Val-De-Marne

In the port of Ivry is docked a flat boat with a Bordeaux hull. It is accessed by a bridge along the Seine river. Inside, wood, leather and metal create light games that make the place breathtaking, both day and night. The kitchen elegantly interprets the large French recipes, with a penchant for vegetables and seasonings at Provençal. The gastronomy includes the duck foie gras, the walnuts of Saint James to the gamlows, the supreme of poultry in mushroom sauce. During dessert, you are sensitive to the Belle Hélène pear, the coffee fire, the black chocolate foam. It's the sweetness to follow an espresso, for an exquisite moment.

The place is located a few dozen meters from the border with the capital. A well-known establishment in Saint-Mandé, Le Ruisseau is not only a hotel, but also has a 50-seat brasserie and a restaurant located in the basement, with stone walls and rustic decoration. Here, French gastronomy is in the spotlight, under the guidance of chef Philippe Habrias. In this room with its intimate and cosy atmosphere, you can appreciate the stones of this old vaulted cellar with a warm decor. The different products offered are available according to the arrival and the season. Le Ruisseau offers specialities such as Salers meat, Auvergne ham, sweetbreads with morels, lobster. We'll think about booking, especially on weekends.

We always feel his appetite to wake up in a grocery store with a tasting counter. Here, the refined charcuterie, farm cheeses, Norman dairy foods, the honey of beekeeper and sweets of chocolate chocolate attisent attisent our greed. We also take place in front of freshly sliced Iberian cured, toast toast with candied tomato, a nachos bien, a creamy bowl of bowl. With this, we opt for a carefully selected glass of wine from large tracts of land. Sunday and the occasion of the brunch: we have scrambled eggs and dill salmon, with crisp raw vegetables. then the fruit salad keeps us in lightness. So much better and soon!
