Between Saint-Lazare station and the Champs Elysées, L’Abordage is a beautiful café with several advantages. In fine weather, its vast terrace allows you to enjoy the view of the monumental Saint-Augustin church and a wooded park without the hassle of traffic.
Inside, L’Abordage has the charm of the real cafés that have made Paris famous. Ball lights, red benches, a pewter counter and advertisements taken from pre-war magazines, the decoration and furniture project you into the world of the 1930s.
The atmosphere is that of a real Parisian bistro because this aptly named Abordage breathes life. You can have lunch or dinner at the counter and observe the cooking or choose one of the two rooms. But everywhere we perceive a good atmosphere between the laughter and the sound of the forks of happy guests in front of beautiful plates.
Because if you like good seasonal products and traditional French cuisine, L’Abordage is made for you. Here you will find the classics of bistro cuisine. Like cold meats, asparagus in spring or stuffed cabbage as starters. Chef David Perret puts his personal touch when he makes a Paris bistro specialty like egg mayonnaise. Its mayonnaise has a unique refined and subtle taste. The chef also works with fish with talent, such as this tender Scottish salmon prepared in tataki or sea bass. And he cooks entrecôtes and beef ribs like no other, which he knows how to rest before serving so that the meat is as tender as possible. At L’Abordage, we come to present the prime rib to the customer.
The beef is Salers breed. These magnificent beasts, with a wild appearance, almost prehistoric, come from Cantal in Auvergne like the boss Philippe Porte. To accompany these dishes, L’Abordage offers a fine selection of wines, great Burgundy and Beaujolais but also a beautiful collection of Bordeaux which will delight lovers of French wines. Without ruining them.
For pastry lovers, L’Abordage is a great address. Because this café, which is rare in Paris, has its own pastry chef. And Hervé Moreau has a pure talent for making fresh “light” cakes and pastries with minimal sugar. His rum baba is enchanting but fans will have to try the millefeuille, undoubtedly one of the best in Paris!
