ranging from EUR 29 to EUR 38, this is an ideal spot for a relaxed meal after a day at the Louvre. It's also a hit with vegetarians, as chef Thierry Bourbonnais whips up a meatless set menu with two starter and three main course options -- perhaps a Moroccan-style vegetable pastilla (phyllo-dough pie) to start, followed by a crêpe filled with wild mushrooms, served with roasted endive (though his efforts can be a little hit-or-miss). Meat lovers might sink their teeth into Lozère lamb with herb tabbouleh and mango. The wine list spotlights little-known producers alongside the big names -- as befits this sister restaurant to Willi's Wine Bar.

Classic French cuisine with exotic touch

Posted by ls1970 from Paris, France on 4/9/08

The vegetarian menu is perfect for a light lunch, fine and tasty. The other dishes mix the classic French cuisine with an exotic touch, but always in a balanced way.
