Chef Jérôme Gangneux delivers attractive dishes, after taking orders from customers, explaining the dishes to them and advising them.
Facing 6 New York, facing the Seine, the Eiffel Tower. Admittedly, you have to be in a good position to see it from your table. But, pushing open the restaurant door, you just have to turn around. We enter and the brightness surprises. The bay windows are high, but the good idea of chef Jérôme Gangneux and his wife Cathy is to have the walls painted in chick yellow, bright and dazzling, and to have chosen this color for the benches. Very pleasant, really this yellow, happy.
The 6 New York is an original restaurant. Tables well laid out, elegant place. We are surprised when we discover the pretty room. A restaurant where they serve good food. Explanation: Jérôme Gangneux was chef at Jean-Pierre Vigato, during the heyday of Apicius. He learned a lot and retained a lot. He delivers attractive plates, after taking orders from customers, explaining the dishes to them, advising them. Reassuring to see this chef, present in the dining room, watching the pleasures of his guests. Two very popular dishes never leave the menu: the veal’s head in warm carpaccio, cooking vegetables, ravigote spiced up with mustard, and the risotto style shells, ham, black truffle jus and chips.

Among the meats, the tender and crispy pork belly, peas, chorizo, perry reduction, and the duo of whole veal kidney and braised veal sweetbreads.
