We take you.

Les Parisiens: elegant bistro

Already at the head of Sellae and Mensae under the Buttes Chaumont , Thibault Sombardier has no equal in imagining dishes of formidable efficiency, where the simplicity of a beautiful product gives way to readable and gourmet dishes: tarama poutargue and lime (€9), supreme of Landes yellow chicken roasted on the bone, anchovy/tarragon mustard, light béarnaise (€28), amazing snail ravioli , peas, lightly buttered vegetable broth (€18 ), knife-cut beef tartare , caper sorrel and smoked eel (€20) or tender white asparagus from the Landes just steamed, Maltese sauce (€19).

Naughty and resolutely foodporn, the desserts force a tough choice between the hot pistachio soufflé, orange blossom raspberry sorbet (€16), lukewarm chocolate mousse , hazelnut praline, feuillantine, buckwheat ice cream (€15), Suzette -style garnished cabbage (€12), floating island to share, caramelized hazelnuts (€22) or green apple/matcha tea pavlova (€12) and other ice creams and sorbets.

Felted cocktails

One night at the hotel

And why not book a Parisian night in this new haunt of Saint-Germain-des-Prés ? The decor of the rooms, signed Didier Benderli (also behind the Pavillon de la Reine of the same Chevalier Paris hotel group ), recalls the chic and cozy atmosphere of beautiful Parisian apartments with pastel leather headboards, rounded lines and a sublime parquet point of Hungary . As a bonus: a Codage spa with swimming pool in the basement, replacing an old cabaret. Divine.
