Last week we went to a nice little restaurant called Café Varenne, the next stop on our never-ending hunt for the best french onion soup. It was a very nice restaurant and the waiter spoke some English, so we weren't completely lost. We had heard good things about the soup, but when it came the cheese came on the side and you added it and the croutons yourself. It was still a delicious onion soup, with awesome large pieces of onion, but the thick layer of baked cheese is what really makes a great french onion soup in my eyes and this just didn't have it.
It was the first time we had seen it, so of course we had to try the beef tartare (raw ground beef)! It was good, but cold. I think it would have tasted better a little warmer. Then we also had the steak with pepper sauce, which is always good. And everything comes with fries!
I'm not sure it lived up to the hype of some of the reviews, but still a good place I would recommend. The search for best french onion soup continues...
