La Grande Crèmerie

St-Germain & Les Invalides


The success of Serge Mathieu's tiny cave gourmande (gourmet wine cellar), La Crèmerie, prompted the opening of this chic rustic space serving the earthy flavours of the French countryside on platters (Saint Guénolé sardines with seaweed wakame, 24-month-aged Comté cheese, fresh goat's cheese with honey, black truffle-spiced ham) designed for sharing, along with splendid vins naturels (natural wines).
