New stylish eats and stay in Paris

 

Paris

No matter where you are in the world, you will have to eat at some point. Paris is one of the best places to indulge in some exquisite bites. Where shall I start? It has patisseries, boulangerie, fromageries, charcuterie, specialty chocolate shops, bistros, brasseries, molecular gastronomy, Michelin star restaurants, and many other alternatives.There are a few new places to satiate one’s hunger in the capital.

Champeaux by Alain Ducasse


“The Brasserie for the 21st Century,” located in the heart of the 1st district of Paris under the Forum des Halles’ canopy. Alain Ducasse says, ‘We envisioned this space as an original version of a contemporary brasserie.’

It is a glass surrounded, sun-drenched space with bespoke furniture, high-end materials, and attention to every single detail. It is an all-day eatery, serving lunch, snacks, dinner, or just pop in for a coffee or an aperitif; the brasserie is open to everyone.

Champeaux uses the best seasonal ingredients; it engages and guarantees the European origin of all its meats. The soufflé, the restaurant’s signature dish, perfectly epitomizes tradition with a contemporary approach. Chef Bruno Brangea has created elegant interpretations of the French classics. French onion soup, Parisian-style green bean, Confit Duck Foie Gras, Corn-fed chicken fricassée, and of course a variety of soufflés are some of the delectable offerings on the current Spring menu.

Is this the best menu display ever? A scrolling display board (8.60 meters long by 1.40 meters high) like those in railway stations and airports is connected to the kitchen, informing menu status, batches of soufflés, or even wine of the day suggestions.

Masterminded by Alain Ducasse’s restaurants’ head sommelier, Gérard Margeon, the wine list is dynamic and comprehensive. Mixology is also at the heart of Champeaux with a traditional and modern take on classic cocktails.

Les Fables de La Fontaine* Michelin star

It is a small and perfectly formed restaurant in Saint-Dominique Street in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

Les Fables de la Fontaine offers its customers a friendly atmosphere and the best of fish and seafood. It is headed by the young and talented chef Julia Sedefdjian, featuring a cuisine inspired by its origins in Nice.

Huguette Le Bistro de la Mer


It is the newest seafood restaurant in St Germain Du Pres. It just opened in March this year. It is a place to eat, to drink, to see and be seen!  Huguette is a nice, friendly place with a relaxed atmosphere, beautiful food, and good value. The portions are hearty and very generous. The service is attentive and friendly.

Huguette is not a seafood bistro like any other I’ve been to. The decor screams ‘holiday,’ and I felt like I forgot my swimming costume. The nautical theme is active throughout the venue.
