La Tavern

La Tavern is a stylish restaurant located near the Opera Comique. Following the theater tradition of taking a soup a l’oignon after an opera, we headed toward La Tavern after Zazou.

The Scene

Beautifully decorated restaurant with chandeliers. A semi circular stairway is in the middle of the restaurant, giving the restaurant the look of a tavern. The restaurant ambiance is more familiar like, not for the trendy, young crowd.

The Food

Even though the intentions of the group were to have French onion soups, half of the group decided to be innovative and break the tradition. The French onion soup was disappointing; however, the quiches and salads seemed to be good. The dessert menu was unbelievable, providing more than 10 options. It was hard to decide between the glaces and the other desserts. All of the desserts were great, specially the Mont Blanc.

Insider Tip: Nice restaurant. Some of the items on the menu seemed overpriced. Avoid the French onion soup. If you are not that hungry, skip the aperitifs and entrées and go directly to the desserts. Recommended.
