Be back. Great food,staff, and ambience:)

Das Essen war wunderbar, überraschend und köstlich. Aber: das Timing viel zu anstrengend. In dieser Preisklasse erwarte ich etwas mehr Komfort, z.b. eine Garderobe und etwas mehr Geduld und Zeit um das Gebotene auch zu geniessen.

Stepping into Frenchie felt like stepping into a scene from a romantic Parisian movie. Exposed brick walls, warm candlelight, and the soft murmur of conversations set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The staff, charming and knowledgeable, guided me through the prix-fixe menu, patiently answering my questions and making personalized recommendations. Every dish was a revelation, but what truly took me by surprise was the masterful use of citrus flavors throughout the menu.

The amuse-bouche was a delightful citrus surprise - a tiny flower decorated surprise that burst with a tangy citron flavor. As the courses unfolded, citrus notes danced on my palate, adding a refreshing and vibrant touch to each dish. The lamb main course was mind-blowing, perfectly prepared 3-ways was brightened by a touch of lemon zest, while the hint of yuzu in the accompanying sauce added a delightful complexity. Even the dessert, a decadent banana banoffee, was lifted by a whisper of citrus, leaving a lingering sweetness on my tongue.

It wasn't just the food; it was art on a plate, meticulously crafted to tantalize both the eye and the palate. The global influences Chef Marchand wove in were delightful surprises, but it was his use of citrus that truly stole the show. Each bite was a testament to his creativity and his deep understanding of how to use these complex flavors to elevate his dishes.

While the tables are close, it fostered a warm and convivial atmosphere, letting me soak in the Parisian energy and chat with my fellow diners. It was the perfect balance of intimacy and liveliness.

Sure, it's a splurge (€140!), but for a special occasion, it's absolutely worth it. This wasn't just dinner; it was an experience I'll cherish forever. If you're looking for an intimate and indulgent exploration of French gastronomy with a delightful citrus twist, look no further than Frenchie. It's pure magic!

One of the best dining experiences I have ever had, the perfection of each course was mind blowing. Slightly higher price point, but at the end of the night, I found it to be worth every Euro.
