The Banquet des Sophistes, a bistro-nomic restaurant
Bistro-what? Bistro-nomic, you see! We are talking about the contraction of bistro and gourmet. And this gives us a quick idea of the universe we are walking into: the sought after gastronomic dishes and the friendly atmosphere of a bistro. Seduced by the concept, the editorial team decided to test this place that everyone has been talking about for months. After glancing at the map of the Banquet des Sophistes, we decided to book for lunch, aware of our budget.
The “Banquet des Sophistes”, a bistro with a refined design
Located just a stone’s throw from the Place d’Austerlitz, the “Banquet des Sophistes” seduced us with its refined cuisine and also with its cosy atmosphere. Divided between two floors, we particularly liked the first floor with its ultra-design furniture and its different atmospheres. For a romantic dinner, a business lunch or a moment with friends, you will be conquered by the cosy side of this place.
Service and menu of quality
Just installed, we let ourselves charmed by the presentation made by the waitress. She convinces us to opt for a lunch menu, all with a good glass of wine she recommended.
As soon as the first dish arrived (and it was served fairy quickly), we discover very well presented plates with uncommon food associations made in “Banquet des Sophistes”. Main dish and dessert are equally sought after, and we loved it!
The dishes are beautiful, good and are made with fresh products. That’s why the restaurant changes its menu every month, in rhythm with the season. If you have always wanted to eat in a gastronomic restaurant, but are on a tight budget, we recommend you try “Banquet des Sophistes
Small tip from the editorial team:
Go for lunch menus which are very affordable (about 19 € compared to 25 € for only one dish in the evening). The presentation is maybe a bit less elaborated, but it is just as delicious and served in record time.
