The best tartares in town… where to find them!
In the mood for some great tartare? We've put together a list of the best tartares in town that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home.
Le Balthazar
You can't go wrong with Balthazar's tartare duo (beef and salmon). It's the perfect combination of the salmon's fruity flavor and the beef's smoky, spicy taste.
The Boating Club
The Boating Club's beef tartare is a real favorite. Your taste buds will be delighted by the flavors of aged balsamic vinegar and truffle.
The Enfants Terribles
The simplicity and refreshing flavors of cilantro and lime in Les Enfants Terribles’ salmon tartare are sure to win you over.
Gatto Matto
Try the delicious beef tartare at Gatto Matto. With its elegant presentation, its flavors will remind you of Italy.
The Islanders Microbrewers
The salmon tartare from Les Insulaires Microbrasseurs is simply exquisite: horseradish sauce, cucumbers, lemon zest, dill, and thin potato strips.
Le Tire-Bouchon
Try the trio of tartares (beef, salmon, and tuna)—perfect for 2 or 3 people—at Le Tire-Bouchon restaurant. You’ll feel as if you’ve been transported to the must-see French capital for the duration of your meal.
ZIBO!
Zibo's salmon tartare is a must-try! You'll keep coming back for more. Enjoy your meal!
