Substance
After Hémicycle closed, chefs Flavio Lucarini and Aurora Storari landed at Substance in the 16th — and the cooking is the most refined we’ve seen from them yet.
Tasting Menus
Fugue
Chef Hitoshi Minatani brings technically precise yet generous French cooking to Gare de l’Est. The 75€ tasting menu offers exceptional value, the wine list rewards curiosity, and counter seating lets you watch the chef work in this pared-down stone-walled space.
Datil
Chef Manon Fleury’s vegetable-forward tasting menu restaurant in the northern Marais. Five-course menu (65€ lunch, 120€ dinner) emphasizes seasonal vegetables and seafood. Collaborative kitchen led by Fleury and Laurène Barjhoux (ex-Arpège). Natural wine pairings, calm service. Open Monday dinner.
