Description

Antoine Villard, previously chef at Double Dragon and sous-chef at Septime, and Morgane Souris, formerly sommelier at Parcelles, have polished up this little gem of a contemporary bistro in eastern Paris, with its waxed-concrete floors and façade giving onto a tree-lined square. The chef showcases the experience he already has under his belt as he turns out precise and creative cuisine that draws on a variety of influences. He brilliantly combines unexpected flavours: bluefin tuna with redcurrant and marigold; raw prawns with kimchi and ginger – made with carefully selected quality ingredients
