BRUTOS

A carnivore’s and natural wine lover’s dream, everything is grilled over an open flame.Owners Ninon Lecomte and Brazilian chef Lucas Baur de Campos’s rustic little neighborhood spot grills, braises and roasts everything over an open-flame including juicy whole chicken served with garlic fries and spicy mayonnaise, the grilled beef bone marrow dripping jus into pureed potatoes is practically a legend, and of beautiful aged beef steaks like the cote de boeuf with chimichurri and powdered arofa, a traditional Brazilian side dish made with toasted yuca flour/cassava flour to sprinkle over for extra va-va-voom. Don’t overlook the fantastic starters though like the hand-minced Adana lamb skewers or the pasteis, a riff on Brazilian street food filled with seasonal ingredients such as the deep-fried crab raviolis w/chorizo and smoked ricotta. Ninon is front of house serving family-style platters and in charge of their spectacular natural wine list. Brutos was built for groups of friends to share – rare for Paris - especially on the magical terrace. Sunday lunch is the most popular day of the week and locals reserve weeks in advance.
