Otto is a wine bar from Eric Tronchon, an MOF chef who runs the nearby one-star restaurant Solstice. I got to know (and love) Tronchon’s cooking when he was at Semilla, and when he developed the menu for Semilla’s next-door wine bar Freddy’s. The menu at Otto is very similar to Freddy’s: diminutive plates of grilled shitake mushrooms, fried things, grilled seafood.

IN OTHER WORDS
- Michelin Guide “A welcome addition to the rue Mouffetard: this bistro with a minimalist decor comprising concrete floor and ceiling is modelled on the Japanese izakaya. Under the leadership of chef Eric Trochon, Otto proposes a cuisine for sharing based on a short menu that revolves around the produce, simply accompanied by a condiment or a sauce for that extra kick. Hence chimichurri, sauce vierge or diable, ponzu sauce or lemon condiment are served alongside meat and fish, often cooked over binchotan coals.”
