More about: 6 New YorkI’ll tell you the story as is… A friend of mine living in Paris wanted to invite us for dinner to celebrate my wife’s birthday on one single crucial condition: no phone, no pictures and no notes. “I know the owners and come here often with my work colleagues. Anthony, you are not writing an article today” Francois tells me. Knowing me… that, can’t be done. I tried to take as many pictures as I could despite Francois’ constant banging on my hand. The 6 New York is a beautiful restaurant facing the seine river. Tonight my phone was away so I tried to memorize as much as I can of this interesting dining experience.

Close from the Eiffel Tower, 6 New York offers a sweet cooking inspired by traditional receipes in a traditional and chic atmosphere. Designed in luminous tones, playing around natural matters like wood and leather, this refined area offers a warm atmosphere thanks to the welcome of Cathy, the chef’s wife.Valet parking took the car and here we were into the world of his cosy restaurant. Behind the door, a bar and a cashier welcome you before taking a left to access the restaurant. The place is divided into many rooms adding some privacy and intimacy to the place. I enjoyed the decoration so much. The 6 New York’s has a signTure feel composed of dimmed lighting around light caramel and gold colours.Some interesting details constitute this restaurant:

At the entrance, you are welcomed by a bar and the owner’s wife handling reservations that takes your coats before showing you to your table
The restaurant is divided into three distinct dining areas. The main one, a smaller cosier one to the left and the closed terrace
A wooden floor and a design ceiling host in the middle a diversity of circular and square tables all covered with a white dining service
Light yellow chairs or gold benches, the seating is relaxing around here
On the main wall painted in yellow, some fine art reminded me of the states. It’s true that the street name is New York but some items to remind you of the city would add some artistic touch
Two items add the needed colorful touch to the place. The red water glasses and some red lamps installed near the glass facades

Dinner started with a complementary amuse bouche: “Fraicheur de betraves blanches et gaspacio de carottes” before ordering the main plates.

Tonight’s culinary experience:

Fraîcheur de lentilles en gaspacho et salade, pétales du jardin

Risotto, encornets grilles, artichauts cuits et crus, à l’huile de truffe blanche

Pizzaleta de langoustines éclatées aux épices, pousses d’épinards, émulsion de citron

Petits nems frits de légumes et ricotta, crudités du potager, jus d’épices léger

Charlotte de chair de tourteau et avocat, arômes et curry et citron vert

Pot au feu de cochon fermier aux petits légumes, jus truffé

Côté de veau de lait rôtie, pommes de terre à notre façon, jus court

The food was good: A risotto perfectly cooked, prawns adequately seasoned, sauces with interesting flavors, premium meat and beautiful decorated plates. Truffle is added here in a subtile way. The lentil soup served cold caught my attention as well as the risotto plate and its crunchy artichokes. As for the spring rolls, they were offered on the house in individual plates and enjoyed with a smile.I liked the simplicity of this place and its fine decoration. Waiters do their best to make you enjoy your time.Dinner was tasty and service was correct. We were too full to order dessert that night but deciding to skip it, we were offered a plate of homemade marshmallows covered with dark chocolate in the form of bears accompanied by caramel crackers and lemon mousses cups. To celebrate my wife’s birthday, a candle was lit on a chocolate ice cream scoop. I was happy to taste all of those creations, specially the chocolate ice cream that turned out to be unique of its kind.A pleasant dinner, in a simple place, served by professional waiters and dedicated chefs. I liked is restaurant.
