Dinner at Champeaux on Saturday

Went to Champeaux on Saturday night. It's Alain Ducasse's newest restaurant under the canopy in Les Halles and the reviews have been very good.  It's a fairly large space with lots of glass, done in the industrial style (pipes showing) in grey & silver.  It fills up very quickly and is a mix of everybody - elderly foursomes, families with young children, couples and everything in between, probably due to the fact that it's in a huge shopping mall.  The menu is posted on a train board which turns over every 20 minutes in addition to the usual printed one. We both had the lobster souffle for a starter and it was rich and delicious. Then we shared the beef tartare which was perfectly seasoned & made with a really good beef.  For dessert, I had the apricot souffle with almond ice cream and Leas had the chocolate souffle with chocolate ice cream - both of which were perfectly executed.  They definitely know how to do a souffle.  The price is very reasonable for the quality and the service was attentive without being over bearing. Highly recommended.  Then back to the apartment & to bed.
