Had a wonderful birthday experience here. Very small and cozy with friendly service. The food was exceptional and the wine pairings were perfect. Had an amazing time overall.
I went for lunch. Just 4 tables were occupied which was delightfully quiet. Ambiance and service were good. The green vichyssoise was delicate and heavenly. The cod with chorizo and lobster sauce was a great achievement. The chocolate dessert, however, was too busy with a dozen flavors that did not integrate successfully in my opinion.
I’d go back to try the other options in the (limited) menu.
I've had this place on my bucket list for years, but never had the time/occasion/money to go. But I finally did and even though my expectations were sky high, La Chronique knocked it out of the park.
Impeccable service, impressive wine list, perfect food. The only possible gripe I could give is perhaps the decor. White walls, white tablecloths, white plates, it kinda gives off a bit of a "cold" ambiance. But I guess it's a classic look.
The menu is simple, 4-5 entrees and 4-5 mains. We were tempted to try the tasting menu, but the a la carte choices were too good. Everything was flawless. The cauliflower velouté was one of the best things I've ever eaten. That does it, I'm saving up for a Thermomix. The sweetbreads were perfect, and the steak was world class. The fat melted in your mouth like butter!
Yes, it's a bit of a splurge, but I'm really glad to have finally dined, and you, internet stranger, should consider giving this place a try if you're in the neighborhood.
