Le Wagon Bleu, located in the heart of Paris’s 17th arrondissement, is a restaurant that stands out for its traditional Corsican cuisine with a modern twist. At every meal, guests are transported into a memorable culinary world, thanks to the culinary expertise of the chefs and a completely insane setting that resembles an authentic Orient-Express carriage.
Unusual, dreamlike dining at the Wagon Bleu
In a warm and sophisticated atmosphere, the Wagon Bleu welcomes you on its terrace or inside, in a space that resembles a real train carriage. Indeed, in the 1950s, the establishment’s owners came up with the idea of rumbling a 1925 Orient-Express carriage from the tracks, as it was being scrapped. This was then installed in place of their pétanque court and became a restaurant. Rehabilitated 10 years later, the wagon would later be used for a number of cult film scenes!
Now that we’ve set the scene, let’s get down to business! The Wagon Bleu’s varied menu includes options to suit all tastes. Starters include buglidice, excellent goat’s cheese fritters, and mayo eggs with bottarga. Then it’s time for the main course, with a choice of pork effiloché with figs, duck breast or stuffed pumpkin. But our favorite is the pasta carbonara, made with Corsican tomme and pig’s cheek. Fresh fish, delicious vegetarian dishes and seasonal vegetables are also available. In addition, the selection of top-quality Corsican wines perfectly complements the meal.
To round off this delicious meal, Le Wagon Bleu’s desserts are a real treat for the taste buds. With options such as pain paysan perdu, pastizzu or Corsican tiramisu, guests are invited on an excellent culinary journey in a setting that lends itself perfectly to it!
In short, Le Wagon Bleu is a top choice for lovers of Corsican cuisine in Paris. With its atypical setting, delicious cuisine and selection of wines, the Wagon Bleu guarantees an unforgettable culinary experience for its customers. Try it for yourself!
