Le Grand Méricourt

Le Grand Méricourt in Paris 11th was born when chef Alexis Jordan met former cosmetic industry marketing director Christelle Ly in the kitchen of the Michelin-starred Plaza Athénée, where they honed their love of technique, rigour and good produce. Le Grand Mericourt is the kind of restaurant they would want to eat at – a simple, comfortable modern setting where the authenticity and accuracy of the cooking, quality of service, and affordability are never compromised. Written up on a chalk board, largely traditional French dishes change with the seasons, always offering some original little surprise or other, such as terrine of foie gras with fig, apricot and lime jam. Such discreet service makes Le Grand Mericourt good for dining a deux.
