Le Grand B

An eye-catching glass-fronted newcomer to the glam Grand Boulevards area of Paris 9th Le Grand B restaurant specialises in grills and spit roasts. Set over two glossy floors joined by a curving stairway, big Le Grand B certainly is. Downstairs is a contemporary café-style restaurant and bar serving health juices, hot and cold soups and oversized salads. Upstairs, all eyes are on the sublime slow-turning meat roasting in Le Grand Bs tomato-red open kitchen – the star attraction. Smartly dressed professionals talk business while refuelling on a hot half-roast chicken, thyme-crusted lamb cutlet or Christian Parra black pudding and roast potatoes.
