By Lucas - St Germain En Laye

This restaurant is one of my favorites in SGEL. The chef is always willing and able to fix a wonderful vegetarian/vegan alternative if there is nothing on the menu. The wine is great and the fact you see the chef preparing your food in all calmness, even finding the time to have a little chat, is a great extra! You should really try to visit this wonderful restaurant when in SGEL!

After a long walk on the park we stumbled on By Lucas wandering the streets of St Germain en Laye. We were very fortunate. The restaurant has a wine bar feeling to it with the difference being that the food is prepared right there, next to you. With a short but varied menu, we had between us five different dishes. All were of excellent quality in terms of ingredients and preparation. The highlight was the lamb tajine with prunes and apricots. The best lamb dish I have ever had and being Greek that says it all. The people at the restaurant were friendly but discreet. The ambience was zen like. Tipsy from our shared alcoholic desert we headed to the station and back to Paris to sleep our meal off. St Germain en Laye is a badly needed reprieve from Paris crowds and pollution. If you find yourselves there top it off with a meal at By Lucas.

Tasty food in a lovely and inviting setting. The chef is extremely kind, thoughtful and talented. Highly recommended!

Excellent table, a simple menu with fresh products enhanced by careful cuisine. Selective but very sufficient and quality wine list, which allows for fine food/wine pairings. The place is cozy and the welcome and service impeccable. We recommend without reservation.

First negative point there are no aperitifs on the menu and that's a real shame. The cuisine is good but very simple and the prices are really excessive, almost 50 euros entree main course dessert we approach the price of a starred but far from its services and its cuisine. Review your prices very quickly or make a menu like the others, the craving is 25 euros starter main course dessert and the kitchen is of the same level ;
