A restaurant brought to critical acclaim under chef David Toutain, who departed in December 2012. Gaëtan Gentil was announced as his replacement in January 2013.
Anne-Sophie Pic, named in 2011 as “the world’s best female chef,” has just opened a Paris outpost with menus based around perfumes.
Pierre Jancou has relaunched Vivant Table with chef Sota at the helm and more ambitious menus at 25/45€ (lunch) and 50/70€ (dinner). The wine remains all-natural, but the cooking is better than ever and an absolute steal at lunch.
Camélia by Thierry Marx, is the second restaurant in the new Mandarin Oriental, to his flagship Sur Mesur.
Young chefs Michael Greenwold and Simone Tondo worked at Chateaubriand and Rino, among others, before opening this Menilmontant table, an instant hit that seems poised for the big time. Expect modern, seasonal cooking, and plenty of influence from former bosses Aizpitarte and Passerini.
The menu is seafood-heavy at this new address, adjacent to the marché Aligre.
Michel Troisgros is the consulting chef at this high-end hotel table.
More and more we’ve been finding ourselves around the border of the 9th and 10th arrondissments, on and around rue des Petites Écuries and rue Richer, a stretch of real estate that Alexander Lobrano calls “an urban axis that offers a fascinating lesson in the realities of life in Paris”. And, we would add, some great food.
2012 has already been a busy year on the Paris restaurant scene. Here’s a selection of the noteworthy newcomers that everyone is talking about.
Modern haute cuisine is on the menu at this posh Golden Triangle newcomer.
Spanish chef Sergi Arola heads this flagship table at the new W Hotel. Small plates, not-so-small prices.
Not to be confused with Au Passage or Bar Le Passage, this bare bones bistro offers a safe, 15€ lunch formula, with à la carte prices significantly higher. Open Monday.
