I had a sudden cravings for a good cup of hot chocolate and Jean Paul Hevin just came to mind. A friend and I decided to use our lunch calorie quotas to just grab dessert and hot chocolate for lunch. But when we got to JPH and realized they serve lunch sets for a pretty good price. So we gave it a try. Veloute de Carottes: The carrot is poured in front of u as it arrives on the table. The presentation makes this dish look even more appealing than it is. The soup was delicious! It was creamy and
Veloute de Carottes: The carrot is poured in front of u as it arrives on the table. The presentation makes this dish look even more appealing than it is. The soup was delicious! It was creamy and hot just how I wanted my soup. The carrot and the herbs were very well balanced in the soup as well.
Poulet a la creme et crepes vonnassiennes: This is the chicken with light cream sauce and potato pancakes. My friend actually had this as her entree. The chicken pieces were very tender but the potato pancakes were a fail. It's not crispy and it had a burnt taste to it. Although I see everyone around me ordering this dish, it was my least favorite from the meal.
Gremelli au Saumon Fume: This was my entree choice which is a smoked salmon and herbs gremelli pasta. I really enjoyed this dish since the sauce was light and creamy and it went perfectly with the smoked salmon which gave a hint of saltiness to the dish. The pasta was perfectly cooked to al dente just the way I like it.
Jean Paul Hevin's parisian hot chocolate & Mazaltov cheesecake: The hot chocolate is definitely the star of the meal. For adding $20 you can upgrade to hot chocolate with your meal. I picked the signature parisian hot chocolate because the waitress suggested it's used with the darkest chocolate among the other drinks. This hot chocolate was smooth, creamy and surprisingly not overly sweet at all. It's also with a thicker texture than your typical hot chocolate. On the other hand, the cheesecake was a little bit disappointing. The cake was a huge piece but it was dry and the flavoring was very typical. Maybe also because it wasn't the type of cheesecake I was expecting it to be where it's creamy like new york cheesecake. This one is more like a spongecake texture. But it was stated on the menu that it's light and fat-free so it's a good choice for people who's watching their weight.
Overall, I think this was a satisfying lunch for the price and the amount of food you get. Also the ambiance of the restaurant is not bad too. It's more spacious than a lot of the restaurants around that area. Definitely will come back for some more of that delicious hot chocolate!
