The Soufflé
With a classic and warm atmosphere, a meticulously neat kitchen, and high-quality service, Le Soufflé offers a remarkable dining experience. We have tested it out for you.
A Family Business
Le Soufflé has been in existence for 56 years, originally created by Mr. Faure. He wanted the restaurant to remain in the family and passed it down to Eric Josnard, the father of the current owner, Nicolas Josnard, who has been running it for the past 10 years. Nicolas works both in the dining room and the kitchen alongside his chef, Mr. Elmernissi, ensuring top-notch service for the clients. Twice a week, Nicolas personally selects fresh produce from Rungis, and deliveries are made three times a week to the restaurant. The wines are carefully sourced by his father, a wine enthusiast who spends part of his holidays in Bordeaux or Burgundy discovering new wines to feature on the menu.
The Menu
Contrary to what some might think, the well-supplied menu at Le Soufflé offers more than just soufflés, and it is renewed twice a year. The menu features:
Starters (6 options): p.ex. Chestnut velouté with seared foie gras (€15) (seasonal) or Four soufflé starters
Main Dishes:
- 4 meats
- 4 fish
- 12 salted soufflés, including:
- Henri IV soufflé with poultry mushroom sauce (€17), a cheese soufflé served with a gravy boat incorporated by the waiter
Desserts (12 options)
Weekday Lunch Menu (€29):
- Starter-main dish-dessert with a choice of a salty soufflé or the dish of the day
- A sweet soufflé or dessert of the day
- A glass of wine and a coffee
Other Menus: Soufflé menu (€37) or Tasting menu (€46)
Accompanied by a glass of Bourgueil 2013 (€6), the combination of flavors is perfect. The service is warm and attentive, with a team of waiters in sober black outfits.
This meal convinced me that an all-soufflé meal offers many variations in styles and tastes. We had a great time at this restaurant, surrounded by a family and traditional atmosphere where the love of a job well done is evident. It is better to book in advance.
