About Le Gratin

Le Gratin offers a delightful dining experience with a beautiful Parisian brasserie atmosphere. Guests praise the bread, describing it as perfection, with some noting it is crispy on the outside and soft inside. The brunch features warm bread and butter that set a delicious tone for the meal. The pain perdu is a standout, boasting perfect texture and bursts of banana flavor. The restaurant also serves French classics and more, including dishes like frisse aux lardon and MR liver. The quiche is beautifully prepared, dark green from the spinach and very flavorful, with a denser texture than usual. The beef tartare is served unmixed, with the server offering to mix it at the table. The meat is tender and flavorful, though some find it a bit heavy on mustard and tangy. A beet salad with pistachios adds a nice touch of texture. The dessert, decorated with a "Happy Birthday" chocolate and candle, shows thoughtful service. The profiterole, though slightly overbaked on the outside, remains light and airy inside. Recent guests highlight the space's beauty and the top-notch service. They enjoyed dishes like steak frites, which was cooked perfectly with a rich caramelized onion sauce, and appreciated the refined flavors throughout. Overall, the food is good, and the friendly, attentive service makes for a pleasant experience. Despite some service issues on a busy night, many guests find Le Gratin worth returning to for more of the menu.
