Francis Vandenhende is a passionate chef. How else
would you explain his decision to leave his other restaurants behind,
to come back to the atmosphere of this charming place he created 25 years
ago, close to St-Germain-des-Prés and to the Parliament House?
It is thus not surprising to find oneself surrounded
by connoisseurs and by regulars. At La Ferme St Simon you get a warm and
personalised welcome and Denise Fabre, the chef's wife will tell you:
“everybody has been, is or will be a guest at La Ferme St Simon!”
The list is indeed a long one: Jimmy Carter, François
Mitterrand, Hugh Grant among many many others… Sometimes you meet
the world of politics here, sometimes that of show business, but always
lovers of great cuisine!
We could not possibly be absent from such an address:
with the chef's help, a really festive menu has been composed, an actual
discovery of the products that have turned La Ferme St Simon into such
an unmissable place.
Beware though: the risk of becoming a regular is overwhelming…
