Aux Lyonnais
Aux Lyonnais (Alain Ducasse)

Maybe just go for desert (Chartreuse Souffle)
(closed over the holidays)
We don’t spend much time in Paris going to fancy restaurants. I took a career detour to culinary school, spent seven years as a chef in high-end restaurants and am not easily impressed by salty, rich, fatty foods. However during a rare lunch at an Alain Ducasse restaurant, I had a Chartreuse Souffle for desert which made a lasting impression. An exquisitely executed souffle, flavored with the perfect amount of Chartreuse liquor.
While in Paris for the Marathon, we wore running shoes to Aux Lyonnais and were seated back in the empty bar area
