The Foch Villa: a business appointment as at home

Yet not such a long time ago, within walking distance of Porte Maillot and of Congress Center, there was a Corsican restaurant.

The address of 141, avenue de Malakoff in 16th changed owners. They made of it a place of user–friendliness and division:  The Foch Villa. Its hosts of the moment are accommodated in a cordial and cosy decoration. The terrace, the chimney, the library, the bar and the mezzanine… all are made so that each one feels there as at his place; that it is for a coffee, a lunch, a business appointment, a tea or a dinner.

Side cooks, it is the very promising cheffe Elise Martin, which have held for one year, the reins of the furnaces. That which have as a model Anne–Sophie Pix and which made its ranges in places of prestige such as Fouquet‘ S (Paris 8th), the Sluice–gate truss Marboeuf (Paris 8th), the Crillon hotel (Paris 8th) and the hotel Meurice (Paris 1st) and which had Jean François Piège as Master of reference, proposes plates with the French mets traditional, but creative, prepared starting from fresh produce of quality and season.

A such wink at its Cameronian origins, Elise Martin does not hesitate to make them goûteux to incorporate a touch of exoticism in it by spicing them somewhat. Which result with the map, which is changed every three months? In addition to its dish signature, the Limousin Tartar with green chili been useful with apples New Bridge, the gourmets will appreciate without half–measure, the green asparagus of Provence in mimosa to the candied lemon pulp and smoked herring eggs, the tataki of tuna to sesame seeds with the cream wasabi, the royal sea–bream dash snacké accompanied by a pilau rice to the scents of the underwoods, the supreme one of organic guinea fowl roasted with frozen spring vegetables.

That dishes refined and coloured with soft flavours which will charm the subtle papillae. For the sweetened note, the fruit carpaccio been used with a lemon–yellow sorbet and the Babas for red Iberico rums and its fruits will allure them by pure greediness.

Then, there is to hesitate no more! Direction the Foch Villa. One is there as at the house!
