This is a woman about whom we will hear a lot. As a child, she loved to cook and over time saw her father Guy Savoy rise to the top of gastronomy with 3 Michelin stars and 5 Gault Millau toques.

This woman is Caroline Savoy. A few months ago, she opened a restaurant with her friend Bruno Blain, which appeared to be off to a good start.

What is her recipe for this success?

“Our restaurant is a place of pleasure, conviviality, sharing, and joy. And these are values ​​that are dear and precious to us,” says Caroline Savoy, who seems to have created a team that shares her values.

Bruno Blain, on the left, in the 2nd row, and near Caroline Savoy (center), is from the beautiful region of Sancerre where it is difficult to not like the wines and cheeses produced there. He is passionate about cooking, and especially about wines. The chef, Rémi Gonzalez, in the center of the 2nd row, is assisted by Sébastien Touvrey. Rémi Gonzalez learned the trade in prestigious places like Apicius and the Hostellerie de Plaisance. Finally, James Tromeur, 3rd row, is assisted by Joana, and pampers his customers as he did at the Plaza Athenee.

It’s very intimate! A nice matte blue, massive wood, upholstered chairs and benches. The tables are beautiful but sober. In the back room, there is a vintage stereo system. We feel at home here.

GOURMET AND INEXPENSIVE CUISINE

Caroline and Bruno select, make, and serve quality dishes. They offer cuisine that is both gourmet and inexpensive, and carefully select their products from local, artisan producers.

In fact, every day, the restaurant is delivered carefully selected fresh products. The cheese is delivered directly from at least five farms. As for the vegetables, truck farmer Thierry Riant offers his products, as he does for other well-known restaurants. Bio products come from Annie Bertin, partner of the chef Marc Veyrat.

And in the food?

For lunch, I recommend the starter/main course/dessert of the day, at 28 €. The “Market dish” is 19 €. The starter/main course or the main course/dessert is 24 €.

The menu is short and in touch with the spirit of the restaurant. It is renewed every month and consists of 3 starters at 12 €, 3 courses at 22 €, 1 cheese platter, and 3 desserts (8 €).

Vivre is a “bistro” restaurant (gourmet bistro). We also have a 6-service menu offered at 59 € and a food and wine menu at 89 €.

It’s fresh, creative, and accompanied by a very nice wine list. We also liked the design of the table, with the dishes that are refined, sober, and at the same time full of finesse. The decorations are in the same style.

It is a beautiful restaurant that we recommend without hesitation.
