3 days in Paris -08/1-8/4/2018
The original
La Régalade was
founded by chef Yves
Camdeborde in
1992 at the far border of the 14ème arrondissement. In its day it was ground
zero for the bistronomie movement,
in which disaffected young chefs were leaving Michelin-starred kitchens and
opening simple bistrots where their gastronomic talents could shine at lower
price points. Years later, Bruno Doucet bought the restaurant and ran it for years
until he sold it on December 2017 to Olie Clark, a young British and talented chef who
worked at La Regalade for years. It is now renamed to Origins 14, La
Regalade.
The menu is a steal at 37 Euros for a 3 course meal |
Hoa and Minh selected a bottle of red wine |

Cheers to great evening. Our reservation was at 7:00PM and we were the only clients in there.
People start to show up around 8:00PM. People eat really late in France.

Cheers to good food, good wine and good company!

The famous house terrine is always served as soon as your arrive.
Our hostess told us that the recipe remains the same as it was originally served by Yes Camborde. It has not change since day 1.
Basically, we came back to this restaurant because of the house terrine.

The terrine is served with homemade picked cucumber. So delicious and you can ask for as much as you want.
We ate it so fast that they pretty much gave us another jar pretty quickly.
