La Crystal Room Baccarat, located on the first floor of the Baccarat Museum in the 16th arrondissement, is one of my favorite places to take friends for lunch.

Intrigued by Sala Cristal’s new fall menu, I was delighted when Elodie agreed to join me for a leisurely lunch to take a break from her busy work at the Paris Visitors Bureau. After careful deliberation and a couple of consultations with our charming waitress, I finally decided on smoked eel with leek foam and a quail egg for my starter. From the moment I took my first bite, Elodie’s news of Christmas lights and an ice skating rink on the Champs-Élysées on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower during the holidays was eclipsed by an exquisite combination of flavors in the mouth.

By the time our dishes arrived, Elodie and I had dropped all pretense of talking about upcoming events in Paris. “Cité Lumière” My roasted pork loin and braised cheek served with mushroom and bak choy and Élodie’s lamb, cumin carrot puree, dates and lemon juice. Our desserts, Pear Souffle with Williamine Sorbet and Black Forest Cream Cake with Manjari Chocolate Sorbet proved equally enticing.
