The cuisine reflects the chef, in that it is warm and down to earth. Steff, located in the sixth arrondissement, has made a name for itself in this chic area without ever loosing sight of its Iberian roots. The cuisine of Stéphane Fernandez, strongly influenced by the Mediterranean, brings to mind sea spray and sunshine. The business community and straightforward fine diners flock to this small, unobtrusive road to enjoy a simple thin French truffle tart or plancha-cooked octopus fricassee in contemporary surroundings filled with deep chairs and soft lighting, or on the shady terrace in summer. To whet the appetite even further, there is a huge Milan schnitzel and a delicious stuffed crab with lobster sauce. Still have space for a little more?
