The opportunity to dine out with unprecedented elegance and taste has come to Cincinnati: Legendary restaurateur Jean-Robert de Cavel and Maître d’Hôtel Richard Brown have joined together to open Restaurant L, a Parisian-style eatery which will be the extraordinary new anchor for Cincinnati’s newest contemporary landmark, the Great American Tower at Queen City Square at the corner of 4th and Broadway. Featuring elevated cuisine, impeccable service and refined décor, Restaurant L offers their diners exquisite, seasonally inspired French cuisine.
Restaurant L features a main dining room that accommodates 60 guests, with two private dining rooms that can together seat up to 40 as well as a full-service bar which seats 30 guests for a la carte diners. de Cavel, known in Cincinnati for his classic French cooking technique, has created both a three-course prix-fixe menu which begins at $89 and an imaginative Menu Gourmand tasting menu beginning at $125. Wine pairings can be added for $45 with the prix-fixe and $65 with the tasting menu. All prices include service.
This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a menu that combines refined French techniques with casual, seasonal flair, highlighted by worldly flavor profiles while still keeping to the parameters of true, French-style cooking.
What’s on your plate at Restaurant L? If you go the prix-fixe route, your first course can be anything from tuna tartare “nicoise” to Rabbit Ballotine with fava beans, pioppini mushroom, carrot puree and champagne dressing. Course two can offer you ravioli with sheep’s milk cheese, foie gras, or for the adventurous, sweetbreads. The third course has classic selections like chicken, duck, filet mignon, arctic char and lamb, all perfectly prepared to please the palate.
Want to try the Menu Gourmand? Be ready for Jonah Crab, foie gras, or squab, amongst other selections, as well as domestic and imported cheeses and a selection of sweets.
