LAZU is a chef-owned restaurant, and that changes everything. "You come to eat at my place," Remi tells us. The welcoming atmosphere and deep blue walls envelop us in a cozy ambiance. The Art Deco decor adorned with photographs of celebrities dining reminds us that every meal here is a celebration of sharing and conviviality. But on this day, the sun is shining in Paris, and the lush terrace is calling our name.
A clear and contrasting cuisine
The concept here is simple: surprise with basic ingredients. Each dish is crafted to highlight and rediscover the flavors of the ingredients. Mastering the traditional techniques, especially in creating sauces, adds richness and indulgence. Then, we play with textures, temperatures, a hint of acidity or bitterness to create surprises and make each bite unique.
To start, the parmesan shortbread with goat cheese basil cream sets the stage for a delightful culinary experience. For the first course, savor the first chanterelles of the season, roasted in meat juices, with tomatoes and coriander for freshness, and poppy seeds for a crispy texture. And then, brace yourself for the most heavenly gnocchi ever tasted, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, served with a savory meat jus and topped with Parmesan shavings.
The artichoke prepared in various textures, from smooth and flavorful to crispy and bitter chips, the smoked duck breast paired with a Granny Smith apple for a burst of acidity. This dish is a remarkable blend of flavors and textures; neither just a meat dish with a side, nor solely a vegetarian dish, but a perfect harmony of both.Flavors and textures combine to create a delightful surprise with every bite.
