Jul'
Having been won over by this place for a long time (the beauty of the place, the view of the beautiful Place Stan, the cuisine and in particular their famous raspberry tart and millefeuille), however I came less because I was tired of the menu (which never changed). For around 4 years, the Foy has been renewing itself and surprising us with a change of menu twice a year, dishes that look great, fine and tasty dishes alongside the classics of the Lorraine bistro, at least one vegetarian dish, gluten-free dishes and desserts (thank you 🙏), a new snack formula which I hope will be included in its gluten-free menu). And all at more than fair prices (in relation to the location and quality) (I read in the comments of the critics on the prices: so yes, the prices are increasing, everywhere and in everything, except the salaries! Is it really the fault of the restaurateurs who see their rents, charges and raw materials increase? Maybe they shouldn't pay their employees? In short, I leave few comments but when I see traders being criticized for that? quantity are there, it annoys me. The problem is political and does not come from your neighbor, colleague, craftsman, merchant or restaurateur!
And now Le Grand Café Foy surprises me again! Audacity and renewal for the “new Foy”! The red gave way to pink, the ceiling was decorated with flowers, the gold remained to my great pleasure, the place became much brighter. A look that fits the times: a breath of nature and disrupted gender stereotypes (and no, pink is not a "girl's color" or kitsch!)
But this pink gives the restaurant a powdery softness, a certain charm. General Foy gave up his red (it was magnificent but aging, and for a Nancy who regularly frequented this place, the renewal rekindles the flame) to the pink of his favorite, the Pompadour! A little love and romance in this world at war.
Daring to surprise, that's what the Grand Café Foy has managed to do, by extending the history of this place and of General Foy (and yes, the change makes sense and is not a crazy whim!) As for the plates, they speak for themselves and fill me up amply!
