F.P. Journe

So finally the lid has been taken off what Francois Paul has been cooking up for a while. Im assuming this is a side project of passion and not a new career path.... Ladies and Genlemen, welcome to the "F-P Journe - Le Restaurant" It has been a rumor for ...  

and the service should run like clockwork 😉

The minute steak… it should be perfectly cooked 😉

Would you choose the clock monsieur 😉

Is this different from the previous location, or did Journe acquire an expanded ownership stake? I had dinner with F.P. and a crew from the company in the fall of 2017, and the restaurant on Rue de Rhone was said to be his at the time. Best, Tim

Actually, it is the same location. But everything inside will be different.

Dominique Gauthier is a fantastic Chef and a very gracious man. I was fortunate to dine at Le Chat Botté many times, the best place by far in Geneva based on my experience. For my birthday, the IWC Boutique was kind enough to invite the family at le Chat ...  

Better than the salmon dials of his timepieces! 😝

DOn't you know who I am??? Careful ChristianDK! Everyone is going to bother you for a reservation now. And everyone is going to complain to you when they can't get a reservation now! And how come I cannot get the exact table I want??? I almost always get ... 

Btw, What is Sinatras favorite restaurant?

I actually find the food in Melvyn's to be not that great - they have some great dishes, but they have some mediocre ones too. Don't order the Hamachi Crudo. I'm certain Sinatra would've sent that back! Been in Sinatra's seat many times at that restaurant... 

The venue looks very cool. I will look it up if i come to Palm Springs.

Again, not really a great restaurant overall. I don't think people go to Palm Springs for the food. Best food in USA is still in Napa Valley (wine country) mostly.

...Me: Don't you know who I am? Maître d': No clue.

...I have brilliantly achieved the latter...

And definitely failed in the former!
