Chez Suzy: a refined, affordable restaurant in the heart of Hôtel Regina

In the splendid setting of the Hotel Regina, a newcomer has arrived: welcome to Chez Suzy, a restaurant offering French cuisine that's both modern and traditional. On the menu you'll find classic French cuisine, revisited in a sophisticated way by the chef, to be enjoyed in a warm Victorian salon.

Opposite the Louvre and a stone's throw from the Tuileries,Hôtel Regina represents French elegance, with its Belle Époque architecture and hushed atmosphere. The Chez Suzy restaurant is located within the walls of this five-star establishment. With its refined French cuisine, it's the perfect place to enjoy lunch or dinner in elegant surroundings, without breaking the bank.

Chez Suzy offers an affordable menu for a five-star hotel restaurant: a starter, main course or dessert menu for €40, or a starter, main course and dessert menu for €52. Both menus are very reasonable in view of the quality of the service, the beauty of the setting and the deliciousness of the dishes. For those of you who are a little chilly, the dining room has tables next to a splendid fireplace, ideal for enjoying a meal by the fire. When the weather's fine, you can also enjoy lunch or dinner on the garden terrace, to take advantage of the mild spring and summer weather.

The Chez Suzy restaurant wanted to offer quality French cuisine, while creating traditional gourmet dishes that might remind you of your grandmother's cooking. For starters, we sampled the pâté en croûte, recommended by the house and a great success, and the grilled mackerel fillet with cabbage vinaigrette, for those who prefer a lighter starter.

The menu features traditional French dishes such as pot-au-feu and beeftartare. We chose to try the Sole Meunière, which we accompanied with a green salad andleg of 7h lamb and pearl barley. The waiter prepares your Sole Meunière in front of your eyes, and delicately places the fillets on your plate: high quality service that's a pleasure to watch. The Sole Meunière, delicious and perfectly cooked, stands out from the leg of lamb, which was a little below par, the meat not really tender and the dish lacking in juiciness.

If you like desserts, you're in for a treat! The menu features their signature dessert: the crêpe Suzy, their version of the famous crêpe Suzette. Once again, your crepes are prepared before your very eyes, and we recommend you choose this dessert for the experience. Once the crepes are flambéed, they're served delicately on your plate. A delicious and comforting dessert! For those who'd like to finish the meal in a lighter vein, their tart of the day, which was the red fruit tart when we were there, rounds off the meal in style.
