Le Sot l'Y Laisse, a superb restaurant in the 11th arrondissement

par Anne-claire weyne
 
Within the bistro-bobo-nomique 11th arrondissement of Paris, former home of Vins & Millésimes, a restaurant that was very close to us (less than 200m away!) delights the discerning palates of our team, locals, Parisians from all walks of life, and even many Tokyo visitors in search of French bistronomie interpreted with an all-Japanese precision and accuracy.

Under the helm of Eiji Doihara, former Head Chef of the Bistro Paul Bocuse in Tokyo, the "Sot l'Y Laisse", already renowned under the era of the ever-smiling Stéphane Chevassus — now at the helm of the "Vieux Chêne" — delivers sumptuous and flavorful dishes every day. The chef's cuisine is defined by the most sought-after products of the French terroir, such as salt-meadow lamb, sweetbreads, pan-fried foie gras, pigeon, turbot, pollock, etc., revisited with modernity and talent, without forgetting nods to Japanese classics such as tuna belly or black sesame blancmange.

A table and a shelf elegantly stocked with bottles serves as the wine list. Enthusiasts can make their selection from the remarkable wines of Antoine Arena, François Villard, Jean-Louis Trapet or Emmanuel Reynaud ( Fonsalette , RayasPignan... ) , among others, or sample a selection of natural wines, as is fashionable in the neighborhood... In short, Le Sot l'Y Laisse is a restaurant we highly recommend, whether you are 200m away or 200km away!
Set menus at €18/24 at lunch. A much more gastronomic à la carte menu in the evening at €50–60. Reservations almost essential.
Le Sot l'y Laisse 70, rue Alexandre Dumas Paris 11e Tel. 01 40 09 79 20 Open every day except Saturday lunch, Sunday and Monday lunch.
