Trumilou

Trumilou

I selected this restaurant, as I frequently do, from the dependable Zagat Paris Restaurant Guide (2004/2005). I find this source to be an excellent starting point. I particularly like its organization style (by area, by cuisine, by $, etc.) in helping the traveler find what works for them. Trumilou has an extremely nondescript storefront, but do not let that deceive you! Trumilou is located on the Right Bank, just east of the l'Hotel de Ville (on the river side). What is inside is pure French food heaven. As the guide describes, one feels like they are eating from their French mother's kitchen! The staff is warm, inviting, and efficient. Though the capacity is not large, they make the most of their space, so be prepared to sit close to the next table. I find that nice though, as it cultivates a feeling of community while dining. We ordered a lovely, refreshing bottle of Alsace Reisling to go with the veal cutlet dish I ordered. It was prepared in a "to die for" cream sauce with mushrooms. My husband ordered their duck in a sweet prune sauce. This also was "to die for". Needless to say, we mopped up all remaining gravy with their excellent bread... I wasn't about to leave one drop one the plate—it was THAT good. We finished with an un cafe (espresso). On a scale of 4 stars for the food, I would give them 4 without hesitation. Bon appetite.
