Cramped and convivial, with a charming staff, the layout of this shop was modeled after a Parisian's fantasy of an affable, cluttered, old-fashioned butcher shop in Lyon. It's an excellent source for foie gras, caviar, black and white truffles, and other high-end foodstuffs. Artfully assembled gift baskets are a house specialty. One corner is devoted to a restaurant where many (but not all) of the dishes contain the costly items (especially truffles) sold in the shop. Examples include noodles or risottos with truffles and caviar with all the fixings. A prix-fixe menu costs 20€ ($26) without truffles and 65€ ($85) with truffles. Most main courses cost 30€ to 98€ ($39-$128), except for caviar, which begins at 175€ ($228) and can go up to 5,000€ ($6,500) per person. The restaurant is open during the open hours of the shop, although the last food order is accepted 45 minutes prior to closing. Open Monday to Saturday 9:30am to 9pm.
