It’s hard to say what was more enjoyable, my dinner at La Côte Saint Jacques OR being able to eavesdrop on their lunch service the following day. I learned so much from just watching Chef Bondoux do his thing, and the team working with him was so impressive. If you are in Paris looking for the perfect detour, I can’t recommend this place enough. Truly a highlight of my year.

  1. Eh. I could just make some mashed potatoes, cream gravy, and slice some chicken tenders for all of $10 and call it good rather than waste so much money at some overblown fancy place.

  2. Maybe a Michelin star restaurant, where they get paid hundreds of thousands. Not in, lesser restaurants.

  3. The Michelin Star system operates only in some countries. You won't find any restaurants in Australia with a Michelin ranking. But several would qualify for Michelin stars if the system was there.

  4. Michelin is a load of faff for people who eat for status. If the food tastes good, eat at the restaurant. Good quality ingredients prepared and presented well is the only thing that matters

  5. The staff in a michelin-star restaurant are under far, far more pressure than staff in your average shouty local food-barn.

  6. Stonehedge in NH! I was a prep cook. But when it came to the line, I was a sautee cook. The only person allowed to cook Foi Gras and spoon out taters! No yelling. All good communication between 10 people starting with me and the foi gras, while the the liver was searing, I prepared the first plate, pull it out, spoon and swoop the taters, turn around scoop up the foi gras, plate and pass. Put another liver in the pan. do it all over 100 times. Thank god we had pre paid dinners and not walk-in diners! But then again, who would walk-in for a 500 dollar a plate meal?

  7. Just plain wrong. Maybe this one isn’t loud but claiming they all aren’t is ludicrous and clearly lazy. Go to almost any and they are loud in the back

  8. Michellin is all about dining experience. No one wants to see and hear chefs shouting at each other. Tbh, its not just muchellin but all well run places. Shows like hells kitchen and the bear have made everyone think kitchen are full of screaming angry people, when in reality if youre trained properly and experienced there is no reason anyone should be angry, the kitchen should be a well oiled machine

  9. Why does the Michelin Man get a say over who has a good restaurant? I thought he was just a tire guy. Maybe he's the father of the Pillsbury doughboy? That would make sense.

  10. I'd assume they arrive at this serene, peaceful, clockwork kitchen condition after a lot of yelling in their early days.

  11. Chefs can be the most pretentious wankers alot of chefs don't realise that yelling is only to be heard when it's loud not just how yi can talk to people

  15. Who would have guessed, mistreating your worker by yelling at them all the time is a horrible way to run the kitchen and only exist on tv

  16. I mean, to be fair, every other restaurant we see in Seasons 2 and 3 of The Bear are like that. That just goes to show how The Bear is not functioning properly.
