The proprietors of Chez Jeanette and Chez Justine have chosen a prime site opposite Le Chateaubriand and Le Dauphin for their new venture, Le Floréal – an American-style brasserie serving hamburgers and cupcakes.
The venue used to be a dive bar and retains the buzzy atmosphere - if now with a classier clentelle (Mathieu Amalric, Daniel Craig’s good-looking nemesis in Bond movie Quantum of Solace, is a regular).
Pricing is very reasonable considering the premium ingredients and standard of cooking.
