Sauvage

St-Germain & Les Invalides


Some quite extraordinary natural wines are paired with creative French cuisine at this fashionably no-frills place with pea-green façade on trendy rue du Cherche-Midi. The devoutly seasonal menu changes daily and reads like an exotic shopping list: root veg, shallots and truffles (starter); veal sweetbreads, cabbage and sweet clover (main); butternut pumpkin and citrus fruits (dessert).
