Last week the Cordon bleu school took us to a "fine dining restaurant". For me it was not really a fine dining restaurant. I mean the place is amazing it is actually located in the Gare de lyon which was a bit weird since we had to dress up for the dinner. Le Train Bleu evokes the Belle Epoque fairly discreetly. However, it is inside that the best-preserved and most stunning examples of 1900 style are to be found..
It is the paintings that capture one’s attention right from the start. There are 41 paintings depicting, naturally, rail network sites and also events in 1900. But for me the food was not that great, maybe the school didn't choose the best menu because obviously we are many.
For starters we had the fish,tomato,avocado tartare with beetroot sauce that was the only delicious plate
As for main course we had the rumsteak with vegetables. The meat for me was inedible ! it was too chewy and hard and they didn't even ask for the cuisson.

And finally for deserts we had the chocolate tart. Again i was so disappointed with the desert especially that i am doing the pastry program. Tha base of the tart was so hard i couldn't even cut it, it was obviously frozen not fresh and there was nothing special about the chocolate ganache.
The price range varies between 75 and 100 euros. I can only recommend this restaurant if you are curious to see it. But it's not worth the money you pay.
