Le Violon is a finely tuned instrument! A quartet of partners compose a delicious culinary melody that unfolds within an elegant decor, decorated with premium materials and bathed in natural light. The contemporary score borrows from both the English-speaking world and the French: bluefin tuna, tomato, and olive oil in the style of a gourmet pan con tomate; fish & chips revisited with monkfish in a gribiche sauce; beef cheek bordelaise and its Joël Robuchon-style potato purée; and, for dessert, carrot cake with cream cheese icing and butterscotch sauce. The concise menu comprises a dozen dishes, supplemented by a few specials inspired by the market, which your server will talk you through. Reservation mandatory; hip young clientele.
