"Chez Lévèque is located just in front of the very famous Léméac restaurant. While Léméac offers classic French cuisine intelligently reformulated up to date, Chez Lévèque offers classic French cuisine as we did 25 years ago. The prices are also lower, which means that a good second, Chez Lévèque succeeds in standing out and not suffering too much from the presence of its august neighbor.The waiters are dressed as if they were in a Parisian restaurant: impeccable white shirt , black jacket and red buckle. Coming back from the men's washroom, I am going to talk to the owner of the place who is sitting at the bar and who has just passed behind the bar. He's wearing a pretty wrinkled jacket that needs a pressing. I told him, in a low voice, so as not to be heard from the neighbors, that there is a strong smell of urine in the men's toilet and that it is hardly bearable. His answer seems quite surprising to me: The thing is possible! he said to me, which leaves me unanswered. Fortunately, the meal was very good and at a very good price if we stick to the table d'hôte and the specials offered by the house: mussels, snail, braised veal, mashed potatoes, chocolate fondant, excellent cream Tarragon ice cream accompanied by an excellent glass of St -Emilion. Next time I come back to Lévèque, I will go through the Léméac toilets!"
