Reviews of interest
- Caroline Mignot (2011) “On observe le travail considérable accompli dans le décor, la cuisine, l’ambiance…pour la prestation, le lieu et la cuisine, je trouve que les prix sont tout à fait honnêtes.”
- Bruno Verjus (2011) “Les grignotages, le pain, le beurre, l’eau, les vins peuplent la vaste table. Confort!…La parfaite maîtrise des techniques et des produits, fruit d’une formation classique et incroyablement exigeante…”
- Patricia Wells (2011) “Best taste of the day was his huge serving of langoustines with a pungent and delicious kaffir lime-based sauce paired with a rectangle of and perfectly seared foie gras. Fabulous and gorgeous…I applaud Piège’s ability to create a new idea of what a restaurant can be.”
- Alexander Lobrano (2010) “After several meals at this just-opened table, there’s no doubt in my mind that Piège is one of the two or three wittiest chefs working in Paris right now. This is, in fact, the restaurant Paris has been waiting for, a place that puckishly but firmly shows why the recent trend of dissing the French capital as a culinary has-been is just plain wrong.”
- François Simon (2010) “…net, précis, presque chirurgical avec l’emphase classique (sauces et jus), la douceur du produit (pas dé véhémences, ni de notes écrasées), et la longueur en bouche. C’est du très beau travail. Est ce cher ? Sincèrement, dans ce club ouaté et civilisé, 70 € avec amuse mouches, plat, fromage set desserts, c’est impeccable.”
- François-Règis Gaudry – l’Express (2010) “La double contrainte des prix élevés et du choix restreint laissait espérer de la part du chef un vrai supplément d’âme. On le cherche encore…”
- Pudlo (2010) “Le lieu? Charme et confort mêlés: c’est le futur trois étoiles parisien des temps modernes…Bref, c’est une comète Piège, une planète différente, un univers à part, un OVNI, dans le concert parisien de la haute cuisine.”
