Amazing food + service …..perfect first meal in Paris….we will be back!

Around 30-35 years ago I had the unique opportunity to be a front row witness to the early rise of someone who would go on years later to become a first ballot hall-of-fame NFL wide receiver. When you saw what he could do…it was truly great - and you knew it. Over the last 35 years I have been to many good places, had good food, and have been blessed to experience many good things in life. Last night I was once again reminded of what is the definition of Great. Chef Youssef Marzouk and his team at Aldehyde - from a small, unpretentious space on Rue du Pont Louis Philippe in Paris are taking you on the gastronomical journey of a lifetime. Like 30 years ago, I didn’t necessarily know what it took to be an NFL hall of famer - but you knew it when you saw it. Neither do I know what it takes to accumulate stars in this world of French cuisine, but I will bet the house that this is it!! I encourage you to go now and see and taste the magic for yourself and be an early witness to someone and something that is truly Great!!

Solo dining can feel a little odd but I was looked after by Arthur who made me feel very welcome. Chatty, friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. Good portions, well cooked and very good value. Would visit again.
