However, the street eventually changed its name to Rue de L'Ecole
de Medecine because of the prestigious medicine school of Paris, but as you have guessed,
the restaurant takes its name from the original street and what the caves were called.
Located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris close to
the River Seine and Notre
Dame in one direction and the Luxembourg Gardens in the other La Cave des Cordeliers
takes you to the historic Paris with its restored
caves.
Inside you have the ground floor where the performers are situated and this area has
wooden tables and chairs with an elegant interior and subdued lighting. From here
you will find a Mezzanine area that is accessed via a spiral staircase which has a great
view overlooking where the musicians will entertain you by creating different musical
atmospheres.
You could also find yourself in the restored caves, still with the original brickwork and
stone floors superbly restored, yet with a more relaxed lounge style and romantic
atmosphere with comfortable red velvet chairs, sofas, wooden tables and a low vaulted
ceiling.
Throughout the evening and often until dawn you can listen to the talented pianist,
singers and the band that will create different musical atmospheres, from traditional
French songs to Cuban, Jazz, Soul and repertoires, etc.
Now thinking of the food, there are numerous delights on offer such as duck foie gras with
mesclun salad, shredded artichoke with Scottish smoked Salmon, frogs legs a la Provencale,
scampi ravioli, stewed seabass and lobster with saffron, monkfish with pancetta and white
beans, beef stroganoff, quail roasted in vine leaves, veal medallion with mushroom sauce
and fillet of beef with pepper sauce.
The cuisine on offer here is made even more enjoyable by you being able to choose your own
garnish for the main courses and some of the side dishes include potato cake with garlic,
rice, green beans, and much more, but when it comes to desserts, please do bear in mind
that these have to be ordered at the start of your meal.
So, you can discover refined French cuisine whilst listening to international repertoires
performed by the Cave des Cordeliers Band and this makes for an extremely enjoyable night
out with a difference.
