Filet Mignon with Grenailles Potatoes – Euro 32.00
Presented at this new Parisian dining establishment is very standard menu but using the very best ingredients. This steak was extremely tender, breaking apart with the slight movement of my knife (which is also pictured above). The baby pebble like potatoes were also an excellent supplement. They were firm and did not crumble. One thing that was missing, in this reviewers opinion, was an option of sauces or mustards to accompany the dish. The sauce as shown above was merely as it seems for presentation purposes as it was stuck to the plate.
There are a list of side dishes you may choose from as well including: green salad, fries, quinoa, bushel of spinach, green beans, mashed potatoes, and grenailles potatoes. All sides were Euro 8.00.

Beef Tenderloin With Gravy and Chips
The menu at this particular French brasserie changes daily, but once in awhile you may catch this delicious entree. The entree consists of beef tenderloin that is very tender at medium rare that is immersed in gravy and their special house sauce. On top of the tenderloin are puffed-up potato chips. The combination of chewy beef, crispy potato chips, and foamy potato puree is fabulous.

Lyonnaise Potatoes
Sliced potatoes that are slightly fried and mixed with sauteeed onions. It is a great hearty compliment to your steak, if you choose to order one. Not much more can be said.
