What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bouche en Folie is lauded for its phenomenal, fresh, and perfectly executed modern French cuisine, complemented by fantastic, knowledgeable, and fun service. While the intimate atmosphere and reasonable prices are highlights, a few diners found the traditional kitchen vision a bit 'heavy' and lacking sophistication, with one noting a dessert didn't meet expectations.
"Recommend! Very good regional food with a twist, exciting menu cooked by the owner himself. Well worth the money. Reservations strongly recommended."
Tobias Hesse
"You wouldn’t necessarily notice this little gem from the street. But the food is phenomenal, fresh & just perfect in every respect. The service was fantastic - knowledgeable, cheeky & fun. Catered for allergens without any issue. I would return in a heartbeat."
Julia-Laurence Abouaf
"This has to be the most perfect restaurant. Everything is of utmost quality: cuisine, friendliness of staff, and atmosphere. Despite my very weak French language skills, I navigated the menu with the help of my waiter. Gravlax de saumone, Cod with courgettes in a savory butter and ham sauce, and profiteroles smothered in the most amazing chocolate sauce I've ever tasted. Ooh la la! A very nice Sauvignon Blanc, with un caffe and a Lambig de Bretagne to cap things off. The waiter urged me to pop around the corner and speak to the chef. A very young chap with extraordinary skills (spoke to him in English). Ça c'est bon. Go here!"

The restaurant Bouche en Folie (14) at 14 Rue du Boyer (00 33 6 72 49 08 89; boucheenfolie.eresto.net ) is a delightful little place offering two courses at €22, three for €28. Menus change every couple of weeks or so; the cooking is first rate. If available a meal of terrine of rabbit, followed by sea bream and creamy risotto and finishing with a selection of local cheeses, is particularly recommended.
