Brasserie Paul Bocuse Le Musee (2009-05-16)
To answer the question from yesterday: We went to the National Art Center TO EAT.Brasserie Paul Bocuse Le
Musee is located on the third floor
of the Center in a whimsical conical structure. Most of the
tables are placed along the perimeter of the restaurant, and food is
prepared in the basement kitchen and brought up via the
elevator.
The resturant is super popular during lunch time and diners begin to
queue well before the opening hour of 11am. To secure a table on
weekend or public holidays, you must arrive no later than 1045am and
join the line!
To commemorate the Louvre exhibition, the restaurant is running a
special "Louvre Course" with an appetizer, entree and dessert for
5250Yen/US$53 (a measly saving of about 5 bucks). There's also
the usual lunch course of 2680Yen and
the very reasonable 1800Yen two-course lunch that many people order
(right now it's on sale for 1500Yen to celebrate the restaurant's
second year running).
The Louvre Course that KL and I both got was nice, and that's it. We
weren't overwhelmed by the presentation or the taste. The one annoying
aspect in our dining experience is the lack of space between
tables. There's maybe just 6 inches separating our table with our
neighbors'. It's a complete devoid of privacy which is something
we don't like.
