Les Fables de la Fontaine

St-Germain & Les Invalides


Prices at this elegant cream-coloured restaurant are a serious bargain and the lunchtime menu is an absolute steal. Dishes are true works of art: on-the-shell oysters in vivid green cucumber jelly with green apple and lemon caviar; almond-crusted veal with mashed artichokes and king trumpet mushrooms; and banana soufflé with rum ice cream.
